British Forum BETTING thread

I think the bet for me this weekend in the SuperLeague is Hull KR @ 7/5 with Paddy Power and Stan James to beat Hull FC.

 

I had Everton beating United last year.

Don't see a repeat though

 

the haye bet is very good, might get on that pretty early, i was gonna have haye inside 3 but this looks nicer.

Reasoning: I'm still in cautious mode at the moment as we are still in the early stages of the season but the "newly promoted first home game" strategy keeps us ticking over when a decent bet is thrown up.

This game is very, very similar to the Newcastle/Villa game a few weeks ago. We have a newly promoted side, who were promoted as champions at the first time of asking, facing their first home game of the new season against a fairly big name side who might be a bit on the slide this season.

Lecce were dealt a tough return to Serie A in their first game, going down 4-0 at AC Milan. Newcastle had a similar baptism of fire going to Old Trafford and getting taught a bit of a lesson but they were able to bounce back next time against Villa. That kind of defeat for a newly promoted side immediatly gives the impression that they are not good enough and contributes to us getting a very decent price next time when the reality is of course that many sides will get hammered at Old Trafford or the San Siro during the course of the season. It is almost to be expected.

Fiorentina were on the slide for most of the second half of the season and in fact they were the 2nd worst side in Serie A over the last 20 games of the season. Their record in those games was P20, W4, D5, L11. They kept just 1 clean sheet in those 20 and failed to score in 7 of the 20. 20 games is over half a season so is a fair sample to judge a side. They look vulnerable if Lecce can overperform on their first home game back in the big league.

 

early one.. who do you lot fancy in dirrell vs ward? i'm slightly leaning towards dirrell and on paddy power he's 5/2 which seems good to me.

 

Glad I left this rugby alone tonight :yep

Definitely a half of two halves...... can see a few more twists and turns in the 2nd 40.

 

1st pick for the nfl seaon in 49ers -3 on handicap at evens
seahwks whilst at home are in total dissaray they have just dumped there best wide reciever and had to pay him $8mil to go the seahawks defense is very weak take the 49ers to start the season with a win.

i will post my best bet each week for anyone who follows me we will be betting using a simple staking plan eg increase stake from 1 unit to 2 and from 2 to4 units until we back a winner then we return back to 1 unit bet
by the end of the season providing we finish on a win we will be 16 units up so at a ton a unit thats £1600

 

:good Best of luck!!

 

Good luck mate. :thumbsup Gives me a reason to watch it anyway.

 

cheers tffp, theuzi, and wallettinspector

 

Last nights game was a bit disappointing...was expecting a shootout

 

farve looked abit out of sorts which probably was to be expected as he missed most pre season with his usual drama of im playing no im not crap and he is 41.
sundays games look decent with some potential high scoring shootouts no more so than green bay v philly and colts v texans.
good luck mate

 

following you on this, sounds like a good idea. just put two quid on for tester, could get expensive if they never win.
