British Forum BETTING thread

sounds like there was a bit of a rukus at end with the fans.

just seen the draw for the next round, arsenal vs ipswich and birmingham vs west ham. Anyone know why it takes sky bet so long to settle winning bets but the losing ones get sorted straight away.

 

Made a few quid myself :-(

Fact!

 

What's everyone's thoughts on the Soto-Antillon fight? Bit of value with Antillon and he had a bit of hype about him last year with the rumoured knocking down of Pacquiao in sparring. However, the only fight I've seen him in was against Acosta, and it's fair to say he didn't look great. But Soto's been looking a bit lethargic recently...

 

Lebedev look a real nice punt - Huck looked good in his last performance but Godfrey offered little in return ... Leb will trade and rough Huck up ... one thing thats always a worry ; German fighter on German soil !

 

anyone betting on the world cup bid?

 

What are the odds?

 

for russia to win it was 5/2, england to get it was 13/8.

 

I fancied Russia but couldnt put a bet on in time they all looked very smug

 

Thats me finished with Boylesports, won with Barca to score both halves against real, had money on Porto last night, now the max they let me stake on the lazio inter game is 19 pounds and a f*cking ridiculous 1.10 on Lazio both halves WTF!!

 

Frampton to win by stoppage: 8/15
Fight to be under 7.5 rounds: 9/10

Reasoning:*The unintentional thread running through the 3 selections this weekend is backing teams again that cost us*last time out. I'm always happy to forgive blips here and*there so hopefully all 3 can bounce back to winning ways on Sunday.
*
I'm repeating what I've*said in past weeks*I know but Sunderland have only lost 3*of 26 Premier League home games under Steve Bruce and all 3 of those*were*forgiveable coming against Chelsea, Man Utd and Villa (when Villa were up in 3rd last Xmas).*This season their home record is very impressive considering the strength of their opponents:-
*
DREW 2-2 v Birmingham
WON 1-0 v Man City
DREW 1-1 v Arsenal
DREW 0-0 v Man Utd
WON 1-0 v A.Villa
WON 2-0 v Stoke
DREW 2-2 v Everton
*
I'm surprised we can get Sunderland at the odds we can. West Ham's away record is dreadful with their last Premier League away win way back on the opening day of last season - 25 games ago. They have conceded 2+ goals in 17 of those 25, the worst record of any Premier League club.
*
With Sunderland's strong defensive record at home West Ham wont get away with conceding 2+ in this one.
*
Looks a decent bet to me.

** ****
Reasoning: Villarreal's home record in La Liga in the last 12 months*is P22, W18, D2, L2, F48, A17. They have kept 11 clean sheets in those*22 and scored in*21 of*the 22.*They have won 12 of their last 13 home games with the*only defeat coming against Barcelona. So far this season they have won*5 out of*5 at home.
*
Sevilla are struggling a bit at the moment coming off the back of 2 consecutive home defeats. Their La Liga away record in 2010 is surprisingly poor with 11 defeats in 17 games.
*
Only 4 teams in the whole of La Liga this season have conceded more than Sevilla with 22 shipped in their 13 games. That has to be a worry going to*Villarreal who average 2.18 goals per game at home.
*
Looks a generous price to me.**

Date of Game: Sunday*5th December
Game:*Real Sociedad v*Athletic Bilboa*- kick-off 8.00pm
Competition:*La Liga
***
Selection:*Sociedad to win
*
Best Prices
2.40 with Pinnacle, Ladbrokes, Coral, Eurobet
2.38 with SBObet, BetFred, Bluesq, 888bet, StanJames, 5Dimes, Sportbet, Williamhill, VictorChandler, Skybet*
** ****
Reasoning: Sociedad came unstuck last home game going down 4-2 to Athletico Madrid. The scoreline flattered Athletico though and Sociedad were 1-0 up until the 70 mins mark. I dont see many reasons not to stick with Sociedad.
*
So far their La Liga home record since their promotion in the summer is:-
*
WON 1-0 v Villarreal
LOST 1-2 v Real Madrid
WON 1-0 v Espanyol
WON 3-0 v Deportivo
WON 1-0 v Santander
LOST 2-4 v Athletico Madrid
*
Thats a pretty decent record.
*
Bilboa traditionally are strong at home but weak away. Their 2010 La Liga away record is P18, W1, D5, L12, F14, A40
*
2.4+ for the home win looks a big price to me.

 

Friday night rugby.

Scarlets (-2) vs Leinster 10/11

 

got £5 on lazio at 2.80 ( didnt check elswere for the best odds just had a cheeky one ) there 1-0 up and looking more than worth that scoreline

 

Yeah, 2.8's about right, i'm on them also...

Inter are horse****

 

with the better half of the squad out with a "thig strain" they are but in reality if they turn it on when all fit there top 5 in the world

how does 6 players have a thigh strain at the same time and stankovic went off holding his thigh aswell
