Normally I have a 4 team acc, or perm any 3 from 4. I never look for the draw, but an away, or home win. Never bet on Bolton (but someone did at Walsall, thinking we could bounce back) and I usually stay away from the PL. It's been a real mix after a good start, no matter which league, nothing is certain. Take Hull against Shrewsbury, Leicester against Fulham and both favs were the home team. Then look at Arsenal Burnley, Fulham L'pool and Palace Spurs. I'll bet the bookies did well on those games. I don't play high stakes and I only use my money by not watching BWFC on ifollow and I don't use all the $12. Most I've ever lost in one bet is $5 once and cried myself to sleep.  Just out of interest BWFC are rank outsiders for tomorrow's game and can be found at 15/4 at Bet365. For tomorrow's card there are some very high odds, it's just picking the right ones... bloody obvious statement. lol I'll study form tonight and post two bets tomorrow. If you have a flutter y'sel' then feel free to post. Let me know what system, if any, you use. e.g. both teams to score etc. I may give it a try. What do I know about football? I'll make Evatt look like an expert. |

think i'll stay well away . my usual double chance one..would be Cheltenham or draw.... but at those odds and my stakes , it's not worth it.
just to flesh out some of those odds out. anyone feeling really positive about Bolton to win.
at 15/4. to win. put a quid on.... get £4.75 back .
cheltenham to win are 3/4. put a quid on..get 1.75 back ( that's 0.75 plus your £1 stake ).
double chance- "cheltenham or the draw" is 2/11 . a quid stake..gets you £1.18.
or if you'd rather cover yourself on "Bolton or draw"... it's 1/1.. put a £1 on to return £2.
the draw itself is 11/4. so a quid could get you 3.75.
minimum stake on bet 365 is just 10p, and believe me, i'm not ashamed to say i've have bet at that level many times, especially starting out.
never bet more than you can afford to lose, and always gamble responsibly folks.
as they say, when the fun stops, stop.... I think it stopped for Wots on sat'day after he switched from his initial prediction of 3-1 to Walsall to betting on Bolton to win, as he said above.

I agree with don't bet more than you can afford to lose, but there ae always ways to justify your life.
I don't smoke, but I drink and vise versa for others. I know people who do neither, but they gamble (I'm not talking pennies either).
I don't pay ifollow anymore at 10 quid/12 bucks, but 4 bucks is my stake anyway. I'll bet I'm nowhere near a quarter of the money spent on ifollow this season.
Like you rt, I'm careful.
The fun didn't actually stop at the Walsall game, but it did after watching the highlights. Man were we bad.
I do agree with you on don't bet more than you can afford to lose, but I'll go one better, which will upset the bookies and that is limit the number of bets and cap the bet at a quid, or in my case a buck, sometimes two. And most of all, don't try to recoup any losses. It's gone, finished... although I do keep track, percentage wise. I always work on percentages.
One of my part-time jobs was in a bookies when I was younger. No-one made it rich, no matter what the stake and I've seen some big wins and even bigger losses.
I've been to casinos here, twice. Never SPENT a dime, I hate the places, but I saw all these people dropping money in one arm bandits like it was free money... the clothes I've seen them in I wouldn't use as oil rags either.
Same with the lottery, buy a ticket, not two. I've seen people buying $200 and more at the corner store... and I buy one.
Here endeth the betting lesson.
Try it have fun. When the fun stops, you've overstepped your limits.

Ok, here's one bet for today's games. All based on four homes.
Ipswich 21/20 v Burton
Carlisle 4/5 v Mansfield
Crawley 5/4 v Bradford
Torquay 8/15 v Dags & Reds
$2 bet on above odds returns $25.46
All four have won their last 3 home games. My main worry is Mansfield with Nigel Clough Won 2 and Drawn 4 in last 6. So, it appears he's got them sorted defensively, which is something we could do with.
Couldn't make my mind up on a second bet, so threw it all on this one. Aren't I the risk taker... price of a can of beer.
Don't blame me if it all goes pear shaped. These are my picks, do your own.

Only ever had 2 experiences with betting and football. 1.in 2001 I was at Old Trafford with a Man U fan who is a real gambler. Wanderers were over 20 to 1 against to win and I put a quid on. Nolan and Ricketts earned me quite a return. The best was my mate has to collect my winnings at the next United home game. 2.A not so great experience. One of the first games at the Reebok after the bookies moved into the concourses I bet on Bolton to win 3-1.I spent the last 30 mins willing Wanderers not to score as it was 3-1. Of course they did and I just thought what a stupid thing to bet on the game. Since then I'd rather watch I-follow any time than bet.

Well, that didn't go down well, did it campers? They just foreclosed on the house and repossessed the car. Then the wife left me. That wasn't such a bad thing, was it? But she took the bloody dog! Now what will I do? I can hardly go sit on the town hall steps begging with no bleedin' dog can I? I missed the last bed at the 'Y' and now I'm down Shifnall Street holed up in one o' them empty mills. I've a mind to ask one o' me friends on FastBook, I've got over 2000 of 'em mind, someone'll put me up, but the batteries dyin' on the mobile, so fat chance o' that. I managed to swipe a can o white lightnin' earlier fer me dinner like, so I won't starve will 'a? If ya see an owdlad int' Newport St beggin' like, spare 'im a dime. 'Appen they'll lock me up and gi' me a nice warm cell fer t'neet, then I can work out a system... I'll get enough for EuroMillions... can't beat them odds...  |

I saw that one RT. It's a good one too. I never put money in those bloody things in the pub. These videos imply that the people who use them are using them to earn money and not just for fun.
If anyone wants to see a good BBC drama, watch Moving On: The Punter on YouTube, starring Reece Dinsdale and Melanie Kilburn.
I'm sure some of you may have seen it on TV, but it shows the misery that betting can bring home. I especially like the last frame in the drama.
I'm sure I've mentioned this before, but here it is again. I used to work on the tote betting at Raikes Lane dog track. Dogs were walked by young lads, but given extra money to feed the dogs e.g. feed the favourite a mix of porridge and a good drink of water... that'll slow it down. Another trick: When the going was good to firm, leave a hosepipe running all day outside a particular trap. Chances of that dog getting a good start, not likely.
God knows what happens with the one arm bandits.

Sorry folks, didn't get time to pick 4, as I was travelling. Maybe next weekend.
I was truly disappointed to see us lose to Tranmere, especially by a large score line.
I wouldn't have bet on that game for all the tea in China.

I had a little luck in midweek with Shrewsbury Halifax and Hartlepool, which returned $6.62 on a 25 cent bet,. Equivalent to 25+ to 1. I had two other 25 cent bets which went down, but still not a bad return for a little fun.
Today I'm going to run two bets. One treble and one 4 fold. Both stakes at 50 cents, or 50p in your money.
1 Wigan 12/5 v Shrewsbury
2 P.Vale 13/10 v Barrow
3 Morcambe 3/4 v Grimsby
1. Torquay 17/20 v Yeovil
2. Dover 13/5 v Dagenham
3. Derby 11/10 v Preston
4 Charlton 1/1 v Plymouth

If you're interested, you can get BWFC at 3/1 the draw and 5/1 the win on bet365.
