    Fancy Inter to beat Fiorentina 1-0 today.

    They've won their last 3 games 1-0 and they won their previous home game 1-0 as well. I reckon Fiorentina will be cagey in their approach as well. 1-0 at 11/2 seems a good bet to me, with money back if it's 0-0 if you're on 365.

    Going to have a go at building a balance with singles again.

    1 unit: €2 (regular)
    x1.5: €3 (stongly fancied)
    x2: €4 (very strongly fancied)

    starting tonight:

    BATE v Roma
    --Roma @10/11--
    x1.5

    Maccabi Tel Aviv v Dynamo Kyiv
    --Dynamo Kyiv @19/20--
    x1

    Zenit v Gent
    --Draw @4/1--
    x1

    Lille v Nantes
    --Lille clean sheet @5/6--
    x1


    >> in-play bet: Roma +3 @4/5. X1.5


    Total staked: €12
    Total profit: -€2.70
    ​

    See how far this goes :smiley-laughing002:

    Better to make mistakes with small stakes though before I try and go bigger :icon_mrgreen:

    Tonight I'm going one unit on Atletico to keep a clean sheet @5/6, Galatasaray to win @6/4 and CSKA PSV BTTS @8/11. Might back City at 19/20 too.

    Edit:

    in-play:
    Galatasaray 1-0 @5/2 X1 - Cashed out for stake
    Real Madrid 2-0 @11/10 X1

    A few people ( myself included) said that before the Ajax game as well though.

    Down €0.34 for today.. CL not very predictable.. who knew? :smiley-laughing002:

    Even though I'm down money for both nights.. I'm actually encouraged that I'm only down €3.04 (or 1.5 units) considering how unlucky/wide of the mark I've been :smiley-laughing002:

    Lille conceding, Roma losing to BATE, Zenit getting a winner against Gent, Benfica scoring against Atletico, Galatasaray not beating Astana...

    Sorry for being almost the only one posting in this thread :smiley-laughing002: It's helping me keep track of my bets.

    Every single bet I put on tonight won except a €1 bet on Augsburg to score a second goal at 8/11 (It was all I had left in my account at the time :smiley-laughing002:)

    So went from €3.04 down to €9.11 in profit.. so I've increased my balance by 45.6%. Looking forward to the weekend now. Balance at €29.11 having started at €20.. sooner I get to €40 sooner I can up the units

    That would have made a decent accum. Definitely think you're better off sticking with singles in the long run though.

    Well done :50:

    Sound man..

    I have 14 bets lined up for the weekend already (so much time on my hands as I'm stuck inside with illness)

    I do think in-play bets are where you can find real value though. For example.. Fiorentina tonight. They were away to Belenenses. Roughly 20 minutes in they were 1-0 up and had 80% possession, but because they weren't highly fancied pre-match there were still decent odds to be found. I backed them to score the next goal at 4/7, but I tipped Fiorentina -1 in the coupon thread as well which was 8/11. They won 4-0 :smiley-laughing002:

    By the way.. Porto to win without conceding at home to Belenenses at 8/13 this weekend :50:

    I read your posts mate.I disagree with some, but im not going to argue with a man about his bets.

    Ive personally almost given up betting on football as i dont find much value in it, and the 3 option outcome makes it too tough imo.

    I do have the odd football punt though, but like the Chelsea at Newcastle match, i frequently get burned!

    Please fire away mate.. different opinions are needed :50:

    Reason I started doing this is because a fiver bet here and a fiver bet there quickly adds up to costing €50 a week sometimes.. which I can't afford to be doing.

    Aye, but nothing worse than listening to someone and it affects your bet and you end up losing or not winning etc.

    You seem to looking all over the shop though.Id suggest making an imaginary account to practise with.
    Start with 1000, and see which comes first....2000, or 0.Also, record your bets.

    Its a good way to filter out where you seem to do good or bad.You can still have an actual bet now and then also!:smiley-laughing002:
