Betting Blog - Bang and Pod’s bets

Cardiff win 1-0.  Pretty lucky though, Odejayi missed a sitter for Barnsley.  Bank to -£18 now.  Looking better. 

Champions League, is tricky.  Dodging Liverpool/ Arsenal at all costs.  Is on ITV so should be a good one to watch at home.  Chelsea should win but it wouldn’t surprise me if Fenebahce sneaked a draw.  Man U and Barca don’t need to win so the usually good odds aren’t actually that good. 

West Ham to beat Pompey looks a good bet.  Pompey played at the weekend, whereas West Ham didn’t.  Don’t know how bothered Pompy can be at this stage of the season.  Unlikely to catch Everton, they’ll get UEFA Cup action next year with winning the FA Cup.  2.08 -0.25 on the Asian Handicap is a good price.  £100 staked. 

Other bet has writing all over the wall. 

Bet Slip - Thank You and Good Luck!

Cardiff to beat Barnsley, 2.1.  Going with the league form here.  Barnsley are shocking in the league despite knocking out Liverpool and Cheslea previous rounds. 

£100 staked. 

Very first bet went well but all down hill after that.  MK Dons at 1.72.  £100, win but then

Accrington over 2.5 goals, £50 lost,

West Brom Pompey, overs, £50 lost,

Arsenal to beat Liverpool £100 lost. 

Bank at -£128. 

Personal bets not gone well either, had £50 on Arsenal after hearing Benitez was making 7 changes and resting their 2 star players.  Another £50 on Ipswich to beat Colchester.  Colchester haven’t won in 10 or something like that and when I back against them, they win 2-0. 

Only other bet I’ve had, is Chelsea/ Everton double.  With the way my lucks been doing, relegated Derby will end up winning. 

Pity its a losing one.  Can’t believe how poor England are.  They never looked like equalising.  Capello needs to kick some ass.  Even the Italian can’t get the performances out of the players.  It didn’t help that Owen, a proven goal scorer started on the bench.  I can’t remember the France keeper making any decent saves. 

I’ll make it back at the weekend.  Man U, Chelsea, Spuds treble pays 2.86.  £50 staked.  All home wins against, Villa, Boro and Newcastle.  Can’t see the top 2 slipping up because the title race is so tight and Newcastle haven’t got the quality to get anything from Whiteheart Lane. 

I think I’ll have whatever Pod’s having too.  Syndicate bets won’t start again until the after the weekend (Next month)

I am still a bit gutted about all the money lost this month.  Its been quite a disaster.  Going to try my luck tonight on the England France game.  I can’t see England losing this game.  With all the hype surrounding Capello, I can only see X2 (draw or away win).  So £50 staked at 1.62. 

Not a good weekend.  Reading (2-1), QPR(3-3) and Chelsea win (2-1).  Others don’t though, Fulham (0-2), Everton (1-1), Bordeaux (1-3), Real Zaragoza (1-1) and Osasuna (0-1).  About £100 loss.  Typical, Tip-Ex tip 3 from the Spanish league, I pick the 2 that don’t win and the one that I don’t pick wins at 6.5.  Never mind. 

Pods up, Sheff U win 1-0.  He also has Spurs (2-0) and Ronaldo to score anytime against Liverpool.  Some guy have all the luck. 

As the syndicate went bust no bets this weekend.  We’ll still be individually.  Here are mine for the weekend so for. 

Reading to beat Birmingham 2.1.  Reading have hit some form recently.  Good wins against Boro and Man City and a narrow loss at Anfield for the last 3 games. 

Fulham draw no bet against Newcastle. 3.7.  Fulham haven’t won away for about a year.  Good performance last time out.  I think they are due an away win against a Newcastle side that hasn’t won in 14. 

Everton -0.75 at 2.02.  I’ll stick with the on form team, last weeks result against Fulham was a blip caused by the UEFA Cup.  West Ham seasons is over. 

QPR +0.5 against Wolves, 1.85.  QPR hitting some form.  Wolves have exactly the same last 5 results WWLDW.  Anyone can beat anyone in that league.  Like the half ball start. 

Chelsea to beat Arsenal, 2.25.  Chelsea are the stronger team.  They did screw me over last game by drawing 4-4 but at least they scored 4 goals.  Arsenal have run out of steam.  I expect Chelsea to win this and the premiership to be a 2 horse race between man u and chelsea.

Two picks from Tip-ex Real Zaragoza  -0.5 1.91, Osasuna -0.25 1.83. 

7 Bets £50 each.  I’ll be devastated if they all lose. 

I didn’t listen to the game so don’t know how it well Everton played.  They lost 1-0.  Guess their run had to come to an end at some point.  So thats it for the month.  -£400.  Painful.  Apologies to anyone who followed us on that one.  I’m £110 down off that (half the syndicate bet and my £50 side bet). 

Until next month…

No bets yesterday.  Got up at 3pm and missed all the kick offs.  So today, we are having Everton to beat Fulham.  Odds are 1.95 -0.25 on the Asian.  £119 staked.  If that doesn’t come in then its bankruptcy for this month.  Odds movements are a little worrying but I am less concerned about odds movements nowadays in the premiership.  All stats point an away win, apart from the head to head at Fulham which I discount because I don’t believe what happened years ago has any bearing on todays result (Everton haven’t done the double over Fulham since 1966)

Villa screw up drawing to Boro 1-1.  Bank down to -£281.  Tonight, Bolton concede late.  Sporting win 1-0.  So bet is a push but as it was so late, it does feel like a win.  If we’d have gone 1X2 on it, we’d have got 1.67.  Hindsight is a wonderful thing.  Just glad it was a push.  My £50 side bet would have lost too, so it does in a way feel like I’ve made £100 rather than being level. 

Looking at the weekend, Everton are 6/5 to win against Fulham.  VCbet are going to take a battering or make a packet.  They’ve gone top price for it.  You can bet here I’ve had £50 side bet on it.  If you haven’t already an account with them, its worth signing up because they give you a £50 free bet if the odds are evens or better.  They’ve gone top price on Birmingham too, 2.3.  Another 50 notes on that.  Newcastle are absolutely shocking.  Why is any team odds against at home to Newcastle?  I don’t know what the syndicate bets are yet but I’ve snapped up these prices.  I am pretty sure none of them will last. 

If you haven’t got a VC account, I’d recommend, opening an account, sticking £50 on Everton to beat Fulham and then your £50 free bet on Birmingham to beat Newcastle.  Visit the site  Its worth it because even if both lose, you are down £50 but if both win you make £125.  Everton win, Birmingham lose, you still make £60 because Birmingham is a free bet.  Everton lose, Birmingham win , you are still £15 in profit.
