Team Betting Thread

[T.A]

What a terrible terrible night is was for betting last night and not a great way to start life on a new forum

Dover vs Wrexham over 2.5 goals at 5/6 LOST BOBBIN
Preston 8/13 LOST SAM
Liverpool - Chelsea - BTTS @ 5/6 WON Craig
Lyon 6/5 LOST Aaron-BCFC
Roma -1 @ 23/20 LOST wiinotfit
Bournemouth - Over 1.5 Team Goals at 4/5. LOST SADDLERAD
Middlesborough 4/9 WON T.A
Roda v PSV - Over 2.5 goals @7/4 WON GINOLA
Leeds v Bournemouth - over 2.5 goals @ 19/20. LOST MAGIC

Only 3 bets out of the 9 came in last night with Preston and Bournemouth performing badly against teams lower in the table than them. However lets focus on the positives Craig won the BTTS bet between Chelsea and Liverpool, Ginola won his goal bet too with PSV losing 3-2 to Roda and I managed to predict that Middlesborough would beat a disappointing Cardiff side that are woeful away from home.

Here's what the table looks like

 

[SamScfc]

Good work T.A.

 

[Saddlerrad]

Today's shout if we are doing one is Villareal at 1/3 to beat Getafe in the Copa Del Ray.

[Ginola14]

Wow, we have a proper table now, with borders and everything!! Cheers T.A.

Just pick a selection you think will win. This can be anything. Although it can't be less than 1/4.

We'll put it in a Acca with others and hopefully win some money. If yours is the only one to lose then you'll lose 3 points. If your selection wins you'll win 3 points and move up the table

Done with French football now.

Saint Etienne come from 1-0 down to go 3-1 up and then concede twice to draw 3-3.

Against a team in the relegation zone in Ligue 2.

-3 points for you

 

[Magic]

I'm so good at this.

 

[DAN_NTFC]

Yooo hooooooo. Guess who's finally arrived

 

[T.A]

Villareal at 1/3 to beat Getafe WIN
St. Etienne to beat Tours at 1.73 or 8/11 LOSE
Barcelona HT/FT @ 21/20.LOSE

Only one win on a quiet wintery night as only Saddlerrad picks up the three points. New Boy "I'mCovCity" loses his first bet after St. Etienne lose a two goal lead to draw 3-3 (They won 5-3 AET btw ) Magic carries on his fantastic form with another loss and as such stays at the bottom of the table.

 

[DAN_NTFC]

I'm going to make my first pick in here on the new forum an enjoyable one for Saturday purlease.

Notts County: 15/8. As Bobbin will remember well, Posh are shite

 

[T.A]

Nice of you to finally drop in Dan, You know all your efforts for this weeks game are going to be wasted when the game is called off

 

[DAN_NTFC]

Oh yeah, the north can't handle a bit of snow can you

 

[T.A]

I think England as a nation can't handle a bit of snow

Seeing as we lost yesterday's posts.

I'd prefer the table structure and point scoring to stay as it is, it seems there is already far too much emphasis on the table as it is. I'm wondering how many people actually back these accumulators?

I've been guilty on a couple of occasions myself of trying to look for value rather than a 'safe' bet but if we start increasing points for odds of evens or under etc I suspect people will start throwing big odd bets about hoping one eventually lands so they can climb the table. Not what this was about was it?

 

[CFC91]

Can I join in? Work in the industry and spend half my time punting so think i'd quite enjoy this.

 

[SamScfc]

Why have half the posts gone missing here?

 

[T.A]

The forum broke again so we lost half the posts

of course you can.

I said this last night but can we have all bets for Saturday in for 12pm so we can set them up before I got to work. I'm thinking I might scrap the table and group peoples bets based on what odds they place? Seem fair?

 

[HarvSFC]

I went for Wycombe to beat Mansfield this weekend. Post got deleted.

 

[CFC91]

Swansea to win at Blackburn 13/10 @Unibet for me.

 

[Bobbin']

I'm happy for the table to be scrapped, as I said in an earlier post I think it's become a distraction from what's actually important - trying to win a few quid.

 

[SamScfc]

I'll go for Tamworth at 1/2 then.

 

[Bobbin']

Can't look past Derby at 4/7

To be honest, I think this man has nailed it. I was regularly backing them but I think that everyone would go for the ambitious bets. That could be a separate thread maybe because the idea isn't a bad one. But the whole point was indeed to win money as a team

 

[Shrimpurh]

Southend 29/20

 

[Bobbin']

Another who has backed his own team, I think Tom went with Preston yesterday.

Always sceptical when someone chooses a bet involving their own side, their emotions are usually involved in some way or another but I will still back the acca, of course.

 

[Saddlerrad]

Number 1 rule, never back your own team! There's 2 ways to be let down that way.
