Merlin Footy Bets (September)

[monty]

As long as your happy mate, that's all that matters. I think most of us are happy the way the results went....:)

[Merlin]

This new wand is working well…..:laugh…..

It will go tits-up in a minute…:yikes:

Nice to see a man with a bit of D…S….

[Merlin]

Well Done Mate....:thumbs

Did you play......M....?

[monty]

I sure did mate, that's why I'm still up at this silly time of the night 2.55am

Thanks for the bet...:thumbs

[Merlin]

Still in the zone…..:laugh

Must say it’s the best month I have ever had on the footy……..its all downhill from here….:laugh

Thanks for the bet...:thumbs

They should have scored 2 or 3 more to be honest.....they are out of the danger zone now......and are pushing to get back into Serie A (4 goes up)...they came down last year.....hope they dont swap places with Nautico:laugh

[monty]

Well Mate my month started very bad, but my bets seems to be going ok now, thanks to a lot of your bets and the Non League picks from my ratings sheet. I think I dropped my Irish bets at the right time.
I've had a really good day today and to end it off even better my team Ayr Utd got through to the Semi Finals of the Challenge Cup...:D so I can't complain.

Time for some shut eye now, will look forward to seeing you smash through the 100 point mark soon....:thumbs

What time is it over there?

[Merlin]

-4 British Summer Time......

[monty]

Right M....I'm heading off now, will catch up with you later...:thumbs

[Merlin]

night night.....:yikes:.......I have a couple of hours to catch up on some reading............

[MaxySerb]

Well done Merlin!
Just keep the good run going m8!

[MaxySerb]

Tonight, I had only one single - on Shacktar. Well, good day after all...

What do you think about tomorrow, about this:

Tonight, both English teams in CL played draw 1:1. Both Liverpool and Chelsea received first.

So, my point is this:
There is no way that in one CL week neither English team doesn't win.
On wed night, Arsenal or MU will score first. I believe that it will be easier for MU to score against Sporting.
Seville is tough team to beat so I'll probably take MU on single to win and to score first. :wink
All in all, there will probably be 4 singles:
Arsenal - Sevilla - Arsenal to score first
Arsenal - Sevilla - Over 2.5

Sporting - MU - MU to score first
Sporting - MU - MU to win

[Mug OUFC]

Great stuff again merlin :yikes: :happyboun:happyboun:happyboun

I am attempting to write a play…and I needed to reread about certain Christian dogma ….which means all of it….:laugh

Oh!...:yikes: you've lost me now....lol

I'll stick to reading form mate, I'm not into play or anything to do with religion. Are you writing it for it to be acted out on a stage?

Good luck with your writing/litrature whatever you call play writers call it...:rolleyes:

Is the American footie any good for betting on M, I don't know much about it at all. Do you get many winners from it?

[Mug OUFC]

MAXI :ooo:thumbs:thumbs:thumbs

[Merlin]

I havent had many bets, M...but I am in front on the bets I have had…..Without checking…..think I have only had about 7 bets….with 4 wins…. In profit

…..but caution though….coz it’s the kind of league where they beat each other…..but I cant grumble up to now….

[Merlin]

St Albans 0-5 Thurrock

:laugh

I bet the home win….:laugh

St Albans got demoted last year and have a had a clean out, and management change…They have had a bad start - I though they would start turning the corner……..looks like they are going further backwards….

[monty]

…..but caution though….coz it’s the kind of league where they beat each other…..but I cant grumble up to now….

I've only ever had a couple of bets in that league and I always go for home wins, so I might have a go at your bet tonight, but I aint staying up till that time...:yikes:

Faith has just run out mate, smith has to go now...team selection/tactics/motivation is all wrong. Not so long ago we were winning the league cup...now we are losing to village teams of roofers and teachers playing their third game in 6 days..shameful

Im off to slit me wrists :D

Nice win in the irish tonight mate, i was with you, the only highlight of a terrible evening :thumbs

[Skittle]

I know they were strong favourites and I've followed them before, but with the current run of form they are in I couldn't back Dundalk. It will take another win or two before I do them again.

FRIDAY FOOTY BETS

Shelbourne v Finn Harps
AWAY @ 2.65
5 POINTS

Derry versus UCD is a cup game, in fact the quarter-finals.

The difference in prices (Derry @ 1.65 & UCD @ 6.00) indicates that Derry are warm favourites, and indeed may win. But on balance of league form, the students have a chance, and at 5/1 are worth a small bet. Notwithstanding Derry are often notoriously unreliable….and their attitude is sometimes questionable – In my opinion….

October.......where you been , Max...Monty hás done a runner tôo....:laugh…probably fishing though…

[MaxySerb]

I'm literally chasing conditional exams for fourth year. Another one and I'm done for this year...I have to be on university all the time so I'm not at home too much, I barely have time to pick some games. CL was the only I managed to check out.

I'm looking at this Bundesligas for tonight, but I don't know what to play. Home win for M'Gladbach looks quite good to me but I'll wait for half time score. Hope that there will be a HT draw so I can pick home win then with some higher value. 1.70 is to small for me for such'a game. It's not that much certain victory for MG.

Will see...

[Mug OUFC]

Merlin Ive put up with this long enough. My humble apologies, i do not wish to offend, i doff my literal cap to your superior betting knowledge and worldwiliness and I have held my tongue and suffered in silence but finally I fear I must speak out.

Notwithstanding means in spite of. Nevertheless. You have been using it incorrectly for some time now.

I work in contracts you see, I use 'notwithstanding' all the time, incorrect usage in an agreement could have serious legal ramifications, so I have to be aware of these things.

I bid you good day :thumbs

[vegyjones]

Stop nitpicking Mug! Notwithstanding, you do have a piont :D

[Mug OUFC]

Im not nitpicking. And its point not piont :thumbs

Damn...M'Gladbach is leading 1-0 and I missed it...I wanted to wait until HT, but they have scored in 44'.

I don't really follow the horses anymore, but there seemed to be a lot of talk about this horse and it's a big price. I'll put on a small e-way bet on just for the hell of it.

[Mug OUFC]

They have won both games i have seen/bet on their opponents

As far as Im concerned they are the best team in ireland :yikes:

[monty]

I'm going to have to have a bet on Ayr Utd tomorrow, Bet365 have Ayr at 2/1 with the draw No-bet Option. The Raith Rovers website said they have 4 first team players missing for tomorrows game against Ayr.
The Raith Rovers fans don't seem to bothered as there nearly all of them are predicting a home win.

Thats a good price........:yikes:......get on......

[Merlin]

I just predicted…

Raith 1 – 2 Ayr :yikes:

[monty]

That's my bet on (3/1 DNB) for the double. It's a gamble but I think it might be worth taking, as its a good price especially as I'm getting the Draw No Bet with it.

[monty]

I just predicted…

Raith 1 – 2 Ayr :yikes:

[MaxySerb]

Well done Merlin! Fantastic! I wanted to give you rep point but it says that I can't do that and that I must spread some points...whatev'a...

Anyway, thank you!

I didn't follow my Gladbach but i certainly did Harps... :Helooo


What all of you think about Newcastle to win at home tomorrow? They are my favorite for tomorrow's Premiership matches...good value, around 2.00, and most important thing is that I have some felling about them too... :wink

[monty]

MaxySerb

It's not a game I've looked at, but they usually do play well at home.

[MaxySerb]

Yes, usually...

They blow up some matches this season...especially with Derby on Monday. I think that they will give their best to win tomorrow. They have a strong team this season and I think that Martins, Owen or Smith can find their way to the net. They have won 2 in a row at home (LC and PL).

[monty]

Good Luck with it mate..:)

If I do a an Acca Bet tomorrow I'll put them in with it...:thumbs

[MaxySerb]

Ouch...crap...my bad. They are playing on Sunday at 13:30...:splapme

Never mind...I'll take them on Sunday. And for tomorrow...I'll have to find something else. :doh

[Merlin]

SUNDAY 23rd SEPTEMBER
..................................
BRAZIL SERIE A
NAUTICO V SPORT
.........................

It’s a big day for :football21: fans of Nautico and Sport :football21:, the two oldest professional football clubs in Recife, northeast Brazil – today is the..

"O Clássico dos Clássicos" which really means, in English; the Derby of all Derby’s.

I am a huge fan of Nautico, and consequently known as a :football3:FANAUTICO.:football3:

There are 3 professional teams in Recife and my allegiance to Nautico, in particular, is almost certainly due to being thrust into a Fanautico environment upon arrival in Brazil – life would have been :8_1_215: tricky:8_1_215: if I had shown other allegiances….

:football3:NAUTICO:football3:
………….
Being established in 1901, as a :yikes: rowing club :yikes:, Nautico is the oldest club in Recife. But it wasn’t until 1905 when the club developed a proper and serious football section, initiated and formed by :yikes: Englishmen :yikes:(more correctly British, as their were some Scots, too) who were living and :REGamblMoworking:REGamblMo in the area (engineers and traders).

Nautico became known as the :REGamblMo¨club of the rich¨:REGamblMo , because they would not allow :Blacklistnonono: black players :Blacklistnonono: in the team, but readily accepted :killer white players, not only from the local area, but from anywhere in Brazil and beyond.

This policy created a schism, and guess what happened? :rolleyes:

A small group broke away and formed another team, and guess what they called themselves?:rolleyes:

Yep – you got it – SPORT…:splapme


:icon_tong SPORT :icon_tong
……….
We know from the aforementioned how Sport was founded, and as a side-issue of interest – some football clubs all over the world were founded by schisms of one sort or another, be it over :splapmeskin colour:splapme or :splapmeclass.:splapme A very famous example is the two big Milan clubs, whereby Inter Milan was formed by a breakaway group from AC Milan, who were unhappy about AC being dominated by Italians (or more correctly, working class Italians, particularly from the south). And today, both Inter Milan and Nautico et al, still have the elitist cross to bear:rolleyes: – whilst AC Milan and Sport enjoy a massive working class fan base.

:thechopDerby of all Derby’s.:thechop – Today’s game…

Nautico are the hosts, and oddly are favourites.:yikes: I say oddly, because they have not got a good record in these games :nutter– lets take a look at some stats:

During the past 5 years there have been 13 head-to-heads…

SPORT have won 6 :dung

NAUTICO have won 3 :sport-smi

There have been 2 draws :GP

It actually gets much worse for Nautico if we look only at the 2007 games…

SPORT won 3 in 2007:uoyurs
NAUTICO are yet to beat Sport in 2007.:dung

Lets break the head to heads down a bit further…(with Nautico as the home team)

From 6 head to heads, its 2 wins a piece and 2 draws –
Clearly, on balance, SPORT comes out pretty much on-top in the head-to-head stats…

What about current league position and form?

Sport are currently 9th in Serie A, whilst Nautico are sitting in 18th position. However, :clpNautico are on an unbeaten run of 4 games:clp, including 2 recent very good away wins – they are in ascendancy at the mo….On the other hand, Sport have drawn 2, lost and won one from their last 4 games…

On balance then, Nautico are in better current form – but its never that cut and dried , is it!

This is a big derby, huge rivalry, and both clubs will have an insatiable desire to win:mady – Nautico need the win more than Sport – as they are currently occupying a Serie A relegation spot….but it’s a tough pick – especially for me being a subjective Fanautico….

My head tells me to bet Sport:yikes:, because in my view they represent a bit of value – lets take a look at the prices:

NAUTICO = 2.10
DRAW = 3.25
SPORT = 3.35

Don’t you agree, with the information I have given you, according to the prices, Sport are the head pick?:yikes:

I will be going to this game:horse, and I don’t want to be in the situation where I am shouting for Nautico and hoping that Sport win because of my bet……I will play it safe – and go for the overs bet…..

OVER 2.50 Goals looks good to me,:smokin the price is a bit short @ 1.75 – but I really do think its kinda nailed on:smokin….(in my opinion)….

However, if I wasn’t a Nautico fan, ? Who knows....?

In addition to my overs bet, I am going to have a HT/FT DOUBLE as a side-bet….

Oh, just before I sign off….:rolleyes:

The overs and unders stats….

The last 13 games have ONLY produced 6 overs…..BUT…The average goals per game has been 3. That is 13 games producing 39 goals…

:Blacklistnonono:BUT- BUT – BUT:Blacklistnonono: –NAUTICO have scored 11 goals in the last 3 games::hump…SPORT have only scored 4:giggle , but that is 15 between them…..mean averaging 5 goals a game…..which of course, bodes well for the overs….

MY BET
………..
OVERS @ 1.75 = 9 POINTS
HT/FT DOUBLE RESULT
HT/FT Double : Nautico / Sport @ 34.00 = ½ POINT
HT/FT Double : Sport / Náutico @ 29.00 = ½ POINT

10 POINT BET –

Good Luck if you play…..:bouncey

[MaxySerb]

Nice preview Merl! :wink

Hope that Nautico is going to win...

Anyway...
This is what I'm going to play for today.

I have one ACCA pending from Saturday with Newcaste home win on it. There is about 15e profit on that acca (I've staked 1e).

As I told you yesterday, I'll try to beat bookies with Newcastle today.

So, I'll place 20e on Newcastle win at 2.00.
Also, I'll place 10e on Newcastle draw 3.00 as cover bet.

If Newcastle win, there is 55e for me today -> 25 clean profit.
If they in any case play draw, I'll be sad, but not to sad with my 30e back.

I must remind you that average wage in Serbia is about 250e, so that why I'm happy with 25e from one game - it's 10%. :D

You must be asking what if they lose?
If they lose, I'll hate them for the rest of my life, as simple as that. ;fire

[Merlin]

Good luck , Maxy..I am on NEWCASTLE...but I have done draw no bet with Paddy Power @ 1.50....

If you have an account there its worth you doing that too.....because you will get more value for your stake...than betting the way you described....

If they draw you get your stake back...if they win you will get 45e....5 more than your proposed bet....

[MaxySerb]

Yes, I know, but here in Serbia you can't have Master or Visa to pay over net if you don't have constant source of income aka regular full time job. :wink
And I don't have it...luckily there are bookies on every 100m.

And there are no Draw-no-bet for every game, that's why I'm doing it like that. It's a habit now...
Anyway, Draw-no-bet on this game is 1.35 at all bookies in Serbia...

[Skittle]

Good god Merlin, is that what they call a 'doodle' in Brazil, or have you been on the wacky baccy ?

[Merlin]

Good god Merlin, is that what they call a 'doodle' in Brazil, or have you been on the wacky baccy ?

I got to try and stay in profit till May end.....I dont want to be driving that taxi of yours , in my birthday suit, running in and out of , Croxteth, West Derby, Toxteth and "Noggsy" at 2.00am on a Saturday night :yikes: :laugh

[Fadetoblack]

Newcastle were absolutely useless on Monday night and I've decided to never again have a penny on them. Useless.

[Skittle]

No offence to the 'northern' part of the city, but I prefer to stick to the Picton Rd, Smithdown Rd, Allerton Rd, south side ish of town.

.............and less of the birthday suit, I told you that in confidence.:erotic4: :yikes:

[MaxySerb]

Newcastle 3:1...Viduka scored twice!

:wiggle:

I have more luck on your thread Merl... :D

[MaxySerb]

Another pick for today:

I'm putting my money on Atletiko Madrid home win at 1.60!

[monty]

I was thinking the same MaxySerb, but I can get a better price than the one you've got. W-Hill & Ladbrokes have them at 8/11 (1.72) Is your price from a local bookie?

[Merlin]

Well done Maxy....

Good Luck Guys..if your playing Madrid…..will give it a miss…but looks good on paper…

[Merlin]

Monty....sent you a PM over at the other pub……:yikes:

[MaxySerb]

I was thinking the same MaxySerb, but I can get a better price than the one you've got. W-Hill & Ladbrokes have them at 8/11 (1.72) Is your price from a local bookie?

Yes... :(
1.65 is all I can get in Belgrade...

[monty]

Monty....sent you a PM over at the other pub……:yikes:

Got it mate...:thumbs

That's a good idea....:D

[monty]

Yes... :(
1.65 is all I can get in Belgrade...

Thought that's what it was...:rolleyes:

[MaxySerb]

Atletico 1:0!!! :REGamblMo

[monty]

Atletico 1:0!!! :REGamblMo



It's a good start mate, ....:thumbs but there is still a long way to go...:rolleyes:

[MaxySerb]

I know, but I'm watching the game and Atletico is looking very confident and in control of the game.
They had two more 100% chances...but Forlan and Aguero missed...
I think that here will be more goals...hope for Atletico. :D

Rennes and PSG both lost tonight in France...do you think that Lyon is going to win?

[MaxySerb]

Merlin, how sure are you about Nautico?
What about Palmeiras, can they win?


Hahahahaha!
Racing have a red card now. And how stupid it is!
Jordi come in and recieved 2 yellow cards in space of 3 minutes. :D
His manager looks furious alright...

[MaxySerb]

Atletico 2:0!!!

Jeeeeeiiiii!

This week is like a dream to me, 6 singles in a row...

edit:

Atletico 3:0...

[monty]

3-0....:thumbs

Well Done Maxy Mate.... it looks like we've won now .....:D


:REGamblMo

[MaxySerb]

4:0...this is getting embarrassing... :Helooo

Atletico is totally dominant...

Yes, we WON!

I think that's all from me for today, I think that Lyon will probably win but I don't want to push my luck...It's enough for one day... :thumbs

[monty]

I've had a good day as well Maxy,

For my last bet today I went with Merlins pick and I've done Over 2, 2.5 goals in the Nautico game 1.47

[MaxySerb]

Well...it's to late for me&Nautico now...
Never mind.

edit:
Whoooops...what's that?
Lyon is losing 1-0...Luckily I didn't bet on them. Discipline is very important in this "sport"...obviously... :D

[Merlin]

Doh...sorry for the guys who bet Náutico overs..........especially Monty who I know did bet it for sure…..

Easy to say, but it really should have been over’s…so many chances in the game…unbelievable…the good news is WE WON 2-0……

Thee were 3 players sent off….2 Nautico and 1 sport(all around the 70 minute mark)….it was a great game…

Just sorry about the overs bet not coming in………and I went 9 points on it, too….

[monty]

Doh...sorry for the guys who bet Náutico overs..........especially Monty who I know did bet it for sure…..


Just sorry about the overs bet not coming in………and I went 9 points on it, too….


Merlin

I did do a bet on overs but If you check my bet I had over 2, 2.5 so I'm hoping to get some of my stake money back, well I think that's how it works.

[Merlin]

Oh......OK....if you have done it that way...you will get half your stake back......I think...dont know for sure without knowing the exact bet....

[monty]

I Got 50% of my stake money returned, it come up as ½ Void ½ Lose so it's not just so bad. Can't complain had a great day....:)

[Merlin]

Good , I feel better about it now...I hate other people losing money more than myself.......notwithstanding, I am well up....and you may not have followed all the bets...so wont be in the same position as me......have I made sense...:yikes: ?

[monty]

YIP you sure did Mate, and just for the record "notwithstanding" means.

[Merlin]

:laugh:laugh:laugh

[monty]

M

Did you have a bet on the win?

[Merlin]

No....as I said before ,M...for better or worse...I post all my bets....I never bet anything I dont post.....thats just me....:yikes:...

I do feel a little gutted mind.....that I didnt...

[monty]

I know you post all your bets, but I thought they might have betting in the ground like some of the teams have over here, and maybe you had placed a bet during the game.

Sounds like a typical Derby match with Goals - A few sent off.

Was it a good atmosphere? How many fans go to these games?

[Merlin]

Nautico Capacity is only 23.000.....it is quite a uniqie stadium in Brazil...one of the oldest tôo...it was built as an elite club.......no blacks allowed in etc, etc,etc…..the spot its in does not allow for expansion(its situated in quite a posh location/residential area…with the British Country Club, right next door…which is an exclusive expensive country club:yikes: …….other clubs hate playing here…coz its so unfriendly for them…being tight, compact…and partisan…….

Its illegal to bet in Brazil – although you can bet online..outside the territory…….the Brazilian government cut a deal with Betfair about 2 years ago….thankfully….as I was having problems initially…….but I work round it now……

It was a typical derby…….sport and nautico hate each other…..:laugh………

[monty]

Its illegal to bet in Brazil – although you can bet online..outside the territory…….the Brazilian government cut a deal with Betfair about 2 years ago….thankfully….as I was having problems initially…….but I work round it now……




I didn't know that, at least you can get a bet now.....:D

Catch up with you tomorrow....:D

[MaxySerb]

Like monty sad, never mind Merl, it was a great day.

I didn't put any money on Nautico to be truth,I wanted to play on Nautico win after your post but i didn't have the balls... :icon_tong

Luckily, crappy results came in to late for me. :D
Lyon, Rennes, Real, Sporting...And they both were losing until the end of the game...stupids...
BTW, I can't believe that Sporting didn't win...That's what it's going to happen with your team if you bring Serbian trio in one transfer period (Stojkovic, Purovic (scorer today) and Vukcevic) - you are going do disappoint your supporters! :D

Betting is illegal in Brazil? I didn't knew that... There was similar idea in parliament in Serbia, but they (government) learned that there would be riots if they do that. Latest public opinion poll shows that 84% of men in Serbia older than 15 placed a bet at least once in last 10 years and 31% do it constantly. :splapme


So, consequence of that is that now we have a bookie on every 100m... :)

St. Patrick's Athletic v Bohemians
DRAW @ 3.20 with Paddy Power

7 Point Bet

[MaxySerb]

Hi Merl, I'll continue to "spam" your thread because that brings me luck. :wink

My pick for Monday is:

Elfsborg - Hammarby -> Home Win at 1.90

I don't like to bet on teams which I don't know very good. But I'll make exception this time. Reasons:

1. Elfsborg is quite good at home (5-5-0 21:8) and Hammarby is afoul away (1-3-6 9:16).

2. Elfsborg was second on the table before this round and one point behind Djurgarden. Now is third because Kalmar won. Djurgarden is playing one of the hardest matches in the season - away against AIK. So, there is more than great possibility that Djurgarden won't win.

3. Hammarby is 8-th on table and I'm not sure about their motivation.

4. If Elfsborg want to be first on the table now is an excellent chance.

5. Elfsborg won last game at Hammarby 1:0. Last 5 Head to Head matches: Elfsborg won 3, Hammarby won 1 and one draw.

6. Value is very good considering all above.

7. I have some feeling that Elfsborg is going to win. I'll take this for sure. :D

Any suggestions or thoughts are welcome... :)

[Merlin]

No worries Maxy........good luck mate....

Cant help you with that bet mate......may as well tossa frigging coin...:laugh

[MaxySerb]

Only thing that worries me is that I made 6 correct tips in a row... :D
Hope that run will go on tomorrow...

[monty]

I just predicted…

Raith 1 – 2 Ayr :yikes:

Merlin/ Skittle

How many points do you get for a win? How does the scoring work in the prediction league.

I can't understand some football managers,:splapme the Raith Rovers manager John McGlynn said in the Sunday Mail newspaper that Ayr Utd were very lucky to win on Saturday...:yikes:
The way I seen it Ayr Utd scored 3 goals Away from home, hit the bar and the post, and took all 3 points, enough said.:D

Well you can judge for yourself from the highlights, but I think he's talking P~~h

Oh! and the Raith keeper played a blinder, check it out....:laugh

http://www.ayrunitedfc.co.uk/autv/

You get 2 points for each correct score(amount of goals for each team)
1 point for a correct result (home , draw, win)…

It was a bit annoying for me this week…coz I was the only one to predict an away win…and only scored 1 Point…whilst others…like Skittle, get 2 points for predicting 2 goals for Raith…
…………………………………………………………………………………………….

Typical Scottish spin that..:laugh , M…..Gordon Brown does it all the time….:laugh

I know...oldest rule in the book..."Don't go chasing loses". And I disobeyed. I had discipline last night with Lyon and I don't know what a hell happened to me tonight...
:headbange

Not to worry..mate...as long as you learn from it...the bad feeling will go….but bad feelings exist to teach us lessons……:yikes:

[monty]

Not forgetting we bet on the footy everyday of the week...sometimes twice a day...and to show a profit after months of doing that is some achievement…………

Very true mate! I often wonder how we manage to come out in profit when you see some of the crazy results that come in each day.
I once read in a book that you should never place a bet unless your confident that your selection can win, and that's my downfall I place lots of good bets and they win, then I end up having a crazy spell of placing bets that I'm not very confident about and of course they lose.
If I could stick to my main picks in one day I would do Ok. My biggest problem is that I get bored easy, and end up placing bets that I shouldn't...:mad:

Thats just not practical...M....all betting is subjective….(unless you use a system)…even method betting is subjective…….some may disagree with that though….

I do think a little intuition/insight or something unknown comes into the reckoning with footy betting…..just a little……….its always nice to have stats and stuff to back up your feelings…..:yikes:

Take tomorrow night..I do fancy Weymouth to get something at Torquay….this goes against all the known current form…….but you got to go with it….(sometimes)…or you would hardly place a bet…..

I am rambling, rushing…hope it makes sense …wot I said….

[monty]

I feel the same way about a Scottish CIS Cup game game on Wednesday night, I have a funny feeling Aberdeen might struggle down in Glasgow when they play Partick Thistle. I think Aberdeen might be distracted by their upcoming European tie in the Ukraine. Partick Thistle haven't played that good this season, but I think they might just get a shock result on Wednesday night.

Home Price: 4/1 Draw: 13/5 Away: 8/15

[Skittle]

What's that word again.......................................Discipline.

[monty]

I have a hell of a lot more Discipline on this site than I ever did on the G.G On here it seems to be mainly football bets 95% of the time, but on G.G they seemed to be betting on just about everything and anything, so I fell into the trap and ended up betting on Sports I didn't know anything about, but on here I feel as if I'm getting back to my old self, and sooner or later the profits will return.

Oddly - the bets I am most confident in seem to lose more than those I am not confident in. Particularly when following merlin :yikes: I guess this means I havent got that 6th sense that you guys have, or a lot less experience.

Discipline is clearly very important, i am convinced the only reason my non league bets are in profit is because it has forced me to be a lot more disciplined about my selections and staking than i would normally be.

Like you I have a low boredom threshold...particularly at work :ermmm and betting is my main way of amusing myself and engaging my brain...but im not sure betting out of boredom is a great idea financially.

The Plastic Whistle didn't manage to get a Cup shock, but at least Merlin managed to get me a winner. I did say didn't like the look of the games tonight and my gut feeling was correct.

Cheers Mate!

If the goal comes in 1st minute or the 90th minute I don't care, as long as I get a winner.
