You fishing today - I presume...:yikes:.....


Yes! I was away fishing today and it was really crap, I should have stayed at home.

[Merlin]

Didnt get anything biting then , mate.......:yikes:…….Never mind, bet the whisky was good…..:laugh

Well, Swansea let me down….were 1-0 up and looking good….had a player sent of midway second half…which ended the story as Doncaster scored 2 after that….

I seem to pick an awful lot of games that end up with 10 men…:laugh

Liverpool are AWESOME………hope they win the league…and stick it up man u and Chelski….

SATURDAY NIGHT BET
…………………………..

I was going to bet Sao Paulo but have been out…and missed the kick-off…

Its Major League Soccer

New York Red Bulls v Chicago Fire

I fancy the home team….so its 6 Points at 1.95 with Centrebet….

However, 2 side bets @ reverse result half-time full time……The odds for this seem high..and it does happen…not often…but it doesn’t need to happen too much to make a profit….

So its…

New York Red Bulls / Chicago Fire @ 40/1
Chicago Fire / New York Red Bulls @ 28/1
½ Point on each

All in all a 7 POINT BET…

Good luck if you play…

[Merlin]

NEW YORK WON 1-0
..............................

SUNDAY BETS
.....................
Arsenal got to be the Sunday banker – I am tempted to go for better odds and take them half-time full-time…but sometimes they are notoriously slow starters……and it may not come off….so will just stick a point on that…with the rest on a straight win…

Arsenal V Portsmouth
HOME @ 1.56
8 POINTS

ARSENAL HALF TIME & FULL TIME @ 2.56
1 POINT
…………………………………………………………………………

The other 2 Premiership games could be candidates for the reverse half time full time….so will play 0.25 of a point on each result…1 Point staked…

Blackburn/M City @ 44.00
Man City/Blackburn @ 32.00

A Villa/Chelsea @ 30.00
Chelsea/A Villa @ 65.00

……………………………..

10 Points staked in total…

Hey merl

swansea dont seem as reliable without trundle huh :headbange

Yeah - his golas were important.......dont like the manager either....they should have picked someone else...there were others after the job..who may have done better....

[Merlin]

Well done to the Gunners....:laugh...

Just quickly before I go out…in case I dont get back in time….Will be betting NAUTICO later…their home….probably go to the game…

NAUTICO V INTERNATIONAL…kick 0ff 10.10pm UK time
HOME WIN @ 2.75

3 Points

[Merlin]

Friggin hell...just got in to see that Náutico are down to 10 men ...AGAIN...for the whole (almost) of the 2nd half........and losing 0-1......

[Merlin]

Nautico ended 1-1...

They had 10 men for almost na hour........and went 0-1 down….

I didn’t go to the game…but my daughter did…and she just came back and said they played very well today….best for a while….trying very hard….running, running..running…discipline is a problem…but perhaps they may make a great escape from the drop zone…:yikes:

Hi Merlin

Here is my thoughts on your picks...:yikes:


Drogheda Utd v's UCD .... The Home win is a definate Monty Bet....:D Can't see anything other than a drogheda win. I had forgot about this game, so thank's M for the reminder....:thumbs

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Blackpool v's Hull.... I've got this match down as a score draw....:rolleyes: but you know how much I like home wins, so I'll probably go with you on this one.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Motherwell v's Hearts ... This is a very tricky match to pick. Motherwell signed a couple of decent players just before the transfer deadline, while Hearts are a nice price, but they have too many players missing....:yikes: so it's a No-Bet for me...:ermmm

[Merlin]

Monty Bet....woo hoo....

M...one of the the reasosn I have gone for Hearts away….is that Motherwell , according to the stats I found…have not won a head-to-head….its 5 to Hearts and 1 draw….

Besides this….you of course have noticed that they are in a 1 Point teble….so its not as if I am staking a relative high stake on them…

[monty]

:rolleyes: M ...I noticed that they were part of a treble, of course i did, didn't, did, didn't .....ok I didn't... :blac4

visions of the things to be

:dung ...Your stats much the same as my own recently. I just can't get a run going at the moment. But we'll take it on the chin :punch1 and come back fighting... :punch2

[Skittle]

Will be surprised if we don't see a mention for your lot tonight. At 1.75 ish, it could be worth a shout, but I'll wait for words from the main man in that area.

Well Skittle

I can tell you that I'm going to be on Ayr Utd tonight as Forfar have a player out injured and another two first team regulars suspended after a double sending off at the weekend, while Ayr welcome back their main stiker Andy Mclaren. Don't get me wrong Forfar Athletic could play well but I like the price Ayr are tonight. If this bet comes in I'll be happy because I'm starting to hate September just as much as I hate UCD. On the other hand if this one is a loser I'm taking 3-4 days off....:D


I'm taking Ayr Utd to win 1.75 @ Sportingbet

[Merlin]

Yep - its a struggle ...M...

May bet Sata Cruz at home tonight to Fortaleza....the odds are a bit skinny at 4/7...but the half-time full time..is 7/4....may take that...

Cheers Mate... :waver

I really needed that winner tonight, my September bank had taken a few bad hits in the last couple of days. It was all my own fault because I had placed a couple of silly bets on other sports and they all ended up losing.

[Merlin]

Gonna have a combo bet on the following..earliest kick-off is 12.30 UK time…(This is in addition to my main bet on Santa Cruz)

Brasiliense v Santo Andre
HOME @ 1.36

Marilia SP v Criciuma
HOME @ 1.75

Ponte Preta v CRB
HOME @ 1.45

Ituano SP v Gama DF
DRAW @ 3.20

Sao Caetano v Coritiba
DRAW @ 3.50

Santa Cruz PE v Fortaleza
HOME @ 1.55

15 x quarter point 4 timers
1 x quarter point acca

4 Points Staked

[Merlin]

So far – so good…:yikes:…makes a change…got 4 in out of combo (1 let me down)..and 1 to go...

1.75
1.45
3.20
3.50

And Santa Cruz to go…who are winning 1-0 at half time…if they hold on it will be a very good night…with the main single bet copping….and 5 x quarter point 4 timers

[Merlin]

Turned out a brilliant night….with 5 out of 6 in the combo bet and the main single hitting the net, too…

29.05 Points for the quarter point combo

+ 16.50 for the single

Minus the 10 point stake = 35.55 Profit tonight….puts me right back in the game….

[Merlin]

WEDNESDAY NIGHT BRAZIL SERIE A
...............................................

Corinthians v America
América are the whipping boys of Serie A...and Corinthians are 1.25 for the win...too low for me.....bit the half-time full-time is 1.73 with Paddy Power…which is a damn sight better than the 1.57 with Badbrookes….

Santos v Internacional
Santos are a fair 1.80 with Stan James….but for treble purposes with the above….Paddy Power are 1.73 for the home win….

Juventude v Cruzeiro
Cruzeiro to win away…a general 2.20 is available…

My Bet is a Straight Treble
……………..
Corinthians v America
Half-time full time Corinthians @ 1.73

Santos v Internacional
HOME WIN @ 1.73

Juventude v Cruzeiro
AWAY @ 2.20

Bet with Paddy Power
1 x 3 Point Treble

The treble pays 6.50 ish

[monty]

I've taken you up on the Santos and Cruzeiro matches, I've placed 2 singles and a double.

So good luck mate...:thumbs I need it....:splapme

[Merlin]

Good Luck..M....to us...

Here is the league standings: http://www.soccerway.com/national/brazil/serie-a/

You may have already seen it…but Cruzeiro need to win some games to have any chance of catching Sao Paulo…Santos wont be winning the league….but they should beat Internacional

[Merlin]

But don't worry about it mate, I never go daft with my through the night :snooze bets, as they are usually always for small stakes. I must say the last few weeks my bets have been poor, but I've had times like that before, and I'm sure I'll get back on track soon....:D

I've been looking at tonights fixtures all day, and I can't see anything worth taking, esspecially the way my luck is going. All the Brazilian matches look like a draw to me, as does the Non League game. So I've decided to do a Skittle and take the night off.

FINN HARPS MAX BET

Galway United FC v Drogheda

Northampton Town v Doncaster Rovers

Finn Harps
Droheda

Santa Cruz
.....................

TOTAL STAKED = 11 POINTS

[monty]

I had picked out Finn Harps as one of my Monty Bets, but the price is crap, so my next Monty bet is going to be Limerick this week.
Hopefully their home form will pick up again as it has been at bit up and down at the moment, but I would expect them to win this one.

Limerick v's Monaghan Home Win @ 8/11 (1.72) W-Hill

[Merlin]

OK..mate...nearly went for Limerick myself....but will be on it now anyway, as its a Monty Monster.......

Yeah..the price is low on Finn…but on the face of , it should be a 36% easy turnover profit….:yikes:

[Merlin]

MAX wins 6-0…….

1 point acca down…but profit on the day….I do fancy Santa Cruz tonight…BUT…NO BET….as I want to preserve the days profit….

I cant see any point in having a max bet in the afternoon – collecting and then throwing it away on something I am not 100% sure of…..

[MattR]

Monty you don't happen to know what the draw price on betfair was (or bookie will do) for Derry v St Pats and Longford v Sligo tonight do you? I was going to do them on betfair but the site crashed before I got around to it but I want to keep a note of the price for my records.

[Merlin]

Derry City 11 - 10
Draw 11 - 5
St Patrick's Athletic 21 - 10


Longford Town 11 - 8
Draw 21 - 10
Sligo Rovers 17 - 10



The above odds were from Paddy Power

[MattR]

Thanks Merlin :)

[Merlin]

A LITTLE TIP FOR GETTING THE ODDS AFTER THE MATCH....

Search for the game using Google….

For instance:

Derry v Sligo

On the results page look for the game….click on cache – bingo…

However, you wont get this for all games and all searches , because it does depend on a number of other things…which are not wort goimg into…but it will work most of the time….

Well Guys, as you know? my head is seemingly up my ass :butthead: at the moment, and believe me, it's kind of dark in there..:laugh So I'm unable to see what your bets are today, but good luck with them anyway......:D

[MaxySerb]

Hi guys! I'm back! :happyboun

I had to learn as hell past several days... And now it's over... :wink

This is your pick for today:

Serbia - Finland
Home win at 1.50

Price is not some, but...Nikola Zigic (Valencia) is back for this game so I think it won't be so hard for us to score this time...
Nemanja Vidic is suspended, but he played like ballerina against Belgium so it's not a big blow. I think he is not giving enough to representation since he become so well known in MU.

Serbia simply have to win this one, now EC2008 is in stake. It's very simply, if we win tonight we only have to have a draw with Portugal for getting trough the group. If we don't win today - we are out.

[Merlin]

Ooh.....Agree , think and hope Serbia will win too.....good luck, Maxy.....may have a dabble...

Good job Merlin, especially for Leeds! :thumbs

Wow, I must say that we (Serbia) are bad as hell. We had such a good start in this qualifications...But now...one lose game and one draw in a row...my God...at least Portugal didn't win either... :laugh

But we are so bad...we simply can't score a goal...Because Portugal played draw, we still have a small chance...only thing we have to do is to win in Lisbon against them on Wednesday. Piece of cake... :lickme

They (Portugal) will kick our sorry butts so hard on Wed that we will wish we were never got into this qualifications...
With that H. Clemente (::swear) on bench we are never going to win, he is a coward...We all was terribly disappointed when we saw 4-5-1 formation against team like Finland on our home ground when we are in desperate need of a victory. And he is not even calling our second best striker Mateja Kezman (Fenerbahche) in squad...;fire

[Skittle]

Another day off.

[Merlin]

Your becoming very part-time....S :laugh

Almost half-time and Nautico are winning 2-1...went 1-0 down inside a minute...:yikes:

Didnt go to the game...but listening to commemtary - anyway...when theres a goal I know immediately from the crowd..which I can hear very clearly from my pad...

Its on the telly...but the deal is the teams on telly...are not shown in the state of the home team...

Hope they can hold on will make the day profitable....

Just don't believe in forcing myself to do a bet for the sake of it. I only like to win money, it's much more enjoyable that way.

Oi, Merlin, I thought Mug was the Conference expert. Are you stealing his thunder ? Bit worried about the Halifax game as Woking seem to be the draw experts here. I'm a bit worried today as there is too much choice going on with the cricket and rugby opportunities

Good call on the Cork game. I couldn't be convinced myself. Don't like to be too greedy.

[Mug OUFC]

Nah merlin is probably better at the conference from brazil than i am from my seat in the kassam stadium :yikes:

I dont like it when he predicts oxford defeats though cos the bugger is usually right ;fire:laugh

Been predicting the defeats and glories of the Yellows for almost a year now…S…..:yikes:…

The Gravelmen are Essex boys
Will play with Yellows just like toys
Caged and all the Kassam blowers
Be all at sea like Oxford rowers.

Predicted score is under 3
An unders bet for you and me

At 2/1 its in the bin….

The other game: Cricuima v Ipatinga looks a draw..price is OK @ 3.60 for a draw…but I am gonna give it a miss……no point in having a wining strategy in the afternoon …and risking the small profit gained on crap….:laugh

Yes! we can win in Paris, but probably not at football maybe Curling or Snooker, it's about all we're good at...lol :laugh

I still find it hard to believe the position that Scotland are in just now, it would be good if we managed to get any sort of result against France. It's still possible that we can get through to the finals, which would be fantastic especially when you look at the teams in our group. World Cup finalists France & Italy and Ukraine got to the quarter final. When the draw was made I honestly didn't expect very much and I would say the team has played excellent to get to where they are just now.

[monty]

These are the teams that I'm thinking about betting today...(singles).
The prices below are from W-Hills, but I'm sure I'll get better odds once I look around.

Czech R 1.61

Slovakia 1.66

[Skittle]

Not convinced about either of those three. I can't really find anything on the footy to tickle my fancy tonight. It's the damn cricket 20/20 taking over my betting. You've got to be watching the game and bet 'in play', but it seems so easy.

[monty]

Your probably right Skittle, the prices in the Internationals don't look very good, but I'll stick with the homes I've picked. I'm not putting much on anyway, these bets are just on for more of an interest tonight.

Kick-off 12.30 UK time

Cheers Mate... I might as well have a shot at it as well. I've just read on G.G that gooner played 1900 units on his International bets...:yikes: I must be doing something wrong, my single bets only go to 10 units/points and my Acca bets are always just 0.25-3pts My Doubles can go from 1-5pts and from 1-10pts are always for Singles only, and any bets from 5pts to 10pts are only placed on singles.

1900 units :splapme

I don't bet heavy maybe thats what's wrong

[Merlin]

1900 units :splapme

I don't bet heavy maybe thats what's wrong

No...dont mean anything mate....

A unit could be absolutely anything….could be one Euro…I dollar…50 cents…..anything…

Whats important is not the unit amount…but the scale you use when staking the units…

Foe instance , my bets are inbetween 1 and 10 units(sometimes less than a point for multiples or long shots)..

1 one of my units could be worth 40 units of Gooner..or someone else…..have I made sense…:laugh

[monty]

I've got it now, but I'm sure he said on G.G once before that he usually bets around 100euro on each game? and tonight he bet 1900units, That makes me look and feel like a pure amateur...lol

Best of Luck to him , he got a hell of a lot of profit anyway whatever his stakes were.

Not to worry I'm happy the way I bet, as long as I keep in profit over the season....:D

[Merlin]

The return was good over the number of bets/games (9)....the return was 45%

It’s the same as having 10 Points on a 1.45 shot…which puts it in perspective...

[monty]

Merlin did you happen to see the Scotland goal? it was a cracker from about 30 yards. I still can't believe they won and I didn't have a bet on them. I usually place a few quid on them but I honestly thought they had no chance against France.

Hi Merlin

I been talking to quite a few people this morning about last nights Scotland game, and it seems like everyone I spoke to said they had lumped on France to win. It must have been a great result for the bookies, if the Scottish people were betting on the home win, I can only imagine that a very high percentage of betting people would be on France also?

[Merlin]

Was a great win..M…..the more I think about it now…I should have covered the draw Scotland…coz I did France | Scotland….but that’s life……

Hopefully, back on track today….

Oops Sorry Mate ...:splapme

I've went against you tonight. I've went for the Draw in the Bohs game, and also a draw in the Derby match. 2 Singles and a Double. :Bolt:

[Merlin]

Good Luck, M....

Draws are real possibility......but that Shamrock price is big..and they are well capable.....

Derby...well.......Newcastle have a reputation being bad travellers...and lets hope they are not bad, bad diabolical travelers :laugh....but I do fancy Derby to get something......hence cover on the draw....but they may get hammered....again...:laugh

[monty]

I only went for the draw because my Irish sheet has it down as one, but as you said said Shamrock Rovers are a big price tonight, and they know how to score goals, so you could be onto a winner.

Good Luck Mate!

I remember in the play-off final against West Brom…I backed them….everyman and his dog were on Brom…

[Mug OUFC]

Yeah..but why? :D

[Merlin]

We are in the zone for September…incredible month so far….:yikes:

Stats
.........
September + 86.18 Points :laugh:laugh:laugh
(*16)

August - 9.48 Points :yikes:
(*24)

[monty]

Stats
.........
September + 86.18 Points :laugh:laugh:laugh
(*16)




And to think you were trying to get 100 points over the whole season...:laugh

Merlin mate, what's the (*16)

[Merlin]

Well , that’s what I set out to do…get 100 Points come May….hopefully I can retain the momentum..and get more…but I will have losing months, of course…

The * is just a personal reminder for me….the figure after the *star is what I consider I have lost on making bad bets for that month….

The idea is to see it decrease as the season unfolds…

[monty]

Eh! :yikes: you've made 86.18pts profit this month? and also had what you consider 16 bad bets. Have I got that right M? you've had 16 bad bets this month or is it 16 points lost doing bad bets?

[Merlin]

16 Points :laugh lost what I consider were bad...after the event of course...

[monty]

That's not so bad then, I thought you had 16 bad bets...lol

A big price for Swansea? that bet should pay well if they all come in..:D

Good Luck Mate

Merlin my good man. I am opening a blue square account as they are putting up big prices for the conference games. They have a £25 bet match offer for new accounts..but apparently it has to be a win single (although it does say "Multiple bets count as one bet." :geek ).

Could you suggest one of your selections as your most confident that i could put in that single?

One would be terrifically grateful, dont you know :happyboun

[Mug OUFC]

Any thoughts on the Celtic tonight monty?

[monty]

Any thoughts on the Celtic tonight monty?


I didn't even bother to look at that game because Celtic have a dreadful away record 1 draw 12 defeats. But you never know it could be worth a bet on the Asian Handicap +0.5 Price 1.90 This give you Celtic and the Draw?

I'm more interested to know why Morton are 1.60 tonight in the Challenge Cup against East Stirling. Morton are in the 1st Division and East Stirling are in the 3rd Division. Morton have been poor lately but I would have thought their squad being full time they should be good enough to beat the part timers of East Stirling.

[Mug OUFC]

Yeah i was looking at betting shaktar bearing in mind celtics home/away record. Evens looks a big price?

You know far more about the teams than me, and 1.6 does sound big if there is 2 divisons difference, but as a supporter of a full time team in a league which still contains part time teams, I can tell you it doesnt necessarily follow that the full timers will win, especially away from home :ermmm

That's true.... but I think East Stirling might struggle against Morton tonight. Morton will take a hell of a big support to this game and I think they will win. I'm waiting on team sheets and info before placing any bets.

:yikes:....Stevenage.......got to be...Stevenage

Did I say Stevenage..?

[Skittle]

East Stirling are resurgent this season, but the gulf should be too large. We await the team news before pressing ahead.

Did someone say stevenage? :lickme

I feel that Saturdays are my biggest test of discipline. Sundays are coming close as well. The week ends are when I have less free time available, so I have to be concentrated.


Tonight is seriously testing my discipline

- Nearly a full programme in the conference so Im on three teams there and a single
- Merlin has put up some nice selections here and is on a roll, would like to follow him (although 2 selections are in my conference bet and i dont trust his swansea bets :D )
- Gooners stats sheets are putting up some decent historical profits too and i would like to follow those bets...and i will prob watch a champs league game if im in so would be nice to have money on for interest

Thats a lot of bets and eggs in baskets for a tuesday night...:yikes:

[Skittle]

I feel the same tonight, tread carefully.

[Mug OUFC]

Ive left gooners bets alone

I held my discipline admirably, and I'm miffed. Everything I looked at and thought about went in. Limited things to Milan, Stevenage and a lay of Porto, so I'll have to be happy with some winnings.
