Over Under Challenge

[youngtag]

I had one disastrous attempt at this some time ago so I wouldn't be confident advising anyone viewing this for anything more than light entertainment for the first while.

I will be keeping it simple and only be backing over/under 2.5 goals market as I've had some success in the past.

I will be backing all of the selections but maybe not for the same stakes.

Mainly using Betfair.

My first bet will be on the unders in BlackBurn/Wolves game. Will wait on prices before deciding on stakes.

Nice one YT, always good to see a new sort of idea.

Good luck. :thumbs

So, here goes for my maiden voyage:

Blackburn/Wolves - so many reasons why this should be unders (or a draw for that matter) that I won't bother getting into it.

£100 at 1.75 on BF.

Potential profit (net commission) £71.25.

I'll be having a ton on this myself.

[youngtag]

Not the best of starts - Blackburn had only scored 1 goal in the Premiership before Saturday. Still, it wasn't a rash bet so I'm quite confident that if I maintain my discipline I will be able to turn a profit.

Will post bet for the weekend nearer the time.

[youngtag]

Blackburn only scored 1 goal before Saturday. That's the way the cookie crumbles.

Will post next bet nearer the weekend.

Good to get the first winner today.

Bank now €965

- €35

[youngtag]

Under 2.5 in the Birmingham/Bolton game. Expect birmingham to win 1-0 but don't expect many goals in this grizzly affair. 8/13 generally available.

Bet €100.

Potential profit €61.50

[youngtag]

Bank now €865.

Bit of a stinger - 1 goal after 84 minutes but that's the luck of the draw.

Next bet is €86 @ 4/7 over 2.5 Arsenal/Olympiakos.

Potential profit €50

[youngtag]

Bank now €815.

God knows how many chances were missed.

Next bet is a racing certainty. Ireland/Italy under 2.5 8/15.

Max €150 bet. Potential profit €75.

The tide would want to turn sharpish or it's back to back hall of shame for me and the mythical poor house!

Bank now €665.

Will see if any internationals take my fancy but will probably wait until the Premiership gets underway again.

[youngtag]

€65 over 2.5 Liverpool/Sunderland 4/5.

Potential profit €52.

Need to start getting back on the winning trail!

[youngtag]

Another one bites the dust. The absence of Torres and Gerrard didn't help my cause but Liverpool were dire.

Looks like an even 20 years before a title based on that performance.

[youngtag]

Bank now €600.

Breaking from convention here and going with Spurs to beat Everton at home. Everton are decimated with injury and had a tough game on Sunday. Moyes isn't happy and Spurs should be winning this.

4/6 seems more than reasonable and I'm going to have a €100 on.

[youngtag]

A winner, forgotten what that was like!

Bank €666. Long way to go. I'm going to aim to get it up to €2,000 and call it quits if I can manage that.

[youngtag]

€100 @ 4/7 over 2.5 in the City/Burnley game. Potential profit €57

[youngtag]

New bank €724

[John]

Nice winner, youngtag, keep it going. Burnley seemed to dominate and surprised Man City.

Don't stop when you get to 2K!

[youngtag]

Ha - thanks John, your blind optimism is inspiring!

[youngtag]

€100 at 1.58 on BF for unders in Ireland game. Potential profit €55

[youngtag]

New bank €779.

Next bet is €100 on under 2.5 goals in Bolton/BBurn game tomorrow. 1.98 on BF looks very generous to me.

Potential profit €93

[youngtag]

Almost on a run now, long may it continue, new bank is €873

Bit of a Xmas break. Managed to turn a very useful profit at Leopardstown which was nice. Hope all the readers here had a good one too.

€100 on over 2.5 in Arsenal/Everton game. Traditionally a game with a few goals. Potential profit, €79.

[youngtag]

Head marginally above water now. €1012 new balance.
