Football Betting Mugs Game ?
Just before Christmas I had a few football bets, Man Utd to beat Rovers £42 @ 1/7 which would have been a mighty £6 return.A few days before that I lost £20 backing Liverpool to beat Rovers at Anfield, 1-1 was the score. I even had £100 on Celtic @ 1/5 to win at home to St Johnstone, somehow St Johnstone won 1-0 !!!
So at the beginning of 2012 I was £160 down on my bets. Since then I have had 15 consecutive wins on single bets. My losses are down to £81 and i'm on my way to beating the bookmakers. Keep in touch on this thread to see me get back into positive equity. Betting singles is the way to beat the Bookies. You might be surprised that I backed against my own team, but betting should have no sentiment, and you should only bet on things you know about. Lets have some feed back. I will post a team to win when I see one, this midweek I will leave alone. I do fancy Arsenal to beat Newcastle tonight. |

Betting singles is the way to lose. When I have the occasional bet I usually do a lucky 31 or a lucky 63, this way if only one of your teams wins at least you get something back.
Lucky 31 A lucky 31 consists of 31 bets involving 5 selections in different events, 5 singles, 10 doubles, 10 trebles and 5 four-folds and 1 five-fold. Any one winning selection guarantees a return. Lucky 63 A lucky 63 consists of 63 bets involving 6 selections in different events, 6 singles, 15 doubles, 20 trebles, 15 four-folds, 6 five-folds and 1 six-fold. Any one winning selection guarantees a return. |

Re: Football Betting Mugs Game ?
when i wrote betting single's i actually meant just backing one team and one team only. Im going to win my money back gradually, maybe a fiver at a time, there will of coarse be the occasional loss. I keep a record of all of my bets. I only bet amounts that i can afford too.

I dont bet big amounts just a couple of quid on prob 3 different accum's but its a bit of fun. This week I am betting on the gee gee's at Cheltenham, again not much money and I am backing em each way. :D |

On Friday i will let you all know who i am backing, and how much i am putting on. Most people who go into the bookies are not disciplined enough, or 'reach too far'. Bookies just love these type's and they are the one's who make them rich. Once i have a decent 'pot' of winnings i will put 10% of that onto my bet, and my winnings will grow gradually, as they are this year. |

To give you an example, years ago...I used to work with a lad who stuck large sums ( and I'm talking thousands ) on such bankers....Mainly the big teams.....Man U, Chelsea, Arsenal but he always lumped on Rangers & Celtic in a big way !!! Fair enough, his "bankers" won quite regularly, but when they came unstuck he ended up losing big time.... I never forgot one morning after a Rangers game....He'd staked £7k @ 1/7 on just to win £1k....Rangers were winning 1-0 up until injury time and then wallop....the opposition equalized !!!:eek: He had a face like a bulldog sucking on a wasp after that one !!!:o And talking of bankers....whilst watching Cheltenham this week, I heard in commentary that somebody on the racecourse had staked £130k on Hurricane Fly @ 8/13 to win the Champion Hurdle to win an extra £80k....I'll bet whoever placed that bet felt a bit of a "banker" after that race:rolleyes: |

Backing 1 match gives you a 1 in 3 chance of winning. backing 2 games is a 1 in 9 chance and so on. Went to bookies tonight to put my Man City bet on and came out with a profit before i left the shop. |
