I haven't bet in a while either, since my last post in this thread in fact. I don't know why, maybe I've finally managed to quell the greed inside me, which to me is a good thing :)

Your bets look pretty good to me, favourites playing away at pretty good odds. What I've always recommended though, is not putting all your eggs in one basket, because favourites have a fair chance of struggling for a draw. IMO you should split up your bets into 'pools', making combinations (doubles, trebles) using your selected matches. That way, even if only 3 of the teams win, you still cover your losses, and for every result that you guess correctly, your profit grows cumulatively :cool:

Actually, I was planning another bet of 1 € with a potential win of 6 €, to cover my loses, just in case:

Hamburg - Bayern Muchen - x2 @ 1.30
St. Etienne - Monaco - x2 @ 1.30
Rennes - PSG - x2 @ 1.30
Malatyaspor - Besiktas - x2 @ 1.25
Stuttgart - Mainz - 1 @ 1.45
Aberdeen - Glasgow - 2 @ 1.45


Total quota 5.5 * 1 € = 5.5 €

see, now you're just being stupid :) You can't cover your losses on a risky all-aways bet by making a 6 bet multiplier! :D

What I meant was, you should really make lower-risk small combinations e.g.

Bayern + Monaco
Bayern + PSG
Monaco + Besiktas
Bayern + Monaco + Besiktas

;)

I think I'll leave it like this, you cant win if you dont risk, and I know it's risky ;)


I remember one Saturday, I lost some 20 € on bets, and I got mad and went to the betting shop, found some good, but risky combinations, invested 1 € and won 40 €.

it's your money ;) and everyone has different strategies. I'm not saying that you're wrong and I'm right, just that this works for me :) In my betting days, my main priority was to:

1. Not go in the red
2. Make consistent profits
3. Not get greedy

Instead of trying to hit the jackpot every time (even though I did always make a small jackpot bet :D), I figured that it's probably much safer to win consistently :)

Good luck to you anyway bro :cool:

I'm still in the green, but not by much. Won some 150 €, invested some 135 I think :)


Anyways, my strategy was to bet some 11 € in total. 5 € on some semi risky bets, with a win of around 100 € (almost got a few of those, got fvcked by only one match), 1 € on some very risky bets with a potential win of 500 €, and another 5 € on the safest two matches I could find, just to cover my losses. I've never lost on the safe 2 match bet so far, thats why I'm in the green.

Aberdeen - Glasgov finished 0-0, but luckily the game had already started when I got to the bet shop, so I couldnt select that match :D

Time to bring this back up ;)


I havent bet for a while, some 4-5 months now. I dont bet the laste 2 or 3 rounds of national championships, the CL or EURO. They are all too unpredictable.


Anyways, I'm going to bet this weekend, this is what I'm planning:


Hamburg - Bayern Muchen - 2 @ 2.15
St. Etienne - Monaco - 2 @ 2.20
Rennes - PSG - 2 @ 2.40
Malatyaspor - Besiktas - 2 @ 2.00

Total quota 22,704 * 5 € = potential 113 €

:cool:
So far so good, bayern up 2-0 :cool:

Damn. Besiktas drew and PSG lost :frown:

Damn you gray, why did you have to be right :(
Bah, what'd I tell you Z. You have to face the facts that your betting is going to be pretty much a weekly thing, so the smart way is to make consistent winnings, even if they're not huge. The most important thing (believe it or not) is not losing your money, so you should make that your focus rather than the huge "I'm never gonna bet after this win" jackpot
