I'll keep a little betting diary here:

    Intro, was does Push(in betting terms) mean?
    It's usually the term used in bets which involve a spread (NBA etc) or asian handicap where the result of that bet (after the spread/handicap) is neutral. Your stake is returned so no win or loss. The bets I mainly play that could result like that are asian handicaps in football. But I also count any void bets (postponements of football matches or retirements of tennis players) as that total.

    i try to avoid them also, but sometimes a game just feels like a draw. juve vs. milan is perhaps the best example.

    That has no chance! :faq1: Well done with last night though...it was an unusually easy night. Although brave calls on Celtic and Lille.

    Draws are not 'sexy' to bet on despite their price. I suppose it's just the thought of a match finishing like that is not something spectators do when they choose to watch the sport. Saying that your bet starts as a winner when the whistle blows...so any event during the game ruins it.

    Lazio - Roma is always a draw for me. Elsewise I don't like playing draws simply for the loss of fun in watching the game, a goal is always negative.

    I assume you are a Barcelona fan who is refusing to see the team lose and you just think that Liverpool might get at least a point in France. I know the coupon is risky but I just had won another last night so why not. You should have wished me luck instead of saying That has no chance :p

    The Celtic and Lille odds were the most tempting actually, I just felt they will bring me money the same way I am feeling Mourinho will do.

    You know better than to think of me as a Barca fan. :D Chelsea should easily manage at least a draw tonight. Liverpool I don't expect too much from tonight. And you are right to spend your winnings as you choose...and I appreciate your braveness in posting them before they take place tonight.

    But I'd rather just put that money on either Roma or Chelsea if you believe in them - more chance of not losing that €10.00. But I can hardly speak with yet another tennis loss today. Maybe your method of big win combos which cover your investment after some time and pure enjoyment you gain is much better than mine.

    Good luck and to make you feel better I have some maths for you:
    - Yesterday with your 5-fold there were 243 permutations. You achieved the only correct one. :eyebrows:
    - Tonight with your 4-fold there are only 81 permutations - so theoretically you have a better chance.

    Good luck. :pint:
