Football bet 17th October

I want to back Over 2.5 Goals in the Portsmouth v Tottenham match, but the current price of 1.9 is not quite good enough. This season I’m not going to back any over/unders bets at less than evens.

So here’s the plan. I will submit an order before kick off at odds of 2.10 and set it to keep in play. As long as there are no goals during the first few minutes, my bet will be matched at favourable odds.

As usual I will be using Betfair.

Lay Bets 11th October

Good profitable day last time, fingers crossed for more of the same today…

LAY
3.00 Curragh - Rayeni
3.10 Goodwood - We Have A Dream

Lay Bets 8th October

Well after what has been a very quiet period, I’m almost relieved to find a few possible bets today at Kempton. I’m almost tempted to add The Snail to the list in the 3.00 at Wincanton. The clue’s in the name you see……

LAY
6.00 Kempton - Illuminative
7.00 Kempton - Kit Rock
7.30 Kempton - Farncombe

Lay Bet 2nd October

Today I will lay Bothy in the 5.25 at Newmarket, but only if there are no non runners and the price stays low.

Why we should have spread bet today!

I wrote an article on spread betting some time ago explaining how it could be much more profitable than fixed odds and today’s bet on the Sunderland v Wolves game is a perfect example of what I was talking about.

If you’d bet £100 on my Over 2.5 goals bet today, you’d have won £100. If you had bought goals at 2.5 today, you would have sold at 7 after the game. Betting £100 a point, this would have made you a profit of £450 - more than four times as much profit.

Horse Racing Lay Bets 27th September

I’m back now from a relaxing week in Sardinia and ready to get back to work. Hope you all had a good week. I have two lays today in Ireland which I feel may go off too short.

LAY
3.30 Clonmel - Fosters Cross
3.55 Curragh - St Nicholas Abbey

I will also go Over 2.5 Goals in the Sunderland v Wolves game today at 2.06 on Betfair

Today’s Lay Bet, Updates and Holiday

We had a winner and a loser yesterday. With the losing lay being odds on, it left us with a small profit on the day.

I’ve decided to take a week or so off and catch some last minute sunshine, therefore next update and bets will probably be Saturday 26th.

For today I think it may be worth laying Captain Flasheart  in the 1.40 at Yarmouth. Has a chance, but the price looks a bit too short.

Have a good week.

Horse Racing Lay Bets 15th September

A couple for today which seem a bit too short.

LAY:
2.40 Yarmouth - Togiak
2.50 Lingfield - Qelaan

Horse Racing Lay Bets 13th September

Successful lay yesterday, also good to get off to a winning start with the first football bet of the season, all wrapped up before half time. I have a couple of potential lays today…

LAY:
2.55 Listowel - Fosters Cross
3.00 Bath - Galeota

Usual price criteria apply. I will be using Betfair.

I’d rather not have a bowl of COCO TIPS

I received an interesting e-mail from a reader yesterday regarding a service called COCOTIPS. If you’ve received any promo for this and were considering joining, you may be interested in what Brian B had to say about it:

“Tried a ‘new system’ out called COCOTIPS, well after reading the sales pitch and a free week I joined on 30th Aug, well today the bank was burst!!, in those 12 days he has has a run of 13 without hitting a winner and another finishing today of 12…..Big letter of apology and ‘please stick wuth us’ just put at least another 500 in your account blah blah blah,,,,,,,well you know the answer to that!!…anyway just be warned that his sales site and facts are wrong and its a costly lesson”

I’d like to thank Brian on behalf of everybody who reads this for sharing his experience and potentially helping some of you dodge this particular bullet. If anybody else has any experience of any service to share - good or bad - that you feel may benefit other people, please contact me.
