Sports Betting
Turned a £20 into a few hundo and then into a monkey from 3-4 winners prior to Raikonen bet and then in the aftermath of that managed to have Chelsea +1 goal £300 @ 7/10 plus £85 on Suarez anytime goalscorer 6/5 followed by some correct score losers on 3-1 5-1 in the ManUtd v Villa match along with backing Claypoles horse and Redarmi's tip where I put a few quid on for him and put £25ew on for myself as well.
Then the winners rained in again with a rare Barry Neville winner on the Sky dogs with £101.64 (random amounts ftw) at 13/8 returned 4/5 an each way loser on the horses from a judge and then a really good result on the semi final between Dortmund and Real when I backed BTTS and either team to win at 7/2 each of 2 and returned a profit of £120 on £100 staked plus £66.81 on over 4.5 total match goals at 4/1 for a sweet night.
Lost on the darts with £150 going back to BillyHills on some correct score punts with Taylor missing one dart to land one which would have shown a good profit but had already scooped in the Over Cards Market with a certain Ref I follow and had tipped upto Shallow who rarely books in the first half but gets his cards out in the second half and waded in with £300 @ 21/20 over over 45 pts in the Basle v Chelsea match with no cards till 70 minutes and 6 in the last 20mins we were weighed in ( Maybe I should play the Spread markets?) then on Friday backed Queensbury Rules at Sandown at early morning odds and was rewarded before a Barry Neville loser which I would not have backed if Queensbury had not won
and then landed an Under 2.5 goals bet on Ross County in the evening (see below) plus backed Thousand Stars and Rebel Fitz in the betting without the fav market for a small win on the race which took us into last Saturday.
Saturday I really fancied West Brom but would have won a chunk if Southampton were winning or drawing at Half time with West Brom winning at Full time but fired a very good cover shot on West Brom just winning at 5.3 and an over 2.5 treble for £50 on Wigan,Newcastle and Southampton but I had texted Dubai 2 bets to put on for me which were Wigan to score Over 0.5 second half goals £165 @ 10/11 and Liverpool to score over 1.5 second half goals £85 @ 15/4 and these bolstered my Dubai roll quite nicely.
Just the one bet Sunday which was a stake returned having backed Man Utd DNB and 2 bets Monday with £220 on over 2.5 goals Villa v Sunderland and £90 on the over 6's in the IPL that someone put up in TFT to before what feels like my first loser in a few days when we backed Dortmund plus 4 corners vs Madrid last night for £240 but despite winning at 83mins the timing of the goal killed this as Dortmund then stopped attacking so it was Geeeeeeeeeg.
Tonight I am on Barcelona as there are not many times you can back them at a shade of odds on at home so will be massively funking for them to play well.
I have now decided with my sports betting that when I get to a certain figure I am giving a chunk to Petra and then small ball again trying to build up as for me it would feel too Normal (not that this is a bad thing) to not have the ability to have a bet and try to build up some ££ plus although the amounts mentioned in here may be extreme to some when you do get on a roll and confidence is running through the veins you tend to take a more agressive stance on stuff and my problem is if I have access to big big chunks of money then I'm more likely to chase but this avenue is no longer available to me so I small ball rather than go "cold Turkey" and give up completely and then press when ahead, plus it's not like I'm just rofling around picking random stuff to punt on a lot of time, thought and study goes into what I am going to back.
I have also taken the stance that in events where there is something I DONT want to happen I shall not be watching the event Eg If I back under cards/goals then there is nothing worse watching hoping there is nothing going to happen and I cannot change the result so why put myself through the pain and sweat when I can just check the result later.
There is nothing worse than backing 0-0 or for the pro's No Goalscorer in say the Sunderland vs Fulham match and after 10mins there are no goals and life is good, 20 mins in and Steven Fletcher is through one on one vs Schwarzer and life is still obv good, Steven Fletcher Scores oh FFS so not watching Sport is now a thing of the future for me!!!
