Tips for Tikay

[Snowball]

I have a question for the more experienced contributors on football betting.

Would you always wait until friday or saturday to place a bet on weekend football to get more knowledge about team news, conditions etc?

Perhaps I could give an example, a couple of days ago I posted 3 possible bets for this weekend. Dag and Red were 11/4 and I liked that price. It's dropped now to 11/5.

I've had some at 11/4 but I know Bobby made a comment about one of the other bets, wanting seeing squad/team news for the Sheff Utd v Port Vale game before betting. (Port Vale have also dropped from 9/2 to 4/1).

I guess its a balance between the price and how much value that is perceived to be on say, 4 days before the game (with limited information) and what the price may change to (with clearer information) say 1 day before?

Naive to back football to early??

It depends.  There is definitely a lot of early alue if you are willing to do the work early but generally I come up with a shortlist the day before and place anything I think will move then and leave the rest until gameday.  That way you generally know injury news etc.  If something really sticks out and I have good reason to think it will not last I will bet early but all the big syndicates are restricted to betting on gameday so that tends to be when the big moves come.  By way of example the only bet I have actually placed so far is on Motherwell @ 9/4 to beat Aberdeen because I know Aberdeen have a lot of injury problems so I wouldn't expect it to last.

9 Players out, same as Tuesday yet ICT were 3/1 in the morning.

Here's a suggestion for tomorrows football.

FA Cup Oldham V Doncaster under 2.5 goals @ 5/6 Ladbrokes

Reasoning - watched the league game between these 2 side last saturday at the Keepmoat. Very few chances in that game. As a Doncaster season ticket holder and also knowing that both Iain Hume and David Cotterill are both suspended for the game, along with Martin Woods out injured. After Woods went off creativity went downhill, and with no like for like player to replace him Doncaster with have to play a defensive game, but the biggest misses will be Hume (who chases everything), and Cotterill who has been either scorer or creater of 7 out of the last 8 goals scored.

Recommend £30 @ 5/6

No opinion on the bet, but the price is a good one.

Get on now if you are going to have the bet, the 5/6 will disappear.

Yup!

Crushing the tourney, too.

PS - 8-3 in the Rugby after 20 minutes. We may need a fog abandonment.

In Hector we trust.

Anthony Gardner in the comp, too.

[Simon Galloway]

Might need fog abandonment in the darts too, Burnett not finding the doubles yet, 2-3 at break.

[Bazzaboy]

Sigh at Burnett's finishing.

[Simon Galloway]

That 150-out hurt

If Burnett is an ex world champion then there is hope for me yet.

[Snowball]

I fear Lewis might not get to see that Kid if he bumps into Burnett on the way out.
