Re: It's a long way to a £100k Odds seems a little slim for a 0-0 here, given Rubin are 3-1 behind from the first leg and need to score two or more goals to have any chance of progression. Chelsea will probably set-up a little defensively but they've still got an abundance of attacking talent and an away goal for them here would be big help as well. Even if the game does turn into a dull 0-0 until late in the game, there's surely got to be the incentive there from Rubin to throw caution to the wind and attack which should lead to a more open finish to the game if it does indeed begin a cagey game. I like opposing the 0-0 in games like these. 34.) Rubin Kazan v Chelsea - LAY 0-0 @ 10.5 Liability: £36.86, Potential Profit: £3.69

Re: It's a long way to a £100k Man City won the derby 2-1 with a hat-trick never looking likely. Barnsley got a point against Cardiff in a 1-1 draw. Lisowski went onto win his match comfortably, finishing a 10-4 victor. The Barcelona/PSG game was an interesting one tonight the 1-0 lay looked in slight danger I thought with it staying 0-0 for longer than expected. But PSG scoring made the bet a winner and in the some regards the may feel themselves unlucky to get knocked out. Nearly back up to my previous 'bank high point' but still just under five quid away, hopefully a couple more bets and I should be there. Results 30.) Man United v Man City - LAY Hat-trick scored?

Re: It's a long way to a £100k Picked out this other one.

Re: It's a long way to a £100k Nicely set-up after the first leg this one. Expect an attacking game therefore making 1-0 Barcelona unlikely. PSG have to win or get a high-scoring draw to qualify. Therefore there seems little sense in them sitting back if they do go 1-0 down, only real worry is if it stays 0-0 for a long time. 32.)

Re: It's a long way to a £100k Perhaps slightly risky given the striking talents of both teams. But conversely you could say both teams have good defenses as well. Not entirely convinced both Van Persie and Rooney will start for United, plus City tend to switch and change their strikers aroundand very rarely does Mancini not substitute strikers during games. 30.)

Back on track tonight although truth be told I may have got a little lucky, Basel were excellent against Tottenham I thought. Them going 2-0 up and looking the best side had me thinking my bet was doomed but Spurs did at least show some resilience to come back to make it 2-2. Although if this game is anything to go by they'll find it difficult to qualify having to win in Switzerland.

Re: It's a long way to a £100k

Nice going denman keep it up!

I tried Smithy I tried, but the winning run has to come to an end. There's nothing quite as sobering as a losing bet I find. Although in your mind you know they are inevitably going to be losers along the way it still sometimes leaves you wondering how they hell did that happen. Something of an irony in the fact I did mention about first legs games of knockout rounds being "tight affairs" previous although I thought that was taken far too much into account in the Malaga/Dortmund game which unfortunately went on to finish 0-0. With this loser I've also decided a change from my intial staking plan that is to say I'll not be raising to a 33% of bank stake, for that seems rather ludicrously and haphazardly high instead I shall use 25% as the trying to get back to my previous high points stake a 20% stake shall now be the stake level should I get back to the original high point or if I should drop below 50% of this said high point. Not all bad news Real Madrid won 3-0 without seemingly playing anywhere near their best. It is a true measure of one's discipline after a loser, best to keep faith in your ability and carry on as normal. If you have an edge over the long-term you'll turn a profit the losers are nothing my inconsequential parts of the process. Results 20.) Malaga v Dortmund - LAY 0-0 @ 12 -£37.95 21.)

Re: It's a long way to a £100k I didn't actually watch this game (I was watching the PSG/Barcelona) but the indications seems I may have got slightly lucky with this one. Although I shall watch the highlights of the game later and make my own judgements on that. The good thing about betting on such short odds is the big margin of error you have, you can read a game completely wrong yet still your bet could be a winner. Incidentally I had eyed a 0-0 lay in the Middlesbrough/Peterborough game tonight but the price didn't look favourable to me so I decide against it, good job I did as well because rather surprisingly it ended 0-0. 19.)

Re: It's a long way to a £100k

well done so far mate

Thank you , going well it is. I did think QPR were somewhat unfornate to come away pointless from last night's game after a rousing second half performance, although the first half defensive lapses proved to be rather costly.

"Sounds about right to me. Here's a screenshot of the bet. Finished 2-1 to Derby in the end in what turned out to be a surprisingly attacking second half". I know, but it was just a reminder to post that info in the first place and save the bother of the screenshot later.

Sorry about that. I shall try and remember to post the present time of the match on any future in-play bets. One bet for tonight, think Bayern have been slightly over-estimated in this one. Juventus are for sure a decent side and although given Bayern's attacking talent this scoreline isn't out of the question I don't see a heavy defeat for Juventus here as a likely outcome, first leg games of a knockout round also have the greater tendency to be tight affairs with fewer goals than your usual league or group game. 19.)

Re: It's a long way to a £100k Couple bets from the Championship games here. Firstly Blackpool are struggling at present and with their pitch being a bit of a state I don't fancy too many goals in this game nor do I see Blackpool winning so easily. Secondly something of a key relegation game for Bristol City and Sheffield Wednesday, Bristol City are seven point adrift of safety at present and surely have to win this one if they've got any hopes of survival. Despite goals drying up recently Bristol City have been involved in some high-scoring games this season and I think a 0-0 looks unlikely given the situation. 15.)

Re: It's a long way to a £100k Two more winners today, that makes it fourteen-in-a-row. Within a minute of placing the Ajax bet they opened the scoring, and went onto win comfortably 4-1. The Aston Villa/Liverpool game was an entertaining watch still stand by my statement that Liverpool were priced up too short in that match despite them winning. Villa really could have got something from that game, a rather silly tackle that led to the penalty cost them the game in then end. All that matters for me is that it didn't finish 0-1 though.

[One bet to £20,000 challenge]

Re: One bet to £20,000 challenge You must be getting pretty excited by this point. Fingers crossed for the Benfica game on Thursday. :hope I thought Newcastle were rather poor against Man City yesterday, they do have quite a lot of players out injured at the moment although I don't know how many of their missing players are likely to be back in time for the game on Thursday. Whilst you put Benfica's odds at 5.5 on here it's worth noting that are currently 4/1 with most bookmakers and trading at 5.2/5.3 on Betfair which I personally think is a more realistically price on their chances.
