Defender Anytime Goalscorer Strategy

[mtom]

I've had the following idea for some time: Betting on a defender throughout the season on being anytime goalscorer. For the system you will need 380u bank (for every game in PL) and bet 10u per game. Odds vary, but are usually between 10 and 13 depending on the game, but for easier calculation I'll take 10 as constant odd. Let's say I choose Vermaelen as anytime gs, just last season in PL he had 6 goals (6 x 10u @ odd 10 = 600u) for 29 games (29 x 10 u = 290u), which would have resulted in 310u profit! The rule in this strategy is to bet on only one defender for the whole season (meaning that if he is injured or suspended you don't bet at all) and the down side is that the chosen defender might get seriously injured for example. I would be happy to hear your opinions, recommendations and/or concerns. P.S. Math is NOT my strong side, so if, for some reason, I have made a mistake in my calculations, please be nice and don't rub it in my nose, I will be embarrassed enough :lol:lol:lol

Re: Defender Anytime Goalscorer Strategy Good luck with this. I often bet defenders to score but usually on the goal minutes on spread bets. The most annoying factor is when they don't start, come on as sub and then score. Annoying. You'll be lucky to find a defender who scores 6 goals in a season though. It obviously happens but you'd have to be very lucky for it to happen to the guy who's carrying your money. John Terry scored six in the Prem last season (I think), which sounds promising until you consider that he's been a regular for 12 years and his goal tally in that time is 28 and at that rate, he wouldn't break even at 10/1. Good luck though
