The Single Life

Re: The Single Life Saturday - CELTIC have won 20 of the past 23 meetings between them and MOTHERWELL at Parkhead , 18 of which have been win-to-nil . CELTIC were unfortunate [again] not to pick up a point in the Champions League in mid-week when they played host to Barcelona . Down to 10 men after 56 mins they a couple of decent chance's before Fabregas scored the winner in the 76th min . They still have INVERNESS to chase in the SPL and a win over 3rd placed MOTHERWELL will create a 6pt gap between them . MOTHERWELL are having a good run so far this season with 4 wins and 1 draw from 8 games but those 3 of those wins were all against teams currently in the bottom half of the table . The other win was against 5th placed Hibs on opening day just after that side had lost 9-0 on aggregate in the Europa Qualifiers to Malmo. Providing Celtic react positively to the Barcelona result they have a great chance of winning this and the 1.44 on offer from Ladbrokes and Hills seems generous enough. Stake 21pts @ 1.44

Re: The Single Life The CELTIC match should be over by the time the next bet kicks-off so the stake is dependent on that result . PANIONIOS take on ARIS in the Greek Super League and they have won 5 of the past 6 meetings [other was a draw] PANIONIOS have a record this season of 1-3-2 [1-1-1 at home] Of the 3 home games the defeat against top of the table OLYMPIAKOS was hardly unexpected but a draw against 8th placed side PANTHRAKIKOS and a win v 3rd placed PANATHINAIKOS was very respectable indeed . They have also drawn away to 5th placed ERGOTELIS while their sole away loss was v 2nd placed PAOK. ARIS [18th and bottom of the league] have not won in 3 away games , scoring only once , indeed ARIS have yet to win all 6 league games this season . Dependant on the CELTIC result either the total returns or 15pts on PANIONIOS will be staked

Re: The Single Life

Now that the holidays are over and the regular season's have begun i'll stick to those league's and straight-forward home wins only with odds between 1.33 and 1.80 .
I posted the at the start of the main Euro leagues but unfortunately after a very good run i started to believe i was getting really good at this betting lark and ignored the rules .....PANIONIOS today drifted from 2.30 to 2.45 but STILL i went for the win !!! Getting any form of information about the 'lesser' league's is a problem but the bookies , generally speaking , are privy to such info and so it proved to be costly with 30.24pts lost ..:( Therefore a note to myself ....STICK TO THE RULES YA PLANK !!!!!! I will update all totals after tomorrows games , next week is International week-end ...:sadso let's try and end on a high before the break . At 10.30 on Sunday morning SPARTAK MOSCOW take on TEREK [yes i know it's Russia but let's dip the toes in and see how it goes] and they have won 5 of the last 6 corresponding meetings since 2005. SPARTAK are 3rd in the table with a home record of 3-1-0 with 2 of those wins coming against teams in 4th and 5th. TEREK are in 15th spot having lost all 5 aways so far , scoring only twice . Stake 15pts on SPARTAK MOSCOW @ 1.50 [ betfair sportsbook]

Re: The Single Life 1.33 is available now from BetVictor but they are the only ones above 1.30 [apart from Betfair] so a bet on ANDERLECHT to beat KORTRIJK for the 7 time in 7 start's is dependant on weather those odds are still on offer after the final whistle in the SPARTAK match. If they are then ANDERLECHT hold a favourites chance as they are 4-0-1 at home , scoring 18 and conceding 6. Theyr suffered a 3-0 home defeat in the CL to Olympiakos mid-week but if the stats are anything to go by they appear to have been unfortunate , 1-0 down they missed a penalty to square things up , they had 7 shots on target [Olympiakos had 5] and 11 off target [Greeks had 3] and 8 corners to the Greeks 1 , it would appear to have been one of those nights !! ANDERLECHT sit in 4th place and really need 3pts here to keep within touching distance of CLUB BRUGGE and STANDARD. KORTRIJK are sitting in a respectable 7th place in the league , but that's mostly down to home form [3-1-1] as they are only 1-0-3 away from home and that sole win was against 9th placed CHARLEROI. This game kicks-of at 13.30 so there should be plenty of time to see if 1.33 is available from any bookie/exchange.

Re: The Single Life This one may be the 1st , 2nd or 3rd bet depending on the result's of the above so here goes .. SPURS take on WEST HAM whom they have lost only to in 16 top-flight games , 11-4-1 and won 5 of the last 6 conceding only once and scoring 11. SPURS sit in 4th spot in the Premier League and are 2-1-0 at home while the HAMMER'S languish in 18th having gathered only 5pts from a possible 18 and whilst drawing 2 of their 3 aways they have failed to score in all 3 [they only managed 11 goals in 19 aways last season] Andy Carroll remains out injured. SPURS have lost only one game since the start of the season in all competitive match's , 9-1-1 , losing to ARSENAL[2nd] away and drawing with CHELSEA[6th] at home in the EPL. Odds stand at 1.44 , let's hope they stay that way.

Re: The Single Life Woke up after my lie down and perused today's action ..just in case...and there is a game that we can have an interest in over in Argentina. VELEZ v OLIMPO has fell to the away side in 5 from 6 corresponding fixture's with OLIMPO only managing to score once[backi in 2004] while VELEZ have netted 12 times. VELEZ are 2-2-0 at home , win's against top of the league NEWELLS and 5th placed RAFAELA and draws v the 3rd and 11th in the league [VELEZ are in 12th] They have only let in one goal in those 4 games. OLIMPO would appear to be trouble as they sit in 2nd bottom place in the league with an away record of 0-0-5 scored 3 conceded 12. Granted, all the 5 teams that beat they were in the top half of the table, but as VELEZ are just under that line , coupled with h2h and their strong home form i can't see OLIMPO taking anything form this . Here's a preview of the game another website - Velez Sarsfield vs Olimpo Olimpo haven't shown us anything yet to suggest they can avoid defeat away from home TEAM NEWS Sebastian Dominguez returned from injury for Velez on Monday away to Gimnasia, and his red card just before half time proved key; in the second half, Gimnasia overturned a 1-0 deficit to win 2-1. Better news is that Lucas Romero was also back in the side for that game, and unlike Dominguez, he managed not to get himself suspended. Olimpo left it late to salvage a 1-1 draw against Estudiantes last weekend thanks to an 90th-minute equaliser from former Estudiantes man Matias Sarulyte. They don't have any suspensions here, but defender Nestor Moiraghi is almost certain to miss out here after picking up a hamstring injury. Velez Suspended: Sebastian Dominguez (sent off in last match) Doubtful: None Injured/unavailable: None Olimpo Suspended: None Doubtful: None Injured/unavailable: Agustin Vuletich (right ankle); Nestor Moiraghi (left hamstring) MATCH PREVIEW Velez's inconsistency continued again last week, as they took an early lead but later went down to ten men and ended up losing 2-1 to Gimnasia in La Plata. They weren't quite as bad as Gimnasia boss Pedro Troglio made out (he claimed their goal was the only chance they had), but it's undeniable that Velez are far more dangerous in Liniers than they are on the road. That's going to be a problem for Olimpo, because the Bahia Blanca side are capable of grinding out draws at home, but can't buy a point in away games. They've scored just three times and conceded twelve in the process of losing their five away games so far. Statistically, their last two games (one home, one away), have looked more or less similar in terms of possession and shots on/off target, but Olimpo lack confidence in away games. It's hard to see that changing here. Until now, betting on Olimpo to lose away from home has always been safe, and until they manage to do anything else, it seems sensible to keep doing so. HEAD TO HEAD Velez have been dominant against Olimpo recently; in recent seasons they've won five of these sides' six meetings, with Olimpo claiming the other. In their history, these sides have met fourteen times in total in the Primera, with Velez claiming eight wins to Olimpo's four, and two draws. Back to 10pts after last weekend's debacle on VELEZ @ 1.60 from Wm Hills

Re: The Single Life Totals so far - Starting Bank 100pts Current Bank 192.48 [not inc 10pts on VELEZ] Selections 60 Wins 42 Stake returned 2 Unfortunately i decided to increase the stake to 15pts at exactly the wrong time and , even worse , failed to go back to a 10pt stake quickly enough.

Re: The Single Life VELEZ 1-2 :@ Saturday see's the return of the Euro League's . Belgium - Jupiler League - Where GENK have beaten LIERSE in no fewer than 11 of the past corresponding meetings. The home side have started the season strongly [4th in the table] with 4 wins from 5 at home , the sole defeat coming against leaders STANDARD . LIERSE on the other hand sit in 10th spot , mainly thanks to their home form where they have taken 10 of their 11 league points . Away from home they are 0-1-4 , losing to 3 of the top 5 and i'll surprised if that change's tomorrow. Stake 10pts on GENK @ 1.33 [bet365]

Re: The Single Life GENK 4-0 :) Returned 13.30pts Not a league i would normally have a look at but METALLIST KHARKIV v ODESSA in the Ukraine has been won by the home side in 6 of the last 6 corresponding meetings. ODESSA have only managed 2 goals in those 6 . METALIST have a remarkable home record since their last home defeat to champions SHAKHTAR just over a year ago , winning 19 of 21 competitive league and European games . This season METALIST are 6-0-0 at home with a goal record of 16-3. ODESSA are a reasonable 3-1-2 away from home but on closer inspection those 2 of those wins were against side's currently sitting in 15th and 16th [of 16 ] in the league table and the draw was v the 14th placed side. Stake 13.30 on METALIST @ 1.33

Re: The Single Life Friday ------ Portugal - BRAGA have beaten ACADEMICA 9 times from 10 corresponding fixtures. After 7 games played BRAGA sit in 5th place in the league with a home record of 2-0-1 , the loss coming to 2nd placed SPORTING . They sit 10 place's above ACADEMICA [15th from 16] who have managed just 1 pt from 3 aways this season , losing to 4th and 7th while drawing with the 6th placed side. Stake 10pts on BRAGA @ 1.44 Also on Friday FEHNERBACHE take on Gaziantepspor in a fixture that has seen the home side win 13 and drawn 2 of the past 15 corresponding meetings. FEHNERBACHE don't have any European worries and go into this game sitting in top spot in the league while G'tepspor are in 14th . FEHNER are 3-0-1 at home , drawing with 3rd placed TRABZONSPOR despite having th majority of play and no fewer than 20 goal attempts[ 7 on target] compared to TRAB's 5 attempt's [1 on target] G'TEPSPOR are 1-0-3 away from home this season , winning against the 17th [2nd bottom side] Stake 10pts on FEHNERBACHE @ 1.40 [Wm Hill]

Re: The Single Life BRAGA 0-1 FEHNERBACHE 3-1 Tbh i originally thought the 2 games kicked-off within an hour of each other dhampoet , sort of sums up how the thread has been going really !!..:unsure Today the 14pts returned is gooing straight onto CHELSEA to beat WEST BROM , a fixture that has seen the Blues win 7 from 7 and conceded only once in those 7 match's. 14pts on GHELSEA @ 1.30

Re: The Single Life Once more into the breach...MAN U are 6-1-0 at home to EVERTON in 7 season's MAN U look tempting at home to an EVERTON team who are playing well under Martinez but are they as good away from home as they are at Goodison ? Wins against WEST HAM and VILLA coupled with 2 draws v PALACE and CARDIFF are good but all are in the bottom half of the league ..they also lost away to MAN CITY [but then who doesn't] There may be a chance that RVP may play a bit part here but with ROONEY on fire over the past few weeks i think David Moyes will manage to put one over his old club .

Re: The Single Life Slight change of tack as i've been looking at Draw-no-bet using the usual h2h trends , bringing in team's who have a record of NOT LOSING against their opponents rather than the outright win. For example the first selection is over in Ecuador where LDU QUITO take on BARCELONA SC in a fixture which has a record for the home side of 22-9-0 in all comps since 2002 . Whilst BARCELONA[4th] are above LDU[7th] in the league it's thanks to their home form 7-1-1 as opposed to 1-3-5 that has put them where they are. LDU are a respectable 4-4-1 at home . D-N-B odds are a best 1.57 with HILLS Starting with a bank of 100pts i'll have 10pts @ 1.57
