alexcaruso808 Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 (edited) I've decided to start my own one goal challenge. All bets are with Bet365. I won't be placing a bet every day as I sometimes don't have time due to work commitments. 1st bet - Chelsea vs Burnley £5.00 @ 1.05 EDIT: I have now changed to Smarkets. All winning bet totals will include any comission that Smarkets have charged me. I'm also just going to use this thread to track all my bets.

After seeing the success of @harry_rag, @glennhughes, yourself and others, I was inspired to give it a go myself. harry_rag 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harry_rag Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 Good luck with the thread mate tho not sure my approach is the slowest or the surest! Just recording all my posted bets for the year and seeing how it ends. I have tried to adjust the quantity to quality ratio in favour of the latter of late to be fair. alexcaruso808 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was tipped by the RP at 4/1. They took the view that Portugal’s main motivation would be to avoid defeat ahead of their final game at home to Serbia. Unlucky mate. alexcaruso808 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harry_rag Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 They’re not bad, worth a read if you want an informed take on a game. I don’t know whether they show a profit overall. Kevin Pullein is profitable as per the long running thread in systems and strategies but he’s very much quality over quantity (pretty much one tip per week with International weeks off). alexcaruso808 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Harry. I have been following your bets in the Kevin Pullein thread. I think quality over quantity is a better way to go - that or a low odds steady pace kind of bets. harry_rag 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This challenge is hard enough one bet at a time you have no chance with trebles especially at low odds of 1.06. Have you thought of using an exchange? Odds are a lot better. alexcaruso808 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The chances of over 0.5 goals in each of those games were quite low, so I thought that I would stick them in an acca. There's always one that lets you down, eh!? ?
