chala Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 Bad thread title I know, shows my level of imagination! I gonna have a go at laying football matches. There is no system behind it, just my selections. I will be concentrating mainly on the Premiership and the Championship, with the odd match from elsewhere, and the only real rule will be that I will not lay at a price above 4.00. There seem to be a lot of freak results in football, so this'll probably go tits up in a very short space of time. For now I will only be betting my selections for small stakes.:ok Starting bank of 100pts, each team in Bold will be the chosen lay, and all lays will be for 1pt unless otherwise stated. Anyway enough of the waffle and on with the selections.......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WorkingForTheEnemy Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 Re: Layer Cake Good luck. Ive considered this myself before(and sometimes do) because I find most of my losing football selections are due to draws rather than the other team winning.

cosmicway Posted September 24, 2005 Share Posted September 24, 2005 Re: Layer Cake Ive considered this myself before(and sometimes do) because I find most of my losing football selections are due to draws rather than the other team winning. Could this be psychological ? It's twice the agony if you worry about a goal being scored at either end ! Re. football can it be useful perhaps to buy a bad piece of software and lay all its predictions ? Seriously, this was being advertised from a site in Indonesia ! I think the early matches of the season/opening matches in international tournaments, are those where the punters fail more frequently. Also I think it is true all the championship winning teams earn more points in the second half of the season than the first. Do you agree on this one, because I have n't made a thorough check of it yet ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not sure if you understood me properly. I dont mean losing bets when I back a draw. I mean the team I back draws rather than losing.

Ive considered this myself before(and sometimes do) because I find most of my losing football selections are due to draws rather than the other team winning. Me to mate. I'm sure if I backed the draw when I fancied teams to win, I would end up well in profit at the end of the season. But it's difficult to go against your gut instinct.

cosmicway Posted September 24, 2005 Share Posted September 24, 2005 Re: Layer Cake Here are some good draws that I came up with (after deliberations with myself, forum discussions, a.s.o) and I did n't back: Liverpool v Ac Milan (c.l. final) Porto v Celtic (2 yrs ago, UEFA final) Zenit Petrograd v AEK Athens (last week) Olympiakos v AEK Athens (3/4 matches played last year) and more. It is psychological. If I ask the two of you to stand behind a corner and pick the first two fellows that turn up and ask them to box against one another, do you fancy a draw ? I think not because in all likelihood they will not be matching in weight. You tend to think the same for football matches and you are subconsciously looking for a winner, but it is n't always so. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- working for the enemy says: Im not sure if you understood me properly. I dont mean losing bets when I back a draw. I mean the team I back draws rather than losing. That will obviously happen. You do not select the weaker side, you select the strongest one on paper, so if they fail to win it's more often than not a draw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spreadman Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 Re: Layer Cake Hi again, Cheeryone........re: your question about pro punters in the lounge. My main source of income now is from betting, (I don't get to eat much :loon !), so I'm not sure if that makes me a 'pro'. I have been callled a few things in my time (!) but never a pro. Although, I have known one or two pro's in the past, but not the sort you mean. :eek You say you have never spoken to one.....you can speak to me, but I doubt that anything I have to say will make sense......:loon .

spreadman Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 Re: Layer Cake Chala, being a non voluntary, permanent resident of a maximum high security sanitorium gives me security and peace of mind, and as for being a wreck, matron's regular administration of anti depressants does the trick. :loon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
