Crouch Potato Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 This one relates to betting on the clean sheets in football games. Sometimes we take the virgin approach, and hope for no scoring, no action, no fun and keeping the sheets clean. Other times we'll want to get dirty and see lots of scoring and balls flying into the never regions. I do love a lame pun... I'll be staking real money on most of these but for the time being records will be kept here on a paper trial basis. Starting bank of 1000pts and 1% of bank on each selection.

Crouch Potato Posted April 18, 2007 Author Share Posted April 18, 2007 Re: Virgins and Sluts Cheers guys. I suspect nearing the end of season things could be a bit more eratic, hence the general paper trail. Playing both sides though should hopefully enable me to find something to this given some selectivity. It has also come to my attention that I didn't make a 'keeping it tight' joke about the Virgins. Shame on me :loon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crouch Potato Posted April 18, 2007 Author Share Posted April 18, 2007 Re: Virgins and Sluts Another one for tonight, really just a pussy bet looking to get off the mark, but given we're taking the Sluts route maybe a pussy bet is the way to go! Bet 2: 10pts West Ham - NO Clean Sheet @ 1.15 Centrebet And after that lame opening joke, I'll get my coat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crouch Potato Posted April 20, 2007 Author Share Posted April 20, 2007 Re: Virgins and Sluts Arsenal v Tottenham - Considering No Arsenal Clean Sheet In the last; 10 Meetings at White Hart Lane, Spurs have scored 13 Games Spurs have played at White Hart Lane, Spurs have scored Spurs have a deserved reputation of being a goals team atm and this is typified by their recent 3-3 draw with Wigan. However the odds of 1.3 or so is a little short and this is a derby so things can go strangely, although form H2H at WHL is pretty solid. Slightly worrying also is that both Man Utd and Liverpool have kept Spurs scoreless at WHL this season. Might have to wait for team news.

Crouch Potato Posted April 21, 2007 Author Share Posted April 21, 2007 Re: Virgins and Sluts 1/2, With Charlton letting me down. I do wonder in hindsight whether I should have taken it given the circumstances of the match. We'll move on and hope for a better return in France. --------------------------------------- Marseille v Troyes In the last: 3 games, Troyes have not scored a goal 2 games, Marseille have kept a clean sheet 16 away league games, Troyes have scored just 8 goals Bet 6: 10.14pts Marseille Clean Sheet - YES @ 2.00 Centrebet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think when choosing them I'm going to have be a bit tighter in my criteria. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can definitely see some potential for this, but some sort of criterion is going to be needed to maximize profitability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barrhead73 Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Re: Virgins and Sluts How about a "Salvation Army" Saver bet e.g. Over 3.0 goals @ 4.40 ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crouch Potato Posted April 25, 2007 Author Share Posted April 25, 2007 Re: Virgins and Sluts How about a "Salvation Army" Saver bet e.g. Over 3.0 goals @ 4.40 ? The concept is ok but I wouldn't have used that bet if I were to. Correct Score 1-1 for this game would be the ideal saver. I've used savers before and I sort of see them as a way to reduce any potential profits and increase losses, but that might just be, like so many things in the past, a matter of selectivity. That being said, I will consider some sort of protection (read: "condoms" :tongue2) from time to time as a matter of safeguarding things don't go massively wrong.

Crouch Potato Posted April 27, 2007 Author Share Posted April 27, 2007 Re: Virgins and Sluts Looking to get this system into a bit of profit tonight. We'll look to Chelsea to keep a clean sheet against a Bolton side that is missing up to 6 first teamers. Carvalho probably wont play which isn't the best of news but Stamford is a fortress and I'm hoping Bolton will lack punch tonight. 10.08pts Chelsea Clean Sheet? - YES! @ 1.92 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
