As the title says I love football, but unfornatley I've never had much success betting wise in the sports. Hopefully I'll be able to change that around with this Glory Hunt. It shall be almost Premiership selecitons only but they'll be the odd selection from other competitions. Selecitons are based on form and statistics as well as quite a bit of emphasis on previous match performance, I watch quite a lot of football which should be an advatage when it comes to betting. In terms of the odds I'm going to aim for selections around the even mark, but that's by no means a strict rule if I see anything at shorter of longer odds that I tihnk will be good value. But I do aim to have the average odds taken at around the even mark which means i'll need above a 50% strike rate to produce a profit Since I've done rather bad betting on football before I'm going to take it easy and go with £2 level stakes staking plan and take it from there. Selections for tommorrow's games will be up soon.

Re: I Love Football Liverpool v Everton - Under 2.5 goals @ 1.80 Final Score 1-0 +£1.60 Bolton v Fulham - Home Win @ 2.25 Final Score 0-0 -£2.00 Burnley v West Ham - West Ham AH (0) @ 2.04 Final Score 2-1 -£2.00 ------------------------------------------------- Profit/(Loss): (£2.40) Bets 3, Wins 1, Lost 2 Strike Rate: 33.33% ------------------------------------------------- Not a great start but feel I was somewhat unlucky in some of my picks, West Ham played well and probably deserved a point at the least whilst Bolton apparentley had a perfectly good goal ruled out. Not to worry only early days yet.

Re: I Love Football Arsenal should really have got a draw at least out of the Porto game but fell foul to two freak goals, suppose that's football sometimes though. Elsewhere my picks in the Wigan/Bolton game proved profitable which means I'm slightly up on the night. Wigan v Bolton - Result 0-0 Bolton (+0.25) @ 1.98 +£0.98 Under 2.5 goals @ 1.81 +£1.54 FC Porto v Arsenal - Result 2-1 Back Arsenal (0) @ 2.13 -£2.00 ------------------------------------------------- Profit/(Loss): +£1.57 Bets 19, Wins 11, Lost 9 Strike Rate: 57.89% Total Staked: £38.00 Total Returned: £39.57 Yield: +4.13%
