Simply.Young's Football Log.

Hello everyone! I have recently started to take an interest in betting; however, I am only fifteen. I decided to log my bets to see how I fare. Of course, I won't actually be betting with money - it's just for fun. I'm going to be betting on football as I'd like to think I know my stuff. I'll bet on any league or competition. I'll try and post my reasoning for each bet, but I'm going back to school (Junior Cert :zzz) on Tuesday so I may not always have the time. I'll start with a bank of 100 Points and I'll see where I can go from there. I'd appreciate any feedback on my bets, as I'm still young and new to gambling. I'll post up my first bet when I see something I fancy. See you around.

Sweden vs. San Marino. I was going to wait until after the internationals to place my first bet, but I'm going to start with something small to get the ball rolling. Sweden vs. San Marino. Sweden to keep a clean sheet @1.44. (William Hill) The odds of 1.44 aren't great, but I feel they are too generous in this case. San Marino, the whipping boys of Europe, travel to Stockholm to take on Sweden in a Euro 2012 Qualifier. Sweden are developing into a good team under Erik Hamren and have won their last five matches, scoring eleven goals and conceding just two. Meanwhile, San Marino have conceded twenty-seven goals in their last five games while scoring none. San Marino have failed to score in their last seventeen away competitive matches, and I don't see that changing today. Andreas Isaksson, Sweden's first-choice goalkeeper will not play on Tuesday, but Johan Wiland shouldn't have too many problems should he get the nod ahead of Daniel Orlund. With the likes of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Johan Elmander, and Marcus Berg in attack, Sweden should run out comfortable winners in this game. 1 Point - Sweden to keep a clean sheet @1.44. (William Hill)
