    Good luck with this Charlie big time ;)

    I am trying my hand at more sports betting this season, so I will add my selections/results to this thread if ok. Only doing 4/5/6 or 7 fold for small stakes.

    I also hate waiting on results of games when other ones have already won, so all mine will be 3 o'clock sat KO's.

    Sat 15th August. - All home wins for......

    Boro v Bolton
    Forest v Rotherham
    Scunthorpe v Crewe
    Cheltenham v Southport
    Grimbsy v Bromley
    Celtic v ICT

    Pays just over 12/1.

    I'm off on my holibobs in the early hours, so I won't be betting the next 2 sats. Good luck to the rest of you, stay away from that cashout button flash!

    Absolute ditto. I've got a £5 free bet from the Premiership promotion so will pop that on an accumulator for tomorrow's games methinks. Thought about putting it on a single home-banker match just to get the few quid for free - but then I thought surely i'm just better off essentially buying a lottery ticket since there's no risk in it for me.

    I found I've got a free £5 bet, so I've stuck that on a "request a bet". I wanted Liverpool to win by 2 goals or more and Benteke to score but they haven't added it. (Only to win by exactly 2 + Benteke @11/4). So instead I've gone for Liverpool to win, with Benteke scoring and Skrtel to get a card. Only issue with this, is if Liverpool are all over them then Skrtel might not be challenged much. Anyway 5/1 and as it's a free bet I'm not adding it to my expenditure :P

    Request a bet seem to be really really tight... i went round all sites to try and get odds on Bradley Dack to be top league 1 scorer, was mainly getting quoted 90-150/1 (managed 200 with our irish friend) went sky got back to me they offered 40/1..

    I reckon Skrtel to get a card will be 5/2 on its own with some firms

    Seems hard this week to find a game I'm confident on but here goes... Middlesbrough v Bolton - 8/15 Celtic vs Inverness CT - 1/5 (Terrible odds, but I'm struggling this week) Liverpool vs Bournemouth - 4/9 Treble - £25 - Potential return - £66.44
    Posted by FlashFlush
    Yeah I agree that bet probably wasn't the best Jordan rregarding the request a bet, you know what it's like when you have a free bet in your account burning a hole in your pocket though ;). Proved us both right with Skrtel letting me down by not being a dirty fouler.

    Nice to get my first win of the season and prove I'm not a complete clown. Still a way to go but onwards and upwards.

    £25 stake with £66.44 returned - Weekly profit - £41.44

    Overall - -£53.23

    Didn't realise we had a load of football league fixtures tonight, so I've gone through and picked out a treble. If I have time tonight I might pick 1 or 2 more.

    MK Dons v Bolton 17/20 - Bolton haven't scored a goal yet this season!
    Coventry v Crewe 4/7 - Coventry will be in many of my accas this year if their start is anything to go by. Very impressive.
    Hartlepool v Newport - 5/4 - Most risky of the 3, but with 2 clean sheets in their first 3 games, things are looking up for Hartlepool.

    £20 treble - Potential return - £130.82

    While typing this I'm currently CL in the main with 32 left and also mid table in the mini, so watch this space!

    Well done Maxy. I did see you'd made the final table as I was interested to see if anyone was on for a jackpot bonus. Good work as I saw you went in as the shortest stack! You heading to DTD this weekend?

    Well done on the main event win Flash, you have to be really good to win the turbo :)

    As for these football bets, you, Splashies and Maxally are making it look easy.

    I might have to have a go myself at the weekend.

    So starting balance for this week is +£57.59

    I think there seem to be a few more home bankers this week than mid-week so I've got 2 separate trebles. One returns £99 the other is £122, so I'll be doubling my money if one comes in.

    Treble - £21.75 returns £122.62

    Middlesbrough v Bristol City - 4/7 - Boro are my tip to win the Championship this year, so a home tie vs a team that's only got 1 point from 3 seems a no brainer.

    QPR v Rotherham - 3/4 - QPR showed good strength in character on Wednesday coming back from 2-0 down against a very good Wolves side to win 3-2.

    Hearts v Partick Thistle - 21/20 - Not sure why the odds are so long on this one. Maybe I'm missing something? Hearts with a 100% record even after playing some of the better teams in the league. Home vs a team that haven't won all season. OK they've drawn 3 and only lost to Celtic.

    ----------------

    Treble - £28 - Returns - £99.51

    Wycombe v Daggers - 4/7 - Wycombe looking good, still have a 100% record, Daggers rock bottom with 0 points. No brainer, surely?

    Portsmouth v Morecombe - 8/13 - Hearing a lot of good whispers about Pompey. According to their early opponents they're the best team they've ever seen in League 2 and should walk it this year. Home vs a team that's only scored 1 goal so far in all competitions.

    Sheffield Utd v Blackpool - 2/5 - The blades are starting to look good after their disaster of a first week. Blackpool look terrible and at risk of falling down into the dark depths of the football league in the not so distant future.

    Been away losing money in Nottingham so haven't up dated. But both trebles were losses at the weekend :(

    Mid-Week League Cup. - Always dodgy betting on the cup so I'm just going to do 1 bet and a smaller amount.

    Villa vs Notts County
    Palace vs Shrewsbury
    QPR vs Carlisle
    Swansea vs York
    Wolves vs Barnet

    All home wins - £15 of my own money + £5 free bet.

    +£7.84 is my starting balance prior to this bet.

    Come off it, granted it won't be a first team but the mighty Potters have quality in depth and Bojan is back tonight.
