Betting on Football Thread 11/12

Had a quick look for the old thread but it must be a good few pages back.

Have already placed some bets for the new season.

**Banker of the season**
Arsenal to finish in the Top 4 @ 8/11 (Skybet)....Madness, crazy! Have to wait for the cash but will be a welcome boost to my betting account next May.

West Brom to get Relegated @ Evens (Ladbrokes)
Same crap, different year for West Brom. They'll outplay loads of sides but get feck all points for their pretty triangles. Blackpool bottom and West Brom to go aswell.

A few top scorer bets aswell. Each Way in this market is 1/4 of the odds, placed 1,2,3 or 4.

Tevez e/w top scorer @ 14/1 (Betfred)....4th top scorer last year. City should be top 4 this year and he'll be their main man.
Defoe e/w top scorer @ 18/1 (Paddy Power)....flat-track bully should notch at least 15 PL goals, might be up there.
Lampard e/w top scorer @ 33/1 (Totesport)....Lampard was 5th top scorer last year and has been top 10 a few times. Penalty taker and ultra-consistent. Worth a go I feel.

Not one for long term bets but jumping on this, easy money imo as I expect us comfortably to finish in the top 3, never mind top 4.

Tempted to go big on this.

8/11? I'll get on that.

A year is far too long to wait for the winnings, especially if you're going to allocate a large amount.

For those who bet online, what website do y'all use? I want to get in on the betting action and would like to know the best bookie.

Sky Bet and/or Paddy Power.

I like Betfair personally.

888sport, Bwin, going to jump on Betfair soon, though I think Pinnacle and Bet365 offer the best odds.

I only use paddy power. What's betfair like?

Definitely best for value. Can be a little confusing for beginners though

Bill hill

gonna put some money on man city to win the prem

i use paddy power. i have an account with bet365 too - solely for watching serie a games.

arsenal to finish in the top 4 is 8/15 with paddy but i don't think i'm bothered setting up a sky bet account. think i'll leave it.

£5 on Chelsea, United and Wigan to win this weekend gives me a little over £13 if it comes off.

Woah, some of those are tempting. Think I'll stick a few hundred on Kalou at 3/10.

COME ON!!!!!!

I love Darren Bent, easy money every season.

Kicking myself for not putting money on Wigan going down. 2/1 was a huge price. That'll be long gone.

woops

Looked like easy money yesterday, should have known better.

Tomorrow I'm putting £150 no Rooney to score at any time.

Bit late now but Skybet had 8/1 for Rooney, Drogba and Chamakh to all score this weekend.

I always stick with Darren Bent, always racks up the goals like a madman before christmas.

Tomorrow I'm putting £150 no Rooney to score at any time.

What are the odds?

COME ON!!!!!!

So, how much profit/loss did you make overall?

Down a tenner. Bet £50, recouped £40.

Ronney will do me proud tomorrow.

Rooney hasn't scored since March, not sure if he's even fit at the moment.

Drogba had a broken arm.

These shall be my bets for today, just some opening day random madness mostly but I expect to double my money on the scoring in both halves bet.

Chamakh Hattrick 33/1. £3

2-3 Arsenal and 1-3 Arsenal 28/1. £6

8/1 Arsenal to win both halves. £10

10/3 Arsenal to score in both halves. £50

Chamakh first scorer 7/1. £10

Nasri first scorer 10/1. £5

Arshavin first scorer 7/1. £5

Walcott first scorer 11/1. £5

Veramealen first scorer e/w 25/1. £4

Kos first scorer e/w 33/1. £4

Verm first score/ 1-3 scoreline 325/1. £1

Verm first score/ 2-3 scoreline 325/1. £1

Same for Kos 400/1. £2

Lot of mutually exclusive bets there. Just hope eboue doesn't get the opener eh
