I know Jez and Spud like a flutter on the footy, i myself like a flutter on footy and horseracing...... what about the rest of you?

I'm waiting on Man City and Celtic winning today for a nice little winfall



Post up your tips, bets, wins

Celtic lost 1-0 to Saints It's no wonder i fucking hate Celtic........ cant even rely on them beating shite like Saints On the other hand, at least they've dropped points

[spud]

so thats why Celtic got beat then I did wonder what a sickner how much did you miss out on wi that i had a couple of lines on nae wins this season yet sadly.

I do like to bet weekly. Only footie (Premier League, Championship, Champions League and Europa League) and ice-hockey (only finnish sm-liiga) for me. Been getting decent amount this year. Enough to be on the plus side this far. Just yesterday I snagged a whopping 6,7€ from my bet. The type of bets I do are the traditional (Im sorry I don't know the betting lingo in english really): "Pitkäveto" pick a winner or tie (or do a system where you can mark 1X or 12 or X2 on game(s) ) from 1 up to 6 games and then "Vakioveikkaus" which is my most successful type that has 12-13 games and is played like 12-13 game "Pitkäveto" (that ofcourse costs more the more marks you use for systems). Have partaken in Finnish Championship in this type of betting twice now and did okay-ish.

Vakioveikkaus is very popular and old game-type over here. I usually make a bet every Saturday cuz then is the EPL + Championship games. Before the EPL season, I do it on Sundays cuz then is our domestic league round + division.



Here are samples of the type of bets. First is the "normal" and the other one is "Pitkäveto" and second is "Vakioveikkaus". Might go for Vakio even tho League Cup games are always full of surprises... here's just two quickly thrown examples.

My picks for today:

Interesting League Cup round. Surprises are possible, but here's my ideas:




Very interesting 2nd legs in CL Play-Offs aswell. Here's my play-ideas:

[Jezter]

Good thing I didn't go for the League Cup games. Once again, soooo full of surprises! It is madness to try to get them right. With the kind of picks I had there, I would've gotten only 6 right.

The other bet I did take with 2€ and it was a mess too. 3 out of 5 right.

Ohwell...come Saturday and I will try again and Im going to also make the bet IRL.

Ffs Spud, use some punctuation now and again you lazy bastard Would have been about £150 if Celtic had won......

QPR cost me a Ton tonight

Yea man...those League Cup games are so so difficult. Don't know how motivated the big teams are where as the little teams tend to play over their real quality...

[Goofy]

Having a bet tonight Jussi? I'm tempted, big odds for a Celtic win tonight, 2/1! Their away record in Europe is probably the worst of any team thats ever played football but that has to change eventually Think i might do a £5 accumulator.......

[Goofy]

£5 pays £113.75

Rangers are gonna lose now

I got one crazybet going with 2€.

Din. Tbilisi - AEK 1
Young Boys - Braga 2
Helsingborg - St. Liege 1
Anderlecht - Bursaspor 1
Guimaraes - Atl. Madrid 2

Would pay me something like 73€ so I doubt.

£5 pays £113.75

These are pretty solid picks. Just don't know about Spurs' motivation... so clear after 1st leg, so they might want to rest players and take it easy. Draw or away win could happen. Then there's the Gers and Celtic games... But I believe you will catch this bet!

Rangers are gonna lose now

Aaaww! That is why I never bet on our boys!

[Goofy]

The tough one that sticks out from your bet is Bursaspor, i think they're a pretty decent team + Anderlecht have lost their top man (Lukaku) to Chelsea......... who knows though?

Spurs reserves could beat Hearts - also, Hearts are gonna be playing a lot of kids tonight......... plus Spurs will be trying to get up to full fitness after their first league game was called off so id expect them to field a strong side

[Jezter]

Seems like our bets didn't go right either! Your Gers still has a chance tho... 10+ left and a couple of goals needed. One atleast to get to ET. HJK - not a fucking chance @Schalke.

And yes, Lukaku came to my beloved Blues, but Anderlecht is still a decent team and they got some new, young strikers. Also, Bursa is missing a ton of regulars and the whole corruption scandal of Turskish footie...so Ander should have had a good chance to win. And still has 10+ mins left to win. 2 all now.
