Hi I would like to place a few pre-footy season bets, anyone know any sites giving away £30 if you sign up or any other good introductory offers?

Incidentally I am making around £100 a week at the moment laying favourites on Betfair which is a wonderful wonderful thing, sadly I have turned into some sort of hermit gambler..

Oh.

I want to make money on betfair! So far, after about 3 months of gambling on it, I'm about £50 up. Most of my profit comes from backing the top few favourites on golf. I'm down on the horses. I rarely lay though, always backing. Maybe that's why I'm losing.

Anyone have any tips on tonights football at all?
Thinking of putting on :

I've put a tenner on Newcastle and a tenner on Liverpool.
I put 2 quid on Donny last night, but then layed it off after the first goal

What a game that was.
I doubt you'll get much for that, they're probably all the faves. Still, I'm gona put the same bet on later probably.

Wigan aren't faves, they're at about 2/1 I think.

I'd back Liverpool to win to nil. Can't see Sunderland having any chance of scoring.
Sampdoria should beat Hertha Berlin in the UEFA cup.

You will get about 14/1

I never touch Carling Cup games, even with teams like Man U and Liverpool involved it's still too hit and miss in regards to the strength of team they field and how seriously they take it.
Will Hill pays 13/1 on that four team bet your laying on.
If your really insistent of puting it on, i'd swap Bolton for Wigan and put on a bigger stake

You can get Sampdoria even money at home to Hertha Berlin. Thats like finding money in the street, what bank pays 100% interest for having your money for 90 minutes
Carling Cup im leaving well alone tonight. I'd fancy Wigan at home to an Owenless N'Castle. (they clearly struggled against Everton without him) but then youngsters will be playing and it will all go belly.
Tonight i've just got a tenner single on Sampdoria (again, like Stylin it seems like a banker to me with too high odds)
Tomorrow i've got a £10 double on Marseille & Roma

Nice, at least it's not just me to blame if it all goes horribly wrong

It should be fine though, they have Volpi back from injury in midfield and Flachi / Bazzani strike partnership is electric.

Hehe
Roma are away to Crvena Zvezda which you'd have to expect them to win.
Not much of a great price for that so either going to double up with Shakthar Donetsk (away to Rennes) or a small treble with Marseille.

Current score: Mansfield 3, Grays 0
I don't like the premiership fixtures today, not much worth betting on! I've put a tenner on arsenal to win, and a tenner on chelsea to win 1 or 2 - nil.
Couldnt see much worth betting on today.
Man Utd, Spurs, Liverpool and Chelsea should all win but I'm not prepared to risk an acca at the low odds.
I've just taken Watford to beat Brighton at 1.78 on Betfair.
hbk4life
Dec 3 2005, 12:42
I like Reading at 4/6 to beat Luton, other than that the teams that should win have pretty crap odds, such as:
Man Utd, Chelsea, Gretna.
I've also put a couple of quid on Liverpool/draw & the other way round Wigan/draw for this afternoons game both at 14/1.
cogitoergozoomo
Dec 3 2005, 13:02
Falkirk for a draw with Rangers is a good shout at 3/1 and if you are especially brave 7/1 for a win is a cracking price.
hbk4life
Dec 3 2005, 13:04
Aberdeen to draw with Celtic may also be worth a small bet.
Daniel Edler
Dec 3 2005, 14:15
At 2-0 mins i got £20 on no more goals in the L'pool game.
£40 on Spurs winning by 2 goals or more. Then smaller bets on the likes of Plymouth/Coventry draw, Watford by 1 goal or more, Mido/Gray to tie goalwise (on 0), and a few on Palace to try and jinx em!
Daniel Edler
Dec 3 2005, 15:34
I appear to've lied, it's Sheff Utd i've got as the final bet, not Rangers.
Fuck Louis Garcia, lol.
Daniel Edler
Dec 3 2005, 17:05
Triple post, jeez.
I had a nice little accumulator on Spurs/Chelsea/Sheff Utd, and Cov/Plymouth to draw.
Fucking Coventry. Winning for the first time in ages! I blame Moo

.
I took the Watford bet, which didnt come in. My £10 on Burnley was stake-back on Draw, so that back. Spurs was a -2 handicap so that didnt come in either.
I wank on football betting.

Daniel Edler
Dec 3 2005, 20:19

I stuck my lot (£44 odd) on Man Utd beating Pompey with a 2 goal defecit, wahey. Already had Rooney in an accumulator, too!

I backed City to win 2-0 at the Stadium bookies, 7-1 get in. Paid for the Beer and Pies.
Had a pretty nice night tonight. Didnt see a soul in the shop from 4:30 so allowed me to have a nice little study up with the Racing Post whilst the awful. AWFUL American racing whizzed past.
Auxere @ 4/7
Celta Vigo @ 4/5
Inter Milan @ 2/9
Recouped a bit of money from the week.
Changing topic. If anyone follows Greyhound Racing. Driving Up Rob is looking awesome to pick up the Essex Vase around Romford. Was nearly a whole second faster then Solid Money last night in the 2nd round and has landed a pretty handy draw in the Semi's.
Tinopener looks like a good e/w bet at 12's or bigger as well. Should qualify for the final in his Semi and can always be laid off after.
Nice little tenner treble to pass the time.

I put a fiver double on Celtic to draw with Aberdeen & City to beat Charlton and i have no idea why as i don't think either will really happen
My bets today will be on NFL as i don't see anything that great in the footy and have probably already blew a fiver on that double.
EDIT: 57.50 return if it does though

Chelsea, Man Utd, Tottenham, Liverpool and Sheff Utd came in yesterday, not much of a gamble really but nice enough.
Might take a little punt on the Spanish this evening depending how it's looking.

Charlton 2 - 5 Man City, why the hell did i have Celtic to draw in with it! Fancy my NFL for tonight though.
