More to Gambling than Life - Betting Diary

edited February 2013 in Sports & Betting Chat

Seen loads of Poker diaries and like to keep up with Shuv's Punting Diary as sports betting is one of my main interests. So this diary will be one similar to that of Shuv's except will contain probably 80% football and 20% sports I have no idea on except horses which I never bet on.

 

 Anyway will be keeping daily updates of all my bets, Mainly value singles I hope to share with you but also results may be based on Occasions when i trade on my bets as 75% of my betting 'Bankroll' will be on an exchange site and the rest on a sportsbook fixed odds site as these are often better for doubles/trebles/accumulators. 

 

Don't claim to have loads of experience Only 19 (Student Newcastle Uni) but keep up with football intensely and fan of Tennis, golf and darts Betting aswell. My bankroll will be split £750 Exchange site and £250 Fixed odds site. 

Feel Free to ask any questions or Queries on my selections usually try do research onto why I do pick what I pick, will try keep updated daily in line with what bets I have and any bets I do trade/lay off will be shown in results. 

 

Bets will try to consist of some startegy Singles will mainly be either £25-30/£15-20/£0-£10 stakes dependng on confidence and odds

 

Name is Ryan btw not Mick just so you know

    Porto 
    Galatasaray 
    Barcelona 
    £25 at 14/1

    Exciting Night of football ahead! SO found some singles I think represent value, some risky but others i'm confident to stake larger amount at smaller odds. Will give some insight into my selections and also will post some fun accumulators i've had hoping the big pay day. 

    Singles (Exchange Site)

    Bayern To beat Arsenal £20 at 1/1
    Bayern to score both Halves £10 at 2/1 
    Bayern -1 Asian Handicap £15 at 2/1 
    Barnsley Draw No bet £30 at 7/10 (less risk,higher stake)
    Over 2.5 Ipswich vs Watford £20 at 9/10
    Sheffield Wednesday (Draw no Bet) to beat Birmingham £20 at 1/1 
    (Best away form team against a struggling birmngham)

    Main reason I'm so heavy on Bayern is simply due to their strength and Arsenals poor quality, having watched Bayern a lot this season they have been unreal beating their last 6 away oppositions to the -1 Handicap and yet to concede a Goal in these 6 games. Arsenal to me rely heavily on Wilshire who I think will be isolate by Martinez tonight and Walcott's pace will pose little threat to an experienced team like Bayern. Believe all of these bets offer good value and expect a comfortable win for the Germans.

    Fixed Odds Multiples 

    BTTS 
    Ipswich vs Watford 
    Derby vs Bolton 
    Birmingham vs Sheff Wed
    £10 at 4/1

    Correct Score Double 
    2-0 Bayern 
    2-1 Porto 
    £2 at 100/1 

    EDIT First Goalscorer Double 
    Muller Bayern 
    Martinez Porto
    £3 at 34/1

    BTTS (dreamer, 3 games tonight rest midweek)
    Burnley vs Borough 
    Palace vs Bristol city
    Millwall vs Peterborough
    Leeds vs Blackpool
    Milan vs Barca 
    Galatasaray vs Schalke 
    Hannover vs Anzhi 
    Dnipro vs Basel 
    Lazio vs Mochengladbach
    Olympiakos vs Levante 
    Lyon vs Spurs 
    £2 at 465/1 

    Feel Free to ask any questions or post any bets your having yourself on the footy or any sport, might put up some golf selections tommorow for Matchplay event and any other bets I decide to have will post on here, Good Luck.

    Don't claim to know basketball at all, don't even bother watching it just take tips form somebody who is very good in this area and I'm happy to listen and bet on what he says. I will be counting it towards profit and loss as I thought it wouldnt be right if I didnt give you an insight into all my bets.

    Lionel Messi Anytime Goalscorer £30 at 3/4
    Galatasaray Win/Over 2.5 Goals £10 at 2.8/1
    Burak Yilmaz Anytime Goalscorer £10 at 2/1 - Good value bet this guy is on fire in CL
    Blackpool DNB vs Leeds £20 at 11/10
    Leeds vs Blackpool Over 2.5 £15 at 11/10
    EXTRA - Galatasaray to Win £20 at 6/4 - Couldnt resist these odds with Drogba and 
    Sneijder starting 

    Included some Brazilian Football later aswell 

    Fluminese vs Gremio - Gremio Double Chance £20 at 5/6
    San Jose vs Conrinthinans - DNB Corinthians £20 at 1/1

    Hi, difference between asian handicap is less risk bascially 

    For example Man united vs Arsenal lets say 
    Man united Evens Draw 5/2 Arsenal 4/1
    Man United on the NORMAL Handicap -1 would be about 5/2 
    Man United on ASIAN Handicap -1 would be about 17/10 

    Asian handicap -1 means if man united were to win by a single goal eg 2-1 1-0 you would get your money back whereas just outright handicap requires them to win by 2 goals or more or you don't get anything back so therefore is more risky. Asian handicaps are good for less risk as you can have team say +1 so if they only lose by 1 goal you get your stake back

    Hope that has helped
