    Closed that spread bet out too early, it made up to 15, so would have been a (6.5 x £1.5) £9.75 profit, instead I took a £9 loss, so it cost me £18.75. Meh, swings & swongs.

    As there was 5 x 3 corners does that mean you would've made a profit if not ended the bet ? I wanna try and get into spread betting but it's very confusing for me.

    Yes. I originally sold at 21.5, & it made up at 15 (5 x 3) so my profit would have been 6.5 points. (21.5 minus 15).

    It IS confusing at first, but it's huge fun. The learning curve has been steep for me, but now I have a spread bet on every game I watch on TV. Remember, if in doubt, close the bet early. Leave it too long & it can be too late. And ONLY spread bet when you can watch the game in real time.

    I wouldn't normally make a Shots on target bet but there's some good value in Ghana V Uruguay at 3pm.
    Uruguay need a win so will have to go for it and over the 2 group games Ghana have scored 5 and let in 5.

    You can get 2+ shots on target for each team in each half boosted from 6/1 to 9/1
    Might be a worth an optimistic punt :)

    2 V 4 SoT in the first half, finger crossed Ghana get some chances in the second!

    2 V 3 in the 2nd so just squeaked by, but they were both really motivated til the whistle so I think it was a good bet :)

    Serbia v Switzerland

    FO

    £20 UNDER 10 corners @ 3/4 (Wm Hill)

    Spreads

    SELL @ 22.5 @ £1.50 per point

    59th minute; with just 2 corners so far, I'm going to hit & run. This guarantees a profit on the night even if the FO one goes down.



    Multi-Corners
    Serbia v Switzerland
    Bet value: +£20.25
    Thank you. Your bet has been closed.


    Profit/Loss +£20.25

    Sell @ 22.5, = +£20.25



    Running Profit/Loss (+£191.33 + £35.25 = ) £226.58

    Good call, well done.

    Might be some value in Croatia V Japan, Japan often concede early then make good adjustments.
    HT/FT Croatia/draw @ 14/1
    Modric 2+ SoT in 90 mins boosted to 10/1
    Not that likely but decent odds :)

    I'm interested in Tikay's Spread betting, That's an impressive profit for such limited risk :)

    @poppy765

    Well you need to be lucky for starters.

    But there IS risk, sometimes the games can go badly wrong. It's important when they do that you take the loss rather than sit there & hope. I leave a lot of money on the table by being ultra nitty, but I'd rather that than gamble for a bigger return.

    When I'm doing Multi-Corners at £1.50, I'm usually very happy to cut & run if it hits +£15. Games can "turn" very quickly, but I'm v v happy if I can nick £10 to £15 per game, it soon adds up.

    @Tikay10
    I guess if your liability only lasts an hour then it's easy to draw a line under. I think I'll stick to micro stakes + long shots for now, so I could have a bad month and it not affect my balance.
  • poppy765poppy765 Member Posts: 1,515
    Just one SoT for Modric, and Japan/Draw in 90mins,
    So decent a bet just a little off :/

    If anyone is looking for a long shot to use a little free bet on,
    In the world cup quarter final specials you can get 100/1
    for all 4 matches to have +1.5 first half goals, which is not impossible :)
