The all new football betting thread: 2015-2016 Season.

[RoversAreRed]

As talked about on the bookie bashing thread, heres a new betting thread for everyone to share their accas, tips, and all other bets had. Can keep an account of if your up/down (if you wish) to see who's doing well and add a competitive edge. I'd say keep it football based and use the bookie bashing thread for all other sports, but that can be up for discussion.

As for me i've just won a nice £50 courtesy of Danny Lee in the golf. (£5 e/w @40/1) So that puts me in good stead for the start of the season.

The acca I've looked at for Saturday includes:
Palace Norwich
United Spurs
Chelsea Swansea
Boro Preston
Hull Huddersfield
Rovers Bury
Burton Scunthorpe

at around 98's. Not had it on yet as I'm looking for a couple more non accas too.

Good thread. Just done mine. Plan for this season is a tenner on a fourfold, one from each league.

Saturday's is

Everton to beat Watford
Wednesday to beat Bristol City
Rovers to beat bury
Portsmouth to beat Dagenham

Tenner pays £134.00

[RoversAreRed]

I like that idea, consider it nicked 

[SoundbiteBarmyArmy]

Never, ever, ever bet on Doncaster Rovers.............

[Dare to dream!]

Good thread!

I also looked at backing Palace RoversAreRed, they have made top signings such as Cabaye and Wickham.

I think Wolves look a good bet @ 15/8 with Bet365. I've got a single on them, ill post my other bets later on in the week.

For tonight's Capital One Cup ties, I'm fancying a fiver (returning just over £51 as things stand before fluctuating odds on SkyBet) on:

Charlton vs. Dag & Red

Sheffield Wednesday vs. Mansfield Town

Swindon Town vs. Exeter City

Wolves vs. Newport County

Yeovil Town vs. QPR

I may even throw Millwall to beat Barnet and MK Dons to beat Leyton Orient in there to up the odds.

[bobjimwilly]

My £5 acca will return over £1,300 if it comes in tonight 

[Dare to dream!]

From experience I've learnt not to bet on the Capital One Cup.

From experience I've learnt not to bet on the Capital One Cup.

Looks like that's telling tonight.

[Sammy Chung was King]

My problems are not picking the right teams together, got one double up Exeter to beat Swindon and Luton to beat Bristol city.
The one's i put on here were my most likely to win, you always feel crap when you put forward losers in case somebody bet on them, the League cup is my worst competition to bet on.
It seems the middle sized clubs some think they are Billy Big B...ocks and can just cruise games, or just don't give a s..t.

Always pays to back a few outsiders doesn't it?, the one that surprised me was Oxford winning so emphatically at Brentford, that was a draw for me before it started.

[bobjimwilly]

F*cking Brentford...

[NickDRFC]

I've thought for a long time that in the early rounds of the FA Cup/League Cup, if you put a tenner on the underdog in every game you would win money. I keep meaning to have a look and see if this would work (with "hypothetical" bets, I'm not that much of a gambler) but I reckon last night you'd definitely have been quids in.

31 games, and out of those there are what I'd call 11 genuine shocks (a club in the league below/2 leagues below winning). 3 were away wins in games with a 2 division gap, 1 a home win with a 2 division gap, 5 away wins in games with a 1 division gap and 2 home wins with a 1 division gap. If the odds for those games were, say, 5/1, 4/1, 3/1 and 2/1 respectively, for a ₤310 outlay you'd win ₤500. Plus you would get a few quid more for games like Wigan-Bury, which I've not included but where Bury would undoubtedly have been the underdog.

Accumulators of more than 3-4 teams are suicide in the early rounds!

Thankfully, I didn't have a bet on this.

I'm not fancying anything tonight, although, I think Portsmouth could surprise Derby County.

I've tried and failed to copy Filo's experiment from last season (rolling a £20 bet on +1.5 goals in a game) but I'm tempted to try picking one game from each divison. That said, I rarely bet on the first or last 5 sets of fixtures in a season as thats when the silly results come in.

I failed after three bets this season, the Liverpool game letting me down, the fist two went in with MK Dons v Rotherham and Arsenal v West Ham. I've started again with the Man city game, and last night the MK Dons game and tonight I'm on the Middlesborough game

[big fat yorkshire pudding]

I had an awful first weekend on the accumulator front.  On the both teams to score front though I ended up with every team scoring, except Bristol City at 58-1 ANNOYING but not surprising.

Haven't touched the cup and probably a good thing.....

I was let down last season by some real high scoring teams - I reckon I must have bet on the only games that Barca and Bournemouth won 1-0!! When do Barca ever win 1-0! That told me I wasn't cut out for your strategy.

Barca let me down a couple of times last season, you have to accept that sometimes you won't win, I was well up last season, I expect to have a few bets go down early on in the season until we get a feel for the free scoring teams

[Dare to dream!]

I've gone for us tonight. Having looked at the teams I fancy us, we can play with 5 in midfield. Also Dickov hasn't got a bad record in the derby games.

£5@15/8

COYR!
