Oh, and if you only follow one piece of advice, NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER do multiples on here. They are strictly for mugs only who don't care what price they are, hence betfair offer rubbish ones and make a fortune from them. Sorry if that sounds harsh, but it's the truth.

My advice don't bet on any friendlies except if laying the favorites as most of the time they can't be bothered or manager sticks a bunch of reserves on especially if playing away. Prime example Man City yesterday against loosing 2-1 to NY Red Bulls.

Also never bet on the following:

Woman's football
Anything Under 21
Meaningless fixtures like end of season where one team certain relegated the other mid table mediocrity.

This is my advice, also speed is key especially when looking to trade, the number of times I have saved myself 1 sec before a suspend is amazing to me even with delayed video.

instead of saying laying at 100, do 111 this may save you big time, it has for me. :) good luck.

if you're only interested in the maths it doesn't matter who's playing, what sex they are or if it finished 0-0 or 40-0

Yes and you don't need to understand the sport either.

Well you can ignore that load of rubbish for starters.

For those who are saying i coudn't make 100% a week you need to remember my life isn't depending on these bets - It's small amounts and mainly for fun. Some of u guys seem to be talking as if you do this for a living, i don't as im only dealing in such small amounts.

For example my first stake will probably have the potential to lose me 50% of my bank, but i could gain about 17.5%. Ofcourse if my first few bets fail then i could be in trouble, but if i get off to a dcent start i should be ok.

In the world cup i made £150 from £20, that may not be much money to you lot but as you can see thats a big % gain, but ofcourse we're dealing with small numbers.

I'll see how it goes, keep the ideas coming too!

Really you're saying you're going to carry on walking down the same road you've always walked down then. If you're risking so much on one bet you'll lose your bank sooner rather than later. Good luck though

"Always back singles always trade when a profit can be guaranteed dont chase stay patient study form."

Good advice, but boredom will set in eventually. I trade now and again, and I've certainly lost out doing so. My problem is trading at the wrong time, and giving back more than I should. I'm a gambler not a trader. Winning £20-£50 a day is too boring for me. I want the big one. The boring way is time consuming and I want excitement. However, if someone is prepared to put in the long hours, they deserve a nice profit.

Folks always strive to say the right thing here for fear of ridicule. My strategy is probably all wrong, and could be torn apart by the smarter ones, but I couldn't care less. If you let others on a forum affect your posts, there is no hope for you. Not really bothered about credibility, just want to have a laugh and hope a big win comes along.

Everyone has different ideas.

By all means asks questions, take on board all the answers, but always go with what you think is best.

My strategy leaves a lot to be desired due to being extremely lazy. I am honest with myself though, not that it makes turning a profit any easier. Golf is the latest subject to take my interest, and events over the last few months give me great encouragement for the future. You can bet decent golfers at big prices and I think I can nail one at huge odds before the season is out. Well you have to keep believing. Plus, I'm really enjoying it regardless of financial gains.

Good luck Emmerson.

Emmerson take it from me if you think you've a chance of making 100% profit a week then you're going to end up dissappointed.

What do you mean by 100 percent profit? Doubling your bank every week?
By:
Emmerson
When: 27 Jul 10 00:02
I'm not thinking i'm going to make 100% every week, but i think for the first few it's possible. i think you guys are thinking to much into this, i will be staking large %'s of my bank in order to recieve these results.

Remember u lot are probably only dealing under 5% of ur bank in bets to gain 15-20% gain. First few bets i'm going to be risking 50%......I think a hell of alot of people who are dealing in smaller amounts make 100% of their bank pretty easy, it's when your talking about large sums it's harder cause your effectively dealing with money that affects your life, mine is nothing like that.

And also i see alot of people saying Study form, what exactly do u mean by this? Study the teams recent results and which players are set to play/injured, that sort of thing? Cause some of u are saying research for hours, i mean what research can u do on a match odds bet for hours lol?

fair enough Emmerson, i probably misquited you. For what it's worth here's my advice... Remember that the vast majority on here lose in the long run, read the general betting forum and sort out the wheat from the chaff and then learn, never have a bet just for the sake of it, dont chase your losses by desperately wacking up your stakes, never bet with what you can't afford to lose, learn to be selective about what you bet on, and if betting on next manager markets, Torres/Milner etc to go or stay, always remember you're likely to be betting against people at some point who have knowledge to which you have no access.

Only bet on long time, big volume events.  Examples are golf majors, World Cup, Tour de France.  Big volume equals big odds on some, and liquidity equals ability to back and lay.  Long time events give you a chance to trade many times.

I've had terrible luck with overs/unders.  If I go overs there's no goal and I need to trade out at a loss and always when I bet unders i get a goal in the first ten minutes.   It's a message from the gods for me to avoid Overs/unders I reckon. [:o]

I was pulling your leg just a little sofaking.  But as it happens u/o does form part of my steady profits but then again I never take the money off the book unless it has gone out of line with probabilities.

In all honesty the best tip is never never chase your losses. If your havin a bad day, turn off your computer and give it a break for a day or two.

good advice but not as easy as it sounds. Laugh

It was just a generalisation, the blind leading the blind. "Advice" offered includes, dont get greedy, dont bet what you cant afford, dont bet on xyz market.

Hows that advice going to turn a loser into a winner? Complete nonsense. Good runs aside, you will continue to feed the big fish.

With the unders/overs, is there any way of knowing if it's going to be a goal-fest or a game where everyone will struggle to score a goal and it might be 1-0 in the 90th minute? Looking back at the past Chelsea results, they've done everything from 0-0 to 8-1.
By:
Bouncyhippo
When: 29 Jul 10 17:59
I've also seen games where the first goal is scored in the 3rd minute and then the second is scored in the 89th minute (or similar) so you can't even tell from that whether it'll be a goal-fest or not. I think they should have some gentleman's agreement to only score a fixed number of goals and at nicely interspersed periods like every 20 minutes. [smiley:crazy]

Emmerson in a nutshell it's about probability and how it relates to the price at which you match the bet.

Emmerson ,stick to a league you know well. The epl,la liga are also good leagues because of the volume.

I started playing the 1-1 score, i took notes on prices and found it paid off ,not by a lot .... but it did work .

something similar would be good ,maybe only betting when you know there is value ,sometimes you have to wait your turn until the chance arises . good luck for 2011

Any of you scalp in-game? I'm messing about with various unders/overs but it's emotionally draining. 25% yield, though.
