Typically every website you look at everyone is tipping blackburn. you can see why.you look at the stats and it's an obvious home win surely?but as we all know football doesn't work like that. teams win a few get tipped up and lose. we see it every day.unlike those who write these tips i've watched blackburns games.luck isn't the word. unbelievable luck and it has to run out soon.i'll give you an example. we won at home to leicester 2-1. the first half we literally had one chance, it went in. the rest of the half was all leicester. a header somehow right at robinson a clearance off the line etc.the second half more of the samw. leicester equalise. they also score a second that was ruled and shouldn't have been. we score and make it 2-1. it was offside.it's been like that in most the games.approach with caution


i hope advise from an actual fan helped save a few people some moolah. if a teams on a winning run, you lay. simples!

Report desperatemunter • September 21, 2012 9:20 PM BST
good advice there.  B'burn have only cost me 2 50p accas so not too bothered.  Teams on a good run are like a siren song to me as a punter and I find it soooo hard to go against them but i know I should.    A team on a winning run should never be backed once that 'run' has gone beyond 3 or 4 games.
Report shaunthesheep • September 21, 2012 9:24 PM BST

Report desperatemunter • September 21, 2012 9:25 PM BST
what I find even more compelling is the weight of expert opinion that builds up around teams on a run : i make a point of reading or listening to match reports, reports that are filed by people, sometimes ex-pro's, with a lifetime in the game or reporting on the game.  And the consensus of them all is/was that B'burn were waaay too good for this league etc etc AND Boro are dire away from home.
And I say to myself, who am I , with my passing and casual interest in football to go against people like that : I would be a fool to go against people like that. 
And then, as so often, this happens!!

@Biscuit .. was nearly doomed. I am -3K this week .. I have been way way to unlucky . I hope I manage another comeback like the past 3 weeks.

Came back for a profit from the following fu ck ups:

Chelsea +3 alternative handicap : 1-4 vs atleti madrid
Real Madrid to score a goal: lost 1-0 vs seville

and others which did not affect the bankroll way too much:
QPR vs chelsea 0-0
Stoke 1-1 vs city (over 2.5 in halftime backed)
Report desperatemunter • September 21, 2012 9:50 PM BST
Milan I have to say to you, as your not going to be here much longer the way your going, stop backing superheavy odds-on.  You feel a sense of security when you do it - 'they only have to score one goal, in 90 minutes, how hard can that be?' - but that is the TRAP. And you are right in it.

what strategy do you use then? I just lay away teams when they go 0-1. Managed to avoid this one as ended up watching something with friends..

Report desperatemunter • September 21, 2012 11:07 PM BST
no-ones gonna like this, but here goes :   this word 'strategy', replace it with the word 'system' and the awful truth begins to emerge :  there is no one single play you can employ routinely, blindly almost, and expect to have consistent success with.
There are no systems, they are a mirage, a thing we would all like to exist, but do not.
Report desperatemunter • September 21, 2012 11:10 PM BST
be fluid,a little random even.  That is what is required,   If there were 'systems'  well, one could just employ a bot to do the work and the money would just roll in.
Report desperatemunter • September 21, 2012 11:11 PM BST
I go too far perhaps - a general strategy or system is a good thing, but being able to deviate from it is essential.
