My gift to you, October 17th - October 31st my tips. All tips will be 2.0 or higher Odds.
Terms: 1) I place what I bet/profit/lose next to each match, you can adjust your bets to fit your bankroll. 2) I select my own tips with no help from anyone. 3) Expect to lose, because you are gambling. 4) I study a lot so I am not able to reply to questions quickly here. 5) If you win, stop betting for one day and bring your girlfriend or wife (or girlfriend and wife) out to dinner. If you lose, make sure you can afford to lose that amount because only you are responsible for any bets you place.

Good luck to us  ;)

@xgawdalmighty…   Then you should be single  haha

@kellydamo…   I have been betting on matches since 2004, and even after 25 years of betting a person is still a student who must do his work before placing bets ie studying. I go through many matches each day to try to determine which ones are worthwhile to bet on as that is a higher priority to me than posting on forums.
And also, yes, there is a chance one loses while placing bets, whether they are your own bets or someone elses. It´s best to assume you will lose to prevent yourself from spending more than you can afford. I don´t want to give anyone any unnecessary hardships/frustrations because of my tips, as everyone knows every punter goes through good days and bad days, hence why I say assume you will lose.
But I am happy I entertained you before placing a single tip. 50% of my mission has already been acomplished.

@themover…   The Holy Grail will be placed each night around 23 cet for the next early morning, afternoon and evening matches.

You've waited four whole years to tell seasoned experienced punters that they should

i. expect to lose
ii. we should only bet what we can afford to
iii. we are responsible for bets we place

You seem quite the innovative genius, I've waited all my life for some generic golden advice like thisLaugh ffs, I'm not sure why you say "good luck to us", your tips are hardly likely to be followed by anyone until you are proven, so really it's only good luck to you, I look forward to the moment you offer a tipping service.

@JC1326…   lol  probably the best thing I have read in the forums, sensational!

@scandanavian_haven…  I realize 99.9% of the seasoned experienced punters on any forum profit large sums of money which they hide away under their basement, and these winning seasoned experienced punters also typically spend time reading tips from others on forums, because, let´s face it, they realize making and reading posts in forums is much more valuable to them than spending time selecting their winning picks for that day.
On a more serious note, after the previous sarcasm has been understood, this is really why I mentioned I would not be replying much in my original post, because defending my intentions and answering silly comments only waste my time.
With that said, you took the time to assume some things, so I´ll take the to make some corrections to clear up any misunderstandings.
1)    I assume you realize not only seasoned experience punters are reading posts in this forum, there are many newbies and I think it was quite obvious that my mentioning about not losing more than you can afford to lose was directed towards inexperienced punters.
2)    I also realize criticism will come, yes, even before one places a single tip. In fact, what I can guarantee is if Day 1 is a great day some will say “yeah one day means nothing, let´s see him do it over a longer period of time“, at the same time if day 1 is a bad day some will comment saying “yes, he is obviously a horrendous punter“.  I realize whatever the outcome on day 1 or 2 is, I cannot win regarding many other posters.
3)    I think it was also clear that I am doing this for entertainment on this forum, maybe to help some people win a bit, but not to prove myself to anyone on a forum. I cannot prove anything in 14 days, I think a seasoned experienced punter would be the first to know this.
4)    Regarding my mentioning of expect to lose, it seems that sadly many people really are too familiar with reading websites that guarantee a 100% profit/85% strike rate etc etc  and despise reading someone telling the truth and not a fantasy, and have not understood my several explanations above of why I say this. I cannot help improve an individuals level of reading or understanding intelligence, I just have to hope their education did that for them. 
5)    Lastly, I own no website, I am not a member of any tipping service via website or company, and I have no plans or intentions of doing this. And why would I do that on a forum filled with seasoned experienced punters, seasoned experienced punters do not buy tips. But with that said, after 2 weeks, if you´d like me to and if you would become my first member at a low monthly cost, I would maybe start one. But only if you, as of november 1st, 2014, refer to me only as Mr Holy Grail. 

My sarcasm is not harsh, it´s just a bit silly how someone who came here for entertainment or fun, and maybe to be nice to people who have been scammed in the past by tipping services (and I am very certain there are some people here who have been) gets shot down simply for trying tob e nice and have fun. That´s the world we live in today, right…..

It´s very simple, I can play along with funny names like the holy grail, that´s amusing to read. But it´s not really fun for me to respond to comments that say I am trying to give advice to people who think they know more than anyone else while ignoring the fact that this is for entertainment and fun.

And the fun and entertainment just turns into a criticism and defending post, which again, is not why I´m here.

For any further comments, I´ll get to them as soon as I can. But I´ll ignore silly comments or refrain fromdefending my "fun and entertainment"  as I think I´ve explained myself enough about that.

And again, good luck to me and any newbies or people who want to have fun (excluding seasoned experienced punters).

@JC1326...   ;)  I understand, thanks.

@Blockfire...   From my understanding, any tip or advice in any sport means the tipster believes the Team/s he is selecting will win, or the Odds are at a good Price, or a number of other reasons he is giving that tip. I´m not certain if there is a tipster out there who gives tips on Teams he feels will lose, unless he is trying to get a bunch of People to bet on a losing Team so he can get higher Odds for himself on the Team he believes will actually win.

BUT if you can direct me to a tipster who gives tips on Teams he feels will actually lose, I´d love to read about him and how well he does  ;)

I did not explain how well or how awful I do in the long-term because regardless what I state, there will be a lot of skepticism, and rightfully so. My tips are based more so on the Odds, not on the better team or gut feelings, I don´t expect all of my tips to win, I do not win a majority of my tips, whether I Profit Long-term or not is my only concern.

The reason I say These are tips is because I believe the value is there to make the bet, and I think the teams have a good Chance to win. If I give someone a match to bet on, I hope he´d want me to believe in that pick as well, and not to give him picks that I feel will not win.

@ akubula & blockfire…   I wish that I could give an answer that would even convince myself that it´s a great bet to make, but I cannot. Houston has very favorable odds for this match, 2.5 odds at home where their opponent has not played good at. I don´t really like takng past history into account, but instead odds play a great deal to my bets, all of my matches the games I back have odds that are worth the risk of the bets, in my opinion. Im not necessarily going for the team that I feel with 100% confidence should win, but instead the one whose odds are worth the risk.
Maybe the “smart bet“ would be to back a draw, but if there is a goal this game, I would say it favors Houston, 1-0 or maybe 2-0 (although I despise giving score predictions, beause if I say 2-0 and it ends 0-2, I feel dumb). 

@westender…  That may be true. I have been told by many that I move like a cougar n the darkness amongst the trees.

@Capt_F…    I am sure you are not the only one who would take New England, and you may win that bet, because after all odds are showing that each team has roughly the same chance of winning, and if New England won it would not be much of an upset.
The lone reason I´d disagree with that pick is I believe New England had 2.6-2.7 odds and for a visiting team that has not played partcularly well on the road, those odds are defintely not worth the risk long-term.
I assume that you are just saying you choose New England because you believe you have a 50% chance of showng me up (which is incorrect, New Engand has about a 30% chance of winning), and also wthout considering the rest of my picks of course, and if that is the case than all the power to you.
Although I wish you luck if you actually backed your opinion and bet on the game, because maybe you get it right.

@throwthetellyoutawndow ….. Make sure he has a lot of epic fail pics, 4 per week should do the trick as my picks are not backing Brazil odds vs Canada  
I am allergic to over/under bets and asian handicap because I don´t fnd much value in those types of bets. Although I understand the sin I have commited on this forum and the next tme I visit Russia I will let Putin tie me to a church altar and spank me 17x with a Russian leather whip.

@scandanavian_haven...   You´re right, I probably should have ignored the previously silly comments made, I let bashers put a damper on my orignal idea which was just to have fun.

I should come out with about 30 picks for tomorrow which i´ll post around 23 cet tonight.

Enjoy your Weekend...
