T.T.

I'm praying we can turn this one round. I have £100 on us to win the League Cup at 9/1.

Drawings....

OK, I lost my £90 on the FSW. but have found a way to get a little bit of it back: £120 on rafa to NOT be the manager at the start of next season @ 5/6 (Victor Chandler) £50 on rafa to be the manager at the start of next season @ 5/2 (Ladbrokes) Total £170 bet. £50 profit as long as he isn't manager at the start of next season, and £5 profit if for some strange reason he is still the manager. It's not very often the bookies give you a non lose bet. p.s. I would have bet more, but £50 is the maximum that Ladbrokes is taking on the bet.

I refuse to believe that it's going to be the fat spanish waiter as our next manager, so I have just LAYed £90 on Betfair @ 1.30 for a possible win of £300. If we do get the fat spanish waiter then losing £90 will be the least of my concerns.

Realistically I can't see anybody other than us or arsenal winning the league cup, so the saver bet is tempting (although having a bet on them to win it would make me feel a bit dirty). I am going to have to think about this one a bit.

That was a bit exciting last night, wasn't it !? Believe it or not I managed to find a profit from last nights league cup game at home to manutd. I really couldn't decide what score to bet on (as it was impossible), so I had £55 on us to progress to the next round @ 8/11 (£40 profit). At 93 minutes I thought that it was dead money. I'm pretty happy with the £100 I have on us to win the league cup at 9/1 (very generous Victor Chandler), as the odds are now down to just 6/4. Should I have a small £50 saver bet on arsenal to win it @ 2/1 ?

My effort's for the manutd game on Saunday: £10 on 1-0 @ 12.0 £6 on 2-0 @ 17.0 £3 on 3-0 @ 36.0 £8 on 2-1 @ 11.0 £3 on 3-1 @ 24.0 Total outlay £30

That is true Ollie, but I am still in profit for the season so far (by about £200) and therefore my recent losses have only been giving the bookies some of their money back.

You could be right Hutcho. I have just added a £30 bet on Chelsea to win (draw no bet) @ 2.32 just in case they score. At least this way I won't lose money if we win (unlike the spurs game).

OK, I lost money on the spuds game. They were not supposed to score twice, and we weren't supposed to score more than 3. Nevertheless, I was still ecstatic. I am going to risk a little bit less for tonight's game against Shakhter. I think I have some great value odds here: £15 on 1-0 @ 11.0 £10 on 2-0 @ 19.0 £5 on 3-0 @ 50.0 £2 on 4-0 @ 160.0 £2 on 5-0 @ 770.0 Total outlay £34

This is spurs we are talking about. We cannot lose (especially with the clown in charge).

The Norwich game let me down, but I still have a reasonable profit for the season so far, so I am not yet deterred. For the spurs game I am going for a very similar betting pattern as I did for the arsenal game: £15 on 1-0 @ 12.0 £10 on 2-0 @ 20.0 £5 on 3-0 @ 46.0 £15 on 2-1 @ 12.5 £5 on 3-1 @ 30.0 and finally; a saver bet of £25 on the draw @ 3.50 Total outlay £75

maybe that was just wishful thinking...

I don't know if this has already been posted, but it appears that that photo claiming to be of her is actually of: eliska kovarova See: http://sportemotori....-la-verita.html

My bets for the Norwich (home) game: £15 to win 2-0 @ 7.8 £19 to win 3-0 @ 9.0 £12 to win 4-0 @ 14.5 £6 to win 5-0 @ 29.0 £4 to win 6-0 @ 67.0 £2 to win 7-0 @ 126.0 £2 to win 8-0 @ 301.0 Total outlay £60

Thank you WHS and TRS. My season is going along quite nicely so far. I have already re-invested £60 for the Norwich game. I will post my bets once Betfair have accepted the odds I have asked for. I also have a lot of juicy season bets.

After good profits from the Wolves and Arsenal games, this is what I am going for tonight (away to FC Nordsjaelland) : £15 to win 2-0 @ 7.8 £10 to win 3-0 @ 11.5 £8 to win 4-0 @ 19.5 £4 to win 5-0 @ 44.0 £3 to win 6-0 @ 120.0 Total outlay £40

My bets for the Arsenal game (our score listed first) : £10 1-0 @ 13.5 £6 2-0 @ 24.0 £4 3-0 @ 62.49 £11 2-1 @ 14.0 £4 3-1 @ 38.0 and finally £16 draw @ 3.5 I have covered quite a few scores because of the increased odds (it being arsenal away). I have included the bet on the draw as a saver bet (I wouldn't normally bet on us to draw). As long as we don't lose I should expect a return from my £51 invested.

Thank you TRS.

Thanks Hutcho !! 300 quid back from 60 quid outlay (240 profit). Not bad. It puts my season into a good profit.

Yes, it sounds like they have missed 2 sitters. That is always the big worry when betting to win to nil.

Good point Hutcho. At 3-0 early on I panicked and have added the following bets in-play: £10 7-0 at 14/1 £5 8-0 at 40/1 £5 9-0 at 80/1
