Bet 001 - 2011/2012 Season

Whey, it's that time of the year again that I restart all this bollocks...

1. Going it alone - no arguments, no opts out, just me.
2. Only taking the +2.5 goals market.
3. One bet at a time.
4. Only betting on odds of evens or better.
5. 10% of pot is the stake, unless under £20.00 in which case it's £2.00

Selection number 1 was on the Champs League Qualifiers... the only match with a positive +2.5 goals was between two relative unknowns - Zestafoni v Dacia Chisinau.  A quick check on Soccerway, and neither of these teams are shy to score, so I didn't hesitate to whack my starting £2.00 on it.  Result? 3-0 all goals in the first half.  Bing!

001 - Zestafoni v Dacia: £2.00 @ 23/20 =£22.30

Bet #42 - Cornish Pirates v Worcester: Cornish Pirates

Not sure if he just liked the name, but Mr. C chose the Cornish Pirates to beat Worcester in the Championship: Aviva Premiership Play-offs.

42. Cornish Pirates v Worcester: Cornish Pirates = £7.82 @ 13/8 (£xx.xx)

Bet #41 - Citeh v Spuds: +2.5

As it says on the tin, proposed by Mr. B.  Unfortunately, Modric couldn't hit the spot with an excellent first half opportunity, and then Crouch decided to go and score at the wrong end.  With Citeh 1-0 up, they basically parked the bus infront of their goal, and the match stayed that way.

41. City v Spurs: +2.5 goals = £7.82 @ 1/1 (£46.59)

Update at 40

Update:

37. Darts + Footie 5-way = £7.82 @ 4/1 (£55.73)
38. Citeh/Spuds Double = £7.82 @ 3/1 (£47.91)

39. Stoke v Arsenal: Arsenal -0.5 = £7.82 @ 1/1 (£40.09)

40. Fulham v Liverpool: Liverpool = £8.81 @ 13/8 (54.41)

Man Utd on the ol' Asian...

Shit title, I know.  With the Dawg still on jollies, and now with smashed iPhone (I guess we now have a target!), it was up to me and the Dr. to make the selection, for the second day on the trot.  It was always going to be on the Utd v Schalke semi final, but we were debating on markets.  We finally settled on the below, and with a 4-1 scoreline, it was never in doubt.

36. Man Utd v Schalke: Man Utd -1 = £7.82 @ 2.075 (£63.55)

Back with a win... this time it's serious!

Mr D is back from his hols, so the betting is back on...  And it's always nice to restart with a win!

35. Barca v Real Madrid: -2.5 goals = £7.82 @ 11/10 (£55.14)

Halt... Hammerzeit!

What could have been was great.  What actually was, erm... wasn't.

32. Norwich v Forest: +2.5 goals = £7.82 @ 19/20 (£62.17)

33. Yankees/Cinci Reds double = £7.82 @ 2/1 (£54.35)

34. QPR to score in both halves = £7.82 @ 6/5 (£46.53)

It is at this point that betting has been called to a ceasefire.  Until Mr. D is back on 3rd May... Will that stay? Probably not :)
