Great stuff chivo, thanks for organising.

 

Great stuff chivo, thanks for organising.

No probs. It should be a good 5 weeks.

 

I had a look at the bets available and I never seen a "Live Treble".

Can you do these?

 

Bookie - William Hill
Type - Single
Event - Coca Cola Championship Mon 26.02.07
Selection - Stoke v Barnsley, Draw HT, Stoke FT @ 10/3
Stake - £10

 

Think all events have to be on the same day unless chivo's changed the rules, m10.

And if you could do that bet ,the potential returns would be a lot more than £25.74

What's a live treble?

 

Ok I'll change it but I dont have an eye for a good bet hence why I tried to go for just a simple accumulator

On PP they have Live Trebles like Barcelona to won, 11 corners and 55 point card index.

I can spot crazy ones at 17/1 etc etc but they dont exactly give me much confidence. Ok I'll change my bet shortly after I have another look around at whats on this week.

Can any of your gambling addicts offer me some useful links to whats being played all week in all sports, not just football?

 

I've seen the live trebles before. I'd prefer not to include them to be honest for no other reason than it's a nightmare to check the stats. Results are easy enough for me to check but corners, cards, etc. can be a pain to locate.

As Angle says the events must take place on the same day I'm afraid. If you are not sure what to take then just take a single or a double. Remember also that you don't have to take anything if you don't fancy anything on that day.

I don't know any links for other sports other than football. For the football http://www.sportpress.com/ is decent with lots of stats and a full preview of the week's football ahead.

BTW don't worry about posting potential returns as these can be worked out after and will save everybody some leg work.

I'l post my first prediction tomorrow.

Excellent site there BTW :thumbsup:

Anymore ones that provide stats? That one is better that soccerbase.com by miles with the exception Sportspress doesnt offer player stats.

 

Ok first bet for me,
Stoke HT/FT 6/4 with Coral

 

Stoke to beat Barnsley @ 8/13 with PaddyPower

 

I thought I was the only gambler who lacked adventure p

 

Never so Blue - Plumpton 4:50

11/10 William Hill

 

Is it just me or is everyone forgetting to mention their stakes? Is the maximum amount of £10 used as a default if no one mentions it?

 

I'll have an ambitious trixie tonight with Sporting Odds:


Grenoble v Le Havre, Le Havre 7/4
Drogheda Utd v Linfield , Drogheda EVS
Maritimo v Uniao Leiria, Mar Funchal 11/10

Yes. If you look at the first post in the rules thread there is a list of bet types and their relative stakes there. It makes things easier that way- for me anyway.

 

Maritimo v Uniao Leiria, Mar Funchal 11/10

Eh?

 

I thought I was the only gambler who lacked adventure p

Got to build up a pot before making the more 'adventurous' bets:thumbsup:

 

Eh?

I blame the bookie as it was a real bet and I just copied it from my line. That stands for Maritimo Funchal.

 

Table moved over page.

 

Well well I am impressed with this so far Chivo except would people stop calling me Maradonna!! My god he's the best player we've seen and we call him a girls name :frustrat: :frustrat:

What are the red figures indicating on the current table section? And why are you the only person who is showing as -£10?

 

Braga vs Estrela Amadora - DRAW @ 3.50 courtesy of Bet 365.

Woops. Sorry about that. I just finished reading 'El Diego' last week as well so I should know better. I've updated the spreadsheet and when I next update the table you'll lose your femininity.

The figures will become clearer once there are more bets as it's relative balance to show how far behind the leader people are and the red figure shows how far the person is behind the one immediately above them in the table.

 

I have read most of El Diego and compared to Hand of God its not even half the book that the Hand of God is.

Ok I'll just let the weeks flow by and see how things are looking after a few bets then I should get the jist of how things work.

I've moved this and updated to keep it on the current page. I'll continue to do that when required for easy access.

Congrats to Lafa for getting the first winner of the new competition. Off to a flyer but he may be kicking himself for not taking the SP which was 11/8.

It was a present so I didn't get much say in the matter. It was OK though having not read any other book on the man.
