    Browsing the The Football Tips Thread its notable just how many supposedly sure chances are defeated, draw or screw up another type of bet in their favour. PSG, East Fife and Bayern being three from the last two days alone. Some might say they are all examples of early season form I could name a bunch of others from the summer leagues where top has lost to bottom esp away.

    So I'm going to run a blog which seeks to find the the winning bet while backing the supposedly much weaker team, be it a straight win, DNB, double chance or handicap bet.

    Updates to follow as and when.

    It'll be a slow burner log, see if I can double the bank over the 2011-12 season.

    Why not just lay the team that is the banker on betfair.

    Good idea. Not much value to be had in backing favourites. Like jj said, you would do better to lay the fav on bf.

    Its just fun at the moment. Not in a position to back or lay anything for real.
