Juventus let down the accumulator, but United win so only down 50 cent.

Margin ....... - €10.61

Two for tonight...

Al Hilal Riyadh @ evens
Win-Draw-Win
Al Hilal Riyadh v Ulsan Hyundai

€1 returns €2
Blind bet from the tips thread. Really, this is the type of bet I need to cut out but the stats were too convincing...

And an accumulator...

Over/Under 2.5 Goals
Ajax v Real Madrid

Over 2.5 Goals @ 4/7
Over/Under 2.5 Goals
Arsenal v Olympiacos

Over 2.5 Goals @ evens

Over 2.5 Goals @ 8/11
Over/Under 2.5 Goals
Man City v Borussia Dortmund

€1.50 returns €11.76

Lord TSC

Ugh.

Also went with...
Man City v Borussia Dortmund - Borussia Dortmund @ 7/2 (-1.0) €1
...but it got messed up cause of the draw. Bad loss last night...

Margin ....... - €14.11

I went for a 1/2/3 goals bet before I had a dreadful night and wouldn't have done this if I had known I was going to be hurt so bad, but here goes...

E Vargas @ 3/1
Anytime Goalscorer
PSV v Napoli

50c returns €3.50

Lord TSC

Margin ....... - €17.61

Jesus. It was looking good for a while there. Went on a run of wins. Now a run of losses.

For today, not doing any accumulators. Just trying to get a win or two. Start things off with the 12.45 game...

Man City @ 10/11
To Score in Both Halves
Man City v Sunderland

€1.50 returns €2.86

S Fletcher @ 10/3
Anytime Goalscorer
Man City v Sunderland

€1 returns €4.33

Lord TSC

The X Factor bets fail, the Bastia bet comes through, City score in both halves, Fletcher doesn't score at all. Overall then, I'm down 19c, which tbh isn't bad for me. :P

Margin..... - €17.80

I've not decided what to do with United tomorrow yet; I'm tempted to back Newcastle to score first, and if/when that comes through, back United to win in play.

Meanwhile, I've made a bet for El Classico.

Real Madrid @ 15/8
Draw No Bet
Barcelona v Real Madrid

€1.50 returns €4.31

Given Real have to be up for it to close that point difference down, and Barca's defense woes, those odds seem very generous. I know Barca are at home, but it's odds like that that makes gambling gambling :P

Lord TSC

Right, here goes...

Over 2.5 Goals @ 4/6
Over/Under 2.5 Goals
Southampton v Fulham

€1 returns €1.67

Over 3.5 Goals @ 7/4
Over/Under 3.5 Goals
Southampton v Fulham

50c returns €1.34

Newcastle @ 7/5
Team To Score First
Newcastle v Man Utd

€1 returns €2.40

R Van Persie @ 16/5
To Score 2 or More Goals
Newcastle v Man Utd

50c returns €2.10

I also will back United to win if/when they go one down.

Lord TSC

I also went with....

Newcastle v Man Utd - Man Utd @ 9/4 (-2.0)
50c returned €1.62

...in play when United went 1-0 up.

United win 3-0, but no RVP goals. Southampton drew 2-2 with Fulham. El Classico is a draw, so money returned back.

Margin..... - €16.67

Not much of a profit today but profit is profit at my level :P
International break up next. Last time round, I halved my losses. Let's see if I can again

Lord TSC

Wow, not much value in any of the games I'd know anything about. Just went with a really basic accumulator.

Italy @ 2/5
Win-Draw-Win
Armenia v Italy

Spain @ 1/6
Win-Draw-Win
Belarus v Spain

Colombia @ 1/2
Win-Draw-Win
Colombia v Paraguay

Germany @ 4/9
Win-Draw-Win
Ireland v Germany

€1.50 returns €5.31

Lord TSC

Accumulator comes in. I also did...

England v San Marino - W Rooney to score three @ 7/2 - €1

....thinking that he'd be taking penalties and staying on for 90 mins as captain. Scored two goals, one from a penalty, before being subbed off

Still, profitable night.

Margin..... - €13.86

Lord TSC

Feeling good guys. Going into profit today.
(Nah, it's will probably fall at the first hurdle when Brazil fail to win....)

Lord TSC

Northern Ireland held Portugal to a 1-1 draw (somehow!) killing the accumulator. England vs Poland is 1-1 at time of writing. I'll cry if it goes Overs and I lost my accumulator by a goal

Anyway, two after-timing bets. In the England game I had...

Poland v England - W Rooney (Anytime) @ 6/4 (Win)
€1 returned €2.50

Poland v England - BTTS @ evens (Win)
75c returned €1.50

Margin.... - €12.61

So that's the second time I've bet on Internationals, and twice I have cut a chunk off my margin, which I'm pleased with.

Great bets. Fair play

Lord TSC

Sickened by the United result; 3-2 on the 93rd minute, only to give away a penalty and then lose 5-4. Swansea and Norwich pick up wins, so missed the treble by seconds

Margin - €14.66

Weird. I knocked 4 quid off the margin which is an awesome night for me, relatively. But being so, so close to knocking another tenner off....

Lord TSC

Forgot to post my bets for the Arsenal game. At time of typing, United are already 1-0 up within 10 minutes

The PP site is down right now though so can't post the odds. Will update later when it's back up. Familiar for anyone following my United bets over the last week though. I backed Over 2.5, 3.5 and 4.5, as well as BTTS.
