TSC's 2013/2014 Season Football Log

Lord TSC

Yeay, new season, and decided to start keeping track of bets again.

Upfront, I'm not very good at this, but I do it for fun rather than anything else. I'm happy enough wasting a fiver here or there to add excitement to matches, so I wouldn't advise following bets based on what I do here. It's more just a public log of how I'm doing

Limiting myself to €5 every second week. So here goes for today...

Man Utd @ 10/11
Handicap Betting(-1.0)
Man Utd v Wigan Athletic

€5 returns €9.55

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

€2 FREEBET returns €6.40

Second was a freebet, and I also throw them on "2 or more" bets for fun. As for the other, United (and Moyes) will want to win a trophy to start things off, and if United get over their pre-season form and get serious, they should be able to dominate here.

Should. But then this is United, and it's Wigan's last hurrah I guess...

Lord TSC

Woop woop. Both win.

Balance: + €10.95

Lord TSC

England v Scotland Money-Back Special
14-08-2013 20:00
Anytime Goalscorer
W Rooney @ 11/10

€3 returns €6.30

Rooney starting despite United saying he's injured. Small bet on him scoring, based on the fact I reckon he'll try and show Moyes and United up by putting in a shift tonight.

EDIT:
I hate losing when the bet comes through but the ref makes a bad decision; Rooney scores but goal is disallowed from a wrong offside call >:(

Lord TSC

Balance: + €7.95

Liverpool vs Stoke
Number of Corners
Over 11 @ 5/6

€3 returns €5.50

Pool were very good for this type of bet last year, and I don't rate Stoke at all. Hoping to see some of the Pool team want to prove themselves without Suarez playing so hoping for lots of attacking.

EDIT:
Winner at 80 minutes. Balance: + €10.45

Arsenal vs Aston Villa
Anytime Goalscorer
O Giroud @ 10/11

€3 returns €5.73

Scoring in pre-season and their main striker today.

EDIT: Winner after only 6 minutes. Easy.

Balance: + €13.18

Lord TSC

Swansea vs Man United
Man Utd @ 11/10

€4 returns €8.40

I'm up €5 for the day, so 4 goes on United to win. As a United fan, I'll back them plenty, but those odds are too tempting for the same team that ran away with the league last year.

And if I lose, I'm still in profit for the day :P

EDIT: 4-1 to United. Knew the odds were too good :P

Balance: + €17.58

Really only one way it can go from here...

Lord TSC

Ok, see if we can keep the good form going...

Crystal Palace v Tottenham
Asian Handicap 2
Tottenham (-1.0) @ 2.25

€3 returns €6.75

Can't see Spurs losing this, but without Bale, don't know how they'll do. Think Soldado will be out to prove himself in his debut and a few people might want to show they can still do well without Bale.

EDIT: Spurs win 1-0, so money back. THAT's why I prefer Asians to normal handicaps. Balance remains the same.

Chelsea v Hull
Anytime Goalscorer
F Torres @ 10/11

€5 returns €9.55

Chelsea shouldn't have any hassle in this game. Jose first back, against newly promoted Hull. And Torres would want to improve on last year's form if he wants to fight off Rooney or any other striker they move for. Gone for a €5 stake here since I'm fair confident he should score, and I didn't lose anything in the Spurs game.

EDIT:
Right, Torres is black listed. Never looked like scoring at all.

Balance: + €12.58

Not sure if I'll bet on wrestling tonight. Would want a sure thing, or as close as possible.

Lord TSC

Man City v Newcastle
Alternative Handicap
Man City (-1.0) @ 4/5

€3 returns €5.40

EDIT:
Easy. Newcastle are atrocious.

Balance: + €14.98

Lord TSC

Right, may regret this, but let's try...

Chelsea vs Aston Villa

Anytime Goalscorer
C Benteke @ 13/5

€2 returns €7.20

To Score 2 or More Goals
C Benteke @ 25/1

€1 returns €26

In all likelyhood, these bets will lower my balance by €3 tonight. But I really rate Benteke, and think he could cause Chelsea problems tonight. Against Hull, Chelsea got their lead quick and sat back, and Hull were never a threat. If they try that tonight, against Benteke, they could have problems. Hopefully. He also takes their penalties which always makes for an attractive bet.

Add to that Chelsea will have to keep one eye on the game against United next, and I think he might, MIGHT, get the one goal at least. The odds are just to tempting to pass over.

*Crosses fingers*

EDIT:

Benteke scores 1. Should have had a penalty on 93rd, but alas. Still, profit is profit.

Balance: + €19.18

Atletico Madrid v Barcelona
Anytime Goalscorer
Diego Costa @ 23/10

€1.50 returns €4.95

Putting a little bit of my winnings on Costa to score.

EDIT: Loss. Ah well.

Balance: + €17.68

Lord TSC

Swansea v Petrolul Ploiesti
Handicap Betting
Swansea (-1.0) @ evens

€3 returns €6

I think Swansea will want a good showing in Europe this year, and at home for the first leg, they should dispatch ****ing Petrolul Ploiesti easily...

Lord TSC

Swansea won 5-1. Easy.

24th August 2013

Fulham v Arsenal
Win-Draw-Win
Arsenal @ 10/11

€2.50 returns €4.77

Small stake, but Arsenal need a win today, or there's going to be knifes out for Wenger.

EDIT: 3-1 Arsenal. Nice start.

Balance: + €22.95

Norwich @ 5/4
Draw No Bet
Hull v Norwich

€4 returns €9
Feel the odds are too high given how unimpressive Hull were in game one of the season, as compared to Norwich who strengthened over the summer.
Will be backing Benteke later to score any time. Just want to see what I've got to play round with...

EDIT: balls, Norwich were useless.

Balance: + €18.95

Aston Villa v Liverpool
Anytime Goalscorer
C Benteke @ 6/4

€3.95 returns €9.88
Same reasons as before.

EDIT: Bad day.

Balance: + €15

Lord TSC

Cardiff v Man City
Handicap Betting
Man City (-1.0) @ 11/10

Tottenham v Swansea
Asian Handicap 1
Tottenham (-1.0) @ 2.20

Little double.
I can see City mauling Cardiff, and Spurs should beat Swansea as well, but not so sure on the handicap there, so gone with the Asian.

€2 returns €9.24

Lord TSC

I honestly can't bemoan a bet which loses cause City lost :pac:

Balance: + €13

Lord TSC

Neymar to score and Brazil to Beat Australia @ 5/4

EDIT: Like the lineups, so another bit on it...

€2 returns €4.50

4-0 with 30 minutes to go, so will call it now I guess.

Balance... + €20.56

Lord TSC

Starting off the day with...

Japan v Ghana
10-09-2013 11:15
Handicap Betting
Japan (-1.0) @ 2/1

€2.56 returns €7.68

EDIT 3-1 final score. Think that puts my balance at it's highest so far this season.

Balance... + €25.68

Profit from that game going on a corner bet for Austria vs Ireland game.

Total stake for this bet: €2.50
Potential returns: €5.50

Ireland Over 5 Corners @ 9/4
Total stake for this bet: €1.50
Potential returns: €4.88

EDIT: Only manage a lousey 2 corners. Useless.

Balance... + €21.68

Lord TSC

Rooney Anytime at evens.

€3 returns €6

EDIT: Win.

Giroud Anytime at 7/5

€2.50 returns €6

EDIT: Another win!

Eto'o Anytime.

€2.18 returns €6.27

EDIT: Loss, but Chelsea lose, so its all good :P

Balance.... + €26

Not sure if I'll do anything for the Real Madrid game. Will wait for the team sheets.

EDIT: Fine, let's do this.

Bale Wincast

€3 returns €10.20

Lord TSC

Real couldn't hold on. Useless gits.

Small bet on wrestling tonight.

Daniel Bryan to win against Randy Orton

€2 returns €8

Slim chances tbh. Orton will retain his title, but I'm hopeful Bryan might get a DQ win.

Lord TSC

Can't believe that won.

Balance.... + €29

Swansea v Liverpool
D Sturridge @ 8/5

€2.50 returns €6.50

Thanks Although it's not the most amount of money I've ever won, this is the most consistent I've ever been so happy it's working out

Sturridge scores one, so profit again for the evening.

Balance... + €32

Lord TSC

Following this one from the boards...

FC Viktoria Plzen v Man City
Number of Home Team Corners
FC Viktoria Plzen Over 4 Corners @ evens

€3 returns €6

EDIT 0 corners in the first half, 7 in the second :P

Balanc.... + €35

Lord TSC

Going for a double early for tomorrow night.

Napoli v Borussia Dortmund
Over 2.5 Goals @ 4/6

Marseille v Arsenal
Arsenal @ 6/4

€3.50 returns €14.58

Napoli and Dortmund both more than capable of scoring goals. Arsenal on a bit of a high. One of those bets I think might be a tad suspect as time grows closer to kick off, BUT which I think the odds are too high for the results.

Lord TSC

Arsenal 2 - 1 Marselle
Napoli 2 - 1 Dortmund

Another win, and a nice big one at that.

Balance .... + €46.08

Lord TSC

With 50 quid, thought I'd have a little bit of fun...

Michu Anytime@ 13/5 - €3 returns €10.80
Michu 2 or more@ 20/1 - €1

EDIT: Michu already has one, so up already. Putting some of the profit on this.

Real Betis to Win @ 5/6 - €5 returns €9.17

EDIT 2: Michu with the one, Betis 0-0. End in profit though, which is always the aim each day :P

Balance... + €47.88

Lord TSC

Right, starting things off with....

Norwich v Aston Villa
21-09-2013 12:45
Anytime Goalscorer
C Benteke @ 7/5

€4 returns €9.60

EDIT: Balls, he goes off hurt at 25 minutes. That's a big blow tfor this and other games.

One bet to try and turn things back on track a bit.

Sturridge anytime 10/11 - €2.50 returns €5.25

Lord TSC

Loss there too.

Net down so quick log. 2.50 on each here.

Rooney wincast 7/1
Giroud wincast 6/4

Lord TSC

Ugh.

Anyway, I'll calculate my balance when I win something

Chelsea -1, City -1 and Spurs to win. €4 returns €25.35

Lord TSC

MUCH BETTER! Nice big win tonight puts me back on track.

Balance... + €55.73

Have now multiplied my initial investment by more than 10 fold. Like to be modest, but quite happy with myself :P
