Been meaning to do one of there for a while. Going to be betting mainly on soccer and NFL with a few horses here and there.

Starting Bank: €100

1 Chelsea to win to nil @ 5/6
2 Hakeem Nicks (NY Giants) @ 8/13
Multiple Bets

1 x 5.00 Stake: Potential Winnings: 9.81

Chelsea are yet to concede a goal this season at home and come up against a Sunderland side without their main scoring threat, Darren Bent. Chelsea to win to nil looks a good bet to me here.
Cross genre with this bet but I didn't see anything else I liked in soccer today. The Giants (6-2) are hosting the Dallas Cowboys (1-7) who are leaking TD's through the air this season with 18 conceded (2nd worst in the NFL). Although The Cowboys are coming into the game under a new head coach and may up their game for this divisional class, I find it difficult to see Hakeem Nicks not grabbing a TD. Eli's favourite target has 9 in 8 games and had two TD's in the reverse fixture earlier this season.

More NFL bets to come later.

Closing balance: €95

skeleton_boy · 14-11-2010 05:02PM

Above bet lost as Chelsea conceded their first goal at home this season. Typical of when I start one of these, but as a United fan

Bet for the early games in the NFL
1 BUF Bills -1.0 @ 20/23
2 HOU Texans +1.0 @ 20/21
3 Braylon Edwards anytime (NY Jets) @ 6/5
Multiple Bets
1 x 5.00 Trebles
Stake: 5.00
Potential Winnings: 35.15

The lions without Stafford perform like a completely different team and the Bills are coming off two close losses. They must fancy their chances here and so do I.
Houston lead the league in rushing TD's and always have the deep threat of Andre Johnson. Should be a high scoring game with Houston having too much on offence and coming out on top.

Balance: €90

Only on bet365 unfortunately but cheers for the heads up

coughlan08 · 30-11-2010 04:30AM

overall bet365 are prob better anyway.
looks a good bet,have been watching the game and it has a big chance now.
have no money on the game myself but the brother had a nice lump on 49ers at -8

skeleton_boy · 30-11-2010 04:44AM

Looks like a loser now. Was hoping for a forced pick or turnover on downs giving the 49ers good field positions. Thought it was a good price so I'm not too worried over the loss

Was confident the pace set would suit and as long as he stood on his feet he'd have a hell of a chance. Speaking of which his jumping was excellent today.

Worst weekend in the nfl for me all season. It's been quite profitable for me thus far though so you'll have to expect one or two bad weeks.
Two really shocking results there though. The Pats going into Solider Field and doing that :eek: They've got to be red hot favourites for the Super Bowl now. And of course the Packers losing to the Lions was tough especially as a Packers fan myself. Hopefully Rodgers will be good to go next week but we've one tough schedule ahead of us and that loss yesterday was devastating

Will probably have a small bet on the soccer tonight later.

Bet365 still have Peterson listed on their TD scorers list. Huge value imo, especially in this weather where passing will be kept to a minimum

Basketball bet won but the football side lost out by 0.5. It was 21-21 at HT, a scoreless 3rd followed (including a blocked FG :mad:). Then there was 2 TD's in the first minute of the 4th meaning I only needed 4 more points. All we get from the rest of the game is a FG. **** my luck.

1 CAR Panthers - Under 12.5 @ 5/6
Stake: 24.00 Single
Potential Winnings: 20.00

The panthers are only averaging 13.1 points a game this season. Tonight are going to the home of arguably the best defence in the league. The Steelers are tied top the nfl in points allowed per game (15.7). I really cant see Carolina getting into the endzone here hence the relatively big bet for me tonight. The only doubt in my mind would be the absence of Troy Polamalu, the undoubted leader of the Steelers D. Still at home, against a very poor Panthers side, this looks like one not to be passed up on.

Win. The Panthers could only manage three points and as predicted they didn't come close to getting into the endzone

Think I'll try and provide a bit of reasoning from here on as it proved to be very beneficial tonight and it can only improve the quality of the log.
Biggest bet of the season for me on nfl comes good and we've a new high for the log

1 Under 43.5 (Seahawkes @ Bucs) @ 10/11

3 SD Chargers -8.0 @ 10/11
Multiple Bets
1 x 10.00 Trebles
Stake: 10.00
Potential Winnings: 53.78

Gone with a bit of mix and match tonight as I'm staying away from meaningless games in nfl. They're very unpredictable (but highly entertaining!)
The Bucs and Seahawkes are both still in with a shot at the playoffs. However neither have prolific offences and both are averaging 20.0 and 19.9 respectively. For this reason the spread looks favourable. Hoping for a cagey affair as the loser will most likely not make the playoffs.
Living with a very frustrated Villa fan at college. As he'd say "Villa always concede late". Today they've face a Spurs side who as we all know aren't afraid to score goals. I'd have my doubts about Spurs at the back too though so both teams to score @ 4/7 looks a strong bet bet. But being my birthday I decided to be greedy and go with overs. Still it should have a very good chance imo.
The last one is simple. The Chargers have the top defence and second offence in the league. They must win to have any chance of making the playoffs. The Bengals have won three games all season. San Diego should be too much for them and I expect them to cover.

skeleton_boy · 27-12-2010 04:37PM

Got the soccer bang on. Could of been over 2.5 in the first 20min. Only saw highlights of the nfl cause I was out last night but I got it pretty wrong

A big breakout day for Josh Freeman throwing 5 TD's saw the Bucs almost beat the overs themselves. :pac: Carson Palmer also decieded to turn up for the first time this season and played a near perfect game. Ah well.

2 Didier Drogba to score anytime and Chelsea 2-0 @ 20/1
Stake: 5.00 Single
Potential Winnings: 100.00

Drogba loves scoring against Arsenal. He's bagged 13 in 13. Chelsea have won this fixture the last 4 times and haven't conceded in the last 3. Hoping these trends continue tonight.

skeleton_boy · 29-12-2010 07:47PM

Fernando Torres to score first and Fulltime Result: Liverpool @ 3/1
Stake: 10.00 Single
Potential Winnings: 30.00

Torres has scored almost a goal a game at home in his career at Liverpool and I think the break Liverpool are coming off can only help his form. Wolves have only 1 point away from home this season, the worst away record in all 4 leagues. Gerrard also make his return tonight, so with him and Torres on the field at home I'd hope Liverpool have no problems getting past Wolves.
