FAO BETTING MEN.

This has probably been done before but...

I've noticed Lionel Messi scores most of Barcas first goals.
Would it be a good idea to stick a 10er on him each week to do so or would I end up out of pocket by the end of the season?
The odds are probably only 3/1 or 4/1 but he does score first usually.

Thoughts????

You'll be lucky to get 2-1 for him to score first mate, bookies wise to it

Nobody beats the bookies over time.

2/1 a still pretty decent though I think?

Make it 20. This time next year you'll be a millionair, guaranteed.

Put £10 on him 1 game, if that comes in put the returns on him to do it next game. If that comes in take the money and start again.

I think it's a silly bet, as you have to put on a large stake to get a decent profit. If you put half a dozen £20 bets on that and Messi didn't score first for those 6 games, you're £120 down and then you're chasing your losses. I always place small stakes for big returns and if I lose, I haven't lost much at all.

I'm currently kicking myself as I could have won £270.27 from a £10 bet last night. The odds were 9/4 for a horse I fancied, 4/5 for Leeds, 11/10 for Newport and 6/5 for Lincoln all to win. Only 4 in that accumulator, but if you bet sensibly, keep the stake small, don't go overboard with selections and pick matches/horses with decent odds (I don't usually go below evens, but I thought Leeds to win at 4/5 was great value sadly), you can still make a very good profit.

Personally, I love doing doubles and trebles on the horses as you can find much better odds. I did a £10 treble recently where the first 2 horses won and I needed the last horse to win for £234. Unfortunately, the last horse came second, so I lost, but I have won other similar bets like that and it's a much better way to win some decent money. I bet once or twice a week maximum, so I only need to win one or two bets like this to be up for the season.

I would agree with this.

If often do four or five-fold accumulators on a Saturday and the odd Tuesday - normally at a £10 stake. Haven't done many this season as I find it hard to predict the early-season matches. Normally from October onwards.

My golden rule is never include Cardiff City or Wales in my accumulators, as I'm going to look at our chances through rose-tinted glasses.

By doing this last season, I was in healthy profit from my football bets.

Unfortunately I then decided to get more into horse racing, but that went terribly for me personally so staying away from that for the time being!


All I will say to anyone who like to bet or are just starting to bet, is only bet what you can afford. Betting should be fun

Scored again 1st tonight in their 6-1 Win over Eibar - For the record he scored 4 of the 6 goals

I did watch this! He was 8-1 to get a hatrick which I looked at yesterday.
Should've done more than just look at it!
