The 2011-2012 Betting Thread: Last call for 2011/12 football, pretty much

I'm tempted to go for Bayern now -

 

250 gets you £562.50

 

Bad idea, you're chasing the potential winnings :lol: PLEASE STOP THIS IMMEDIATELY

 

The potential winnings will seduce you into making the bet - that's why the bookies put them on the betting slips, so you're tempted by the potential winnings rather than the value of the bet.

 

Reason I suggested 3-1 Madrid: Mourinho will make HT adjustments (tactically) to stem the Bayern attacks, they're getting far too much room in front of the Madrid back four. Khedeira will be asked to sit in front of the two CBs. Once they grab the third (and I make them 83% likely to score in the 2nd half), he'll bring on Coentrao (or Albiol) for Ozil or Di Maria and shore things up, looking to shut up shop. The 4-2 is a cover as Madrid hit Bayern on the counter/Bayern get a consolation (you could go 4-1 and/or 5-2)

To win this game or to qualify?

 

to qualify.

 

Be careful, that's including your stake. You're only winning £340~

So how does this make sense, then? Or won't it allow you to buy that sort of bet?

You can bet on both sides of the result if you want. If you think Madrid will win but Bayern will keep it within one goal, it's a decent bet. Just don't split your stakes evenly :lol:

Anyways, my genuine advice is for you to withdraw £290 and just play around with very small stakes while you get the hang of betting and find a market that you think you can read/judge well.

I meant for both to qualify. I chose the wrong option for madrid.

Aye, 3-1 @ 10/3 and 4-2 @ 9/1 still available. Get them early at HT

 

EDIT: Dinholad, £50 on the 3-1 and £25 on the 4-2 is a canny return for 45mins.

 

don't understand the odds and stuff. Sorry. :lol:

 

You're looking to make £150-£200 from the match?

 

Put £50 on R.Madrid 3-1 (returns £200)

Put £25 on R.Madrid 4-2 (returns £275)

 

Good shout, cheers :thup:

Aye, you can bet on both teams to qualify but you'll definitely lose money if you do it at the same time. It's a 120%+ book :(

Did Dinho win last night? Or is he just running riot atm? :lol: Can't understand what's so hard to grasp with the odds etc. :lol:

 

I accidentally chose match results instead of to qualify. So I lost a tenner. (£35 down overall from my betting, I really want to make it back.)

would it work? I mean would I be getting my £272 net?

 

Er...read the numbers:

 

You're betting £300. If Bayern win, you'd get +£37.50. If Madrid win, you'd get -£64.29 :lol:

:lol: :lol: Returns included your £150 stake, so you're guaranteed to lose money doing that if Madrid qualify. You'd win £37 if Munich went through.

Any bookie reading this thread would be rubbing his hands together in glee.  There is not a single sensible bet to be made at this stage of proceedings.  Save your money guys, please!
