Hmmm....

City have now lost three games in a row, why did you stop betting exactly during this period?  Cry

By the way, purely hypothetical question: City's next game against Brighton is priced at 1.76. Isn't that easy money? City can't drop points 4 times in a row I suppose. Even the super-reliable City double chance gives a solid +22%. What do you think?

Well, it must be said, I know how to pick them. When they win, and when they lose badly. Common sense tells me to call it quits and wait for club football, but one cannot ignore the Bolivian dilemma in World Cup qualification.

They must lost -- they're up against Argentina in imperious form (despite the last result). They want to rely on the impossible air of their stadium to snatch points, but without that "advantage", logic dictates they will only spoil for a draw. But the odds make me weak at the knees, so we go.

^ Probably not, actually (I don't remember but memory seems to suggest England were heavy favourites. I will do one last Nations League bet, and then hopefully return in time for Conmebol action. Australia to beat Japan today also tempted me but Japan are SO good, 8/1 Australia is not value enough IMO.

In which case, I'll throw in a last ditch bet against Italy. They had a great game vs Belgium, and then imploded. Could we see Israel take a similar approach AND win? I say why not?

That was a blowout. At one point, 2 goals up, Kazakhstan didn't even have a single attempt on or off target and Austria had about 20 haha. Why we didn't go for England instead, I'll have to soul search to answer!

We'll go for something a little simpler and less ambitious today as this is the one that makes the most sense. Albania have a decent past record, drawing Croatia, beating Ukraine, and losing narrowly to Italy and Spain, while Czech Republic barely escaped Georgia with a point after losing to them.

So 100 units at Sportsbet on Albania to WIN vs Czech Republic @7.42. Other odds:6.80. Unit advantage: 62

A bet on Greece versus England seems lucrative in retrospect, but were the odds really good?
In general, betting on underdogs in the Nations League is what should work, no one cares about this tournament. And after this break, there will also be increased randomness in national championships, but I am not happy about it there (since multi-bets will burn out even because of top clubs)  Grin

^ Sorry I missed your comment, or I'd have remembered to put in a bet or two against United (would have lost, they didn't lose their last two games, but might as well have honestly!) and tying down a couple of upsets that also didn't happen.

Tennis would have been something sweet today in Shanghai, but let's see if my Kazakh lucky charm turns up tonight eh?

There's not much to look at despite all the games going on, but I'm definitely throwing a punt tomorrow against Barca~

Hehe, today I found a few free bets (I only know the source of one free bet haha) and decided to make a few bold bets.
I also think that Barcelona is a vulnerable target, but I took a double chance for Young Boys with a coefficient of 9.0, it is too much to expect a victory here (in the sense that this was one of the outcomes in the multi bet).
And it also seemed to me that Arsenal and especially Bayer are overrated, so I chose victories for PSG and Milan.

There's not much to look at despite all the games going on, but I'm definitely throwing a punt tomorrow against Barca, but first, we got to take care of tonight and based on little more than emotion and some anectodal fan evidence, Monaco are ripe for punishing.

It's barely 5/1 but let's throw in some unnecessary Liverpool action, shan't we?

100 units at Sportsbet on Liverpool to win next 2 games (Bologna and Palace), and Dinamo Zagreb to WIN vs Monaco @8,74. Other odds: 8.35. Units advantage: 39

Edit: It's a half hour to kickoff, and Barca are vulnerable without their main keeper. The team is irresistible, let's be fair, so this is a dumb bet, but with odds over 20/1, it would be a crime for me to ignore. Young Boys will be eager to defend and hit on the counter, and we know Barca are always going to allow some of that.

Implied probability on every site I've checked is 91-92% -- so in any case this makes 22/1 a value bet Wink

^ Thank you! Back in the black indeed, and no, Como was inspired -- but the odds should really have been higher, so it was good to have another multiplier. Last night didn't come close, but we'll do one last Italia pick. This time, we go for Napoli, who are also a shadow of themselves and must juggle an attempted resurgence Serie A, and will see this as a distraction. Palermo know this, and will hope to defend to the hilt, and the odds aren't too shabby. Note that Napoli had to progress via penalties against another Serie B team (Moderna).

Hope someone followed those delicious Italian combo wins -- a "sad" story for me is that when I checked my results, discovered had actually bet singles, instead of acca. Rushed bet, don't know how it happened, usually the book can change from acca to single when selecting >2 matches, but I usually notice!

Now, lightning must strike twice and we must pay attention to Coppa results. I know I usually wait a full day before a new bet, but hey, let's not wait to create a new record!

Wow! X26 is super good for acca with 2 outcomes, gratz!
It's unfortunate that you made a mistake in the actual bet, but it doesn't matter for the thread. You're back in the black  Cool
Honestly, I would never place a money bet on Como against home Atalanta  Grin It was a real epiphany that you were attracted to this outcome.

^ The results prove you right, and you're not wrong either way -- Athletic are and have been a very good team at home, but I was counting on Celta's resurgence. They're quite exciting to watch now, and I would pick them many more times this season for good value wins away. Hopefully!

Meanwhile, we turn to Italy for tonight's pick. Como yet to win, and Atalanta averaging as many goals as they concede (more than Como actually!), and also quite a unique project to consider. I'm liking the odds here, but because I also like Sassuolo cup odds, let's go for a couple upset!

Arsenal today at 5/1 vs City normally whets my appetite, but they are missing a player I feel has been crucial, so I almost want to say the value in this game is gone. Haaland and KdB fit at home should get 8/1 at least from a battered Arsenal squad who hasn't really been playing well.

Instead, I think Celta Vigo 5/1 away to Athletic is the real deal, so let's, for a change, pad a pretty decent 18/10 value City up on that upset.

Surprisingly, Nottingham are still unbeaten )
As for the bet on Arsenal, it was definitely a value bet, just a few seconds were not enough to win. But for you as a Liverpool fan draw probably still a good result  Wink
I'm not sure that the bet on Celta was justified (easy to say after the game heh), Athletic in my opinion are very strong and stable.

Another utterly misplaced bet apparently in UCL. Either Celtic are better than I think or Bratislava were flattering to deceive. No matter.

OK, so I misjudged Juventus. Very badly. We also failed with Stuttgart v Real, but that was quite literally a toin coss up until after the equaliser... But let's do it again with Celtic, sure they're Scottish champions but Bratislava are at least as tenacious. Surely it's a proper underdog bet?

OK, I had to do it last minute live! PSV have carried on where they left off last season in Eredivisie while Juventus are... neither here nor there. Yes, Dutch league can't compare to Serie A but we have to go somewhere to hunt for value at 5/1 is value to me!

Let's bet against two Italians, shall we?

Holland is a bastard who burned me in fantasy league (I didn't pick him in the early rounds), when will he stop?
As for Liverpool, I have long criticised you for being biased, but here even 12.0 was not good compensation for betting against Liverpool. This result came out of nowhere, neither the international break, nor the new manager nor the "strong new Nottingham" can justify it.

Yeah, before the game, they were relegation strugglers, and Liverpool were red hot, and this was Anfield. It should have been 20/1, eh? Thank you for helping justify my bias against Liverpool Wink Makes me feel not so bad about myself.

Brentford proved tough but Haaland carried City, so we missed out. We also missed out on a similar 12/1 Nott Forest upset against Liverpool, but I never bet against Liverpool, and not at Anfield. Oh well =)

An early bet today because I like the Palmeiras boost (they host second-to-bottom club) and it makes a pretty proposition for Real Madrid to lose -- yes it's a home game and it is Stuttgart, but the Germans have been pretty impressive after staving off relegation, in my opinion, while Real are a bit reliant on Vinicius and Mbappe is throwing a minor spanner into the works. I wonder if German chaos could nick a win? First game of Champions League, why not?

Horrible outcome, and there was no chance at all. Regret not picking Georgia but odds were no longer value. Instead we pick what is perhaps my final Nations League game for this period. Let's also put in an AFCON qualifier. Both tough away games, but in my opinion, winnable.
