One question. When in-play results go against you and it's almost certain you will lose do you spread the loss equaly on all outcomes or you try to speculate a bit more ...
[/quote]

If I've done about 5 bets and 4 of them are looking almost certain to win and one is losing then sometimes I'll spread the loss of the losing bet as I'll be making a decent profit from the others.

Regularly, if I strongly fancy a team but they concede early, I'll back them again and a much better price (i.e. increase my liability) in the belief they will still come back. Last season I fancied Scunthorpe to surprise the top team QPR (at Scunthorpe) and layed QPR for about £200 at about 1.8. QPR scored early and their price went to 1.33ish and I put another £200 against QPR. When Scunthorpe equalised I then sold a bit of the bet and left the rest ride.......final score Scunthorpe 4-1 QPR and I won over £340.

Thanks for answer. Last night, I backed Barca at 1.7 after they conceded but didn't trade out and then came the 90th minute equalizer.

Unlucky Redsar. I also had a bet when they went 1-0 down but sold it for a profit after they equalised. I never feel too confident betting on the Champions League because I don't watch a lot of European football if we're not involved.

£17 Cody McDonald 1st goalscorer v Ipswich @ 12/1

 

[Pesam]

Medium lay of Middlesbro winning tonight at Crystal Palace @ 2.32.

99% of the time I wait for the confirmed line-ups before placing my bet but the current lay price of Middlesbro (2.32) is just too damned attractive and I don't think I will be able to avail of this price later so am taking a chance that the team line-ups will be similar to what they were when these 2 teams played each other at the weekend.

Edit: Also...............

Small lay of Villa beating Bolton @1.75
Small lay of Aldershot beating Rochdale @ 2.14
£18 Ross McCormack 1st goalscorer versus Man United @ 12/1

 

[Pesam]

People reading too much into Middlesbro's victory at Palace at the weekend and the price is way too low so my MEDIUM lay is now a LARGE lay of Middlesbro winning at 2.32

 

[Pesam]

On a wing and a prayer...................£2 @ 130/1 Leeds and Man Utd to draw (currently half time 0-3)

 

[Pesam]

My liability on Palace losing was over £600 so now that they have the lead I've layed some back and now have a liability of £127 and a profit of £372 on Palace or the draw.

Edit: 2-1 now and I'm laying a bit more (a few quid at a time).........liability now £51 with a potential profit of £363

[/quote]

I've bet against us winning. I think we probably will win but the price was crazy i.e. 1/5 us winning the game with 40 minutes to go and Brighton playing well - ht eprice should have been about 1/3.

 

[Pesam]

Brighton 0-2 Leeds after 37minutes. I've layed Leeds winning £25 to win £100 i.e. price of 1.25

 

[Pesam]

1-2 after 48 minutes. No liability now and potential profit on a brighton win or draw is £67

 

[Pesam]

Medium lay of Crawley winning at Aldershot at 2.4
Small lay of Reading winning at Coventry @ 2.38
Small bet on Cheltenham to beat Hereford @ 1.81
Small bet over 2.5 goals in Doncaster V Palace game @ 2.12
Small lay of MK Dons winning at Bury @ 2.2

 

[Pesam]

Medium lay of Cardiff beating Leicester @ 2.36

 

[Pesam]

0-0 with 20 minutes to go so I'm going to start laying off my liability.

Liability now £150 with £220 potential profit.
Finished laying off...........liability now £73 with potential profit £200.

Soccer / Norwich v Sunderland : First Goalscorer 26-Sep-11 20:00 26-Sep-11 20:59 -39.00 (* £6 of this loss is from my 3% challenge)

Although this shows a £48 loss I am going to treat it as a £108 loss as some how I inadvertantly didn't place the bet that I advised on Tuesday (small lay of Reading winning at Bristol City) which lost. I suppose I must have layed the price but hadn't noticed that my bet was not "matched" by anyone. In reality it was a lucky escape but in the context of this thread I want the total to be judged on bets that I advise.

Bank now at £740
