Well a good week for me continues waiting on atletico in 10 days for a big double.

Midweek coupon continues Derby +1 Sevilla and Falkirk and Walsall tomorrow

What's everyone going for on the FA cup?

Bet365 have palace at 5/1 to win in 90 minutes which looks tempting.

Paddy are offering 4/1 but are also doing their free in-play bet offer again for the final.

Ladbrokes are refunding all losing bets if both teams score (up to £25)

Think I'm going with Palace to win and btts with paddy at 11/1 (£20 pre-match and then claim the free bet) plus a tenner of palace to win in 90 with bet365.

I'd not begun to look at FA Cup bets, but at those odds i definitely fancy Palace over 90mins. Id have United marginal favourites at very best, or a 50/50 match realistically. So the draw at 90mins wouldnt surprise me but i really think Palace have the perfect style of play to beat ManU in 90mins and a small punt at those odds definitely tempting me.

Pardew has never been about possesion football and doesnt mind defending deep and playing it long & on the break with runners up top. And for me this is the perfect way to nullify United. United lack any tempo and take far too long building an attack so look completely impotent against anyone prepared to sit deep and be well organised defensively. 1-0 or 2-1 to Palace.

Please no more goals in the sc final

Have half time draw full time draw

Also draw with both teams to score

I feel for you. Unlucky

Thanks I have had a good week I shouldn't feel too bad

Unlucky Dundee.

As for the FA cup, I can't back against United but can't see much value in the market for us today, so I've just gone with Fellani to score first @14/1 and Martial to score anytime @ 7/4. Probably should have gone the other way around but there you go....

I don't know where SCOOBY got odds of 11/1 for btts? All I can find is 11/10....?

Edit: My mistake. I see it's a double bet of Palace to win and Btts. As you were.

I've just backed Palace at 4s in 90 mins.
I don't think first goal is as vital as people seem to say in that cliched way today.

Thanks

One of the sc bets have given me a free bet so stuck the fiver on both teams to score and draw at 90 mins.

Also have a bet on palace and both teams to score.

Despite all that I think united will sneak it but there is no value in them

hold your breath !.......

oh well.......you had a good 2 minutes......

Sky Bet are doing a promotion during the Euros. Bet £10 (or more, including £10 each-way) on a team to win the Euros outright and you get a £3 free bet every time that team wins a game. If a team progresses through extra-time or penalties that's classed as a win (so not just in 90 minutes).

https://www.skybet.com/lp/euro-2016-offer

Yes I got that email today as well will take it up.

Didn't read it fully so that is good news about extra time and pens.

Will probably have to go with France or Germany

I'm backing Germany. When England get knocked out I tend to root for Germany anyway, mostly because I'm part-German. Germany are 7/2. Was tempted to go for an outsider, Belgium at 11/1 or Italy at 16/1 preferably. I don't trust Spain enough to back them but 11/2 was definitely tempting.

Yes you would think you will be able to get your money back on free bets with those two. which I will probably use on matches during it

Looks like the 365 in-play offer won't be happening for the Champions League final. Unless it goes up tomorrow at some point, I imagine it's done now until next season.

Paddy are doing theirs! Not as good as the bet365 one but still better than nothing! I will be taking advantage of this if the bet365 one doesn't come off!

http://www.paddypower.com/football/football-matches/champions-league-games/Real-Madrid-v-Atletico-Madrid-10561934.html

It's just been announced that they are doing it! Excellent news.

Yep, one more chance for free money before the season ends. I think there's every chance of this ending in a draw at 90 mins, so I'm thinking of going:

£50 on Real @ 6/4
£50 on the draw at 21/10

Leaving it for a hopefully goaless 20 minutes and then punting on the increased odds for Athletico. But I'll probably panic and bet on them straight after kick-off @ 11/5

What will you guys do?

I used to do BTTS pre-match, then post-match I'd do someone to win or BTTS in the first half. Luckily I wasn't punished for not doing BTTS in the first half as the pre-match bet. Now I'll probably do that as the pre-match bet, then have a proper think about it.

In this case I'll take a leaf out of Treebeard's book and won't be hasty.

And yes, there was a pun in there.

Yes!!!!

The offer link is http://extra.bet365.com/promotions/en/soccer/champions-league-in-play-bet-offer

I'm going for a double chance bet pre-match, £50 on Real Madrid or Draw at 4/11 which will give a profit of £18. The £50 in-play on Atletico Madrid to win at 11/5 which will give a profit of £110.

Either way, can't lose!

Don't forget you can also get double your first deposit bonus and use this as part of the in-play offer if you haven't used this before!

Another one for the euros stick Stan James 20 quid on someone to be top scorer and get a fiver free bet for everytime they score

Excellent news. Will be VERY handy. Looking at what's on offer, because the odds for a draw are so tight at the moment, it's going to be tricky to cover that one for a decent return.

Assuming a bank of £150.

£100 on BTTS in the 1st half "No" will secure you a £12.50 profit but £50 in-play "Yes" will secure you a £150 profit. If you want to nudge that up a tad, Betvictor are offering slightly better odds so the "No" bet would actually get you a £13.33 profit instead.

One way of getting in to double figures, covering all outcomes and staying within 365's T's & C's is this ..

£50 pre-match on the draw at BetVictor for £160
£50 pre-match on Madrid at 365 for £120
£50 in-play on Atletico for £160

Draw or Atletico win nets you £10 profit. A Madrid win nets you £20 quid profit.

The best one for covering the overall outcome that, as i can see at the moment, is ..

£100 pre-match on Madrid/Draw double chance for £136.36
£50 in-play on Atletico for £160.

So Madrid or a draw nets you £36.46 profit or Atletico winning nets you £10 quid.

Obviously, as it stands, BTTS in the 1st half is probably the best bet overall because the £12.50 you'd get if it doesn't happen isn't really that far off what you'd get on any of the other combinations and the "Yes" outcome is a huge profit.

It's only Wednesday (at least for another 12 minutes ) so there's plenty of time to keep an eye on the odds changing, but, as it stands, I'm most likely going to go with BTTS.


Best not to do that actually as the new member offers often have wagering requirements, and you'll only get a maximum of £50 quid refunded anyway.

I'm probably doing BTTS first half but I don't really see the point in having a bank of £150, is an extra £6.50 really worth sacrificing a potential £50?

£50 pre-match on "no" will return £6 profit.

£50 in-play on "yes" will return £200 profit.
