Did Anthony martial each way 33/1 win the paddy power bet.

It's quite an uncertain season as most of the big names didn't have very good euros or copa America in some cases.

If it's as competitive as predicted I also think a much lower number may win top scorer than the usual 25 or so, that's why each way sounded better value

Thought I'd post my season bets in case they come up

(or to be embarrassed come May....)

Rooney top g/s with PP ew for 6 places on their free bet offer

ew lucky 15

Chelsea 11/2
Norwich 6/1
Bolton 10/1
Luton 8/1

and a just for fun top goalscorer bet on the 4 divisions

ew lucky 15

Aguero 7/2
Glenn Murray 10/1
Leon Clarke 10/1
Izzale McLeod 14/1


and my main bet of Stoke to finish in front of Crystal Palace in a season match bet at 8/11 which , if it wins, covers all of the above

All of the above with Hills

I get the feeling you and Mrs Doo have a few accounts open

Ok here's what i'm doing with the bet365 offer:

£50 on Arsenal pre-match @6/4 with Will Hill

£50 on Pool @ 21/10 pre-match

£50 on the draw around halfway through first half or after first goal whichever comes first @ roughly 5/2 - 4/1

If Arsenal win I get £25 profit, Pool is £55, Draw is £25.

Am open to other suggestions...
Aside from BTTS, i think you've actually got the best possible spread there.

My tip to do the bet365 offer is 50 pre game in over 0.5 goals. Then immediately in play 50 on btts first half.

Are there any good pre season offers apart from the paddy power top scorer one.

First bet of the season for me is a sizeable wager on Leicester to beat Hull at 5/6. That Hull team is dreadful with injuries galore and no investment. Hull should lose by a couple goals at least.

The problem with that is that if the match finishes 0-0 then you lose £50 quid.

If there's any other result that doesn't involve BTTS in the 1st half then your profit is only £2.50.

If you really want to do BTTS in the 1st half, put £50 each on "yes" and "no".

"No" pre-match returns £60 quid + your £50 in-play for £10 profit.
"Yes" in-play will return £216.66 for a £116.66 profit.

If you want to even things out with a decent all-round profit that also keeps within the T's & C's, then follow Makosi's instructions in post #99.

If anyone has given the sun's new betting site a go, they're doing a boost on the City/Sunderland game with City to win by 3 goals or more at 2/1 with a maximum bet of £20 quid.

I did the other day but they said they wanted a scanned id and utility bill to verify me.

Wasn't going to that trouble

Well thanks Leicester for ruining my acca...

Them and three others.

Only Man City came through for me. Not a good start so far, so Liverpool need to do me proud and let one in, while also scoring, in the first half.

Got Liverpool/Arsenal and Bournemouth/Man United on a BTTS first half double. I'm gonna win a BTTS first half double at some point this season.

I'm almost glad that bet lost then

I've had so much trouble over the years verifying myself to various places because I don't have a passport or driving licence. The utter confusion of some people i've dealt with because I don't have those documents can get weirdly entertaining

Hills doing their Special again this time on Bournemouth/Man U and Arsenal/Chelsea

7+ Goals, 24+ Corners And 10+ Cards Over Both Matches 9/1 with £10 freebet for one right and £20 freebet for 2 right

Appalling odds. I'd want at least 25/1 for those outcomes

Can imagine the sun have my details from various things but i think the problem is that my address format seems to vary from database to database .p

So just sticking with the ones I have.

Today's effort

Bournemouth +1
Arsenal
QPR+1
Oxford +1

11/1 ish

Good timing........I had a bet on Man Utd just before they scored

Got Evens

Now lets see if they can hang on

I've had a bit of a bad run on the gee geess and my betting bank is down to the bare bones so a win would be handy......

With the highlights and live games so far the football seems pretty defensive .

Just wondering if under 2.5 goals bets might be the way to go with a lot of prem games

Something tells me you didn't lay a bet on Leciester last season?

Thank you Coutinho! BTTS first half bet sorted literally at the end of the half.

I haven't placed my in-play bet yet. I think I'll do it on BTTS second half. I'm not that confident of it though.

hope you stuck with that plan !

what sort of odds do you get for both teams to score in a half ?

I did. After Liverpool went 3-1 up I was thinking Arsenal wouldn't come through for me.

I got it at 2/1 at half-time.

nice one !

must admit that I only ever look at Win odds......I suppose that comes with mainly being a horse backer and years of concentrating on finding the winner
