Swimming against the tide

Nice stuf with Boro although the Liverpool bet was madness if i must say so myself

Good luck with this

[ONEDUNME]

That's the whole point you knob There are plenty who would have said that the Chelsea lay was madness BEFORE the result.

NO AFTER EVENTING IN THIS THREAD PLEASE!!!

[GaNgStA kEeKs]

After eventing?

If you look in the EPL thread you will see clearly stated about giving the Correct Score bet a go in the game with 0-0 and 1-0 mentioned

Kiko - You're great mate but you're missing the point here, so try and think about what I'm saying.

The whole point of this thread is that it will ALWAYS be going against what most people think will happen. That's what it's there for. So having some idiot coming in here every week and saying "I could have told you not to do that bet" is totally pointless and fucking irritating.

If it was some newbie I'd be annoyed but you should really know better.

[GaNgStA kEeKs]

Sorry mate.

Have just re read what i originally wrote nd it did come across very dick-ish and it wasn't intendedtoo. Was just meant to wind you up a little bit.

Good luck

[ONEDUNME]

Phew thank fuck for that.



Thanks mate

Good call on that Chelsea result mate .

You should have gone against my Bangor one as they fcuked me completely.

I'll keep an eye on this thread and good luck.

Thanks mate

Can I ask everyone to refrain from telling me what a stupid bet this is but I think there could be a few goals in the Arsenal Liverpool game so I'm going for 2 or 3 goals at 10/11, 11 points. I was tempted to take the 2.44 on OVER 2 goals at betfair but my bottle's gone.

I can see a nice little 1-1 result tonight.

[ONEDUNME]

Ten points down again but I'm on the over 2.5 goals in the Spurs V Wigan game, 2.38 before com' 10 points.

[ONEDUNME]

Mmm just noticed that the referee in the Spurs game is Useless Rennie which means that the bookings are expected to be low. He is reluctant to get his cards out nowadays since being relegated from the Premiership a few years ago for being a card-happy useless prick. Consequently, the booking expectations are low, hence me LAYING less than 3 cards on betfair at evens.

In other words I want 3 bookings or more to win.

10 points

[ONEDUNME]

Bank stands at 496.90

Lay the less than 3 bookings for +10 (after com') or -9.3 in the chelsea colchester game

[ONEDUNME]

Blimey I forgot about this thread. Last one was a loser, so bank stands at

487.6pts

I wouldn't normally count an even money favorite as "swimming against the tide" but as I've trawled through the Premiership thread and nobody fancies their chances, I'm including it.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not confident but sooner or later Villa have got to turn the corner and I just can't see the baggies winning there today and as Villa are 11/10 on betfair, I'll stick 40 of the bank's points on them to win.

A few comments from the prem thread and I'll repeat that I'm not saying that any of these points aren't valid, I'm really just putting them up to back up the point that this bet is a valid SATT (swimming against the tide) bet.

Quotes

I've always shaded the Albion above the Blues for getting out tbh, as theyre only where they expected to be all along so their morale gets less damaged, as it were.... the same applies to Villa as per the same argument for the Blues, & I really think we're in trouble here.
If all the players Broms mentions are out, Villa are unbackable, simple as
Theyre in freefall & theres subplots around the place, as in DOLs war with the 'Evening Mail'....& none of it helps.

I dont see Villa winning here, & I might have a small punt on 1-1 again......but I fear for Villa here. The advantage is that being a sunday game, Birmingham may already have lost meaning a point isnt a disaster for either side....but if Blues win at Wigan I can see Albion throwing the kitchen sink & 'weak' Villa folding under the pressure.


and

WBA to score a surprise UPset over Villa. But a scored draw is also possible. They were not Sharp and missed many clear chances in their previous games

and

Villa's defence is still looking very dodgy. Cahill and Ridgewell at the heart of things. Barry also missing from the midfield won't help either.

The Baggies have two big players back in their ranks. Gera is class by West Brom's standards and Quashie should also be a reason for improvement.

I think West Brom are worth a modest punt at 3.75.

Bank at 447.6

I know everyone's going to think I'm mad and you don't have to list the reasons why I probably am but, to be honest, 9/1 against a team thats in the relegation zone is just plain stupid. I don't care how shit Sunderland have been and the fact that they haven't won away all season, any team can cause an upset against any other over 90 minutes and with Pompey under pressure and Sunderland free from pressure, I'm happy to take Pompey on.

20 pts invested 5 on the win at 9/1 and 15 on the draw at 4/1.Both betfair.
