The Betting Slip - share your winning bets!

So far so good, it's 0-0 at half time. It's true that Man City are dominating the game but they are looking fairly sluggish in attack so I believe that they would be quite lucky to win this one. I hope luck will be on my side and not on theirs ;)

Damn it, Man City did get lucky... They scored a rather flukey corner kick goal shortly after the hour mark and then Aston Villa missed two immense chances in the last three minutes of the game. Back to the drawing board...

You were unlucky Johnny! Aston Villa had its chances.

Yeah, unfortunately they started pushing forward when it was too late.

Better luck for your next bet Johnny.  What a shame and I really thought you were going to get this one.

Don't be sad. Today's valentine day. Try another bet then u will get lucky :)

I'm not sad, don't worry. It takes a lot more than a lost bet to make me sad ;)

It's time to make up for last week's loss! Or so I hope :)

I decided to go for a combo bet today on three soccer games, one from the Italian Serie A and two from the English FA Cup.

AC Cesena v AC Milan - AC Milan to win

Milan have just demolished Arsenal 4-0 in the Champions League and they need a victory today in order to stay close to Serie A leaders Juventus. Cesena are not showing good form at all and I think Milan will clinch the three points today.

Liverpool FC v Brighton & Hove Albion - Liverpool FC to win

The Reds have already beaten Brighton in the Carling Cup earlier in the season and I think they will do that again today.

Stevenage Borough v Tottenham Hotspur - Tottenham Hotspur to win

The Spurs have lost just once in their last 33 matches against lower league teams. League One side Stevenage is in good form, no doubt about that, but I don't think they will be able to avoid defeat today.

Here's the betting slip from Sports Interaction:

Good luck Johnny although I have to say I'll be hoping that Liverpool are defeated by Brighton!

blue

Thanks Blue. Here's a quick situation report:

Cesena vs Milan 0-3 (30 mins to go)

Stevenage vs Tottenham  0-0 (30 mins to go)

Liverpool vs Brighton will start a bit later.

Well, Milan defeated Cesena but Stevenage held Tottenham to a goalless draw so the bet is lost. My information said that Tottenham were going to field a full strength side but that wasn't the case, their manager decided to experiment and that backfired as the Spurs played a totally lame match. Brighton can beat Liverpool now, they have my support as well :)

What a disappointment Johnny.  

Glad you're supporting Brighton now  8) and thank you. ;)

Oh dear.  They lost 6:1.

Yep, I knew it :)

I guess we both knew it would happen.  Apparently, they played really well but clearly not well enough!

I do have some ideas but I think I'll wait for the weekend again, that's when I get a bit more time to think :)

Yeah, you need to receive our positive energy and change that - into +.  :)

I'm trying my luck on soccer again, on English soccer again to be more accurate. But this time we're talking about the Premier League.

I've placed a combo bet on two games, one will be played today and another one tomorrow.

Saturday - Manchester City v Blackburn Rovers - Manchester City to win

This should be won quite comfortably by the Citizens, they have to win it in order to remain top of the table and I doubt that 17th placed Balckburn will cause any problems.

Sunday - Arsenal FC v Tottenham Hotspur - Over +2.5 goals scored

This one is a bit more special, it's the North London Derby and it's an important game for any Arsenal fan like me. However, the Gunners are in terrible shape at the moment, the whole season seems to be going awfully wrong and I confess that my initial intention was to bet on a Tottenham win. I just couldn't do that though so I went for something else, I bet that there will be at least three goals scored. And that's because my only hope is that Arsenal will put up a good fight and lose the game in style.

Here's the betting slip from Sports Interaction:

Good luck! I will restrain myself from any comments before the matches. :)

More than 3 goals - do you think this is a tall order Johnny?  If Arsenal will be fighting (defending) perhaps there will be no time for them to score goals and if they defend successfully, it might well be goaless.

I hope you got it right and I wish you the best of luck. 

blue

From what I've seen this season Arsenal can't defend well even if they try, and Tottenham is a mighty good team. So I think that Tottenham will score at least twice but Arsenal should score at least a goal, and that's because they will try harder in the derby.

Half of the bet went well, Man City eased past Blackburn 3-0, as expected.

The other half is the tricky one though ;)

Good luck for tomorrow!  I hope you win this bet.

1-0 Tottenham just 4 minutes into the game! I guess my bet is on track :)

2-0 Tottenham on 34 minutes! Come on Gunners, fight back now! ;)

Yes! Arsenal fought back and score not once but twice before half time! My bet is won and Arsenal are back in with a shout, that makes for a perfect Sunday afternoon :)

A nice result.  Congrats to you (and Arsenal of course).

blue

Final score: Arsenal 5 Tottenham 2. Brilliant! :)

Congrats! I didn't expect that much goals, but this was a good weekend for you.  :-bd

Here we go again, I have another "Soccer Sunday" bet! :) This time I decided to bet on three games, one is a bit risky and the other two seem already in the bag.

The most important match of the day is Tottenham vs Manchester United from the English Premier League, a match between the 3rd and 2nd placed teams in the current league table. Tottenham got demolished last week by Arsenal, 5-2, while Man United grabbed a narrow 2-1 win at Norwich. Both teams seem to have problems at the back, their defences look quite shaky, but both sides have excellent and in form players in attack. I don't know who will win the game but I bet that there will be at least 3 goals in it.

Then I chose a safe bet on a Spanish league match, Real Madrid will take on Espanyol tonight and I'm quite sure that Real will win.

Last but not least I picked a match from the Dutch top flight where Ajax will meet Roda at home, everything seems to suggest an easy victory for Ajax.

Here's the betting slip from Sports Interaction:

It will be a nice return if you pull this off Johnny.

Good luck.

blue

Some interesting picks you got there.  :) Good luck!

Man Utd lead 1-0 at half time, Wayne Rooney scored moments before the break. Hope to see another two goals in the second half now...

Man United leads 3-0 now, 21 minutes to go but that part of the bet is already won.

Ajax defeated Roda 4-1 so now my bet depends on Real Madrid winning tonight, I hope they will ;)

I hope they will too Johnny.

it is going well! ;) Let's wait until the end.

Real Madrid leads 5-0 with 8 minutes left so I guess it's safe to say that I've got a winning bet :)

You'll be back in the black before no time.  That was a great result and a brilliant bet Johnny.  So glad you pulled it off. 

So.....officially a mini streak?

Great result Johnny! Congrats!

So.....officially a mini streak?

I guess so :) My target for this week is to get the balance in green ;)

I hope you succeed.  Will be great to see.

Since the last soccer bets have gone well I decided to go for another soccer bet on Sunday but this time there are no English teams involved. It's a combo bet on two games, one from Italy and one from Spain.

Novara v Udinese - Udinese to win

Udinese don't have a great track record away from home but Novara is one of the weakest teams in the Italian Serie A so I believe that Udinese, who are fighting to finish in the top 3, will clinch the win today. It is a rather risky bet though because Novara will surely park the bus in an attempt to grab a point but I guess the odds (1.90 for an Udinese win) are worth the risk.

Racing Santander v Barcelona - Barcelona to win

This one is a bit safer, Barcelona have beaten Bayer Leverkusen 7-1 in the Champions League this week and I doubt that Racing will have any chance against Messi and company tonight.

Here is the betting slip from Sports Interaction:

So, if I win this my balance will go in green for the first time this year, I surely hope that it will happen.

A green balance would be wonderful Johnny.  Best of luck with your bet - if you win it will be a streak!

blue

you got this one wrapped up johnny!  good luck

Good luck Johnny! I hope you get your balance in green this week.

Racing 0 Barcelona 2

Novara vs Udinese will start around an hour from now.
