Betting The Price Is Wrong!

Okay, for the last 2 seasons I've endeavoured to copy all my bets into this forum prior to kick off BUT it's proved far too time consuming and also impossible as I place so many "in-running" bets that make it impossible to keep updating thing in here.

This season I'm gonna highlight what I think is the "wrongest" price available for the weekends football. The wrongest price always offers the best chance of making a profit.

I cringe when i go to a bookies and see losers marking their football coupon and sticking down United to beat Hull City, Chelsea to beat Stoke, Man City to beat Palace etc with no regard for the prices.

When I look at a coupon I may have a reasonable idea who i think might win the game but i genuinely look at the prices of all three options (home win, away win or draw) because in many cases I bet on a team I think will lose!

2 of my bigger wins last season were on teams I thought would lose but they both won (unfortunately both against LFC).

I thought we'd beat WBA at home but when i saw WBA were something like 14/1 I had to back them as I estimated their correct price at about 6/1 so in my mind the price was over 100% out! Similarly when we played villa at home and they were 10/1 to win whereas I had priced them at about 5/1. I expected us to win both games but the prices available on Villa and WBA were "too wrong" to ignore.

I rarely bet on any team unless I think the price is 20%+ out of whack with my estimate.

This season I'll highlight what I consider the wrongest price each week, this means we will have many losing bets but overall should make a significant profit.

I'll try and post my tip at least a day before the game but for the first few weeks I'll have to wait until the teams are confirmed at 2:30 on match day because all the teams have so many new players for me to evaluate before I get into my stride.
 
Rochdale are far too short at home to chesterfield. Layed them at 2.16, IMO they should be about 2.6 to win. £120 bet.
 
Rochdale played H'pool
Oops, that's what happens when you're checking 72 team selections in 30 minutes. I was aware of the fact it was Hartlepool when i placed the bet for some daft reason typed in Chesterfield. It was an inauspicious start, Rochade winning 3-0 although the reports from the game suggested Hartlepool missed 2 sitters and a host of other chances either side of Rochdale's first goal.

I expect to lose almost as mant bets as i win on this thread but the theory is that, if I'm right about a 20% "error" in the price, I should finish in profit.

To clarify this I'll do £120 bet each week and over 40 weeks that equates to £4,800 of stake money and in theory should realise a £960 profit i.e. 20% of £4,800.

I might struggle a bit next weekend as I'm kinda getting married but normal service will be resumed the following weekend.
 
Cheers Pete, a bit of a hiatus over the last couple of weeks due to the wedding (10 days in Czech) but I'm back and raring to go.

I did have a nice touch last night; Doncaster @ 8/1 to win at Wigan - I stuck £30 on (I reckon they should have been about 5/1) and traded out for a £170 profit at half time when they were 0-2 up.

I can't log in at home for some reason so I'll PM a Mod to resend my my password and will hopefully get the ball rolling this weekend (I've already spotted what could be some great value 🙂
 
3 X £120 bets this week; laying (betting against) Fleetwood, Derby & Charlton............the prices have changed a bit overnight but I locked in prices on the Charlton & Fleretwood bets a few days ago.

I've layed Fleetwood at 2.34, Charlton @ 2.00 and I'll do Derby at about 2.18

All these prices are at least 20% out.
 
Not doing Yeovil now as the manager has made some bizarre team selections.
 
PSG 1/2 away to Anderlecht.

PSG -1 is 5/4.

Anderlecht were beaten 3-0 in last game by Olympiacos.

That seems a very good price to me.
 
Free money.
Great bet ILD although PSG -4 was the correct call 🙂

I didn't have a bet on any CL games this week, I haven't watched enough of it recently to judge any of the teams.
 
I should have hammered it mate. We only got 90 back as we didn't have that much of a pot left in the PP account but there was an opportunity to wade in here big time.

Still profit is profit.

P$G are worth keeping an eye on. Bookies some reason aren't knocking the prices on them. Gameweek 2 saw them at a huge price again. Same goes for Athletico Madrid. They we're evens -1 against a poor Vienna. Had them both doubled up. Only 8 quid on it though.

Since we haven't qualified regularly for the CL I rarely pay too much attention to it until the knock out stages. I'll keep an eye out for PSG and Atletico from now though; the more decent teams in the competition the less chance United can win it - although watching them under-perform again last night I reckon we've a better chance of winning it this season than them! 🙂
 
Regardless of who they're playing i'll be betting against Swansea everytime they've had a mid week euro game from now on in.
 
@Pesam,

Can you give me some info on Port vale. Playing a team a few division lower than them and are 4/6 for -1.

I haven't seen them play yet this season but I've seen pretty much all their players play regularly during the years.

They are a very dull team to watch as they like to go route one to a big target man i.e. Pope or Lee Hughes. They don't have a lot of pace out wide and therefore Pope/Hughes don't usually get a lot of decent crosses to feed off. They have 2 pacey wingers in the SQUAD Kaid Mohammed and Myrie-Williams but I can't remember a case where they've both started.

If PV were to start tonight with a midfield forward line up of....................

Myrie-Williams...........Loft.......Lines..............Mohammed
..........................Pope/Hughes........Williamson...................

I'd fancy that team to score at least 3 or 4 against such lowly opposition but if the midfield is full of the "usual suspects".................

..............................Griffiths...........................
.................Loft.......................Lines..................
............................Dodds....................
...................Pope/Hughes.....Williamson.............

Then they could struggle to create as many chances.

Overall, you have to fancy PV to cover the -1 handicap due to the gulf in class but just be a bit wary if they start with the 2nd of the 2 line-ups.
 
Just looked at a Port Vale website and apparently Loft is out injured and Mohammed is about to go out on loan so the midfield might be...........

Myrie-Williams.....Lines.....Griffiths.....Dodds
.............Pope/Hughes....Williamson....

They have far too many CM'ers e.g. Loft, Lines, Birchall, Dodds, Griffiths, Birchall etc and very few genuine wide players.

If you're looking for a 1st goalscorer Chris Lines is their best midfielder, takes most of their set pieces and I'm guessing he'll be on penalty duty (not 100% sure about penalties though).
 
Well at least they picked one wide man in Myrie-Williams (they regularly jam 4 cm'ers across the middle). It was odd that they went with the 2 target men, Pope & Hughes, they haven't done that very often.

I assume you did the bet ILD?
 
It was for one of my friends and he did back it. I had been on a bad run so gave the betting a bit of a miss. Your info was enough for him to make the bet anyway. Thanks.
