So, let's brag about the bets!
Cheers,
The SBC Team!
The bet I I am proud of is from the Rayo Vallecano - Sevilla, because I feel I had read the possibilites much better than the bookies. The odds were not too high with 2.10, but I had no doubt at all Sevilla would win (they won with a clear 1-4). I only regret not have gone for a handicap bet.
All wins with odds above 2 can be considered a great bet!
I only pick the asian handicap if it would bring the odds above 2!
I won 2 incredible bets last week.
My best bet was taking Club Brugge -0.5 @ 5.33 late on a 0-1 score with low stakes instead of going for the +0 option for bigger stakes. I won the money I would have lost otherwise since Antwerp scored the 1-1 a bit after.
What I do like about it, is that you are always looking at the bigger picture.
Some people don't understand that one but on the favorite could be worse, than 10 small bets on the underdogs!
Due to the odds the underdogs could make you a profit in the long term.
Yes it's insane how many people like these 1.35-1.5 type of odds just because they feel like a winner because there is a high chance of winning while losing one of those bets bets quickly digs a hole that needs multiple winning bets to be even again. Also these kind of bets lose so frequently.
Guess it is time to write an article about how high the strike rate has to been compared to the odds you are playing.
People do forget that it is all about the odds. But I have to be honest and I never was so serious about betting then now, all thanks to the SBC community!
Although I only bet tiny stakes, it feels like gambling my complete wage!
I would not say so categorically. I know some people who place several bets during the month for such odds (1.2-1.3) and they always beat the bookies. But amount of their bets is 5000 EUR and higher!!!
I know you meant amateurs, but still...
My best bet was yesterday (20/08/2018), Asian Games Group F final matches, to decide which teams can progress to knockout stage.
Before match Group League Table
Those matches are Iran vs Myanmar & North Korea vs Saudi Arabia in which both matches were kicked off at the same time.
The main focus of these matches was none of team would like to face South Korea in knockout stage, but unfortunately if the team got the first place of the match, they need to face South Korea.
After finishing first half, North Korea has scored 2 goals to Saudi Arabia. But the match of Iran was still 0-0.
At this moment, Iran previously expected Saudi Arabia could win North Korea in an easy way, but they calculated wrong. Then the first 6 minutes in second half proved it. North Korea scored the third goals against Saudi Arabia.
Iran just thought they have "secured" the first place. Holy! Need to face South Korea, but not Bangladesh or China.
It is the time for me to get in and bet Iran will lose. Iran will not "surrender" in the race of not chasing the first place. They need to lose.
Right after 5 minutes of North Korea goals, Myanmar scored one goal against Iran. Nobody expected this happen.
And that's still not enough for Iran. They needed to lose more. So I bet Asian handicap (-1.75) on Myanmar (fishy odd). At the same time, North Korea ans Saudi Arabia also noticed the action of Iran, they rather not scored any more, so I bet Asian total 4.0 on them (still a fishy odd indeed!).
After 10 minutes, Iran really lost one more goals to Myanmar. Now Iran 0-2 Myanmar, North Korea 3-0 Saudi Arabia.
But now Iran could not afford to lose one more, or they could be eliminated instead. Iran got trapped! At the same time, no further goal in North Korea vs Saudi Arabia match.
That's one of my favourite moment of this week. Thank you.
Excellent bet-story! It would be funny if Myanma scored one more goal)
That was some great analysis @lovetaxi005!
Well done!
My best bet in the past week was the draw between Waasland and Sint Truiden.
All indicators just shouted out that it would become a draw.
And yes the draw did land! The odds were 3.666.
Cheers,
Peter
Congrats. I'm looking for some draw bets for this week too, hope too have a good eye for it like you did
Good shot! Odds for draw always high and it is very good if you catch that
The bet I i'm pleased with is from the Rayo Vallecano - city, as a result of I feel I had browse the possibilites far better than the bookies. the chances weren't too high with two.10, however I had little question in any respect city would win (they won with a transparent 1-4). I solely regret not have gone for a handicap bet.
My best bet was the one I didn't place.
Can't argue with that, it is the easiest and most secure way not to loose any money :)
With me this happens quite often)
My bet of the week was chelsea win against arsenal.
I never doubt chelsea will win but when arsenal equalise my heart was beating fast but in the i still win
Well done! But I will not upvote it, the post was clear. Please do not upvote your own comment and let the community decide :(
Cheers,
Peter
