Football Betting Thread 25/26 Season

I have just done for this Saturday

Arsenal v Nottingham Forest over 1.5 goals
Atlético Madrid v Villarreal over 1.5 goals

£200 double wins £293.33 so that £500 in open bets no more betting for me antill these come up

   

The South American World Cup qualifying is brutal. Basically a single superleague of teams playing each other home and away. Notoriously difficult to call the matches, let alone the positions in the table.

I think because of the hard and fierce rivalry nature of the competition, many so called lesser footballing countries in South America have become tough and battle hardened. Not to mention taking in to account the varying conditions across the continent from wetlands in the Amazon basin to lung busting altitude in the Andes mountains.

It really is a continent where on their day, anyone can beat anyone. It's too hard to call for me to bet on CONMEBOL qualifying.

At the moment I've gone for a five fold of both teams score for Saturday. I've put the same stake (£2) with two different bookies - Coral and Paddy Power.

Coventry v Norwich, Fulham v Leeds, Stockport v Cardiff, Stoke v Birmingham and Wrexham v QPR.

I may yet decide to add the same bet with Bet365 and place a five fold of other matches with goals on Bet365. At the moment though, I'm sticking with coral and paddy power.

Do there ever give you free bets?

The only online account I have is with bet365 and they do occasionally offer free bets, usually £5 in bet credits. Sometimes they'll give a stake back that lost in bet credits. I've found them loyal and fair to members. They have the best in play markets in my opinion which is a big reason why they're my regular.

With Coral or Paddy Power it's only when I'm passing the shop occasionally when in my nearest city, usually on way to work. I had an online account with Coral but I didn't like the site layout. Didn't find their markets / odds as good either. But I find it handy to step into their shop occasionally.

Coral will give you a nice coffee sometimes aswell when in their shop.

Have done the same five fold both teams score with bet365 aswell.

It's ok as long as there's enough money to pay us all out when it wins.
