IT'S been said there's more chance of aliens landing on earth than Barcelona losing to Cordoba in the Spanish Cup tonight.

The Nou Camp giants beat the second-tier minnows 2-0 away in the first leg and are expected to increase their advantage despite fielding a generally reserve team.

Barca are no bigger than 1-10 to win and it's difficult to work out what handicap they'll cover with the tie already in the bag.

One star who will play is David Villa who has been linked with a move away from Spain. The World Cup star is 7-2 at Paddy Power to score first and I'll definitely be on him at 4-5 with BetVictor to net at any time.

Atletico Madrid take a 3-0 lead to Getafe and again will field a weakened team so I'm leaving it alone. Look at Mallorca who won 2-1 at Sevilla last night after a 5-0 home defeat.

Real Betis are short but not too short at 1-2 with BetVictor and William Hill to beat Las Palmas after a 1-1 draw away. The home men need to put on a show after losing their last home game to Zaragoza and I can see them winning by at least two (23-20, Coral).

In England the one game is a Johnstone Paint Trophy semi-final first leg between Coventry and Preston.

At this stage of the tournament you'll normally see full teams being put out because the next stage is a Wembley final and a bit of cash.

The Sky Blues are just 1-2 at Blue Square to qualify but are in a degree of disarray with boss Mark Robins being linked to the Doncaster job and star man David McGoldrick leaving after a loan spell that seen him net 16 goals in 22 games.

Robins has replaced McGoldrick with Leon Clarke who had been on loan at Scunthorpe and he is 11-2 at bet365 to bang in the opener.

Clarke's a decent signing but not as good as McGoldrick and if the Robins' rumours affect the players there is every chance of Preston returning to Deepdale on level terms or even in front.

My Tuesday and Wednesday Super Singles were draw no bet – with Bradford winning and AC Milan drawing over 90 minutes – and I'm going for a third in a row.

Preston are a best 3-1 at William Hill and BetVictor to win tonight while draw no bet pays 15-8 at Paddy Power.

The draw itself returns 13-5 at BetVictor and bet365 while Coventry are 21-20 at Coral.

Recommendations

Preston draw no bet
(15-8, Paddy Power)

Villa to score
(4-5, BetVictor)

Real Betis -1
(23-20, Coral)

    I think i will go over 1.5 in the betis match, also thinking over 2.5 in the barca match and over 1.5 in the coventry game. But not sure if the last 2 game r 2 risky

    • Mr Fixit 11 years ago

      Robbie, I can see over 1.5 in all three. Even at half pace you’d think Barca have a good chance of netting three against Cordoba who of course may net themselves.

  2. usa man 11 years ago

    coventry 1-1 draw

  3. Craig alves 11 years ago

      http://www.gg.com/forum/topic.php?id=140609

    • James 11 years ago

      Cockney Sparrow returned at 1/6. How did you manage to lay it at 2/1?

    • Milesey 11 years ago

      sorry i layed it at 1/4 this morning and went off at a betfair sp of 1/8………… that was a typo, now i understand why you didn’t get what i was saying about laying off a Favourite, my apologies !

  10. AC 11 years ago

    Gone with 2 singles and a double on two outsiders that I fancy could do it today.

    CATTERICK

    1.45 Harrys Whim @ 10/1

    • AC 11 years ago

      Forgot to mention my bet above is E/W!

    • Milesey 11 years ago

      Where’s your Harry’s Whim hahaha ?

      IT’S LAGER TIME !

    • AC 11 years ago

      haha anyone can back 6 favourites everyday pal ;)

    • Milesey 11 years ago

      Favourites don’t always come in, it’s spotting when to lay them off….. and Love you Louis wasn’t a FAV !

    • AC 11 years ago

      haha Lager Time was a massive favourite in a 4 horse race? … the odds were terrible

    • Milesey 11 years ago

      8/11 when i got on last night, thats not terrible if all 4 come in !

      Cockney sparrow that went in the 12.40 catterick, opened last night @4/7, cut all the way in to 1/8 this morning.

    • AC 11 years ago

      still not great thou but like you said today you are just trying to get your strike rate back up, so fair play and good luck with the rest.

      Had a proper mull over some other races and going to turn my luck around and go for;

      2.45 Catterick Sea Lord

      3.35 Wolves Canary Wharf

      4.35 Wolves Poet’s Prospect

  11. Milesey 11 years ago

    Lingfield
    2.55 BUSSA

    This horse has always been great for me, i can see it at 4/5 5/6 at the moment. Looking at Betfair 17/20 at the moment, but can see money coming elsewhere. Trying to hit it at evens, for then i’ll be lumping on.

  12. usa man 11 years ago

    ac how do you rate ur 1.55 tip scale 1to 10 for each way.

    • AC 11 years ago

      I don’t understand what you mean usa man?

  13. AC 11 years ago

    you better check your I love loius bet .. was a dead heat and the result has been amended.

    Yeah Bussa is the favourite and should do it, Kirby is pilot as well.

    Reginald Claude at 11/2 looks interesting but Bussa will most prob win it, if you can get it at evens that would be a touch.

    • Milesey 11 years ago

      It was a dead heat for 2nd, Louis won easy !

    • Milesey 11 years ago

      2nd place was a dead heat !

    I would have said BUSSA, so good job i’m late in posting a reply for it finished 2nd, getting beaten on the line, had doubts for was dropped down to 6f from 7f, but BUSSA has always had the speed. I’d never personally bet against BUSSA, next run it will back to 7f !

      £190.65 profit on the lucky 15.

      not really any profit today though in reality,

      Started with a lay on cockney sparrow, and was laying also in play, so done okay on that.

      but with my double, treble and a lump on BUSSA i’m actually out of pocket again hahaha, and that’s where i’m going to leave it today.

      Got preston @3/1 tonight !

  21. mickyd 11 years ago

    With the introduction of a proven striker in Joe Garner Preston will be a different proposition than of late , scoring goals as been there problem recently and Garner has been brought in todo just that Joe Garner 1st goal 8/1 bet365

    • Milesey 11 years ago

      Don’t worry I’m on a Preston WIN @3/1.

    I don’t know whether to chase my losses and lump on Preston or just lick my wounds and come back another day … my head says the latter of the two options

    • Mr Fixit 11 years ago

      AC, it’s up to you but you have many more optionsat the weekend than just focusing on Preston.

    • AC 11 years ago

      yeah i’m going to leave it for tonight had a bad two days.

  25. James 11 years ago

    Hi Milesey, Cockney Sparrow returned at 1/6. How did you manage to lay it at 2/1?

    • Milesey 11 years ago

      do you know how to use betfair ?

      especially laying of favourites ?

      It was a Favourite @1/8 on betfair sp, so that is to back the horse, it’s a big negative, so going against this (laying it), so your saying it won’t win, will be a positive !

      In this particular race you could have taken on the field @5/1. For it was such a short priced Favourite.

      tip for you
      http://www.betangel.com/

    • Milesey 11 years ago

      Or use a BETFAIR BOT, i shouldn’t really be telling you this but oh well…. there are a number out there, but you have to pay for them, i don’t know of any free ones that are actually any good, My poker Bot i had used to make me a mint, thats until the software changes and now you need a newer version and they don’t all work for all sites.

    • James 11 years ago

      Cheers

  26. Knottsy 11 years ago

    So how does it work milesey? You back a horse early doors at say 1/2, knowing it will come way down in price to say 1/6 or 1/7, then back against it (lay it off?) then youre in a win win situation?

    • Milesey 11 years ago

      12.40 Catterick
      Cockney sparrow opened up last night at 4/7 to win, take that as your insurance really backing it to win, this morning it got backed in all the way to 1/8, so it’s a hot favourite, no point backing anything at 1/8, you have 4/7 to win. Now you can lay it off for it’s been backed right in…… and if i had the 4/7 to win bet i would now be looking to trade that bet out.

      Veloce the otherday, went off at 8/15, at the last 4 went down to 1/50 to win, was 10 lengths in front… 2nd had already given up, but buffalo balet in 3rd was coming, Veloce only a 2mile horse, stoped at 2mile 2 and the 3rd place horse took both and won the race and was 999/1 in running.

    • Milesey 11 years ago

      I wouldn’t advice anyone to start laying, trading etc…. if you don’t know what your doing, thats just throwing money at something, and remember betfair take a 5% commission, so even though their sp’s are far greater then anyone else out there, you pay a commission on any winnings.

      You lay the favourite at 3 (2/1) for £2, if the horse loses you win £1.90. If the horse won you would pay out £4.

      You can lose alot of money if you don’t know what your doing, and don’t understand the markets. Betfair is exactly like a stock exchange, you should know when to trade out, or when to just cash and run !

  27. Peter Brown 11 years ago

    Preston @15/4

    David VIlla 1st goal @10/30

    2 singles and a double!

  28. Milesey 11 years ago

    Most punters are greedy; this greed clouds their view of what to realistically expect in return from bets. They spend virtually no time on the selection process, and are falsely overconfident considering they lack the knowledge needed to back up their decisions. They back big prices, because of their attachment to money, or don’t see that these bets realistically have no chance of being successful with any consistency.

    Their obsession with money means that they don’t look any further than the 15/1 shot winning them £75 off their £5 stake

  29. robbie 11 years ago

    Would u go over 1.5 in the athletico game or wait for the other games? Cheers mate

  30. Mat H 11 years ago

    Get on atletico 13/20 in play got a strong team out n getafe down to 10 men

  31. Milesey 11 years ago

    Actually that was you , you f***king nob, but it’s fine the site admin have your ip address and will be in contact, what an idiot you really are, you really do show your true clours.

    where the hell are your tips anyway ?

    All i ever see is sh*t from you ?

    who you on tonight with your hundreds of punds for first goal scorer ?

    You have really shown yourself to be the nob you really are !

    • Milesey 11 years ago

      I’m not saying no more for it’s just not worth it…..

      Mr ChrisGuy you are one sad pathetic loser that you have to come on another site and start abusing me.

      as i say where are your tips ?

      £100 torres first goal scorer
      £100 torres last goal scorer
      £400 torres hat trick

      You are one sad pathetic little boy !

  32. Knottsy 11 years ago

    Ok thanx milesey makes a wee bit more sense, but just a wee bit lol. As someone whose been gambling for a number of years, starting to turn some profit (not massive amounts but a few grand a year), and betting decent amounts of cash i’m always looking at different betting markets and other ways to gamble. Was thinking a betting exchange might suit me but will have to learn a bit more before i dive in.

  33. Milesey 11 years ago

    You start a personal attack on me on http://www.gg.com , then you run on here for some sort of satisfaction telling everyone, your a JOKE MAN !

    I’ve never known anything like this bloke…… you have a problem, you need help !

    MrChrisGuy, take your £100’s you keep putting on these goal scorers and go and get yourself some help !

    • Milesey 11 years ago

      I apologise to you Mr Fixit, for this rubbish once again on your site, this bloke isn’t right in the head !

    • Mr Fixit 11 years ago

      Milesey, I’ll have a look. If it’s Chris it’s disappointing and unnecessary. Hoped the slanging matches were finished.

    • Milesey 11 years ago

      me too, wasn’t expecting that abusive personal attack, admin have taken it down, and have taken the ip address of Mr Chrisguy. He was even stupid enough at the end of his post to say this is pay back from mrchrisguy, then i looked on here and seen he has been bragging about his attack on me on gg.com….. something seriously wrong with this bloke.

    • Mr Fixit 11 years ago

      Milesey, if you email me the ip address I can get admin to check it out.

    • Milesey 11 years ago

      You would have to go through http://www.gg.com for that, for they are the ones with the ip address and have contacted who ever it was about the abuse and banned them from the site !

      You shouldn’t have to deal with this stupidness, we are supposed to be grown up, the attacks on people shouldn’t even take place, for there is no need for it at all, as i say follow the tips you like and ignore the ones you don’t. It’s simple.

      I think it’s just pathetic how i got abused on gg.com, then i look on here and Mr Chris Guy is going on about the abuse i am taking on gg.com when it was him doing so and clearly in his posts on there was pointing out other arguments we had in the past like they are locked away in his memory !

      Nevermind !

    • Mr Fixit 11 years ago

      Milesey, I’ll have a word with admin.

  34. JB 11 years ago

    Kallithea 2 up but Getafe 0-0 and down to 10 hoping they can pull it out the bag

  35. Ciaran 11 years ago

    Milesey, Bussa is planned to run tomoro over 7 furlongs in the 4.00 at Wolverhampton. Currently 5/4

    • Milesey 11 years ago

      Cheers for that mate, will defiantely be on !

  36. alex walker 11 years ago

    milesey dont stop puttin up the tips you think! Not many guys could do the tips chris guy puts up anyway! Keep them coming mate!

  37. Ross 11 years ago

    Betway again!!

    I’ve deposited £100 but its been divided up??
    £80 in cash balance
    £20 in bonus balance ??? WTF??

    They are in effect stealing my cash without me even having placed a bet!! Unbelievable!

    Mr fixit can you explain what’s going on here please??

    Cheers

    • Mr Fixit 11 years ago

      Ross, no idea I’m afraid. You will need to contact them because obviously that’s a mistake.

  38. Mr Chris Guy 11 years ago

    Milesey this is Mr Chris Guy. There is no need to fire abuse at me. I have never been onto the gg site in my life. Also the above comment by “Chris guy” is not me. Honestly I know we have had our run ins but someone is acting the clown here. That ain’t my post and I’ve never slated you on gg. Trust me If I gave you that type of abuse I wouldn’t deny it. Someone is obviously taking the piss and you have taken the bait. Get Paul or admin to check the IP address.

    • Mr Fixit 11 years ago

      Chris, we can do that if we have the ip address.

  39. Mr Chris Guy 11 years ago

    Wtf it wasn’t me lol

    • Mr Fixit 11 years ago

      Chris, I haven’t said it was you, I said if it was you. We can easily check if we have the ip address.

  40. Milesey 11 years ago

    Mr Fixit and admin have better things to do with their time…. so can we just stick to tips, and if the tips don’t come in then lets me grown up about it and not have to call people names.

  41. Mr Chris Guy 11 years ago

    Do Milesey you can apologise for your rant cos it wasn’t me.

  42. Mr Chris Guy 11 years ago

    Milesey are you hearing me, it WASN’T ME. It was my New Years resolution to be a bit nicer to you as long as I get the same in return. After all we are all out to beat the bookies.

  43. Ross 11 years ago

    Mr fixit they are telling me 15 times I have to gamble MY MONEY before I can withdraw

    • Mr Fixit 11 years ago

      Ross, you can’t say that about anyone. Email me the full details and I’ll contact them again and see if we can get sorted. It’s normal for bookies to ask you to play through a bonus but not normal withdrawals.

  44. Mr Chris Guy 11 years ago

    The only get I had on today was £150 on Barcelona to be winning after 30 mins @ 4/5.

  45. Mr Chris Guy 11 years ago

    Great shout with Villa Paul. A double already

  46. Mr Chris Guy 11 years ago

    Feels like banging his head off a wall……

    It doesn’t matter cos it looks like you are going to continue to be immature about it and ignore what I was saying. Why would I do it and then deny it? Has it not occurred to you that it could be someone else on the site who has seen all the arguing that’s posted it?

  47. Mr Chris Guy 11 years ago

    Anyway I can’t be bothered going on about it. I can assure you I have you no abuse on this site or on gg since our last argument. I do not have any issues with you.

    • Mr Fixit 11 years ago

      Chris, I can’t comment as I’ve not seen what was said but if it wasn’t you then fair enough. As I said all we can do is try to get the ip address from gg and that will tell us.

  48. yomyyo 11 years ago

    What do you al think about betis wil the still win?

    • Mr Fixit 11 years ago

      Yomyyo, I don’t know because I’m watching Coventry v Preston.

  49. Seamus 11 years ago

    Yomyo I took betis minus one in play @12/5 mate.

  50. Craig alves 11 years ago

    There’s the double up challenge up again wi btts in Coventry game and barca game over 1.5 gls, and need betis -1 AH in a double wi Villa anytime

  51. yomyyo 11 years ago

    Seamus,Mr Fixit

    Im wachting the game no i dont see betis winnen now with min-1 or winnen at all to bad

    • Mr Fixit 11 years ago

      Yomyyo, I think this is a problem sometimes when teams don’t need to win games. 1-1 sees them through on away goals but hopefully they’ll do better in second half.

  52. Milesey 11 years ago

    Get in there, Preston 2-1 10 mins to go, hope this one holds up !

    • Mr Fixit 11 years ago

      Milesey, I hope Preston hold on because obviously gives me a payout on my safer drw no bet.

    • Milesey 11 years ago

      Normal GW tactics taking place, goalie playing injured to kill sometime, good old GW, surprised he hasn’t called for a drinks break like he did when manager of Stevenage !

    • Milesey 11 years ago

      What another killing blow, oxford v southend comes all flooding back !

  53. Knottsy 11 years ago

    Milesey ive been on this site a while now and had a few tiffs with Chris guy but i honestly don’t think this seems like his style. Was actually a wee bit surprised when i seen the comment that was supposed to be from him earlier.
    Thats the thing about an open forum like this – anyone can post under any name and cause bother.

  54. ross marshall 11 years ago

    Forget it Paul, it doesnt matter. i`ll play through any bets and hopefully will come out with some profit at the end of it. Its only few quid. but i wont be depositing anymore of my money. cheers

    back to the tipping

    looking good with the Preston X2

  55. yomyyo 11 years ago

    Mr Fixit,

    Pff almost goal but betis needs to no that if the not scor and the second team scors the are out of the game

  56. Peter Brown 11 years ago

    Unbelievable Preston was counting my money there!!!? And villa scoring 2nd rounds off a bad night! Lol roll on timorrow lads

  57. Milesey 11 years ago

    I need a lie down, can not believe that just happened !

    Laters.

    • Mr Fixit 11 years ago

      Milesey, just back on my feet. That was unreal and I only had it for draw no bet.

    • Milesey 11 years ago

      I’ll find out tomorrow what Coventry were trading at when it was taken down in the 89th Minute to win…. betfair would have been around the 200/1 mark, i am guessing.

  58. Seamus 11 years ago

    Minus 1 not looking great. Was small stake tho, jumped on 7/5 in play give me something to watch with interest yomyo. Here’s hoping they get finger out bud

  59. Knottsy 11 years ago

    Spose u can’t complain Paul, last minute goal done well for us all Tuesday night. Kick in the teeth when its against u tho!

  60. Stevie H 11 years ago

    Preston are a disgrace. NO team should be loosing 2 goals at 92+93mins.

    Ah see haha, ive just stuck £6 Brazil ht at 4/6, £1.76 on 2-0 at ht 9/2 & £2 on Brazil -2 AH at 6/4. Will be happy just to be winning at ht tho and get an evens bet up tomorrow then bank half £

  71. Mat H 11 years ago

    I like the look of Blackburn tomorrow at 9/5 wolves are awful

  72. Seamus 11 years ago

    Seems decent Craig! I just like betting for fun and making the game a bit more interesting to watch. Brazil winning at half time should happen for sure, and will cover your other bets so here’s hoping its happy days. But football is football, good luck lad!

  73. Seamus 11 years ago

    And I agree, way forward is backing singles @ better than 1/1 bank half and bet again with the bookies cash. Takes patience tho. It’s my new system, don’t get me wrong like a couple pound on my trebles or five fold each week but nothing drastic – couple pound max! Here’s to a good weekend tho

    • Mr Fixit 11 years ago

      Seamus, you’ll always get singles tipped here and some accers too. We have to cater for all types of punters and there are a still a lot of people who can afford to fire a fiver at a fivefold but not a ton at a single. But I always say the fewer selections the bigger your chances of winning.

  74. madi 11 years ago

    seamus- sometimes, actually most of the time,evens bets that are likely to win are hard to find. ive from monday started backing favorites at long odds, either a treble or four fold which brings the price above evens. its working for me. just yesterday i put antalayaspor dnb on to my treble (which came in) and of course they conceded a last minute goal and lost. all in all 3 nights out of 4 so far

  75. madi 11 years ago

    bookies are right alot of the time!

  76. Craig alves 11 years ago

    Av got up from a fiver to 40 since sunday doubling up, its knowing when to bank and when to gamble that’s hard, on nantes psg double £30 on at 1.01 wi bet365 then I’ll bank half but a may have went a step too far.

  77. Seamus 11 years ago

    A hear you mate, am not putting massive stakes on its mostly fun. Realised a was losing between 30-50 a week on accas. So fancy the 30/40 sheet singles and rest couple on btts and four five folds. I tried odds on trebles and got spanked. When I get my winnings up, and when betting with bookies money might start looking at treble/doubles. But where I am at would rather lose 30 for arguments sake on a valued single than 6 accas at a fiver throughout a week and only getting beat by one team a week. Singles hard teams are hard to find but worth looking for mate

  78. Seamus 11 years ago

    Singles hard looking for but worth it IF can find I meant lol. Half cut lol

  79. madi 11 years ago

    yeah i was chucking money away on silly accas, 5 6 7 and 8 team accas, and i realised how much money i was losing on it. so trying this out. btts never came through for me either so ive given up on those. still do the silly accas but with small stakes. good luck with your bets

  80. Mat H 11 years ago

    Brazil losing

  81. Seamus 11 years ago

    Like wise lad. Any singles you think are worth a decent punt – post. Would appreciate your insight on the singles as well as Paul’s. all the best mate

  82. Striker 11 years ago

    I like doing singles on a strong BTTS but only in-play while watching match live. First reason is generally a team you think will come up BTTS generally has crap odds pre-match but usually by 30mins mark will be evens or more. Also you can do a final assessment or get a gist of whether each team are creating enough chances and have capabilities to score. At around 30 mins will either go for BTTS or over 1.5 goals whichever looks more promising. 1.5 goals does cover you if one team fails to score but one team manages 2+ however BTTS usually has better odds at this stage.

  83. Seamus 11 years ago

    Sounds like a decent strategy you have there striker! Might have a wee ponder in that.

  84. Seamus 11 years ago

    Going to see brazil score a 60mins and if srawing there’s value to recoup what lost on game. Really fancy brazil to win so hopefully value at 60mins Craig. What you thinking mate?

  85. Mat H 11 years ago

    I got on brazil when they went 1-0 down @ 9/5

  86. madi 11 years ago

    not a guarantee this but ive seen it tipped and looking at the table, adelaide are on 29 points 4 off top spot with same amount of games played. adelaide at home to win vs perth glory is evens on skybet. im not on it personally but as i say ive seen it tipped elsewhere. il be on psg tomorrow along with 2 other bets. striker ive not really looked into in play betting, will give it a shot, cheers

  87. Craig alves 11 years ago

    Just stuck nxt gl before 60 mins at 6/5, only fiver and got £3 left for man of the match bets tomorrow. Twitter tipster bn on fire last 2 wk spreading over 3 players per game, 209 double his latest winnings. Not bn watching all game so after thisbthats me done for tge night

  88. Mat H 11 years ago

    Just looked on hills how come they not takin bets on Adelaide but they are on the draw n away win? Wtf

  89. madi 11 years ago

    just had a look at that mat h and yeah it wont let you pick the adelaide win, strange

  90. Seamus 11 years ago

    Mr fix it, I was the man spanking accas every week 5/10spot a time throughout the week but picking up from yourself and others on this great sight it seems singles are the way to go. Don’t get me wrong I am not a big better and prob never will be, it’s fun to me but Winning money is great so is i will try lower risk now and try to accumulate winning through perseverance and patience lol. This sight had gave me a new perspective on betting. Will prob still do accas btts, but a max cost of couple pound. That make sense Paul?

    • Mr Fixit 11 years ago

      Seamus, I don’t see a problem with punters putting a few quid on accers. I’ve seen some incredible wins down the years for very small stakes. But if you are serious about making money and desperate not to lose it the best way is singles and doubles on short-priced favourites. If you want to be even more professional you back and lay, watch the inrunning markets and get involved on Betfair but it can be pretty time consuming.

  91. Mat H 11 years ago

    What a load of pish brazil are ha

    • Mr Fixit 11 years ago

      Mat H, didn’t get involved. Saw Brazil tipped up but I don’t know enough about Under-20 football and am I right in thinking that was a friendly.

  92. Seamus 11 years ago

    Either do I, I am the average punter in that respect. I love the interest of having a coupon on, and am at the stage would rather win smaller, than 5folds that pay bigger. Will still do my accas but just smaller stake and concentrate on singles at bigger stake and see how it goes. I have heard slot about bet fair, I have quite a bit if time on my hands, work 3 on 3 off, problem is don’t understand bet fair much – will look into it tho. All in all, betting is a bit of fun to me, but may as well try win money as much as possible even if means at shorter odds and less teams

    • Mr Fixit 11 years ago

      Seamus, maybe Milesey will put up an idiot’s guide or if he wants to send me something I could post an article.

    • Milesey 11 years ago

      http://learning.betfair.com/en/

      Why is Betfair different?

      The fundamental difference between Betfair and a conventional bookmaker is you are betting against other punters not Betfair.

      How does it work?

      You have two options when you are on Betfair

      Back – When you place a bet similar to a conventional bookmakers (blue)

      Lay – When you offer someone the chance to take a bet off you, with you making the odds (pink)

      The Advantages of Betfair

      Better Odds – As you are betting against other customers and not a professional trader the odds are generally better than normal bookies, but note Betfair do take commission from winnings.

      The option to Lay – This main advantage of Betfair is the option to lay bets.

      · Trade out of a bet – An example of this would be if you have bet on a team before the kick off at 2/1 (3.0) and they go 1-0 up. The in-running odds would be significantly cut allowing you to put a lay at a much shorter price, making the bet a no lose bet.

      · Lay a bet – If you think a team has no chance of winning a game but they might get a draw then it makes sense to lay them, as this means if the result is a draw or they lose you win.

      More info

      If you want to place a bet for more than the liquidity available, only part of the bet you have had matched will be accepted until someone offers the price you are looking for.

      · You will always take the best price available regardless of what odds you enter (in other words “Your odds” is the lowest you will accept)

      · If a goal is scored the market will be suspended and any unmatched bets will be cancelled.

    • Mr Fixit 11 years ago

      Milesey, thanks I hope that explains it to anyone not sure.

  93. Mat H 11 years ago

    They had all the ball n created f all if that’s the future of Brazilian football what I’ve just witnessed they’re in trouble

  94. Madi 11 years ago

    Adelaide 2 nil up 41 minutes gone! They where evens to win

  95. Anton 11 years ago

    Danny what do u think of these for French
    Angers
    Djon
    Lens
    Nantes

    • Danny 11 years ago

      aye a agree with them all mate

  96. Anton 11 years ago

    Think a fiver pays about 40ish. Would give me some money to play with for weekend mate.

  97. george 11 years ago

    my treble is

    LEISCTER
    FULHAM
    SHEFF UTD

    50/1

  98. Craig alves 11 years ago

    Just bn told by a guu who specialises in french ligue 1 that ligue 2 is unpredictable, with top half regularly gettin done over by bottom half, only got nantes so hope they do the business bu bet wi caution in ligue 2, will keep it in mind in the future

    • Mr Fixit 11 years ago

      Craig, the lower down the ladder you go the more unpredictable it gets. About to post some tips for tonight but I’m not having much of a bet.

    • Danny 11 years ago

      am afraid the guy who told you that Craig is on Glue look at the league table and h2h and so on if he comes up with that statement from the facts on the league then a dread to think what he comes up with in the top flight being a specialist only thing he is a specialist in is falsley analysing statistics

  99. Craig alves 11 years ago

    In reply to me asking if nantes should win with something tto spare tonight he replied
    @calves1888 No I dont mate. Nightmare of a league that is, so unpredictable. 1/2 and worse get turned over regularly

    All I’m sayin is after tonight I will look more into different leagues if a can, not saying all favs won’t win by passing on info I got. May have read that wrong too, 1/2 and worse getting done over regularly so nantes should be ok

    • Mr Fixit 11 years ago

      Craig, you pal’s message is inconclusive. I can’t take from that whether Nantes are a good or bad bet. I won’t be looking at Ligue 2 but might try tonight’s Ligue 1 games if I have time.

  100. alex walker 11 years ago

    george are you sure that treble pays 50to1?
    Cant see it myself!

    • Mr Fixit 11 years ago

      Alex, must be 5-1.

  101. Craig alves 11 years ago

    Ano, should be ok am on £30 nantes psg double then can bank £40 amd start again wi £20

  102. Seamus 11 years ago

    Ideal milesey, really appreciate that! Thanks lad

    • Milesey 11 years ago

      What are you looking to use Betfair for ?

      Are you looking at laying and backing horses ?

      Inplay markets ?

      If your doing inplay markets, my tip to you , especially on anything quick ie horses, dogs, is remember the time delay, so if you see say something coming through from the back and you want to get on it, go alot smaller odds then that are priced at, for the time it takes to go through, the odds will be down anyway, and if you have taken odds higher it won’t go through. I tend to hit my horses @101, but you don’t have to drop that far if you don’t want to, i just make sure the bets are on, but you take the odds at that time when the bet goes through anyway, so i put 101, but most the time i get 3’s 5’s in running, but in doing 101 you are making sure the bet gets placed !

  103. alex walker 11 years ago

    Thats more like it paul. IF it was 50 we would all be over it like a rash!

  104. Seamus 11 years ago

    I am not really into horses dogs etc tbh. From your first explanation, the backing a team then trading out sounds the most attractive, as well laying teams I think won’t win. It’s sounds as if you need to be really cautious with this bet fair tho.

    • Milesey 11 years ago

      Just start small and have alittle play around with it….. do tonights game, a couple of quid on either team and go from there….. if you get abit twitchy on there, just cash out.

  105. Seamus 11 years ago

    In all honesty not a big better anyway. But think I will, sounds a good bit of fun too tho. Will let you know how I get on. Once again appreciate the explanation

    • Milesey 11 years ago

      No worries,

      Just go easy…. a couple of quid on either team, watch the markets and the way it changes during a game. It’s all down to how you personally want to play things, how you feel the game is going etc… and chosing your moments to make your moves depending on the way the market is changing.

  106. Seamus 11 years ago

    Sounds like it could be tricky! Will just a have a play about with a couple pound to give my self a better understanding etc. is that all you use?
