THAT'S two weekends without football and it's got to the stage Saturdays feel just like any other day.
With nothing happening in the world the days roll into one and if it wasn't for my work rota I'd have no idea where I was.
Instead of going to a match I took the dog a big walk, got my elderly and self-isolated mum some shopping, tidied the garden a bit and that was about it. On an exciting scale of 1-10 that was a big fat zero.
My Belarus treble bombed early but well done to all the winners and especially those on cards – in the four matches there were 27 yellows and one red so something worth considering when looking at Sunday's two games between Smolevichi vs Isloch and Neman Grodno vs Vitebsk.
I've looked at the games but Belarus football isn't easy to call and in the opening two weekends there have been plenty of surprises including two defeats for BATE. Could be two draws today but cards look the way to go if you can find a value bet.
I did the pools again but it was a tougher card as it was international week so I managed just three draws from eight. I was pleased though to pick Edinburgh City vs Cove Rangers as it's clear the Panel are looking at tables ahead of form so when two sides close to each other in the table meet the chances are they'll go for a draw.
Like last weekend they picked exactly eight score draws and that's a little disappointing as we could do with a few more. I've listed all the draws in case you want to check your coupon.

Sorry I’ve forgotten how to count as well as play golf.
Am sorry lads but betting on these leagues that are still playing around the world is just like opening your front door and throwing your money into the wind. Just stop. Delete your accounts and wait till life gets back to normal. SAVE YOUR MONEY!!!!
I’d say play with minimum stakes and it’s OK. Some guys have done well on these leagues.
Alex, bookies are now offering markets they wouldn’t typically have the time to price up and there are still some sound betting opportunities out there.
There is no way folk have been betting on these leagues previously or will be betting on these leagues once the rest of the world re starts so it’s betting for the sake of betting which indicates a problem small stakes or not.
I had a similar day to you mr f, took dug a walk done some stuff for family who are stuck in, got the food shopping in and started painting my fence, boring as hell but it was better than betting in Belarus!
Like others I’ve had great success since football finished 2 weeks ago on the leagues that have been available.
Providing you do your research and keep stakes sensible there is absolutely nothing wrong with betting on these leagues and it’s a short sighted to just say people are throwing their money away
Sean, I’m afraid you are wrong, your day didn’t beat betting on Football in Belarus as a lot people had a good day and as Kyle pointed out some bookies were offering full markets which made finding value and a betting opportunity much easier.
Just because it’s not for you doesn’t mean those that do back of have a problem
Trust me Greg, a day out the back garden with my family instead of checking alerts from bet 365 was better. Not knocking the folk who are researching etc as per usual I said the folk betting for the sake of betting indicated a problem. Each to their own but I’ve been down some dark roads, I know the signs.
All day in the garden and all day with the family – I’m sorry that’s not possible especially if it’s something you’re not used to.
Got to be doing something to break up the day – anyway it’s still pretty cold up here. I tried to sit out with a neighbour last night but was forced inside.
Your a bore sean and i’m not sure thread is for you mate.
Aw well macca I’m sorry a wee warning to folk to make them think, so perhaps thru gambling they don’t end up with mountains of debt or stealing from their family or having to let other folk control your money because u can’t be trusted or any of the other things I used to do, is boring to u, but then again your an addict and this thread is 100 % for you.
Sean.
If that’s the case why are you spending time away from your family logging in, scrolling down and commenting on a betting forum at this time ?.
It’s a small distraction in the current monotonous life we have, can only walk the dog, cut the grass, watch repeats of prisoner cell block h so many times in one day.
Itv showing the virtual grand national and bookies offering odds next Saturday is a bit much though .
If this is a bookies ploy to entice people to sign up and bet online at this time it’s not clever.
Bit like those mind robbing virtual cartoons in bookies shops.
What next a wacky races tricast.
My personal standard bet was.
1. Penelope pitstop.
2. Professor pat pending.
3. The ant hill mob.
These would normally give you a good run for your money.
Dastardly would normally not finish, the cavemen spent most of the time hitting each other with clubs, and Peter perfect was always doing his make up and not really focused on the job in hand 😁
Bookies are businesses – and like almost every business they too are suffering.
Most say about 85 per cent of turnover comes from sports betting so they have to try something to protect their future and also jobs of loads of people who don’t get paid much, for example shop staff.
The virtual Grand National should be treated like playing the lottery – put on a couple of quid for an interest and that’s it.
I have no bet days as i’m sure others do on here,but having a tickle there is no harm in that,i only bet what i can afford and i certainly don’t chase losses.
My betvictor balance the last two weeks would disagree. Do a bit of research but as said yesterday the Belarus league has been amazing for cards. Not a league any of us normally bet on but if you reduce stakes and benefit what’s the problem?
I’ve made more money from these crazy leagues than the premier league!!
Nicaraguan
Managua vs Driangen
2 goals first half Boom
3 goals first half Boom
Over 2.5 goals Done !!!!!
oops goal wasn’t allowed
6 Yellows in opening half hour in Nicaragua, be a miracle if one of those don’t turn into a red. Shame no bookie out there will offer an Inplay price & market for it, need one more Managua yellow for me NAP 🤞🏻
NAP home in opening 45, had a good bit of everything going on in that 1st half.

Morning gents,
A good day by many yesterday by looks of things – I needed 4 goals in my pick and with 3 within the opening 38 minutes, I thought it’d be an easy win…sod all after that 😂
Still, I’m sticking with the Nicaraguan Youth theme and reckon this one looks a touch to generous for 4 or more…small stakes but certainly worth ago:
Walter Ferretti U20 VS. Chinandega U20
(9.30pm)
OVER 3.5 GOALS
(5/4, bet365) NAP ⭐⭐⭐
Best of luck!
Aye Hull your over 3.5 goals bet yesterday let me down for a nice wee 4 timer, at 3-0 after 36 minutes I thought I was “home and hosed”!!
Better luck tonight hopefully Jim 🤞

It seems like they play it safe with 8 score draws every week. It doesn’t suit me or my plan though. How do you get on to this Pools Panel so you won’t come up with results like Rotherham v Gillingham score draw!!
The truth is it suits the Football Pools to have 8 draws as that is the nice average number.
The Panel are going to take some shocks just like there are shocks every Saturday.
I don’t who is on the panel just now but it will be the likes of former footballers and pundits.
both teams red card vitebsk game 19/1, boosted to 20/1 PP
60 plus bps 1/1 sky bet
I have to agree with Macca and only bet what you can afford to LOSE.
never gamble any more than that and dont chase losses
Only bet what you can afford to lose should always be the mantra – even when everything returns to normal.
The Belarus Specials back on and firing the £1.56 that I got on free spins is on a goal & 3 corners each half double at 10/1. Massive price considering usually the trebles pay 6 or 7/1 so 1 game less

*Can’t* find…
Quick look on Twitter it seens the 1st one wasn’t played, was abandoned/postponed but betfair settled as 0-0. Apparently the game was meant to be 29th May or either moved to 29th of May. Looks like other game was void too
Cheers Alves. Appreciate the help mate…
That’s my cheeky wee double in 60+ booking points in Neman Grodno match in Belarus and over 3.5 goals in Walter Ferretti u20’s match in Nicaragua.
