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

      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.

    • Avatar of Milesey
      Milesey 12 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

    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?

    • Avatar of Milesey
      Milesey 12 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.

    • Avatar of Milesey
      Milesey 12 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 !

    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

    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.

    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

    • Avatar of Mr Fixit
      Mr Fixit 12 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. Avatar of madi
    madi 12 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

    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

  82. Avatar of Striker
    Striker 12 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.

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 12 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.

    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

      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.

      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

    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

    • Avatar of Mr Fixit
      Mr Fixit 12 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.

      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 !

    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.

    • Avatar of Milesey

    • Avatar of Milesey
      Milesey 12 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.
