Derby Betting

[Swordfish7]

OP - some advice.

Bet on what you think will happen, not what you hope will happen.

 

[inbetween]

I can't see no-one scoring but tbh, my money would go on a draw. We are City and this will be done the hardest way possible, right down to the last game!

Interesting view that. William Hill today had virtually same odds for a draw as a utd win. Surprised me, cos I would have thought a draw by far least likely result; we need to go for the win big style don't we? - so we'll either get the win, or get exposed going for it in which case they'll get some goals.

Last years home derby was very cagey, one of those games where neither team really wants to win. We do have to win but if we get beat on monday it is absolutely over unless United get beat twice which is unlikely with the psychological advantage.

Betting wise i'm saying a draw because United have the upper hand as in a draw puts them in the driving seat for the last 2 games. A very unlikely bet is the scoreless draw but i think a 1-1 or similar is a good one.

It's going to be a very tactical and nervy game if you ask me with a goal at most seperating it.

Has anyone got any dead certs for the derby match?

I restrict my gambling budget to £50 per season due to being a former addict. And I now have £20 left to use up, £10 of which would of been spent on Torres getting the last goal against Barca. I had a gut feeling it was a dead cert. However, as I was about to bet in play at 12/1 and press the submit button that fucking angel on my shoulder told me to "refrain for the derby game is nigh, bet on that game instead".

Well I listened to that fucker, am no richer and I don't have a dead cert. All I know is I have the same gut feeling as back in 2004 when I knew we would win the derby. Back then though I had a dead cert, and put £1 (I was a student) on City beating United 4-1 and Wright-Phillips getting the last goal at 100/1 as a last goal scorecast.

Please help, as I am now going to be miserable till Monday.

3-0 Tevez first goal £10

Rooney first yellow card £10

Balotelli last goal £5

City red card £5

Seeing as 'This is how it feels to be City.... we sign Kun Aguero' has been my favourite song this season, I'm wondering what the bookies would give me for Phil Jones to be sent off and Kun to get the last goal.

Just too good to come true though.

Jones won't even get on the pitch. Will be Ferdinand and Evans at the back with Smalling on the bench

At the end of the day, utd don,t have any defender good enough to stop us scoring on Monday. i am confident we will batter them.humiliate them.they are bricking it. i hope we keep scoring to batter their confidence into the ground and ensure there is no way, when they walk out against swansea and sunderland, that they can better our results over the last two games.

we need to win the derby and batter utd into realizing that our time has come.

City need to make sure utd leave our place devastated...as broken men.

I'm going for

City 1-0 United. Goalscorer Tevez

City 3-1 United. Balotelli hat-trick.

Scholes won't start.

Don't you think so? Or are you in the know on this? I'd have thought he'd be a dead cert (not taking the piss this time) to start for them.

My guess was that they'd pack 5 into midfield to defend against us through the middle and attack us on the break down the wings (Valencia and Nani/Young on the wings; Carrick, Scholes in the centre and Rooney playing deep to link up with the single striker). But I know shit all about their team. Am I off on this? If so I'm glad you pulled me up, my bet was gonna be serious even if the post as a whole wasn't.

I'm a failed gambler (apart from the odd beauty's that keep me trying) so one thing I aint is in the know. Thus it's just my opinion. I can't see Scholes starting though because of his inability to tackle. Ferguson won't want to risk him playing the majority of the match on a booking or getting a red card. So because he can't trust him, he'll bring him on as a sub, even if United are winning. That way Scholes can come on to try and finish of the game with another goal, or try and get them back in it.

I agree totally with everything else you've said. He is defo going to pack five into that midfield because of what happened against Everton and because City focus on going down the middle. Just don't think that pack will include Scholes in the starting line up.

This is just my opinion though, which is why I try and always go with my gut feeling and no longer the £ signs.

Is there any other type

This is exactly how I see it panning out yet some of my mates think we will declare at half time and put them back in!

Use betfair and be a trader, much easier to make money than the traditional bookie way.

You are getting no help from me mate,

I had £5 Fowler 1st Goal
£5 Fowler and 3v1
£5 3 v 1
We were walking out of the aisle in East Stand level 3 when SWP collected the ball and watch him snatch £965 winnings from me.

Saying that I would sooner beat them 4 v 1 on Monday rather than win £965.

Good Luck mate, I hope what you bet brings the team luck.
