DO NOT BET ON INTERNATIONAL FRIENDLIES

I don't like arguing with red capitals but if you had information that one team was intending playing an experimental side and the other team, pretty much their strongest side, wouldn't there be more chance of you finding some value than less?

And in what way does a both teams to score bet, automatically become better value in friendlies?

I felt the need for red capitals got my point across ha!

Ignore the red capitals at your own risk ;-)

There are usually more goals in friendlies. The odds on who will win or draw are awful for friendlies too. Take Ireland V Greece, Ireland are playing a young experimental team as they released it yesterday. I would never risk that game in my accumulator.

But each to there own.

But if you think Ireland are a terrible price that by definition makes Greece a good price. So why, if you're right about the Ireland price, would there not be a good value bet on Greece?

As for the goals galore thing. The bookies price them up on the likelihood of both teams scoring. So just because there's more chance of it happening in a particular match, doesn't automatically make it a better bet because the price will reflect that.

Because you dont know what kind of side Greece will put out either?
So if your doing an accumulator why risk losing it with a game that is dodgy and could go either way? So thats why i wouldnt bet on either of them.

I think about bets quite alot.

There’s so many times im so tempted to put like 10 grand on Barca or someone when they play at home against weak opposition.

Like last week, Bayern Munich played Eintract Frankfurt at home. They are always gonna win that so if you put 10 grand on that last Saturday you would have won - £12,000. Well £2000 profit. You do one of those bets every week and that’s like £8000 a month!!!

Unfortunately im not that type of person to do that.
I have a conscience and i think about things to much so i don’t have the balls.

But when your sat at work all day for 10 hours and you know if you just put that first big bet on and won you could then play with your winnings so in theory you never lose your own cash after that first big bet....

That is how professional gamblers do it. They wait for a virtual certainty-even though nothing is guarenteed-and lump on.

Lets say at team are 1/8 on-The pro gambler bangs 80k on and wins 10k if it lands. Thats his wages for the next few months.

I could never have the balls to do it but it would be nice.

Trust me mate - this is precisely what shrewd professional gamblers don't do.
Backing football teams at long odds on is one of the most surefire ways to lose a fortune very quickly.

And that is the most repeated, I'll informed line, you ever here about running a book.

Usually from people who have never met a bookie. Which thinking about it, I suppose makes it technically true.
