FT ITALY 1:1 ROMANIA

To say it was never in doubt would be a lie!

Although, there could well have been more than the 2 goals we saw in the match. Missed penalty, goal given offside, great saves, etc.

I was right in saying Italy wouldn't lose, which automatically means the bet's a winner.

And onto the next bet, and again we stay with Euro 2008.


BET06: HOLLAND v FRANCE, LAY 'HT SCORE 1:2' @ 38.0

EQUIVALENT BACK ODDS: 1.027


This one I hope, will require a little less luck than the previous bet, and will still return a £7+ profit.

France rarely get involved in OVERS matches full stop, never mind after just 45 minutes! And in a match where they are up against a younger, fitter Dutch squad, I cannot see them bagging two before the break.

With this bet also, any payout should be settled well before the FT whistle, enabling the possibility of nicking a few quid in the closing stages!

HT HOLLAND 1:0 FRANCE

BET07: HOLLAND v FRANCE, LAY '6+ TOTAL GOALS' @ 144.0 (IN-PLAY, 54MINS, 1:0)

EQUIVALENT BACK ODDS: 1.007


Makes another £2 if wins.. Every little helps!

Bloody hell, you're arse must be twitching!!!!

[Guy Fawkes]

Home and hosed

[madnesstiger]

Never have I been so glad to see this!! Had it been a '3' like nearly every other match... I ain't even gonna go there!

I'm just bloody glad I'm 26, and not 76... or I wouldn't have lived to see the final score!

Deep breath... phew...

Anyway,

FT HOLLAND 4:1 FRANCE


And I'm going to stop the bets right there for tonight!

And who said odds of 1.007 are 'free money'!!!

On a serious note though mate, may be best to leave odds such as this alone for the future. Could you imagaine blowing your thread by losing on a 150/1 shot?! Sickening thought.

It is worth thinking about mate. But on the other hand, tonight WAS a freak occurrence and would realistically happen once in 100 similar events.

If it was 'certain', there'd be no market for it, and everyone would put their house on it... I just think I happened to pick the worst match on which to place the bet I did (I'm just damn glad I went for 6+ and not 5+!).

On another note (sorry, getting a little side-tracked here), think of this:

If anybody were to reach, say £10,000 (and the liquidity in markets allowed it), it would be selections/odds such as this which would pocket you a quick £65/£70 - a day's wages if you like.

Put the last bet behind me now, and looking forward (hopefully) to some nice little earners in the World Cup Qualifiers over the weekend, as well as the continuing Euro 2008 fixtures.

My first bet for tomorrow looks like this:

BET08: SINGAPORE vs SAUDI ARABIA, LAY 'CORRECT SCORE 0:0' @ 16.5

EQUIVALENT BACK ODDS: 1.065


Both teams have played 4 matches in their qualifying group, in which there have been no shortage of goals.

• Singapore average 3.75 goals per game
• Saudi Arabia average 3.25 goals per game
• Saudi Arabia are 74 FIFA World Ranking positions above Singapore

12:30 KICK-OFF (BST)

[Hooloovoo]

Nice one, tuned in at TvAnts just in time to see the 1st goal

[DJ]

Well done mate, another win!

[madnesstiger]

Cheers guys..! I had Futbol24 screech at me from upstairs whilst I was eating my breakfast!!

Was confident on this one from the start, remembering that only a few weeks ago I backed Uzbekistan to beat Singapore away, which resulted in a 3-7 scoreline.!! There was bound to be goals today.

Just hope you don't expect your winnings too quickly... from my experience Betfair seem slow in paying out for this market. Each time I've placed bets in this market the winnings have taken at least an hour to come through.

Still for you at least you're making constant progress to hitting your target.

[madnesstiger]

Yeah, won't be expecting the payout until at least 14:30.. plenty of time before the Sweden v Spain match

...or if you have another £300 just sitting there you don't have to wait for payout

[madnesstiger]

mmm.. I'm not going to be tempted into rush-decisions just for the sake of placing another bet! I'm beginning to wonder whether laying 0:0 in the Spain v Sweden match is a good idea afterall, after seeing all the 1:0's and 0:0's in their previous matches (not against each other mind).

And there's NO WAY I'm going to LAY 6+ Goals!!!!

FT SINGAPORE 0:2 SAUDI ARABIA

BET09: TURKMENISTAN vs SOUTH KOREA, LAY 'TURKMENISTAN' @ 11.5

EQUIVALENT BACK ODDS: 1.095


Basically, Turkmenistan are crap. They are ranked below the likes of Malta and Lichtenstein, whereas South Korea are ranked 1 place below Switzerland. The Korean's are just too strong for the Central Asian outfit.

Turkmenistan have yet to score in their first 4 qualifiers, conceding 7, whereas Korea have conceded just 2 from their 4 matches, scoring 7.

And at the odds offered, it would be rude not to lay these!
