Imho, does not mean that because it is French it would be clean. There is always a possibility of any games from any leagues including the big one to be fixed. As long as there is money flowing, there would be crooks interested in it. Simple rules really, where there is sugar, there are ants.

Anyway, bad luck mate. Don't feel down. You will come back stronger than ever .

Come on Meatman, who cares for one day results. The season has 38 rounds and you help many people around for all the season. One unlucky round means nothing.

I look at my results,

Ajaccio 0-1 Guingamp# Pick: Guingamp DNB @2.85 Sportingbet - 4/10
Dijon 1-2 Amiens# Pick: Amiens DNB @2.20 Canbet - 4/10
Grenoble 2-0 Reims# Pick: Grenoble @1.85 Centrebet - 2/10
Gueugnon 1-1 Chateauroux# Pick: Chateauroux +0.25 @1.85 Canbet - 2/10
Libourne 0-0 Le Havre# Pick: Under 2 @2.40 Stan James - 2/10
Niort 0-0 Sedan# Pick: NOBET
Troyes 3-1 Angers# Pick: Over 2.5 @2.42 Nordicbet - 6/10 (I'll be on 2.26 at 10bet)
Boulogne 3-1 Montpellier# Pick: Boulogne @3.00 Stan James - 3/10
Nantes 2-0 Clermont# Pick: Nantes -1.25 @2.11 Canbet - 3/10

9 games, 8 picks, 1 Void, 4 Lost, just 3 Won.
26 Staked - 31.22 Returned
Profit/Loss: +5.22 Stakes Profit
Yield: %20.08

On the card is it like this. Unlucky round with lucky top picks won. I won some lower money as these are statistics with best odds around. My own bets are with a bit lower odds like 2.26 for the O2.5 and 1.81 for Grenoble. This makes me end the day with a small profit. Still a good round IMO.


Troyes not to win is unacceptable. Angers to score was sure for me but Troyes not to win is strange.
Nantes lost points vs Clermont. Another joke.
For me, Amiens, Le Havre, Chateauroux and Guingamp's away performances also strange. Especially as they lost so easy.

To make money from this round on the cards with my given picks was luck. Your loss etc was also just unluck IMO. We have a Monday game and i know what you will pick (Or let's say; hope to know and be on the same sides)

Let's get all what we gave yesterday back on Monday

I was thinking to take x, thats very usual for the french ligue, but will wait for meatman, until no bet for me.

Brest 2-0 Bastia
I saw Clermont as managed to do the hardest thing in Ligue 2 after the lost to Bastia. But just some days later they managed to stop Nantes. This still will not change my thoughts about Bastia and their weak squad IMO. Brest have a good keeper, good defense, not bad midfield and also enough players with enough abilities to score. They are not a team to score many goals per game but they can score one and beat Bastia IMO. If they conceed the first, then no chance to come back but i see a 1-0 or maybe late 2-0. Will be on Brest for sure.
Pick: Brest @2.50 bwin - 4/10

Bastia - Le Havre 0-2
Le Havre - Brest 1-1

Bastia lost to Le Havre at home, whereas Brest drew with Le Havre away. The logical conclusion is that Brest should win tonight, but too many times this kind of logic doesn't work in football.

So, I'm going to try some of that reverse logic and have a small lay of Brest.
My verdict - Bastia to get at least one point tonight.

[meatman]

sorry guys I have been incredible busy recently, just didnt have time to think about the game

I think Brest will win it but Bastia are often a fcuk up team so it's dangerous

GL all who bet

if i was to go level staking then it would also mean that I'd have to cut down my number of bets and select only certain ones, which I wouldnt like

for what it's worth I agree and that's my strategy aswell. If you can identify certain bets you think are 75-25 calls instead of 55-45 calls for example, then why not go in bigger? It just so happened that this time the 25% happened, but in the long run it shouldn't as long as you keep making the right calls.
