Goalpost Tips

[Mike]

Hi

I am just throwing a quick wager out to start the new Goalpost Tips forum off. As you will probably have worked out this will be mainly football but may also include Rugby etc.

Tonight’s, Scotland v Ukraine game as with the Poland v Wales game this afternoon will probably be a tight low scoring game. But with an emotional evening in sight, added to the pressure of trying to qualify we will throw these two long shots into the ring.

Both teams to score and have 2 corners each in each half and 20+ booking points for both teams in the match @ 250-1.

Alternatively as its getting near kick off and the team sheets have been posted McGinn and Yarmelenko to score and Manley and Malinovsky to get carded @ 150-1.

I have no serious illusions about these coming in, but they may give you a decent cashout if the game gets off to a lively start.  🙂

Hi
I hope this gives you an idea of how we tip on this site and at half time although Scotland haven’t scored both teams have had 2 or more corners Ukraine have scored and there have already been three yellow cards.
This means the first bet unfortunately is down but I believe it was well worth a punt at 250-1.
Now the fun starts in the second half for the 150-1 shot as Yarmelenko has already scored and Malinovsky has already been carded. We just need McGinn to score and Hanley to get booked. We already have a cash out option and can make a small profit, but not enough to tempt me so far.

Hi
Unfortunately thats the way the cookie crumbles, as both bets went down. However the first bet the 250-1 one, only went down by Scotland not scoring in the first half. Both teams scored in the second half both teams collected 20+ booking points and both teams had 2 or more corners in both halves.
I could have cashed out the second bet but was never really tempted.
For those who are still getting there head around this type of bet go over to the Long shot of the week (archive) thread to see, how when we have had a bit luck it can pay mega bucks. On the flip side it is a risky bet and check out the long losing streaks (that can occur) when you dabble with long odds wagers.

Hi
Just to keep the ball rolling we will try one of our long shot’s tonight with the following.
Netherlands v Wales (Both teams to score and have 2 or more corners in both halves with both teams to have 20 or more booking points in the game). Worth a punt at 250-1. ?

For the more serious, how about the following: (Both teams to score, 1 corner each team each half and 10 or more booking points each team). This comes out at the following prices for the home nation fixtures.

Netherlands v Wales @ 4-1
Ukraine v Republic Of Ireland @ 4-1
England v Hungary @ 6-1

Even this bet has odds of a 174-1 if you went for the treble and you know we love these especially for there cash out options.

Hi
I had been hoping to go out with a bang as this was probably one of the last opportunities for a footie bet until the season restarts at the end of next month. 🙁
But it was worth a punt. The Netherlands v Wales game paid out on the 4-1 and the big 250-1 wager missed out by a whisker (well a corner kick to be precise).
Both teams scored in both halves both teams recieved 20+ booking points and the Netherlands had 2+ corners in each half it was just the Welsh corners that let us down. 🙁

Hi
We will be resetting this thread on the 1st August in time for the start of the premiership season and hopefully will have someone else involved by then. Should this not happen I am in discusion at work over going part time before retiring next year so hopefully will be able to dedicate a bit more time to the thread.  🙂
In the meantime I have been shooting for the stars betting on the Womens Euro’s and have slipped to a unhealthy deficit and will try and correct this during the finals next week. It would be easy just to wipe the slate clean but that is not the way we fly and this poor run was self inflicted.  🙁

Hi
We will shotgun the England v Sweden game tonight to see if we cannot work a little bit of magic before we reset for the return of the football season.
Over 1.5 goals, 5+ England Women corners, 3+ Sweden Women corners and 10+ booking points each team @ 5/1
BTTS, 1+ corners each team in each half and 10+ booking points each team @ 9/2
The first two bets I am quite keen on although I know the odds are not great. But we have to try and turn this thread around before the weekend and our usual long shots are listed below. 🙂
2+ shots on target each team in each half and each team 2+ corners in each half @ 40/1
BTTS in both halves, 2+ corners each team in each half and 20+ booking points each team @ 400/1

[Mike]

Hi
We have our first worthwhile cash out option at +18.79 points on the 40-1 punt and we will take that as it brings the thread back into profit. 🙂

Hi
Apologies, as it may look as if I chickened out last night but the whole idea of the tips posted on the site is to stay in profit and if you look through the archived thread we have a near perfect record over the last four years.
Hence our comment in one of our recent posts

Hi
I have been ploughing through the markets for tonights Liverpool v Crystal Palace game and can see a standout bet which we just have to take on.
1+ shot on target each team in each half, each team 1+ corners in each half and each team 10+ booking pts @ 11/2
We will bypass the usual long shot bet bet as corner kicks will be hard to come by but how about this one with sky bet.
Diaz & Zaha each 2+ shots on target, each team 3+ corners and each team 20+ booking pts @ 150/1
We will need the game to get naughty but Zaha has a short fuse and a booking while celebrating might help and a sending off late on either way would not go amiss.

Hi
We have a cash out option on both bets at half time which would put us back in profit for the thread. But as (incredibly) it is Crystal Palace that are leading we will run with the bets as they stand for at least the first part of the second half.
I really don’t get the way the games are going lately, but it is enjoyable to watch.  🙂

[Mike]

Hi
Whilst I just know I am going to regret this as we are only waiting for Palace to get one shot on target and one corner to complete both bets (against a ten man Liverpool) but if we cash out now we can grab a +30.17 point profit. This would turn the thread from a small deficit to a decent profit and we just have to take the offer. 🙁

Hi
As the lineups have now been announced I will try our usual double chance wager on the following game
Silkeborg v West Ham
Banker bet @ 11-4 = BTTS,1+ corner each team each half and 10+ booking points both teams.
Long Shot bet @ 200-1 = BTTS and 2+ corners both teams both halves and 20+ booking points both teams.
I know being a Hammers fan that I will get some stick for this prediction, but we do have a tendancy to leak goals of late but at least we are now managing to look a bit more potent up front.  🙂

Hi
The Silkeborg v West Ham was a cracker and we had a +6 point cash out option at half time but was not really worth taking considering the possibilites and although we eventually lost with 5 goals 3 cards goals in both halves and early corners the long shot bet was looking a possibility for most of the game so we will try again on Sunday with
Arsenal v Brentford.
For the banker bet we have two options to try those being Arsenal to win with btts @ 9-4 which we have used on the Beat The Lotto (£) thread and then we have our usual two obviously with revised prices.
Banker bet @ 9-4 = BTTS,1+ corner each team each half and 10+ booking points both teams.
Long Shot bet @ 100-1 = BTTS and 2+ corners both teams both halves and 20+ booking points both teams.

[Mike]

Hi
Arsenal v Tottenham looks the best bet of the day
Banker bet @ 15-8 = BTTS,1+ corner each team each half and 10+ booking points both teams.
Long Shot bet @ 66-1 = BTTS and 2+ corners both teams both halves and 20+ booking points both teams.
Liverpool v Brighton also looks worth a punt
Banker bet @ 4-1 = BTTS,1+ corner each team each half and 10+ booking points both teams.
Long Shot bet @ 250-1 = BTTS and 2+ corners both teams both halves and 20+ booking points both teams.
