Mike’s Pension Pot

[Mike]

Hi
I have moved this thread over from the competitions page from Mike’s Retirement Plan and have split it up. This will give me a chance to have a little competition of my own and will hopefully boost the posts on the Goalposts side of the site. 🙂 I have to keep things fair, started this thread on +8.5 points instead of +10 as the first bet listed below lost.

Into every life a little rain must fall or in this case fog. The racing has been abandoned at Naas due to fog after only one race. 🙁 This leaves us with a quick back up option which is to delve into cherry picking from the other threads and the only one left is Joe’s football option. ?
We cannot take the 9.5 corner option but will look into the odds for 8 corners to see what we can get. ?
At 2.45-1 we will have to stake 1.5 points to keep the rolling maul going.
Hi
With my race being abandoned I rather jumped in with the football bet but it was still a reasonable shout as two of the games came in with just the odd corner letting us down on the other two matches. 🙁

All bets on here will obviously be Goalpost related such as Football or Rugby etc and we will kick this thread off with a safe (no stop laughing) football bet for this weekend to hopefully get us back in profit.
Tranmere v Milton Keynes Over 7 corners + Over 1 goal
Grimsby v Notts County Over 7 goals + Over 1 goal
This bet will 2.5 point win double at just over 1.2-1
Yes this is a boring bet but we will still put the long shots on the standard Goalpost Tips thread. 🙂

Can I get my pension pot 30 years earlier? 👀

Hi Joe
The way it’s being extended you should get to retire when your 87 🙂

Hi
I thought this would be a safe bet to get me back on track but think I might have played too safe..lol
Tranmere v Milton Keynes Over 7 corners + Over 1 goal
Grimsby v Notts County Over 7 corners + Over 1 goal
The Grimbsy v Notts County ended up 5-5 and there were 11 corners I have not stopped laughing over that one since I saw the result last night as on the original post I had accidently typed over 7 goals (not corners) which was obviously a typo but would have been a cracking bet.  🙂
The actual bet returned +5.52 which now takes us up to +14.02 and means the next bet will have to be over 2.5 points. 🙂

Hi
Inspired by the last wager coming in so early I will try a treble this week along the same lines
Newport v Wrexham Over 7 corners + Over 1 goal
Swindon v Tranmere Over 7 corners + Over 1 goal
Harrogate Town v Grimsby Over 7 Corners + Over 1 goal
This bet will have to be 3 points to win at approx 1.7-1 for a return of +8.14 points.

Hi
Well the best laid plans of mice and men came unstuck yesterday as two of the games were postponed due to frozen pitches and the third one Newport v Wrexham fell apart as soon as Wrexham had a man sent off after just 17 minutes. 🙁 You know I am beginning to think someone up there does not want me to retire…lol.
This leaves us still with a 3 point stakes option but now back down to only +11.02 to play with. 🙁

[Mike]

Hi
I was looking to try and retrieve the situation this evening in the following two matches but it looks as though the second one has been postponed. 🙁
Mansfield v Sutton United
Morecambe v Crewe (Postponed)
I will look to boost the bet on the Mansfield v Sutton United game but this always a risky option.
Right its time to take a stand and we have gone with both teams to score and over 7 corners in the game @ 4-5.

[Mike]

Hi
That was a bit embarassing really as I thought it best to play safe after the last game went against us by going for over only 7 corners. They actually had 21 corners in total and both scored in the first half so at 36 minutes the bet was in and I started reciting the old punters woes of coulda,shoulda,woulda. 🙁
But I suppose on the bright side it takes us back up to a more respectable +13.42 but now with a minimum stake of 3.5 points next time around. 🙂

[Mike]

Hi
My next bet will be 3.5 points on the following double @ 6-5 with both matches needing over 1 goal and over 7 corners in the match.
Notts County v Barrow
Grimsby v Tranmere

[Mike]

Hi
Well we notched up another win for a +4.2 profit on the day which takes us up to a running total of +17.62 🙂 but also means the next bet has to be a minimum of 4 points. 🙁

[Mike]

Hi
Its been a while but we are back with our next bet which will be 4x trebles across the following scenarios taken from League 2 tomorrow.
Newport v Swindon Newport to score and have over 3 corners @ 1-2
Accrington Stanley v Grimsby Accrington to score and have over 3 corners @ 4-11
Barrow v Milton Keynes Barrow to score and over 6 corners in the match @ 0.44-1
Mansfield v Notts County Notts County to score and over 6 corners in the game @ 0.44-1
This gives us our 4 point bet which will return a +7.87 point profit if they all come in but most of our stake back if three come in.  🙂

[Mike]

Hi
My last bet missed out which leaves us in dire straits because if the next bet goes down we will sink into the red as the bet has to be a 4 pointer and we are only +13.62 so its squeeky bum time tonight.
Brentford v Man City
Man City to win
Over 8 Corners in the match
Over 1 goal in the match
Over 1 card in the match
This comes to 5-4 but with bet365 you can get a 25% bet boost, so the return would be +10.25 if it comes in and would set us back on course with a +6.25 profit.

[Mike]

Hi
I did say I would be in dire straits if the last bet went down and there song “Money For Nothing” sums up my run of luck on here lately
Man City to win (City won comfortably 3-1)
Over 8 Corners in the match (Over 20 corners in the match)
Over 1 goal in the match (4 goals in the match)
Over 1 card in the match (1 card after half an hour….and 🙁 )
However we will try and redeem the situation this afternoon with the following win double
Swindon v Milton Keynes Over 1 goal + Over 8 corners
Wrexham v Notts County Over 1 goal + Over 8 corners
This comes out at just over 2-1 and is a little risky but….

[Mike]

Hi
We have been biding our time on this thread whilst we concentrated on the Mike’s Retirement Plan thread in the horse racing which is more my speciality. 🙂
But we will go for a dabble tonight by using but altering some of Joe’s bets from the Joe.. goes to the corner 🙂 thread.
Frankfurt v Saint Gilloise Over 1 goal + over 6 corners 0.42-1
Ludogorets v Servette Over 0 goals + over 7 corners @ 0.32-1
Rennes v AC Milan over 1 goal + over 6 corners @ 0.54-1
This treble comes out at about 1.92-1 but hopefully will turn this thread around, but as we have to use the 4 point option again today if it lost it would be all in on the last wager. 🙁

Looks good that Mike I have those games in a over 2.5 goals acca on the side to so should see this getting close 🤞🏻
