Re: Betting thread
Anyone doing the Masters this week?
I think Day will take a lot of beating, but at 7/1 it is difficult to back.

Re: Betting thread
Jason Day is certainly the form player going into it. I quite fancy him myself to do well but 7/1 is quite skinny in the most competitive Masters for a long time. Anyway a stat against him is historically the world no.1 has a pretty poor record in the event. The last winner being Woods in 2002. Similar stat for last years winner (Adam Scott is the only champion to have finished in the top 20 (14th) for at least 5 years). All that said I wouldnt put anyone off backing Day or Speith. With Skybet offering a massive 8 places I think I will have a play at larger odds. Snedeker @66/1 and Fowler @20/1 seem decent e/w plays. Bill Haas has improved every time over the last 5 years and could be worth a tickle e/w at 125/1

Re: Betting thread
Think everyone has there own way of just nicking a few quid. For arguments sake take the 1st half bettingBennyblanco wrote:GlobalBox wrote:freddydoesdallas wrote:Bet365 offer on tomorrow for the PSG Man City gameBreakfast time

Both teams not to score in the first half is 2/11 so have your £50 on and you get back 59.09 So 9 quid profit
Soon as it kicks off back both teams to score in the first half £50 at 7/2 gets you £225 back
So if they both score in the first half you get £225 for your £100 as the both not to score would obviously be a loser
But if they dont both score you get 59.09 and then Bet365 refund you your losing in running bet so you would end up with 109.09 total so
9.09 buys a nice tasty breakfast.
Everyone will have there own way of doing it the idea is not to lose and have the chance to scoop a few bob, remember your free bet is only the total of your actual pre game bet, so if you only bet £20 before the game you would only get £20 in running, equally it is only the first bet that counts pre match for your in running bet so make sure if you are going to bet £50 that is your first pre match bet, dont have a fiver on something and then go in with your fifty and think you get £50 free bet, you would only in fact get a fiver.

Make sure you do the small profit pre-match and big profit in-play as it's the in-play bet that is returned

Re: Betting thread
I might just go for the win lose draw thing, haven't deviated from it yet, although might be more exciting to do the to score/not to score thing.
Is there any track record of 365 gubbing people who do this? Have been advised to bet the win/lose on other sites occasionally...
I feel like other sites should be running this promotion by now. Can you imagine how much could be made if there were 5 sites doing this as frequently as 365?

I go on 365 every now and then to do a coupon on the football or if they're best priced in a market just to keep it ticking over and show I'm a loyal customerRiddick Blowe wrote:I might just go for the win lose draw thing, haven't deviated from it yet, although might be more exciting to do the to score/not to score thing.

If you just use the account to abuse the In play bet offer you'll be excluded from the offer. I found that one out early on.

Re: Betting thread
Its interesting that you put Bill Haas because I have already put a bit of money on him. He has made that cut in all 6 Masters he has played in, and seems to be in decent enough form this year.littlekinny wrote:Jason Day is certainly the form player going into it.

Re: Betting thread
For the Masters, I'm backing Adam Scott (11/1), Zack Johnson (60/1) and Brooks Koepka (75/1).

Re: Betting thread
Hmm. I wonder if they have a system for flagging up the accounts that are consistently only active on those days with the promotion on. Any road, I might just pop the 50 on the both to score in the first half and not worry about covering myself...surely that won't be a problem for them?The Insider wrote:Yup.Riddick Blowe wrote:

Re: Betting thread
Also gone with Adam Scott. put Kevin Kisner in as a dark horse at 100/1 and Bradley Willet at 50s who's been in great form lately.Deno1986 wrote:For the Masters, I'm backing Adam Scott (11/1), Zack Johnson (60/1) and Brooks Koepka (75/1).

Re: Betting thread
Another way of using Bet 365.
Place 50 on over 0.5 goals at 1/20
put 4 on 0-0 at 12/1 with Coral (optional)
Place 50 in play on whatever you want - Im gonig 3-1 at 12/1
Realistic chance to win 600 nugs for free. Granted it aint the guaranteed 20/30 quid but another option to consider.

Re: Betting thread
Yes that's a good one I have done that one a few times when I feel lucky, did it one Arsenal game and backed Walcott first goal at 7s and he missed a sitter from six yards.littlekinny wrote:Another way of using Bet 365.

Re: Betting thread
You can get 5/1 on Eric Hunter
You can find footage of Hunter on YouTube and the guy is QUICK, ripping big combinations to body and head. He can be caught also, and doesn't seem to have any hugely impressive wins, but at these odds I am taking Hunter all day long. Selby just never impressed me that much. Stoppage is available at 10/1. We'll see fightnight this is an amazing price. I could feasibly see Hunter come out of the traps and tee off on Selby with an accumulation stoppage way more likely than what the bookies are giving it.

Thanks for this. I looked into it and it's a good price. I was thinking about it before but knew nothing of hunter. I think he's good but the so-called Welsh Mayweather is nothing of the sort.Riddick Blowe wrote:You can get 5/1 on Eric Hunter![]()
