Yes i have because i am not overaly confident on the mathces over evens today!
I only back bets i like...strange that!
I may add Cardiff later on and possibly Yeovil and they are both over which should should please u as both sit at 2.10.
I have studied as normal all the matches in the uk today and i wasnt overaly confident but here are some reason on matches below!
I DONT just look for odds ons i just look for winners that i am happy for people to put there hard earned on!

Didnt quite make it for me!

Alloa 2.10 They are defo on uptrend BUT they havent won a game at home in the whole season and ok they are playing a team who havent won in ages but have won at alloa 3-0 allready this season. I have doubts so ieft alone

Exeter 2.20 Allready won 3-0 away to Boston and ok they lost there last 2 but they were away to 2 of the best home teams in Div3 but Boston have improved and have had some good results recently away and have been unlucky also. So again they didnt quite make it!

Huddersfield 2.00 a team defo on the uptrend based on there last 3 results but they sit 2nd bottom and Cheltenham last time lost badly at home but before that had picked up some good points and a noce 0-0 away to wigan. So i chose to leave alone eventhou based on current form would be home win

Barnsley 2.10 again in there last 3 have turned a corner and have had some good draws where as the away are really slipping and were thrashed away to port vale 5-2 and have only won 3 away all season.
This game actually made it VERY close to getting tippd up as they seem to be going in diff directions but because of the home teams poor season i couldnt be confident quite enough.

Maybe i am trying to be to picky but i am also trying to cut down on my stakes as the ones i have selected maybe odds on but are good prices for teams with very good chances of winning.
If i was like my old self i suspect the ones not odds on would of all been put up as tips.
But i am trying to run a tight ship and aim to get even tighter and i dont think i would have many complaints if they won even at a touch odds on like today!!
I hope now Will this gives you a better idea of my thinking!!
I could easily add more value but the accuracy wouldnt be so confident and as many have said before when i tip they no they have been well researched and if people were to look at them they would see that on paper they are good selections!
I am a perfectionist and always strive for 100% winners each day where as many at the odds they put up certainly dont strive for that and cant do.
Thanks again for your input eventhou i dont think it is a crime to have picked odds on again.

Wasn't having a go Z .... was just an observation following the discussion mid-week about you changing your strategy.
Out of interest what does 1 point relate to in terms of 'bank percentage'?, sorry if you'v said it before and I missed it.
Best of luck this afternoon.

hi z, had a look at ur picks, agree about blackpool and swindon and definately will be backing peterhead big. The double peterhead/raith(also recommended by jhim so good enogh for me!) looks good value too but not sure about others. anyway here are my picks, the odds aren't great but after getting a hammering on the horses in the week i need a few bankers!

i've gone with: Sheff utd @ 1.58
swindon @ 1.90
Q.P.R @ 1.50
Leverkusen @1.84
Hamburg @ 1.73
Peterhead @ 1.45
Raith ...can't remember what odds i got!

all at 4pts each plus these doubles
peterhead/raith
swindon/Q.P.R
Leverkusen/Chelsea



If you have any suggestions please let me know!

No probs mate i didnt think u were having a dig and i know u were trying to be constructive!

As for my bank u werent have missed it as i have never said it and to be honest 1 of my faults as people have rightly said is my money management.
I dont bet in relation to a bank , i do a set amount per unit and stick to that and 1 UNIT would be my lowest value pick.
I dont have savings as such to be able to bet to a bank i just study form and bet on the ones i like even if they are odds on.
To be honest if u were to know my personal circumstances you probably would have a better idea of why i do things as i do.
I cant really afford to lose a 1p so that is why i bet like i do and i have to be pretty confident to do any selections and ok the ones over evens i have mentioned above may win, but i need to be confident!
I have mentioned this before and people have under stood and i dont want u then to come back saying i shouldnt be betting if i cant afford to lose.
I generally dont lose anymore over a season and dont aim to again and that is why u see me pissed off sometimes if i have been unlucky or have tipped poorly as i hate losing money
I know i know what i am doing and my email group which continues to grow really well must think i do also.
If i had endless amounts of cash i am pretty sure i would be more confident of things as i wouldnt have the concern of picking a losing selection.
Please dont slag me off for this as i love betting and is something that takes up a lot of my time when my wife is at work.
And becuase of my circumstances it doesnt make me any less of a tipster its just one of those things!

Thanks again for your words of wisdom

Scott aka Z aka Zland

+7.35

.35u Chievo X @ 3.00

GLTA

War? Hell NO!

Yet again there were some odd results in English leagues today!
Swindon not lost for ages against a team that hadnt ever won in swindon and lose 3-0
Bury at home to a poor away side who had not won in 7 at Bury and win 1-0

Europe

Espanyol doing well and on the up and playing a Barca team badly out of form and barca win 2-0

Cheivo not doing well the last few games against Inter who had won there last 3 without conceding a goal and Cheivo win 2-1


The Biggest 1 of all and the game that made the difference between me winning and losing was porto
They were away to maritomo who had lost there last 4 in the league and the last 6 on the H2H and Porto had won there last 13 league games!
I suppose the chasers will say a result was obvioulsy due like this but why lose when i need them again to win LOL
So overall a pretty average day eventhou i know my tips based on all current form were good picks!

STAKED 22 UNITS

RETURNS 16.25 UNITS

LOST 5.75 UNITS


So it has happened my first time out of profit since i joined the forum back in early August!






Good luck ALL with your bets and if ANYBODY has a question on one of my selections ask away and if i see it before KO i will put some info on why i have backed it!!
