Tottenham Win @ 4.4L
Wigan Win @ 13.29W

Really unsure about both of these for a variety of reasons. Swore I wasnt gonna touch chelsea games after how they played city...

Sunderland Win @ 2.11W
Aston Villa +1.5@ 1.98L
Bolton, Blackburn O2' @ 1.752W
Wigan +1.5 @ 2.06W

gl

today: 4-2 +13.212u
ytd: 22-16 +20.112u

it feels good binking all these longshots. apparently betting against liverpool every week is profitable.

note: all of my bets have been risking 1u. ill think about doing something different next season because i dont think this is standard. what do you guys do?

i think it makes sense to risk to win the same every time. i'd be happy to hear different opinions tho.

^^^^^

clarifying the above post..

assuming your confidence level is the same, i believe standardizing the "to win" amount is the way to go.

I'm not talking about betting 1u plays, 2u plays, etc, if you believe you are more confident in some than others.

Seems like an app. place for this question...
What was the closing line for the WBA Newcastle game today? Moreso, where could I find this in the future so I don't have to make dumb posts such as this?
I have a discrepancy with a friend of mine on the line and he is okay with taking whatever this thread (or the information provided in this thread) says as fact. So, can anyone help?

And, yes, I will make sure to clarify everything in the future so I don't have to waste your time.

Thats bad ass.
I have another question, but I should probably preface it.
I look at sports betting as something fun to do, but also quantifies my obligation of giving action to get action. I am not a pro at it or even a weekly punter, just a few (under 5) bets a month.
Without my philosophy (technically a losing one) in mind, was taking Wigan at 10/1 a good wager? Clearly results oriented here, but I am willing to look at the big picture.

A unit can be different to everybody but it's just the amount you bet. Some guys units might be $100, $500, etc. It all depends on your bankroll.

1/2 unit play

Fulham Win @16.27

am i missing something here? the only way i can justify this line is that united are fighting for the title and fulham have essentially nothing left to play for this season

edit: and the lines moving. pinny has it at 17... dont understand why at all
