Bet #40 - The Fall

Okay, so all good things come to an end, and to be honest I feel kinda good with all this process, which proved that if you bet wise you should get to high places and make a lot money from it!

I got to $350 from $50 although some of the bets weren't "smart-bets" I think $150 was a totally profit of those "smart bets"which is triple from what I put in.

So as I said - don't go on baseball, or on the bet that I placed now that caused me to lose (I went on the favorite but way on the beginning of the game, I could place a bet on the 2nd set on the other player, smart bet and make a less revenue but sure one)

So there you go, that's all for now, this is the final pic for now, maybe I will try to make a big progress and advance with something better

Of course if I was playing with bigger money I would make withdrawals as well, but that is all was only a demonstration

Bet #39 - W Eschauer V F Fognini - Live Betting

Okay, so I got another "on the tip of the iceberg" bet, but this time with Tennis. Fognini (Italy) played against Eschauer (Austria), first set 6-4 for Eschauer, 2nd set 6-4 for Fognini and 3rd set 7-5 for Fognini after Eschauer had a Match Point in his serves. (It was in a deuce game)

I placed my bet in the 1st set because I felt like he's going to take this match, and even though it was tough for him I felt like there's no way he's going to lose this match, he's a better player when it comes to play on "tense" levels.

So instead of making 1% revenue it's 72%

Bet #38 - Atlanta At San Francisco - Live Betting

Don't ask me why, I just love baseball and I know I already said to not place any bets on baseball because this game is so dangerous to bet on (even more than Darts), but the game today was really one of the best I've seen.

Atlanta vs San Fran, PST (it was really late there) - Atlanta lead 4-0 until the 9th inning, and then I'm placing a bet, and then the big surprise comes 4-4!

Extra Innings come, game is so full of tense and on the 13th inning Atlanta scores 3 runs, SF scores only 1 but was close to do much more than that, game ends 7-5.

I love this game and I think it's the 2nd or 3rd time that the same thing is happening to me over & over again.

Here's the slip:

Bet #37 - R Van Barneveld V D Ovens - Live Betting

That was my first bet with the new website of William Hill, easy Darts game, although it's weird I got 1.005 because when I placed the bet it showed 1.01 but no complaints by me...

William Hill - New Layout

(Click on the picture to enlarge it)

William Hill has upgraded its website and changed the way it looks. If you got used to the old classic screen where everything is so simple then forget about it. They're now on the Flash feature and certainly in my opinion this feature isn't better than before, as the live-console (see pic above) works pretty slow and I think I already saw a few bugs there.

For instance, when you click on Deposit or Withdrawal you get a blank screen, those options don't work as far as I tried those. If you have it different or get the same issue feel free to drop a comment about it.

One more thing, I think the betting itself stay the way it was and that's the most important things. Unlike Bet365 William Hill still lets you bet until almost the final moment of the game, and as long as they keep this feature I see no reason as to why not keep on going with them.

Bet #36 - C Lloyd V M King - Live Betting

Bet #35 - J Part V A Warriner - Little - Live Betting

Darts - The World Championship, interesting sports and dangerous for sportsbetters in my opinion.
This game is based on points, not on time, just like Snooker and that makes it more dangerous sports to bet on. (much more than Tennis anyway)

I checked the bookmakers Bet365 and BetAndWin before running to place a bet on it. BetAndWin closed the bet, Bet365 offered 1.005 and William Hill offered 1.01 and I said I would go for it.
Match ended 10-5.

Here's the situation as it was when I placed the bet:

Bet #34 - Shenzhen Jianlibao V Man Utd - Live Betting

Manchester United played today against a team from China that I don't know in a friendly game.

The only thing that was important for me is to see Man Utd scoring 1 goal and that was enough for me to be certain it's gonna be easy for them, especially if they did it after 10 minutes (if it would happen after 30 minutes or more I would hesitate on this one)

So I placed my bet when the score showed 1 - 0 for the English team, the game ended 6 - 0 for Man Utd.

Bet #33 - 136th Open Championship - Live Betting

The last day of the Open Golf Championship (136th) was held yesterday at the east coast of Scotland. In some point in this championship there were 2 options for a banker:

1) Placing 2 equally bets (dividing your amount to 2) on Sergio Garcia and P Harrington, each odds on them was = 2.37
OR
2) Placing a bet on the winner during the playoff / before the playoff started, which was Sergio Garcia and P Harrington.

I must admit, there were too many surprises and I doubt if I would try Golf again, but there you go:

Bet #32 - R Nadal V S Wawrinka - Live Betting

I had no doubt Nadal is going to win this match, even though it was pretty difficult for him, but I expected William Hill in some certain point to raise the odds to 1.25 or 1.30 and it didn't happen even after a numerous breaks by the Swiss guy.
So, in-live betting for 4% after 6-4 (1st) and 7-5 (2nd):

Bet #31 - Vasco Da Gama V Atletico Mineiro - Live Betting

And for dessert, let's end the 21st day of July with a Football (soccer) game.

Vasco Da Gama, Home game for them, Brazilian League, 2 - 0, 75th minute, Red card for Atletico Mineiro, Vasco is the favorite to win this game, any other requests to make this bet a sure-bet?

Easy $1.03 (and while I started with $50.00 a bet like this would worth less but that's the idea of making an easy progress step-by-step I assume)

And let's summarize the whole progress so far after this day-full-of-bets yesterday:

Bet #30 - Enzo Maccarinelli V Wayne Braithwaite - Live Betting

A boxing match, for the first time in my blog.
Well, to be honest with you I don't like to make money out of 2 men who're trying to kill each other... well, maybe not kill, but you get the idea.
However, if it turns to be an easy profit of 5% of my bank - why not? After all it's all sports, no?

So, Enzo Maccarinelli was the favorite to win this match with odds between 1.20 to 1.30 depends on the bookie of course. The other guy, Wayne Braithwaite, didn't have a lot of chances and in the 5th round he got knocked down but still didn't lost the fight.

In the 10th round William Hill still offered 1.05 for Enzo to win this fight, and while we're at just a reminder there are 12 rounds in every match and if nobody is knocked out then the points are those who tell who's the winner and Enzo got lots lots of points, the other guy wasn't even in a state to think of a winning, I mean, he was okay to fight but no way he could even do something to Enzo.

Other Bookies:
Bet365 closed the bet already
BetAndWin offered 1.01 and that's what they did until the end of fight
And William Hill? Offering 5%? Best price, no chance to lose - let's take it!

And here, as always, is the confirmation:

Bet #27 - Tottenham Masters V West Ham Masters - Live Betting

Have you heard on Indoor Football/Soccer?

Those games weren't started yesterday, also this kind of tournament was held a few back ago, but I decided to check closely what's up there, especially when the games yesterday weren't only examined by William Hill but also by BetAndWin and BAW has the live-feature to show you what's the current score and how much time is left, as you can see for instance in this picture:

(Click on the picture to enlarge it)

It's pretty simple, it's much more easier to score goals and every half is 8 minutes only, no break between those halves, only for switching sides.

I don't remember the exact scores in each of those small bets but I had a strategy to place a bet on small odds when of the team is leading by 3 goals (or 2 goals if it's the favorite team to win, you check who's the favorite before the game started) and there's about 3-4 minutes for the end of the 2nd half.

Results were totally as expected and the other team was never closed to tie the game or win it, and in a match I didn't see it coming I simply didn't place any bet.

So here's the first slip as confirmation:

(Click on the picture to enlarge it)

I'm going to refer the other bets in this field to this one, so all the info is here, bet #27.

Bet #26 - Salford V Bradford - Live Betting

So there you go, I'm going to list some nice bets for yesterday (July 21) and let's start with this Rugby game.

So I don't know much about Rugby but I've been watching some games a few times, like football (soccer) there are 2 halves, each one is 40 minutes.

At the end of the 1st half in this game for instance Salford led 8 - 0. That shows up on a low scoring in this game. I checked Bet365 and BetAndWin - they gave in their "normal bets" handicap of +2 for Salford (Salford wasn't the favorite to win this match though), and in addition, they had an estimate of 26 over/under in their bets.

Now, William Hill is offering +12 for Salford? 2nd half, 30 minutes to go after 10 minutes passed, score is still 8 -0? With 14% !!!

That's a big WOW, might not be for you because you might usually catch high odds but this is a non-risky-14% bet!!

So, match indeed ended with a low scoring 14-10 for Salford (I guess the money-liners didn't expect that, everyone exepcted Bradford at least to take the win but not me)

So there you go, easy jump, easy 14%:

(Click on the picture to enlarge it)

I need to sum up things and make the rest of my bets for yesterday summed up for you, so stay tuned, in a few hours it will all be up here, there were too many bankers yesterday, and I'm not talking on 1% bankers, I'm talking about making like 20% yesterday without a single fear of risking it!

Cheers

Bet #25 - Auxerre V Liverpool - Live Betting *G-I-F-T*

Well, I know lots of you guys are looking for bankers or odds of 1.80 and more, but for me small odds is something as well.

Closed to the 80th minute of this Friendly match between Liverpool and Auxerre, the English team had a lead of 2 goals to love (2-0) and William Hill offered 2% on that one! Damn, I would put even $10k on a bet like this, it was totally a gift given today!

Bet #23 - T Berdych V F Lopez - Live Betting

Lopez, surprisingly today did 6-0 on the 1st set and on the 2nd set when it was 5-3 for Lopez and 30-0 in the 9th game I placed my bet on Lopez. 2nd set ended: 6-3.

Bet #22 - R Nadal V P Kohlscreiber - Live Betting

Nadal is in great shape after Wimbeldon, he almost took Wimbeldon and I had no doubt about him today, so shortly after the match started and it seems like Nadal is in a good shape today I placed my bet.
I must put a note, that I didn't expect William Hill to offer during this match odds of 1.25 on Nadal! I don't know what those guys there were thinking but if I had that chance of course I would take 1.25 (this odds were given when no break was made by either each sides and actually Nadal during the time they did so was leading and serving pretty well).... so.... things like that happen, if you catch them - way to go!

(Click on the picture to enlarge it)

And this is the progress so far:

By the way, if you're reading this post now pay attention to Berdych and Lopez - it seems like Lopez did 6-0 on the 1st set and the odds for him - 1.50 right now.

Bet #21 - G Monfils V J Vanek - Live Betting

Today's Tennis game Monfils was the favorite to win this match, however by looking at the live-score (via LiveScoreHunter.com) you could see the change from the 2nd set. Althouh Vanek was a bit lucky, in the 3rd set it looks like Monfils can't break him and Vanek on the other hand, does it pretty easy.

So after the 2nd break, 5-2 for Vanek - I placed my bet on him, and match ended 6 - 2 in the 3rd set.
Just for the record 1st set Monfils won 6-1, 2nd set Vanek won 7-6 (7-4 in the tiebreak)

Bet #19 - Werder Bremen V Liverpool - Live Betting

So yesterday there was a really interesting game between Werder Bremen and Liverpool, I'd say it was more than just a regular friendly game, this game was all about showing who you are, and both teams tried to do their best.

However, by watching the game I could notice Liverpool was more stronger, and WB almost and didn't have a lot of chances to score many goals, not like Liverpool anyway. So on the 60th minute when Liverpool turned to score from 2-1 to 3-1 I placed the bet, it seems to me like a banker. Although on the 85th minute WB made it 3-2 the score remained that way and Liverpool took the win.

(Click on the picture to enlarge it)

So, the progress so far is a bit more than %100 progress (turned $50 into $100 plus 96 cents) and let's try to keep it that way!

Bet #13 - Gaelic Football - Dublin V Laois - Live Betting

I know nothing about Gaelic Football, but today there was a huge banker of 5% at William Hill.

Gaelic Football is 70 minutes and on the 50th minute Willhill offered 2 types of bets:

1) Dublin to win - 1.05
2) Dublin to win (-3 Handicap) - 1.16

Is that a big difference between those two? NO

And that's not all!

At Bet365 the money-line on Dublin was 1.01 and willhill offered 1.05

Willhill did it, in my opinion, to convince people to go on the handicap betting, and at bet365 the handicap there was around -7 for Dublin

With this information which takes 1 minute to review it all - you should go for the easy 5%
