Olesen 50/1
Pepperell 66/1
Migliozzi 80/1

[Ben]

Eddie seems a little overpriced there. Rory skewing the market.

[Jimmy Floyd]

There's a reason Rory skews the market.

[Don]

South Korea very tasty price tonight: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/66667180

Also Bulgaria kicking off in 3 hours against Iran might be worth a tickle at a huge price.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Bellingham to have a shot on target has been boosted to 2.5 on Betfair.

£10 max stake.

Free money.

[Baz]

Internationals have ruined the 40+ booking points accumulator so I’ve just gone one on this week, on twelve 3PM league one and league two games. Gone big though. £250 @ 21.53/1

16:20 cash out alarm set.

[Lofty]

If you are looking to cash out at 500 would it not be easier to just back something at even money?

[Baz]

If you are looking to cash out at 500 would it not be easier to just back something at even money?

I can’t explain it. The cash out is always crazy good. It’s a money making scam.

And I don’t cash out at 500, I cash out at 4:20pm. I expect it’ll be about £1100 minimum.

[Foe]

Would any of them actually have come in if not cashed out?

[Baz]

Would any of them actually have come in if not cashed out?

No.

[Foe]

Top, top work.

[Ben]

What’s booking points? Do Bet365 do it?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

10 points for a yellow, 25 for a red.

Bet365 don't do it but they do let you bet on the number of cards in a game.

[Ben]

So 4+ yellows would be pretty much the same thing? Or is it worth jumping onto one of these wanky sites that does points just to cover the red?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

4 yellows would be 40 points, yeah.

I've never really ventured into booking points but I would imagine that the odds would be better on the wanky sites (Betfair might do it) because a red is so much more valuable than a yellow.

[Baz]

I’m informed that Bet365 don’t offer similar.

On skybet you go to football > accumulators > all > scroll to T > total booking points > select all 3pm games for either 30+, 40+ or 50+

Since I’ve been doing it, even if I’d picked all 30’s, it wouldn’t have come in. I don’t understand why they ramp the cash out up so much.

[Lofty]

To clarify, it's over 40 booking points in all games, on 365?

Edit:

[Lofty]

I can only assume you have flummoxed the algorithm for this particular market with the number of selections, but they will notice and adjust it eventually. May aswell go balls deep in the meantime.

[Lofty]

My cashout is dogshit

[Baz]

Aye. Not gonna do international weekends again.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

CMC/Dobbins/Chase/Justin Jefferson to score TDs @ 14.58
AJ Brown/Josh Jacobs/Keenan Allen/Justin Fields to score TDs @ 28.26
Lamar Jackson/Isaiah Likely to score TDs @ 6.36 (also have them as singles as well @2 and @ 2.8).

[Baz]

I’ve got Philadelphia to be the last unbeaten team.

I was going to be on Rai for this, but forgot / didn't have time to place the bet and am now seething.

[Lofty]

Any news on Barrington's Bookie Bashing experiment this weekend?

[Baz]

Forgot to do it

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Roschon Johnson (Chicago Bears v Tampa Bay Bucs) to score a TD @ 4.5 on Betfair.

Game kicks off at 6pm and that's cracking value.

[Manc]

Theegala sauntering home.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Well batted. 16/1 seems a bit miserly from the bookies given he hasn't done that much for a while.

[Baz]

Based on @SpikeyM’s ITK, I’ve had a nibble on Maidenhead.

[Lofty]

Am I right in thinking the shithousery of Newcastle might rack up some yellows tonight, or is continental refereeing a myth these days?

[Don]

Al Nassr -2
Milan and RBL HT double.

[Baz]

Gordon yellow plz

[Don]

Man City -1 at HT at over evens

[Baz]

My betting group had a spinoff group and now have all joined another group. Bet on north Macedonian cup earlier.

[Manc]

French Open

Bjork 18/1
Paul 25/1
Otaegui 33/1
Kimsey 55/1

[John Arne]

AFC Cup starts tonight, which means teams you've never heard of playing against teams you think you may have once heard of...

Shan United v Macarthur FC
Dynamic Herb Cebu FC v Phnom Penh
Ravshan v FC Merw
$6 on the treble at 4.

[Ben]

Shan United

[Ben]

Fenerbahce - Villa - AZ @ 4.5 in an attempt to make this joke cup a bit more interesting.

[Don]

What is this seemingly new(?) data representation of games available on Bet365 as 'timeline' and recorded on Soccwreay as 'excitement index':

https://uk.soccerway.com/matches/202...ol-fc/4239201/

It doesn't seem to merely be a graphical representation of attacks/dangerous attacks and so far it's proving fucking incredible for me, I'm reading it like Neo. Anyone got a link to an explanation behind it?

[Don]

Got £750 on Koleosho and boys to bring me joyful scenes.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Zhang to win in rounds 5-8
Zhang to win in rounds 7-12.

Hopefully Joyce takes a nap in round 7 or 8.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

O5.5, 6.5 and 7.5.

Let's see what Newcastle are made of.

[Offshore Toon]

Such a noob bet. Every top team takes their foot off the break in this situation. I'm not watching, but when we've battered sides early under Howe we've sat back in the second half.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

It's why I've only put a couple of quid on.

Edit: Although that's profit, would be nice if they grab 2 more.

[Baz]

Good bet.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

One more would be sweet.

[Offshore Toon]

I'm not watching so not sure what's happened but everything I said was true. I hope you get your eighth goal tho, Ho.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I'm not watching so not sure what's happened but everything I said was true. I hope you get your eighth goal tho, Ho.

I watched up to the 6th, the Blades have just completely shat the bed. They've defended so poorly.

The turning point was Harvey Barnes getting injured and Gordon coming on.
