BetVictor Golden Goal

Image
The Golden Goal is BetVictor 's weekly free-to-play Football prediction game, which will typically focus on the late afternoon televised Premier League fixture every Sunday. To play, simply predict two outcomes in the selected match each week: the first goalscorer and the time of the first goal. I talked about  pool compeitions   before. The key is predicting the predictions so that you can weigh up your share versus the likelihood of winning. Better to have a 1% chance of winning £25,000 than a 10% chance of winning £100. BetVictor released some information on selections after the Euro Final. The two favourites (Griezmann and Ronaldo) accounted for over 50% of the predictions. This seems disproportionate to the odds of either scoring first. More than likely choosing the obvious players you will be sharing with a lot of people.  The times were mostly picked in 1st half with 17th minute most likely. Also popular were the 45th minute and 90th minutes. These ...

Shop Around

So you probably shop around for your grocery shopping, or for your petrol to get the best value. Obviously the same applies to bookies. Some bookies will offer better odds than others and sites like betbrain, oddsmonkey and oddschecker will help you find the best value odds. Now a new concept for me is that you now have to shop around for the best odds at the SAME bookie. Often they will offer different odds for the same outcome. For Example: For the Liverpool vs Dortmund Champions League match on 14th April 2016 BetBright who are usually quite competitive on odds offered the following odds. Quite clearly these are all the same event, 0-0 draw, no goalscorer, no team scores, less than 0.5 goals. However depending on the which market you decide to put your €10, you will be walking away with either €75 or €110 profit. The worst case being if you bet on Under 0.5 goals. In this case the bookie gives you €75 and keeps the €35 difference between that and the fairer ...

Bet Unfair

Read my blog for the tips that bookies do NOT want you to know. The proof is that they continue to restrict my accounts for using the strategies I share here. Betfair have ordered a restriction on my account. So they join the growing list: William Hill Ladbrokes Sky bet Paddy Power Betway Betfred 888sport The list now also includes Coral and 188bet (who still allow me bonuses but is basically unusable thanks to stake restrictions on horses). In betfair's case I received this email - ironically just a couple of hours receiving a separate email inviting me to take part in different promos. With betfair their promotions had been decent but not great. The horse offer was frustrating. Basically you place a bet at 3/1 odds or higher and if he wins then you get a free bet to the same value of your original stake. I stayed clear of this one as 3/1 price had to be the SP. After backing a couple of horses, and and then watching their SP drop to under 3/1 and so missing out...
