Our bet this weekend got off to a bad start when Bulgaria were trounced by Cyprus. However, there were good wins from Austria and the Czech Republic to give us a return of £66.21 from our £100 stake for a loss of only £33.79.

We placed our bet with Stan James where our £100 trixie produced a potential return of £323.13, potential profit of £223.13. You can check out a screenshot of the bet.

We must admit, we are not keen on the final rounds of the qualifying competition although it appears to us that there may be one or two good opportunities in the midweek matches this time around. We will, however, be pleased to see the return of the major European league competitions.

For a change we were tempted by the Los Angeles Kings who were way to St Louis Blues in the National Hockey League. A small wager of $100 produced a profit of $40.

We also had a series of bets on the NFL where we were successful with the Kansas City Chiefs, Detroit Lions and Denver Broncos. In each case we bought sufficient points on the spread to pick up the win. Unfortunately the Tennessee Titans let us down. However, a $100 bet on each of the four produced a net profit of $170. We have $100 riding on the Miami Dolphins, kick off 1.30 AM UK time on 13 October.

This is the last week we will be publishing or bets in advance. Henceforth they will be provided only to our subscribers. We will be proofing our bets and then publishing the results in arrears.

We have two trixies for this weekend, one for today, 3 October, and one for tomorrow, 4 October.

For today’s bet we have selected Wolfsburg, Rennes and Lyon. We placed the bet with Totesport where our £25 trixie, total staked £100, produces potential returns of £367.84 for a potential profit of £267.84.

For our second bet, all playing on Sunday, the selections are Sampdoria, Hamburg and Marseille. This bet we’ve placed with Stan James, again a £25 trixie, where our £100 stake produces a potential return of £307.20 for a profit £207.20.

So here’s hoping this weekend!

Apologies for the late notification this weekend due to technical problems.

Wishing you the very best of luck.

Welcome to this review or of the Best Bet Soccer September 2009 results.

We finished up the month with a net profit of £297.76. But for AC  Milan letting us down three times when, frankly, they were playing vastly inferior opposition, our profits would have been in excess of £1500! AC Milan was our most selected side in September. There’s obviously something wrong there somewhere and until their results show signs of improvement we will resist selecting them again.

Bayern Munich did us well, winning on two of the three occasions we picked them up. On the third occasion it would not have mattered had they won because Inter Milan and Marseille were also beaten in one of our rare total losses.

In all we made 33 different selections during the month. Of these there were 24 winners giving very nearly 75% overall success! This resulted in most of our bets providing at least a partial return, if not an actual profit.

We got off to a flier for October with Everton, Dynamo Zagreb and Sporting Lisbon all winning producing a profit of £493.62. With Everton having won, Dynamo Zagreb 3-0 up well into the second half but Sporting Lisbon only 1-0 up we decided to hedge against Sporting and risked £25 on the draw and £5 on them losing thereby reducing our net profit for the night to £463.62, with which we are extremely pleased.

Long may it continue!

When we checked out the prices of the Europa League matches for tonight we simply could not resist an additional bet this week.

Although Everton have to travel to Belarus to play BATE Borisov they look absolutely nailed on to bring home the three points in group I. We consider this to be an important match for Everton as they have Benfica at home and away in the next two group fixtures. Six points in the bag before meeting with them would put them in a strong position, whatever the outcome of those Benfica matches.

In group A, Dynamo Zagreb also are very much on a “must win” mission away to FCU Poli of Romania. Having lost their opening group match to Anderlecht, Dynamo Zagreb really must win this one if they are not to lose touch with the table toppers in group A.

Our final selection is in group D where Sporting Lisbon are at home to Hertha Berlin. Hertha Berlin managed only to draw at home to Ventspils in the first group match and they lie at the foot of the Bundesliga table having won only one of their seven matches this season. Conversely, Sporting Lisbon had a good away win in their first group match and they are doing reasonably well in the Portuguese league. Their defence may be slightly leaky but we cannot see Hertha Berlin giving them too much trouble.

We placed our £25 trixie with Stan James where our total stake of £100 a would produce an estimated return of £593.62, £493.62 profit, if all three selections win.

Tonight our FREE selections are from the European Championship fixtures where a number of the matches seem to be overwhelmingly one-sided.

We have four Best Bet Soccer picks which we have backed  as a single accumulator. Because of the outstanding chances of selections they are very short priced and betting on the trebles simply would not produce worthwhile returns.

Our four selections are AC Milan, Chelsea, Bordeaux and Real Madrid. Our accumulator, placed with Blue Square, if successful, should produce a return of £257, £157 profit, for a £100 stake.

Good luck.

Three of four of our midweek selections won to give us a profit of a little over GBP 100 from our 4 GBP 10 trebles and 1 GBP 10 accumulator.

For this weekend all of our selections are on Saturday: Inter Milan, Bayern Munich and Marseilles. Our bet with William Hill (click link in sidebar to bet) should return over GBP 400 and a profit of over GBP 300 for all wins!

Longer odds this week so here´s hoping!

We are not going to crow in this post about the results this weekend. However, we have to mention that our trixie was fully successful returning over £150 profit. At the time of posting we are also on a roll with our second bet for the weekend — a perm of four trebles from four selections with a four up accumulator. AC Milan, Sampdoria and Toulouse have already won this afternoon. We are waiting on Valencia this evening for our “full house”. Whatever happens we will not be hedging on or against Valencia. We stand to lose a maximum of only £19 on that bet and will sit tight for the bigger potential profit of £289.99.

Why we are publishing this post is because of the situation we’ve witnessed in the Chelsea versus Tottenham game this afternoon. There’s no doubt that when Keane was brought down in the penalty area it was either a penalty or a dive. If the referee did not give a penalty (as was the case) surely he had to go with his convictions and book Keane for the dive! Was he afraid that by booking Keane this could have led to a later enquiry that would have shown up his shortcomings? It is obvious that the penalty should have been given. Without a doubt the referee’s error had a significant effect on the outcome of the game. It’s all very well to say that Chelsea went on to score two more goals and won comfortably. Had the penalty been given and Tottenham had scored for 1-1 the opportunities that Chelsea had simply would not have come about. The game would have restarted from the kick-off and been totally different.

Surely the time has come, in this modern day and age where the technology is available and with so much riding on the game (it could mean the differencebetween winning the league or not for either side at the end of the season) we have to make full use of it, use as many referees or “officials” as necessary and possibly use replays during the course of the game to ensure that the outcome is not affected by an erroneous decisions!

Part of the reason for not using video evidence is that it would delay the game. However, although not in this case, there are often such arguments on pitch about the outcome of a decision that more time could be saved by using video evidence than lost! We believe it really is time to reconsider the situation.

We’ve come up with a second bet this weekend.

Our problem was that we narrowed it down to four matches and couldn’t decide which selection to omit. We therefore decided to change our bet and instead of a trixie we’re going for a four timer accumulator and the full perm  of four trebles.
The matches we’ve come up with are AC Milan to beat Bologna, Valencia to beat Sporting Gijon, Sampdoria to beat Siena and  Toulouse to beat Le Mans. We’ve back them in four (that is a full perm of) trebels and a four-time accumulator at £20 each being a total stake for the five bets of £100. We’ve placed our bet with William Hill and the potential return is a total of £389.93 for our £100 stake.

This is a follow-up to or original bet where Aston Villa and Newcastle United have already won. The final outcome of that bet is resting on Inter Milan tomorrow afternoon.

Check out the odds with William Hill.

With the fourth selection we need even more good luck with this bet!

Well, following last week’s successes we have what we consider to be three absolute standout selections this week for our Best Bet Soccer trixie.

We start in the UK where Aston Villa are at home to Portsmouth. The odds of  2/5 on the face of it do not appear to be over generous. However, Aston Villa have recovered well from a poor start to the season and Portsmouth really are in the doldrums.

Our second selection is also in the UK, this time in the Championship. We have no hesitation in going for Newcastle United to beat Plymouth Argyle. To us Newcastle look certain to make an immediate return to the Premiership whereas the way Plymouth Argyle are playing at present they appear to be destined for League One. Again the odds of 2/5 do not appear to be over generous but given the outstanding chance of Newcastle we feel that we must put them in our bet this week.

Finally we make our third selection in Italy, tomorrow (Sunday) afternoon where Inter Milan are a way to Cagliari. The odds of 7/10 offered on Inter seem to us to be extremely generous and could well be worth backing as a single.

We placed our bed with Totesport where the potential return of £251.34 for our £25 trixie (potential profit £151.30) is marginally better than those we could find on offer elsewhere.

Regards and good luck.

What a good few days for Best Bet Soccer.

OK, one of our two weekend trixies was a total loss but the other produced a return of £342.61 for a profit of £242.61 and our midweek Champions League trixie also produced three winners for a return of £261.94 and profit of £161.94. We staked £20 on hedge bets on the midweek one but the result is still a Best Bet Soccer net profit  of £284.55 over the three bets.

Remember that we set up on 16 March with a betting bank of £300, introducing £100 for our initial bet and holding the remaining £200 available if required. To date we have not had to introduce further funding, the initial £100 and subsequent winnings fully covering all bets. We still have the £200 “in our pocket”. Yes, we’ve had to introduce funds to different bookmaker accounts and withdraw from others to obtain the best odds available and due to the time the withdrawals take we’ve had to sub the deposits for a day or two but the net effect is that we are running on only the initial £100 we introduced!

If we can continue our current run for a week or two we’ll be at the point where we will be increasing our stakes and then things should really get interesting. Why not subscribe to the Beat Bet Soccer FREE email course to receive details of our staking policy?

Regards and good luck.
