Best Bet Soccer Winning Streak Continues

Monday, March 1st, 2010

bbslogo2cmBest Bet Soccer continues its winning streak into 2010 with net winning months in both January and February.

January’s selections produced a profit of £82.34 being 11.76% on total stakes of £700.

The February profit was £182.41 for a huge 45.60% on turnover of £400, bringing the average return for the year to date up to £264.75, a very respectable 24.07% on turnover of £1,100.

In all of the major European leagues there is much to play for at both top and bottom of the tables in the run in to the end of the season and we’re looking forward to some juicy soccer bets in the next few weeks.

Best Bet Soccer Selections — European Cup Fixtures — 9 December 2009

Monday, December 7th, 2009

bbslogo2cm

We’ve now have the opportunity to review the fixtures for the European Cup matches on Wednesday evening.

We start with group G in which Seville host Rangers. Seville have already qualified but need to win to ensure top spot. The match means nothing to Rangers — they don’t even have a sniff of Europa cup qualification as an incentive! Seville are very short priced and although we anticipate that they will win we leave them out of our selections. Unirea Urziceni are away to VfB Stuttgart. With Unirea on 8 points and Stuttgart on 6 this one could be a “battle to the death”. We anticipate that Stuttgart will have too much for Unirea and win to take the second qualifying place in the group, consigning Unirea to the Europa cup. We put them (Stuttgart) in our bet.

In group F Dynamo Kiev take on Barcelona. A point for Barcelona will guarantee qualification. All three points mean they would top the group. As far as Dynamo Kiev is concerned, a win could see them qualify, or achieve a Europa cup place, depending upon the result in the match between Inter Milan and Rubin Kazan. Inter and Rubin are tied on six points each. A draw may not be sufficient for either of them so both sides need to go for the win. We strongly support Inter to overcome Rubin and have no hesitation putting them in our bet. We’ll be leaving out the  Barcelona/Dynamo Kiev fixture.

We then come to what we consider to be the most difficult fixture. Although Liverpool cannot qualify we anticipate that they will put up a solid at home to Fiorentina. We cannot call this one and leave them out. In the same group Lyon are at home to Debrecen. We can see absolutely no way that Lyon will lose this one. However, we anticipate that the odds will be very tight indeed. We will keep our eye on this but will probably leave them out as representing poor value.

This leaves us with group H where Olympiacos host Arsenal and Standard Liege are at home to AZ Alkmaar. Arsenal have qualified and are certain to take top spot in this group. Olympiacos require a draw to ensure second place on points. There’s no doubt that they will be playing for the win but may find Arsenal just too good. We have to leave them out. Standard Liege have a remote chance of qualification if they win and take a place in the last 32 of the Europa league if they draw. We are of the view that they will go for the win and put them in our bet.

We therefore have three selections for Wednesday’s round of matches — Stuttgart, Inter Milan and Standard Liège. We’ll be backing them in a trixie and look forward to raking in the cash! we aticipate that a £25 trixie will return around about £330 giving a profit of £230 for our £100 outlay.

Preview of Champions League Matches for 8 December 2009

Monday, December 7th, 2009

bbslogo2cm

Welcome to the Best Bet Soccer preview of the European Champions League matches for 8 December 2009.

We’ve previously mentioned that we consider this round of matches just too difficult. There are several games where the result will have a direct impact on whether or not either or both teams go through. There are other matches where there is virtually nothing riding on the outcome. There are one or two which were simply too difficult to call.

Wolfsburg are at home to Manchester United. Manchester United are virtually certain of qualification. With their injury problems we believe they may have difficulty overcoming Wolfsburg. Wolfsburg need the win to be themselves almost certain of qualification. The result in the match between CSKA Moscow and Besiktas is a very difficult one to call but we can see a situation where CSKA absolutely overwhelm Besiktas and could steal the second spot if Wolfsburg don’t convincingly beat Manchester United. We’ll leave this group alone.

We then have FC Zürich versus AC Milan. AC Milan really should have the beating of Zürich and this would see them nicely through to the knockout stages, whatever happens in the match between Marseille and Real Madrid. However, AC Milan have been unreliable this season and we cannot support them. In the Marseille/Real Madrid match a win would see Marseille nicely through to the knockout stages and could leave Real Madrid with a problem. Given home advantage we can see Marseille at least holding out for a point but not overconfident in the outcome so will also be leaving this group alone.

Chelsea will be at very short odds for a home win against Apoel Nicosia. Although we expect them to win we cannot take them on at the expected odds. Particularly where the match means nothing to Chelsea but Apoel Nicosia need all three points to have any chance of qualifying for the Europa Cup there is a distinct possibility of a shock result. In the second match in this group FC Porto are also already through to the knockout stages. They play Atletico Madrid who with a win would be certain to take their place in the last 32 of the Europa cup. FC Porto cannot overtake Chelsea to top spot and therefore the match means almost nothing to them whereas Atletico both have something to prove and the certainty of a place in the Europa cup at stake. We’ll certainly be leaving this group alone.

That leaves us with group A where Bordeaux play away Maccabi Haifa. In the normal run of things we would expect Bordeaux to win comfortably. However, they are already qualified and guaranteed top spot. Although the Maccabi Haifa so far have no points this could be their big opportunity! The remaining match in this group really is the one with all to play for where Juventus are at home to Bayern Munich. With Juventus on 8 points Bayern on 7 where a draw will be sufficient for Juventus, Bayern really have to go all out for the win. With Juventus possibly at the end of a good run but with Bayern Munich apparently beginning to hit form this one really could go either way. We’ll therefore be leaving this one alone too.

No selections on Tuesday. Look out for our Wednesday review.

Best Bet Soccer Winning Trixie – 5 and 6 December 2009

Sunday, December 6th, 2009

bbslogo2cm

We have to crow a little about our soccer betting selections this week. After a few weeks with nil or only partial returns the Best Bet Soccer system picks produced three out of three.

We “kicked off” with Aston Villa who won comfortably, followed this up with Bordeaux and then Schalke did the business for us – although looking a little jittery at times.

Our £25 trixie (total stake £100.00) returns £253 for a profit of £153. Not huge but it’s a winner and not to be sneezed at!

When we were making our selections this week there were a high number of predictions. We’re regretting not putting up a second trixie – Portsmouth, Manchester United and Marseilles!

Although we’ve had a bad run we remain “in the black”. We’ve not had to add to our bank. We’ve not even had to introduce additional funds from the spare £200 held outside our betting bank. With this win we’re well set for the next few weeks and looking forward to profiting from betting on our selections!

We cannot see any value in the midweek European Champions League matches this week. There are a number of “dead” matches and there are others where, frankly, anything could happen with teams fighting for a place in the last 16 or in the Europa Cup. At this stage we think that these games are best left alone.

We’re looking forward to next weekend with keen anticipation.

FREE Best Bet Soccer Advice 14 November 2009

Saturday, November 14th, 2009

bbslogo2cm

Due to the restricted league fixtures this week we have a double rather than our usual trixie. We’re providing this FREE to our subscribers and those who have shown an interest in our service.

The selections are Portugal in their World Cup play off match and Southampton in the English League 1.

Several bookmakers are offering odds of 1-2 on Portugal and 8-13 on Southampton. At these odds a £100 double produces a potential return of £242.31 for a potential profit of £142.31.

Good luck.

Best Bet Soccer Review – 4 November 2009

Wednesday, November 4th, 2009

bbslogo2cm Since we last published a post we’ve made Best Bet Soccer picks for two  trixie bets.

On the weekend of 31 October/1 November our soccer selections were Juventus, Lille and Valencia.  Lille and Valencia ran out winners. However, Juventus from 2 — 0 up finally succumbed to come-back specialists Napoli and went down 2 — 3. The return for the Lille/Valencia double was £90 so a small loss of £10 compared to our £100 total stake for our £25 win soccer betting trixie.

On 3 November the Best Bet Soccer selections were for a Champions League trixie which included Juventus again, Porto and Chelsea. This time Juventus did us proud taking a one goal lead and holding onto it to run out winners. We believe them to be a good team and until they show us differently will be including them in our Best Bet Soccer selections regularly when they play anything other than top opposition. Porto scored reasonably late on also to win their match. Chelsea came from 1 — 0  down to take a 2 – 1 lead with only a few minutes of normal time to play and then allowed Atletico Madrid to equalise for what was, for them, a well earned draw. The winning double of Juventus/Port0 paid £71.97 resulting in a net loss of £28.03 from our £25 (£100 total stake) trixie.

We’ve reviewed the Champions League fixtures for this evening, 4th November, but consider that the selections we would make provide no value and will therefore be making no bet. We have had a preliminary look at the Europa League fixtures for 5 November and will consider these further for a possible bet tomorrow.

Hoping for good luck in the future.

Review Of The Best Bet Soccer Weekend Bets — 25 October 2009

Monday, October 26th, 2009

bbslogo2cm

Our three selections this week, backed in a trixie, started off well when Juventus beat Siena. We were off to a flyer!

The second leg didn’t go so well when Deportivo La Coruna made three disastrous defensive errors and went down 4 — 0 against Valladolid. This brought Deportivo’s good run to an end but we expect them to bounce back and we’ll be keeping an eye on them for a further opportunity to include them in our bet in the forthcoming weeks.

Or final selection, Marseilles to beat Paris St Germain, was postponed. With a trixie bet this postponement means that there is a losing double and the treble is settle on the double result. The bets for the two “impossible” doubles are refunded. Bookmakers may make a small deduction from the refund amount. Corals returned us £40.40.

All in all the weekend was not as good as we’d hoped for but not a total loss!

We’ll be e-mailing our subscribers our selections on Saturday, 30th October so keep an eye on your inbox!

Best Bet Soccer Champions League Review – 20 and 21 October 2009

Saturday, October 24th, 2009

bbslogo2cm

In this week’s champions league matches we really thought we had three as near certainties as it is possible to select.

Tuesday’s matches we considered to be tricky to say the least. This was borne out by the results. On Tuesday evening we were pleased that we have decided to concentrate only on the Wednesday games!

Our Wednesday selections were all at very short prices giving a total return on our trixie at odds of only a shade better than 5/4.

Our first selection was Chelsea. We expected them to blow away Atletico Madrid. After the first 15 minutes or so there was really only one team in it and Chelsea ran out convincing winners.

We also thought Real Madrid would have no difficulty overcoming AC Milan. They, AC Milan, seem to have become our bogey team. We selected them in our trixies several times in September and most times they let us down by failing to win. They’ve now put a spoke in another bet by overcoming the hot favourites.

Wolfsburg were at odds of 2/5 to overcome Besiktas. Although we felt the odds to be tight we considered them to be value on their home soil. Again it was not to be so our Champions League trixie did not even produce a double.

For such short odds we would expect three winners virtually every time. This round of Champions League matches has produced several results when the perceived underdogs have come away with at least a draw if not winning! We feel that is extremely unlikely that such a high number of  “shock” results will arise in subsequent rounds and will be keeping a close eye on them with a view to recouping the loss.

We have a high value trixie with all three matches taking place on Sunday, 25 October. Our £100 bet (£25 trixie) would produce a return of only a few pence short of £500 for three winners, potential profit very nearly £400.

Best Bet Soccer results — weekend 17th and 18th October 2009

Tuesday, October 20th, 2009

bbslogo2cm

Our Best Bet Soccer selections for 17th and 18th of October were not too successful.

We picked a trixie on each Saturday and Sunday.

On Saturday our selections were Bayern Munich (won), Bordeaux (lost) Udinese (lost) so unfortunately there was no return on our £25 trixie.

On Sunday we fared better with our three selections — Borussia Dortmund (won), Athletic Bilbao (lost) Toulouse (won) for a return of £106.07 for £100 stake giving a profit of £6.07.

We have studied the European matches for Tuesday, 20 October and concluded that there is no value in the odds on offer. It appears that there may be a betting opportunity for a trixie on Wednesday, 21 October. To find out check out Best Bet Soccer.

You can check out our weekend bets by visiting our website and checking our Best Bet Soccer screenshots.

We remain £720.09 in profit plus a further £100 we originally introduced into our betting account and we are holding the further £200 from our start up betting bank that we have not so far needed. All in all we continue to operate well in profit without having had to introduce additional funds since our original £100! You can check out our history of bets at Best Bet Soccer history.

Wishing you the very very best of luck.
