Typical England. Would have got my bet back if you guys didn't do such a half-arsed job of it. And Georgia well, it was always a risk even if they led again in terms of creating chances.

We go again with nice boosts here:

Game 2: Inter Miami CF - Atlanta United FC. Miami WIN @1.94. Betcoin odds: 1.95

[buwaytress]

Horrible parlay in the end, I have no idea what I'm doing, do I?

Mixing it up today with some 1st half over/unders, hoping for high-energy Chinese games and then pad it off with what should be an easy PSG win and Seattle thumping? Insurance!

Game 1: RC Lens - Paris Saint-Germain FC. PSG WIN @1.69. Betcoin odds: 1.70
Game 2: Seattle Sounders - San Jose Earthquakes. Seattle WIN @1.70. Betcoin odds: 1.70

^my eyes are on PSG today too, the price for this match is great, maybe caused by their problem with covid infected players, the self isolated are: Di Maria, Icardi, Marquinhos, Mbappe, Navas, Neymar and Paredes, but I still believe that PSG will win this one

Looks like we all missed out on a great upset from PSG. I did say after CL final that they could have a rocky start to their season (Teams either become very strong or very shaken by such a defeat, look at Spurs!). Too bad I totally missed the pick!

Anyway, Watford begin their season and I'm taking this lovely Sportsbet 5/1 pick:
Corners Over 7.5, Over 1.5 Goals, Yellow Cards Over 2.5, Handicap Watford -0.5
100 units parlay special at Sportsbet @5.00. Normal parlay: 4.28

Running units after 434 bets (73W|361L): +13,016.15 (-100)

[buwaytress]

Watford were good for the win, but I took a quick look at their lineup and realised then why they were over 2/1 to win, almost a completely different team save Foster in goal. Tough, very tough, but I'll keep backing them to go up (7/1 to win Championship even!).

ANYWAY today is the first day of English Premier League, and a NEW SEASON begins for me!
So, final tally for Season 2 after yesterday's loss stands at:
435 bets
73W|362L (20% win haha)
+12,916.15 UNITS!

Final Numbers for Season 2 (25 June 2019 to 11 September 2020):
1. Starting bankroll: 10,000 units
2. Ending bankroll: 22,916 units (122.9% profit)
3. Total Bets: 435 (73W|362L) for a 20% win rate
4. Total Units Gained from Odds Advantage: 14,971 (An average of 34.41 units per bet!)

I'll update that into OP as well, but we keep a running tally of Cumulative units gained.
==============================================

And to kick it all off, Sportsbet have a great, great 10/1 parlay for Liverpool's front three to all net a goal so that's my pick for the day. Call me stupid but opening day and Klopp and Liverpool love each other.
100 units special at Sportsbet for Mane/Firmino/Salah all to score @10.0. Regular parlay: 9.45

100 units parlay on Spurs, Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool to all win @7.0. Regular parlay: 6.25

[buwaytress]

Mane could have scored, and Firmino should have pulled the trigger on two occasions, but Salah hattrick and a huge opening day win suits me just fine too. 4 disallowed goals on both sides too, phew! Nevertheless, still alive on our parlay!

Sportsbet always makes it worthwhile on these 5-leg parlays with free insurance and boost, so here we go (sorry Leg 1 is playing right now I thought I clicked post on this a whole while back!

Game 1: LOSC Lille - FC Metz. Lille@1.70. Betcoin odds: 1.70

Can't believe we missed out on another PSG upset haha,,, I thought Neymar would come in and win it all but 5 red frenzy hit the French leg. Villareal too, ugh, coulda won it many times.

Simpler, tougher parlay?

Game 1: Sheffield United FC - Wolverhampton Wanderers FC. Wolves WIN @2.65. Betcoin odds: 2.48

Seems like the Belgian regulars in Europe are having a shitty time this new season. The Gents and Genks losing, Antwerp and Brugge below qualification phases. Strange times in a way, and damn them for giving me a loss like this.

Game 1: US Pergolettese 1932 - Atalanta BC. Atalanta WIN @2.47. Betcoin odds: 2.48
Game 2: Sevilla FC - Levante UD. Sevilla WIN @1.38. Betcoin odds: 1.38

[buwaytress]

Our first win of the new season! Atalanta won comfortably, while Sevilla had to fight back from 2 goals down plus a last min goal, so there you have it with odds. Easy underdog win and tough favourite fightback. A comparatively modest win from a 3-leg parlay but that wipes out our losses and brings us back to par, while getting our wager numbers up across our books (yay).

Here's a traditional upset. Georgians vs Russians, both from the capital, and only based on form.

Europa always makes my day in early stages. Upsets are rife and conditions are fertile for bookies to give us special odds. Very good game, was actually surprisingly comfortable even with all the yellow cards. Tired players gave away a penalty in the end but it was all still good for 2-1 outcome.

OK, weird selection I hardly do, but early season 1st half flurry hopefully? Free insurance haha.

Game 1: Bayern Munich - Schalke 04. Bayern HT 2+ goals @1.64. Betcoin odds: 1.65

usually I don't bet on Ligue 1, and when I do, trying to gain more profits it end like today...

btw, congrats to Bayern on that amazing win

Yeah, bloody Lyon. Reminds me of times when Liverpool were just before and right after Klopp. Crazy possessions but wholly incapable of breaking teams down even though they can beat the big boys.

Anyway, I'm going for a nice Palace upset. They managed it already, even with injuries, but Zaha do up the ante against a United who might, could be, suffering from media distractions? I hope so =p

Manchester teams give me such joy. It's really surprising that odds are so hugely against their opponents when on the field you can clearly see there is not so much a gulf of quality. So satisfying to win these picks too, schadenfreude

I'm not yet decided on matches today, but I'm really liking the odds on Liverpool, it's been climbing so clearly people think Chelsea could pull off an upset here, so good for me!

Going to use my winnings for another boost, so instead of 100 units, I'll put a big 500 units bet. I rarely do this, but let's get silly.

Well done. I thought Mane would gift me my glorious injury time first time winner but to be fair, the red card was probably worth more in the end... as it killed Chelsea off.

I'm doing a stupid bet but the math tells me this is good value, as it had been below 7/1 all day until now 8/1 with a boost. Let's go for Serie A risk on Milan too as a parlay:
Game 1: Wolves vs City. Wolves WIN @8.04. Betcoin odds: 7.54

So you did not manage to stay away from Wolves. I also pointed valid reasons in the other topic to skip this one today and ended up playing it with the bonus on SB, same as you. Damn, we deserve to lose these tickets today.

I had another on Schwartzman to win 2:0 against Djokovic @15.5 today and it looked promising in the beginning, Schwarzi started with 2 breaks but in the end Djoko was his usual self at the tail end of sets.

No I did not... the fact that the odds rose to 8/1 (okay, with boost haha) made it just too irresistible. I still think Wolves wins 1 out of 5 matches with City, so that's always going to look like very good value to me. Anyway =)

Feeling good about tonight. Will give Watford a chance to reboot their season, West Brom to prove they're better than people think, and some tight wins for Russians and Czechs in tonights European qualifiers. Boosted and insured, yay.

Awful. Watford just can't get out from the dumps, West Brom actually allowed the draw and then lost out on penalties, but you know what, well done to their opponents. Right, another Europe qualifier and Carabao Cup matchup. Let's back another Premship team KO:

Game 1: Molde FK-Ferencvarosi TC. Molde WIN @2.24. Sportsbet odds: 2.21

Horrendous underdog pick last night, sorry about that. And totally bombed on Sheffield and even Molde heh heh but at least our MLS boys and Stoke carried us over the line. Also, fixed the errors in total bets and odds advantage, which only noticed now.

Anyway, remember Lokomotiv Tbilisi? Next up's Granada. Granada want this badly and should be a walk in the park for them but hey. If the bad boys from Georgia could defeat an old enemy in Russia, why not some Southerners from Spain? at 50/1? Any time of day haha.
