My betting diary

[efialtis]

I have been betting on sports quite successfully for many years now and thought I would start a betting diary here in this forum. Anyone who wants can of course follow my bets, feel free to do so - in the end though, this is not the main intention of this thread and most importantly: please only bet with money you can afford to loose.

Please do not expect this to be a highly professional diary - I will just write down the events along with my picks, the respective odds and mark them green (if won) and red (if lost). I will not share my exact stakes for the time being. I will be tracking all of my bets in this opening post. I am kindly asking you not to "spam" this thread - you are more than welcome though for "real" discussions even though these should be related obviously.

This thread is now self-moderated - as mentioned before, you are welcome to post stuff that makes sense - all "random" posts will be deleted though.

Yes, random post should be deleted in this thread. By the way, what are your basis with the picks you made that you shown in your post?. I want to know what did you base on your pickings for this to happen because some people (especially tipster) that they only give random picks to people that will only made them lose more, win less or worst than losing money from betting.

[efialtis]

I have never tracked it mate to be honest - I am surely winning but this has not always been the case. When I began, many many years ago, I lost lots of money... money to buy cars...

I am betting mostly on football (or soccer if you wish to call it so) and basketball.


I have added new picks for the day - you guys can be assured that all picks I am posting are well researched  - obviously I am not placing bets without analyzing in advance. Anyway, even though I will definitely not post my complete thoughts on the picks I am posting, I will try to write a few words whenever I find the time to do so.

So for Djurgarden - Malmo: Both teams are in good shape and its a big derby in Sweden. Last week Djur only played 1-1 at home - with a win today against malmo they would only be 3 points away from the top. Their form is 5-1-0 in the last 6 matches.

Malmo on the other side won 2-1 at home vs Orebro last week and it will be important not to loose in order to keep their rivals at distance.

Both teams definitely have what it takes to score in this big Swedisch duel and Goal/Goal paying 1.86 is worth a shot.


Just added two new picks for the day - without going into detail:

Firstly we have Stabaek vs Sarpsborg, quite a difficult match. Very likely though that both teams will score. Then I chose Helsingborgs home win vs Sirius - just the better team and they wont give away points at home.

[Stalker10]

Gret job until now mate!
Keep up the good work 

[efialtis]

Added new picks with some nice odds - lets hope it continues like this

[Stalker10]

Have you any service for tracking your bets (blogabet or other) ?

[TheRealAwesome31312]

Your current ROI is 29.94% which is pretty high. It will be interesting to see what your weekly and monthly return percentages are.

[efialtis]

I didnt intend to add live bets to my "diary", which is why I am not posting it in op... but if anyone is reading... fluminense - ceara Over 3.25 @2.02 is a great bet now and I am taking it.

They could play until tomorrow that did not appear more goals in the second Half 
I had Over 2.5 and I also screwed up. 
The corners went well: P

ROI for just 16 bets don't give info at all , but would love to see OP start tracking that
it's a big plus that all picks are included in OP so there is nothing to hide , but would be nice to start updating how many units were made total with ROI as well

if all bets are 1 unit then ROI isn't a problem

Well... more than enough chances to score with one goal not having counted... some bad luck!

Where did you get this bet "16.07.2019 - Olympiacos vs Nottingham: DC 1X & Over 2.5 goals @2.25" ?
I do not find it on bet365 and looking at https://www.oddschecker.com/ this market is not available in the best known bookies.

I have just created one at blogabet in order to keep track without having to do the maths on my own here.

Another good day Just added new picks.


Just added my new picks of the day - unfortunately rather late as most of these are beginning in a few minutes... Feel free to pm me for my blogabet page in order to receive updates automatically.

[Stalker10]

Going well today 

[efialtis]

Going well today 

Crazy good day


Just added new picks for the day - lets see if we can keep up the good run. Very confident with both picks today, crossing fingers.


Yesterday wasnt good... lets see if we can turn this around today. Added my newest picks from todays champions league qualification matches,

[DarkDays]

So far it looks like you have an approximately 60-70% success rate, which is pretty good considering many of your bets are at 2:1 or higher.

Do you keep a log of your winnings per week, and the amount you spend per bet? Would be nice to see if you're placing equal size bets or not, or if not. how you distribute your funds.

I didnt do this before but last week I created a blog at blogabet in order to keep track.


Yesterday was great - only winners. Those CL & Europa League qualification matches are nice for betting. I have just added todays picks, Aris being my strong point at home in front of their crowd.

[Haunebu]

Your hit rate is pretty good so far op. I see that you are betting primarily on the money-line. Why don't you consider betting on unders and overs since you seem to have good knowledge of the sport?

If you can compile a well researched 10-30 accumulator of unders and overs, you could stand to make a lot in the short term if all your picks win.

24.07.2019 - BATE Borisov v Rosenborg: Yes (Both Teams to Score) @ 2
24.07.2019 - Ferencvarosi TC v Valletta: Over 2.5 (Total Goals) @ 1.5
24.07.2019 - NK Maribor v AIK: Home Win (Full Time Result) @ 2.37
24.07.2019 - Red Star Belgrade v HJK Helsinki: Red Star Belgrade & No (Result/Both Teams to Score) @ 1.530

Congrats on your wins, mate!

I usually bet on @2+ because I like to rely on luck rather than on my knowledge about the teams' previous performance. I think anyone can use Google to determine which team is stronger, so to win really big, one should bet against the knowledge. Glad to see that you won two of those too yesterday.

It has varied in the markets ... Not only 1x2, but O\U, BTTS and Win To Nill...

Making a very nice work at the moment

Thanks man - if you followed some of the picks lately, you might have won some pocket change just like me. I am not doing this professionally, not pay for my living via betting - my stakes are too small to live off it - but it can be a nice bonus.


Aris disappointing me... too bad, I was confident they would grab a win at home. Anyway, all in all another good day and I will be adding new picks shortly.

[Stalker10]

Yes I´m following all your picks mate, here and blogabet.
Last days very nice. Lets see how 3 days now full of games if the trend persists. 

[efialtis]

Picks added - Today from Austria, France, Russia and Finland. Lets see if we can have a good start to the weekend, which is full of interesting matches. The new season is getting started!


Morning everybody.

I have added new picks for the day - yes, the odds are quite low mostly but they still provide value in my opinion. Many options today with a full program. Good luck everybody and have a nice weekend.

[Stalker10]

Thanks mate! Blogabet bug, completely buggy right now. I will change as soon as it lets me!


Just added todays MLS picks as well - gotta love the goal game there!


MLS went well except Chicago - I was really confident they would get 3 pts at home but okay... Added new picks for the day. Have a nice Sunday everybody.


I have just added my picks for Monday - all in all the weekend went quite well even though it could have been better. Lets hope for another good week and gl with your bets everybody.


One more note - since I have a couple of days off, I will also be playing live bets throughout the day... I wont post these in the thread though, just for your information.


I have added new picks for tomorrow - its champions league time and we have some very interesting matches!

By the way... I gotta admit, posting all those bets here manually is really starting to get boring and time consuming... Not sure how I will go on, maybe I ll just post my blogabet and anyone who likes to follow can do so...


Just added todays tips for CL qualifications as well as AUDI Cup - in addition to those single bets, I am thinking of going with a system 5/6 today...

[Stalker10]

Too much confidence for today?

[efialtis]

Very confident today actually... but hey, this is sports betting, you never know. Still, I have already placed the system bet in addition to my single bets.


Time for Europa League qualification and I have added my picks. Some nice odds, lets see!


Levski failed completely today - very surprising 0:4 defeat at home... Other than that its been a great though - if Trnava holds the lead and wins, the weekend can come! =)


Trnava made it as well so we had a really nice day! Just added a couple of picks, more to come a little later.

[Stalker10]

You are going very well mate ! Thanks for the money

Yes, the evening wasnt too good unfortunately - FRA 2. league can be tricky. All in all still some good days lately.

Hey guys,

I am sorry but some of you were right - too much hassle manually pasting all those bets every day so I will close the thread now. Feel free to pm me to learn my blogabet service (free) if you like.
