Yeah I'm the same -- expectintg Montrose to be a shade odds-on by kick-off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FortescueFotheringhamSmyth Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 I dislike having bets carry over to Sunday, but the Saturday prices don't have much value. I used to have a bad habit of leaving "the change" in online accounts. If I had a return of £258.45, I'd draw out the £250. If the bookie had nothing I fancied for a few days, I'd get fed up looking at the £8.45 and stick it on a stupid mug bet. This was especially easy to do on Betfair. I no longer do that, but no funds in an account means no Livestream. I stuck £20 in Bet365 about a fortnight back, so I could watch something crap on their site. Not a bloody thing I've fancied since then that Bet365 have been best price on. I'm getting very itchy with the urge to throw the £20 at something. These bookies are cunning wee scrotes. I've the same views as everyone else. Montrose, Falkirk and the Arabs. Tempted by Alloa, but they're flaky... & I'm not sure Clyde's midweek cup loss to Founded July 2021 FC can be taken at face value. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derry Alli Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Had a quick skek at the out rights and Ross County at EVS to finish in the bottom two got me a wee bit excited. Hopefully still at that come 5pm (and my coupons come up) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FortescueFotheringhamSmyth Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Idle punt. Should leave the SPFL & League Cup well alone today. I note Dundee are in from 31/20 when I was toying with backing them last night to 13/10 now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice to both beat the closing line and win. Not sure what price they went off at, will check tomorrow when the resource sites get updated. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BinoBalls Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 This week’s example of wrong odds features Queen’s Park who are 6/4 or even 7/4 (McBookie) to win at an Alloa side who are not the force of recent seasons under the “leadership” of Barry Ferguson. If they kick off at anywhere north of 7/5 I will be very surprised. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were as long as 9/5 at one point for some reason. Now as short as 11/10 with best price 8/5. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were as long as 9/5 at one point for some reason. Now as short as 11/10 with best price 8/5. 9/5 is crazy. I think most bookies price games based on a rating system of clubs as a starting point. To the detached observer, they probably still rate Alloa as a lower-end Championship level side. This is where P&B is useful: a few pages on the Alloa thread and you can tell how disillusioned they are with BF's management so far. Saying that, I had £20 on Stenhousemuir last weekend at 3/1. They kicked off at 2/1 and I was all proud of myself but they still lost so it mattered f**k all in the end. Hopefully QP can do the business this weekend and actually earn us some money. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 North of 4/1 for Ayr away to Caley seems generous. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FortescueFotheringhamSmyth Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 Forfar @ 17/10 with Betfair's fixed odds arm looks the most out-of-line price to me. Can't see a lot to go with it in an acca. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FortescueFotheringhamSmyth Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 (edited) B@$t@rd! First World Problems! Laptop just went off. No power. Looks like the cable's f***ed. I'm sure I've a spare somewhere... but it's not in the shoebox of spare leads, chargers, cables, adaptors, batteries, etc. I better not have run out of almond milk for my cappuccino... or organic vegan spread for my avocado on toast! It's fiddly trying to do stuff on a wee phone screen. Meanwhile, in Zaire... and Yemen... and Afghanistan this week Anyhooo... I should be leaving well alone when I fancy the square root of feck all, but I've made a donation to Betfair. Disgraceful that I didn't donate it to a charity in the field in Afghanistan. What a c**t, eh? Next thing you know, I'll be voting Tory. Edited August 21, 2021 by FortescueFotheringhamSmyth typo 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingTON Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 I wouldn't have touched the Morton game with a bargepole tbh. QP are now down to 11/10, so I'm happy with my single placed at 8/5 midweek. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagfox Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 I wouldn't have touched Stenny either. Cowdenbesth have done okay so far. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BinoBalls Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 Would be nice to spot value and actually get a winner.... this week I already see Forfar chalked up at 10/11 most places. Again I can't say for sure they're going to beat Stranraer at Station Park but I'm also close to certain that price won't last. Forfar looking pretty decent so far this season while Stranraer -- who have downgraded their squad somewhat on last season -- are looking pretty shambolic at the moment. Just watched an interview with their manager who looked utterly broken while claiming any team who gets into the final third of the pitch against them looks like they're going to score. Obviously they could come out fighting or Forfar might get complacent, but, unless there's a Covid outbreak in Bridieland, that 10/11 won't last. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This also caught my attention when skimming through the fixtures last night, as did Hibs at home to Livi. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BinoBalls Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Not sure Patrick Thistle should be 8/11 or 4/6 at home to Morton today? Not that Morton are world beaters by any stretch but I suspect the two clubs are of a similar standard and as such I wouldn’t have Thistle clear odds on for this. Pleasing at least to see Forfar cut to 8/13 most places for today. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
