discuit » Gambling http://www.discobiscuit.co.uk i'm getting a bit old for all this. Fri, 15 Jan 2010 13:22:51 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 en hourly 1 The System http://www.discobiscuit.co.uk/2009/09/26/the-system/ http://www.discobiscuit.co.uk/2009/09/26/the-system/#comments Sat, 26 Sep 2009 07:01:50 +0000 discuit http://www.discobiscuit.co.uk/?p=81 I was thinking about tryng to guess the results of football matches using a system, this is not inspired by Derren Browns Lottery Shite, this is inspired by 8 pints of Becks Vier.

What I decided was I would take the top 4 teams the top tiers of

England

Spain

Italy

Germany

France

Holland

Scotland

Portugal

I have also thrown in the Championship for good measure, I would have thrown in some more 2nd tiers but I couldn’t be arsed hunting anywhere past the BBC website for league tables.

This will give me 36 teams.

1 Chelsea 6 3 0 0 8 1 3 0 0 7 2 12 18
2 Man Utd 6 3 0 0 7 4 2 0 1 8 2 9 15

2 Benfica 5 1 1 0 9 2 3 0 0 7 1 13 13
3 FC Porto 5 2 0 0 7 1 1 1 1 4 3 7 10
4 Sporting 5 2 0 1 5 4 1 1 0 3 1 3 10
1 Barcelona 4 2 0 0 8 2 2 0 0 6 1 11 12

2 Lyon 6 3 0 0 5 1 1 2 0 6 3 7 14
3 Marseille 6 2 1 0 5 2 2 1 0 5 2 6 14
4 Rennes 6 2 1 0 5 1 1 2 0 7 3 8 12

Now we have these 36 teams, we slim these down by only picking teams that are playing at home this weekend.

Which Leaves me with

Liverpool
Man City
West Brom
Rangers
Motherwell (playing the 4th place team)
Hamburg (playing 3rd place team)
TSG Hoffenheim
FC Twente
PSV
Ajax
Juventus
Sampdoria
Benfica
Porto
Real Madrid
Athletico (Playing 3rd place)
Bordeaux (Playing 4th Place)
Lyon

I’m going to remove all the teams that are playing a team that is also in the top 4.

So now we have

Liverpool
Man City
West Brom
Rangers
TSG Hoffenheim
FC Twente
PSV
Ajax
Juventus
Sampdoria
Benfica
Porto
Real Madrid
Athletico
Lyon

15 Teams.

Now the final part of my system, is too only bet on  the teams that have won their last 2 games, so they have a bit of confidence.

Liverpool
West Brom
Ajax
Twente
PSV
Benfica
Real Madrid

This leaves me with a hitlist of 7 teams from 32.
So as a tester, i have put a quid accumulator on it.

and guest what.

It brings in just over 3 fucking quid.

Well that was a waste of an hour on a Saturday morning.

Where the fuck is Kilmarnock anyway, is it a real place? IT EVEN COMES UP IN THE SPELLCHECKER as mis-spelt.

For the record the other 10 teams all managed to win.

And now i’m down to 58p in my paddy power account.

I wasn’t planning on betting on the Carling Cup anyway, as there’s always a few shocks in that, as nobody really takes it seriously, apart from Everton, and possibly Spurs. I’d bet my house on Leeds beating Liverpool though, this is their cup final.

All of them

Or I lose yet again.

FC Twente @ 6/5
Panathinaikos @ 1/3
Rangers @ 2/5
Standard Liege @ 4/6
Bayern Munich @ 1/6
Newcastle @ 2/5
Chelsea @ 1/2
Real Madrid @ 1/8
Barcelona @ 1/3
Inter Milan
Juventus @ 2/9
Aston Villa @ 2/5
Arsenal @ 2/9

4 quid brings in around 350 quid

LIKE THATS GOING TO HAPPEN.

]]> http://www.discobiscuit.co.uk/2009/09/18/weekly-stupid-accumulator/feed/ 0 well that went tits up. http://www.discobiscuit.co.uk/2009/09/16/well-that-went-tits-up/ http://www.discobiscuit.co.uk/2009/09/16/well-that-went-tits-up/#comments Wed, 16 Sep 2009 08:03:10 +0000 discuit http://www.discobiscuit.co.uk/?p=30 So the midweek gamble has already come off its rails, Athletico Madrid were 1/6 to win that game, the stupid Spaniards. I should know better than to bet on a team that includes ex Manc Diego Forlan. Although we have Little Louis Garcia over there, and former red Pongolle with a distinct lack of mad hair these days. But still, it wasn’t enough and Athletico and Juventus ruined my bet.

I’ll see how I feel this afternoon, but the gambling account is getting low now. And my challenge of earning 500 quid off 14 quid is looking a bit of a joke after my early season confidence.

And this stands my gambling account at a measly £4.85

So we need to build this back up again, as I refuse to put any more cash into the account.

So i’ve gone for some certanties in my eyes.
