Plus Money Parlays

[kosti]

Hey guys. Have spent a fair bit of time in the past few months trying to create a profitable strategy for soccer after too many mediocre years with little to show for it. I reassessed the way I look at teams, matchups, and situations and I finally feel there may be something worth sharing. I've been paper betting since September and have started real betting since Jan 1st with similar results.

The bets will almost exclusively be Parlays that return + money, as well as straight bet half-time draws. Other stuff may be sprinkled in however the majority will be these two formats. The odds I post are the odds that I got when wagered...usually afternoon/evening of the day before.

I truly hope the picks don't get the "posting curse", but only time will tell!

And please remember this is in its infancy, so if you do decide to follow (or fade), do so with caution.

Bet #1: Club Brugge -250, Ajax -333, Austria Vienna -1000 = +100
Bet #2: KR Reykjavik -188, Paris FC -163 = +148
Bet #3: Russia U21 -400, Japan -275, Preston 1X -550 = +101
Bet #4: MVV O2.5 -200, Fram O2.5 -182 = +133
Bet #5: Infonet O2.5 -333, Colomiers U2.5 -163 = +110
Bet #6: Lucon U2.5 -188, Brest U2.5 -188 = +135

Over/unders have done worse than straight bets however I'm still trying them out.

Not too thrilled with the format I present the picks but if I decide to continue than I can find an easier to read way to show them.

Good luck everyone with your plays tomorrow.

Not an exciting day by any means. Will post tomorrow's plays later tonight or tomorrow morning. Should have mentioned this in original post, but all wagers (since they're +money) are of 1 unit unless otherwise noted.

Hope everyone was profitable today.

Bet #8: L'Aquila HTX = +105
Bet #9: Victoria (Honduras) HTX = +110
Bet #10: Port Vale HTX = +125
Bet #11: Burnley HTX = +100
Bet #12: Derby -150, PEC Zwolle -225 = +141

Lots of plays today, not crazy about playing so many however haven't found a good filter at this point to lower the number of plays without lowering the overall success rate.

A couple clarifications: for totals and half-time draws I am only writing the home teams name down as to shorten the post. I realize the "teamname O2.5" may seem like a team total play, but it is a total match play. HTX means Half-Time Draw. HT 0-0 means Half-Time exact score 0-0.

Again, please be cautious if playing any of these. Not sure why but Saturday's are by far the worse days over the last 6 months of tracking. Still trying to figure out why, possibly too many games to look through or too many plays that fit.

Good luck everyone with your plays tomorrow.

how the hell do you decide who gets bunched with who. anyways will be watching.

Great question, the pairings is something I've been looking at lately as I like to shy away from complete randomness. To be honest at this point it is a mixture of keeping bet types the same, confidence in matches, and gut feeling. O/U are shaky so I keep them away from the straight bets.

Sorry about this, but making a change to bet #3. Didn't realize Bahrain/Qatar match is totally meaningless and playing the under for that juice is not the right play. Game could be wide open. Going to switch it to Qatar 1X -294.

Bad call on Barca over. Need a good day soon. Tomorrows plays up in a bit, not much that excites for tomorrow's games but I'll post if anything comes up

Bet #1: South Korea (To Qualify) -275, KR -250, Argentina U20 -2000 = +100

Only the one play for tomorrow. If something else comes up I will likely post before 10am EST

Hate adding a ridiculous -2000 however the goal is + money parlays and it bumps it to +100.

Really wanted to play South Korea at -110 but something about the line scared me, glad we went 'to qualify'.

Tomorrows Plays up later
