    Here You Go Mates - 2010/11 Soccer Picks

    Hey everyone, knew here. Having a go at soccer, which might be my biggest strength. I'll concentrate on European (English, Spanish, Italian, German, French, Finnish football) with occasional picks from other leagues.

    All my picks will have a stake from 1 to 5 depending on the confidence level.

    Thanks a lot!

    Not soccer, but Betfair is offering 3.7 for Ässät to beat Kärpät tomorrow (Oct 26th) in Finnish SM-liiga (hockey). Even with the new acquisitions of Kärpät (Martin St.Pierre, Petr Tenkrat, Pavel Rosa) that's a very good bet in my opinion.

    You aren't up +28 units but +8.78.

    Day 1:2-1

    0.00
    Leeds down 3
    -3
    Over up 3.84
    +0.84
    Napoli over up 3.6
    +4.44

    Day 2, following from the 4.44 units from day 1:5-3

    +4.44
    Madrid down 3 units
    +1.44
    Wisla 0.72 x 3 units = up2.16 units
    +3.60
    Barca down 4 units
    -1.60
    Forlunda 0.76 x 3 units = up2.28
    +0.68
    Assat 2.7 x 3 units = 8.1
    +8.78

    When you say +units, you should be calculating the amount of units you won minus the amount you lost. Correct me if I'm wrong. Also make sure you post your unit bets before you calculate them. One of the hockey bets you posted the units you bet /won after the game was done. I don't mean to be a downer just letting you know how it should be done. GL
