Selections for Sunday 19th October 2014

I wrote an article for my eletter on this subject, focussing on Banker Bets and showing you how we can profit from them.

I’ll list some apparent “bankers” in this post, and time permitting, will try to do this daily. I try to look for 1.1 odds or higher. The goal is to win back your initial stake and bank that immediately, then play on, banking profits every £10 or so.

This is not a strategy where I’m trying to create the biggest odds returns. I want a “banker”, a bet which is obvious.

Yesterday

11am – Nomme Kalju v Trans Narva  – 1.13 home side – shorties in Estonia usually deliver. 1-0 win

1245pm – Ross Co v Celtic  – 1.33 away – more a case of need to win for Celtic who are not in the best of form. They are behind 2 teams in the SPL. – 0-5 win

230pm – B Munich v W Bremen  – 1.12 home – yes, Bayern have a Champions League match next week, but have an average of 6 goals scored v Werder in the last 3 head to heads. – 6-0 win 

3pm – Rangers v Raith  – 1.28 home – 6-1 win

3pm – Red Bull Salzburg v SV Ried  – 1.12 home 4-2 win

5pm – Roma v Chievo  – 1.33 home – 3-0 win 

7pm – Barcelona v Eibar  – 1.12 home – another win to nil on the cards – halftime/fulltime perhaps? – 3-0 win

745pm – Sassuolo v Juventus  – 1.44 away – I was going to include Chelsea and Arsenal today as bankers but their odds are like Juventus’s , near the 1.5 marker – is this down to the up and coming Champions League matches. – 1-1 draw

745pm – Covilha v Benfica – 1.24 away – 2-3 win 

Tennis

345pm – Tomas Berdych v Matthias Bachinger  – 1.11 Berdych –  win 2 sets

Only Juventus let us down yesterday. They did come from 1-0 down so I profited by backing them 1-0 down and trading out when they equalised.

Today

2pm – Panathinaikos v OFI  – 1.38 home

4pm – Braga v Alcains  – 1.06 home – a Portugeuse cup match and a hope the home team scores before halftime to offer more generous odds.

7pm – Steaua Bucharest v Uni Cluj  – 1.24 home – playing at home and expected to win
