Selections for Monday 22nd December 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

21 Dec 16:00 UK Benfica v Gil Vicente – 1.12 home – 1-0

3-0 to Villareal, 3-0 to St Etienne and Dundee United beat Celtic. Sometimes it is well worth following the shortlisters inplay. As the match unfolded in France for example, it was clear that St Etienne were the dominant force. Ditto, watching Celtic concede early would have luckily put you off them.

Today

530pm – Panathinaikos v AOK Kerkyra – 1.25 home – Pana did suffer a recent 2-4 loss to Xanthi which is a little offputting, but they tend to beat Kerkyra in head to heads to nil. All Kerkyra losses this season have come against 11th and higher home and away. Pana are 4th.  Kerkyra did lose 2-1 to 1st and 5th so this might be a tighter win for Pana today.
