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

1pm – Opatija v Dinamo Zagreb – 1.1 away – the gulf in leagues is such that if Zagreb play a first team, they win with ease. 1-1

16:00 UK Zenit St Petersburg v Arsenal Tula – 1.1 home – should win this Russian Cup match. –  1-1 draw 

18:00 UK Magdeburg v Bayer Leverkusen – 1.2 away – German Cup match and Bayer Leverkusen have goals in them if they are up for the cup.1-1 draw

19:00 UK UD Cornella v Real Madrid – 1.04 away – look at over 4.5 goals or something like that 1-4

19:45 UK Roma v Cesena – 1.2 home  -Seria A and Roma really should win with ease 2-0 win 

To be honest there are tonnes of matches today as it is cup day, where it’s minnows v big teams.

Of the above, I guess Zenit, and Roma would stand out for me.

245pm – Jeremy Chardy v Roger Federer  – 1.11 Federer – he cannot keep winning, but is playing some of his finest tennis for a long, long time. Fed won in 3 sets

245pm – Grigor Dimitrov v Pablo Cuevas  – 1.17 Dimitrov – Quarter Final and Final in his last 2 tournaments, Dimitrov is looking to confirm his trip to London. Cuevas is ranked 24th so is handy. Ultra safe perhaps laying 2-0 set wins for Cuevas – Dimitrov win in 2 sets

Cup matches must be taken off the list I think! The one football bet that came in was from a league match, Why I left out Bayern Munich, Hoffenheim  and Tottenham I don’t know.

Today

No football today as it is predominantly cup matches.

130pm – David Ferrer v Fernando Verdasco  1.29 Ferrer – playing superbly in the run up to London. has won the last 7 head to heads, 5 of them 2-0

630pm – Pouille v Federer – 1.08 Fed – 2 sets to nil for Fed is a goer today although he did drop a set yesterday against Chardy.

830pm – Djokovic v Monfils – 1.18 Djokovic – 10 /10 for Djokovic in head to heads.
