Score, scorers and attendance predictions vs. Maidenhead Utd. 18.09.21 [NL]

An unconvincing response, in my opinion. An illogical post “catches” those who question it?

In predicting a score, I ignore the odds. I just choose the score I feel fits the circumstances - if I turn out to be wrong, I lose nothing. If the odds supplied for a different result appear to be “better value”, so what? There’s no money involved. Anyway, betting in the hope of making a profit over a lifetime is a mug’s game. The odds are in favour of the bookmaker.

You believe I made a typo and hit the 1 instead of a 2 key for the Notts score? Ok.

I would also completely ignore the odds if the prediciton thread wasn't linked directly to the Notts match day bet competition. I did the very same as you all last season.

This season its different. It's just a bit of fun but at least someone is keeping score with the match day bet competition, which heavily influenced my prediciton of 1-1.

As for gambling as a whole, over my gambling life I'm definitely not in profit too many mistakes when young. However over the past 5 or so years I'm comfortably in profit and haven't had to deposit any money into any of my accounts for the same period period of time. I can't take full credit for this or even half as my main source of success comes from a very very good and consistent tipper on the horses for the past half decade.

P.S. Notts will win on Saturday, odds are skinny so chuck them in a 3 team accumulator is my tip.

None of us live in your head Laddo, thank Christ. If you don't make it reasonably obvious what you mean, then at least one or two are going to assume you're being a bit dizzy again. We all get things wrong. I think your problem here is that you do not own your own mistakes. I've still got my "I think Paul Ince is a great appointment" t-shirt which I'll wear and wander past the mirror every once in a while to remind myself not to get too full of my own ****. I do recognise you have a sense of humour though and that you have taken a lot of flak here and haven't flounced off crying "boo hoo hoo people are being mean to me." so I respect you for that.

This is one occasion I have to agree with laddo, because I can say the same. I have nine online betting accounts. One of them has run dry, the other eight all have a fair bit more in them than when they were opened. I think applepie2 is only half right when he says "The odds are in favour of the bookmaker". If you are shrewd and only bet modest stakes, it's fairly easy to turn the odds in your favour.
