Looks nailed on to me but I have a feeling it may be a more defensive game from the Pacers as they're not gonna wanna lose again at home.

Agree with that. I don't like 184, if it was a bit lower I'd take it. Even last nights game ended up being 179. I think I'm going to take Heat -2.5, they were on a roll in the last game and have finally started to shoot well.

That's exactly what happened to me a couple weeks ago. My balance was at just over £60 and I lost it all on 2 singles. One was an ipl cricket game and the other was the copa del Rey final. I was absolutely devastated lol

I'm not even mad about losing money on the Turkey game, it was a goal in the last 10mins, but I'm ****** off that somehow St Patricks managed to score 5 goals in the 2nd half.

I have the worst luck ever lol.

I have decided I'm going to start betting on football properly at the start of next season.

I will be concentrating on League 2 and Conference football and will spend the summer investigating more obscure leagues. I need a league for which I can find live streams and get up-to-date teams news. I watch the A League, so will look into how 'bettable' it is.

I'm going to put a fair bit of cash in bookies specialising in Asian Handicaps, as this will probably be the only kind of bet I'll make.

I swear Ladbrokes give you the winnings :L

I once had a tennis bet on, it was 3 sets and in the second set the player I bet on was 5-2 up. She was very high odds and she retired. I only got a refund. She was serving for the match. **** William Hill.

For the match? Might do three singles and a treble. Not sure.

Very tempting to just lump on Heat and overs tonight, but I have a strong feeling it'll be Pacers and under. I just don't know.

Yeah I will be doing three singles. Looking at a few other games too. The Heat game is so hard to call, could put one argument forward saying Heat were on fire in the last game and another saying Pacers will need to win to have any chance of reaching the final. I think it will drop under the 184 total, wouldn't even surprise me if the game goes into OT.

If you want a 'nailed on' bet how about Los Angeles Kings to beat San Jose Sharks in the NHL.

Kings are on something like a 14 game winning streak at home. Look's like a safe bet to me.

Thanks for that.

My problem is that I'm reluctant to bet against the Heat. They just rarely lose, they score for fun. I may bang on the below 185- I think that's a terribly high line, but with Heat hitting 100 points frequently, I'm not convinced it'll be that much lower. I think I may just avoid the game.

I may just put the money on LA Kings. I've got £8 knocking around so I'll shove it on that I think.

Plus in the last 6 games between these two the home team has won. I also read a stat that said 70% of this season's nhl games have been won by the home team.

So I've got £10 on the kings and £10 on over 185 on the heat game

betting on league 2? - well youl certianly get good odds...

not something ive considred due to the volitile nature of the leauge, and it being much lesss predictable then higher leagues (though the championship is hell...) - but if you research enough and bet well enough to make a profit on it... fair play to you :smile:
