UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE FINAL vs NEDBANK CUP

In EUROPE, UEFA Champions League Final and it's Man United vs Barcelona and Man United are the underdogs. This represent a great opportunity to make a nice profit. The good news is that other sites are offering 1 for Barca and 3 for Man U. You can win if you bet on both these teams. Let's take an example- let's you put R10 for Barca, your return will be R10. If you put R5 for Man U, your return will be R15. If Barca wins,  you are R5 richer and Man U wins you are also R5 richer. So if the game ends in 90 minutes with one team winning, then you are guaranteed yo make profit. But if they end on a draw then you will loose R15. So it's up to you, you can always multiply these odds until you reach your expected profits.

In South Africa, it's Pirates vs Black Leopards. Well it's obvious that Pirates will win this trophy, I don't see Leopards upsetting them. Pirates are in a good form and they are looking forward to their 3rd trophy after winning the ABSA Premiership and MTN 8. The best odds is offered by World Sport Betting (0.45) followed by Mbet (0.40). Betxchange is offering 0.35 and Sportingbet is giving you 0.25 if you bet for Pirates.

The odds are against me

After disappearing for weeks, I decided to come back and continue with my blog. I was busy in such a way that I couldn't get the chance to update my blog.

My 1st edition of weekly updates on betting features the games that were played over the weekends. Looking at Barclays Premiership ( England), there were no surprises as Man United, Arsenal and Tottenham all wins their games. Liverpool played a draw and Chelsea will be playing tonight. In Spain Real Madrid is closing the gap while Barcelona has dropped vital points. In Absa PSL (South Africa), there was a big game between Pirates and Sundowns. This is a top of the table clash as Sundowns is trying to close the gap and on the other side Pirates is consolidating their position.

If you have bet, this would have been a great weekend as majority of the favourites teams have won their games. But for me, it was the opposite, as I lost several games. This is due to betting for doubles and trebles which I think is a very unwise decision. I will talk more about that in future. Here is a snapshot of this week results.
