If you're like me and you love betting on football, you will be looking ahead at the begining of the new season next week. I've picked a few bets for the week. I'll accumulate them Arsenal v Fulham on 11/08/2007 Arsenal to win @ 3/7 Chelsea v Birmingham on 11/08/2007 Chelsea to win @ 1/7 Man Utd v Reading on 11/08/2007 Man Utd to win @ 1/5 Aston Villa v Liverpool on 11/08/2007 Liverpool to win @ 10/11 Everton v Wigan on 11/08/2007 Everton to win @ 4/7 Derby v Portsmouth on 11/08/2007 Portsmouth to win @ 11/8 £1 on it will bring in £12.70 at William Hill I'll have £10 on it for a £127 return. Who's got any tip for me? Akin Football Matters More When There's Money

Portsmouth to beat derby at derby is tricky. It's their first premiership game in a long time
and they are at home.
The atmosphere at pride park will be so terific. Reminds me of Reading at home to Middlesborough day one of last season.
Generally, your accumulator is alright.

Actually, all week one games are always difficult to bet on because most of the teams don't get into their strides early enough. But I just have to jump into it. I've waited long enough. Akin |

Those were not the predicted scolelines. Those were the prices per match. If I say Liverpool to win @ 10/11 it means with your N11 you will win N10 (plus your initial N11) you will get back N21. You don't even have to predict the exact scoreline, just the outcomes like Arsenal to beat Villa, Derby to draw with Reading etc. I had £10 on Man Utd to draw with Chelsea yesterday at 21/10. I got bact £31. (Penalties are not included) I can give a little tutorial here about how it's done if you're interested. Akin Alabi |

You have a point. That might end in a draw. Coral offers 11/5 for a draw. If I change it to a draw then my £10 will bring in £249 That is tempting Maybe I'll do one for a draw and one for a Liverpool win. But like I mentioned earlier, it is still the first week so it is difficult to say. But I've been bored all through the break and I can't wait to jum in. I don't mind losing part of the £31 I won at Man Utd Chelsea draw yesterday. Akin Alabi |

@Akin

Betting on football is run the same way irrespective of the league. I bet on the premiership most times because that is the league I watch a lot. I sometimes bet on other european leagues as well if I get good prices. Akin Alabi |

I've got a short tutorial for those that are interested in learning how to bet on football. Here we go, Bettting on football matches is all about staking bets against bookmakers. It is different from betting against one another. The bookmaker sets the price of a particular football match and you decide to place a bet. The harder the match prediction is, the higher the potentials of money returns. For example, if you say Derby County will beat Manchester United at Old Trafford then the money returns will be high and vice versa. The monetary returns is calculated by odds. So if the odds of say Arsenal to beat Chelsea is 6 to 4 (6/4) it mean that if you bet with N4 or $4 or £4, you will win N6 or $6 or £6. You will also get the amount you bet with so you take back N10 or $10 or £10. Different bookmakers set differnt prices that suit them. It's your duty to pick the best price. I love using William Hill. They give good prices. It's FREE to join.http://www.willhill.com/iibs/EN/sportsbook.asp?aff=a46791OI use Coral as well. Their website is easy to navigate. Get a FREE accountthere. http://clkuk.tradedoubler.com/click?p(992)a(1406207)g(993855) I also use Paddy Power. You can use the link below to register for FREE!http://clkuk.tradedoubler.com/click?p(23656)a(1406207)g(11380431) All you need to get started with is to open a FREE acount. You can then begin to fund your account. I can help you fund it. I'm only interested in the football betting there so I just ignore the horse racing and others. Note that you can also bet on other match outcomes as well. Outcomes like, - Exact Scoreline - First Player To Score - Accumulation of matches And lots more. You will always get the latest odds on the bookmaker's website. Happy betting. Akin Alabi Football Matters More When There's Money

You're right and I wonder why the US is not listed while virtually all the other countries in the world are listed.  I have a friend in the US that used his Nigerian address to register and it works well for him. Give it a trial |

I believe US is not in the list of countries allowed to place bets probably because there is a US policy against online gambling (mind you i said gambling like in poker rooms and all). This is mostly to reduce online money laundering. It could have extended to all aspects of online bettings as well, I do not know for sure though

To Repenlish, How does the topic that is been disscuss there got to do with ARSENAL having a babies in their team, You just have to focus on the topic and forget arsenal, You said u are a CHELSEA fan, Where were when Chelsea were been humulited by MANU. Are u not ashamed been an Chelsea fan, Let me tell u a little screct, Arsenal won 2 tropies within one week beating the likes of INTER MILIAN, AJAX, and other great teams that i can't really remember now. so keep quite ok and listen to the topic here.

While compiling my bets for this weekend, I decided to put some money on the top scorer's award. I had money on Drogba last season and it was good for me. Look at the current prices for this season.
D.Drogba 4/1
C.Ronaldo 8/1
W.Rooney 8/1
D.Berbatov 12/1
R.Van Persie 12/1
B.McCarthy 14/1
M.Owen 14/1
F.Torres 16/1
A.Shevchenko 18/1
C.Tevez 20/1
D.Bent 20/1
E.Da Silva 20/1
F.Lampard 20/1
What do you guys think? You know the prices will change as the season progresses so this is the time to lock the prices.

Jayceesh,
I bet you are right. William Hill have a casino/poker section on their site and I bet when the US banned online casino's.
William Hill just played it safe and blocked all US accounts.
It is a shame really because most online poker players were americans, now the tables are hardly full since the ban.
The US are really funny when it comes to onlime gambling and it is only becuase they cannot tax it like the real casinos.
Anyway this week I will try and do an accumulator of like 5 matches.

One will tend to go for Drogba at 4/1 at Coral. But the business for me is Tevez at 20/1. That's a massive price. I'll have a fiver on it. I'll coplile my final bets for the weekend tomorrow. Cheers, Akin |
