For somebody who is meant to be a professional in this game, it seems i was the last one to know about the new sponsors of the football league. Npower doesnt quite have the same ring as coca-cola to it does it? Anyhow, it all kicks off again today with Southampton v Plymouth live on Sky sports at lunchtime.
Norwich played Watford last night and i never got involved as I had to attend a (rather boring) showcase. I looked at the odds for the game and saw Norwich trading at around 1.90 which struck me as a bit odd considering they were only just promoted last season. How can they be odds on?
If ever there was a value bet it was to lay Norwich yesterday and it would have paid off big time as they were 2-0 down at halftime and lost the game 2-3 in the end. I must admit it was playing on my mind as to getting involved and you can imagine my disapointment when i checked the score to find out they had indeed lost!
However, I actually realised I was losing my discipline slightly. One of my main policies is always if im not completly sure about putting on a bet, DONT DO IT! The Norwich match didnt fit in completly with any of the football betting systems i use and was purely a value opportunity. However, I wasnt 100% sure so therefore it should have been and was a NO-BET for me.
Over your gambling career you will find many situations just like this, however you will probably find just as many go against you too when your not completly sure!
So just remember if your not sure, dont do it!
Going to do a bit of research on the southampton match now and decide my approach. The match is live on sky so I will watch the first 20 minutes before deciding to enter or not as it looks like a match that could suit the football trading system very well. But we shall see!
Happy punting everyone!
