Superbowl Poll

[kered]

1 Giants with 12.5 point start
2 Patriots by 12.5 or more

[kered]

ive bet on the giants not sure whether to cancel it out or not as have overstaked on them.

[presto]

giants +12.5 for me.

though if you have overstaked, it's much better to cancle it out with a lay than let it ride.

[vegyjones]

I fancy the Patriots to overwhelm the Giants tonight.

Pretty much like last year when my Bears didn't rise to the occasion.
I know that Eli Manning is'nt anywhere near as bad as Rex Grossman,
but I reckon it could be anti-climaxical for anyone looking for a close
run game, but should be plenty of stuff to enjoy from the free playing
Pats regardless.

did £ 20 on giants plus 12.5 should i completely cancel it out or just most of it?

[kered]

i cancelled it out then did £ 2 on the giants so would make a small profit as am nearly £ 9 up for the year so didnt want to risk losing £ 20 as would be very annoyed it i lost that much. put it on originally after a losing streak.

it all depends on your betting bank, and staking plan.
for me a max bet would be 5%
but a handicap bet i wouldn't stake any more than 3%. most probably less.

so a 3% bet of £20 - i would want a bank of around £600+ off the top of my head.

not sure on your knowledge of NFL, but if you are betting for the sake of it being a big event. Then i would seriously consider reducing it.

it dosn't matter what the result will be right now, (don't think i could have won £X ammount, or DAM i just spunked £20 away - after the event).
What does really matter is 'sound betting practice' which in the long run will always be the correct way of thinking.

i think you know what you should do Kered :wink

i think you know what you should do Kered :winkStop gambling! :thumbs

[kered]

i believe i can win this year as i won last year

[kered]

i cancelled it out then did just £ 2 on the giants with a start.

i cancelled it out then did just £ 2 on the giants with a start.OK.

So what's your betting bank for NFL bets? How does that compare to your bank for horse racing?

Why have you gone for the Giants with a 12.5pts start? What are you basing your bet on?

[mathare]

Actually Kered, where have you put your bet on? Most places seem to have an 11.5 or 12 point spread rather than 12.5 so with 12.5 I really hope you got odds against (which you won't have done)

Got to agree with you Vegy, I fancy the Pats to win big tonight. I can see Eli Manning having a poor game, and Tom Brady just doesn't do anything but perform in these kind of situations

betfair

[mathare]

betfairAnd what price did you get? Did you shop around comparing prices and handicap lines? Is your bank big enough to support £2 bets? If not, why did you choose Betfair when the bookies will accept much smaller bets?
