Sunday acca

Hi, my Sunday acca hung on way longer than I had it down for. I only needed 1 more leg after the early games and that never happens for me! It makes me think these Sunday lines are a better spot than the Saturday ones, even if the prices lo…

Early cash out or just let it ride?

I’ve got a live ticket right now where the cash out keeps popping up way earlier than it should, and it’s annoying because the number is nowhere near what the position is worth if you just leave it alone. It was a 3 leg parlay, 2 legs alrea…

Underdog bets

I keep ending up on dogs in the +180 to +260 range because the price is the only part that looks worth taking. Favorites at -170 and up just don't do much for me unless the matchup is way off. My slip this week is 5 underdogs, 0.5u each, an…

Anyone using Stake for sports instead of the casino?

hi all I've only really used Stake on the casino side and I'm looking at the sportsbook now because I want somewhere to keep it all in one place. I can't tell if it's any good for regular sports betting or if most people just use it for a b…

Live tennis betting

I tried getting into live tennis bets more and every time it turns into me staring at one break point like my rent is on it. Pre match I can be fine, live is a different animal and it gets in your head fast! What do you lot even watch for w…

I’ve stopped adding random legs just to boost the payout

I was doing that way too much on parlays, had a couple solid picks then tossed in some late leg I didnt even like just because the payout looked better. Started leaving the slip alone if I dont really have a read. It has gone better for me…

Most unpredictable sports odds?

For me it's MMA and it's not close. Any sport where one hit can wipe out the better side is already bad enough, then you add judging and weird late money and the odds get messy fast. I can look at football or basketball lines and at least s…

Basketball totals

How do you read basketball totals when they swing around for no reason (pregame), I’m about to bet one and cannot make sense of it

Finally hit a bet I almost didn’t place

Had a bet today I nearly talked myself out of right before placing it. My read hadn't changed, but I started worrying I was missing something late (nothing new had come up). I put it in anyway and it won. Has anyone had their confidence dro…

Sports betting during international breaks is rough

I always forget how rough international breaks are until they come around. This week I put in about 120 total over 5 bets, trying not to go too big, and it was worse than a normal bad run. Thursday I had over 2.5 in a match where both teams…

Do odds boosts ever change what you bet on?

For me, boosts almost never change which game i want to bet, they change which version of the bet i take. If i already like a side at -110 and the boost turns it into +110 or +120, then sure, i'll take the boosted line instead of the regula…

Might be done with anytime goalscorer bets

Recently these anytime goalscorer bets just feel too thin (even when the spot looks right). Can I just write this market off now...? The variance is brutal!

What’s a betting market you never touch?

I usually pass on player points props first, then most same game bets. Too much guesswork for me, even when the matchup looks clear! Do they ever feel worth it to anyone? Can anyone say what market they avoid and why? thanks in advance Edit…

Unibet’s live betting section feels underrated

I’ve been using Unibet’s live betting section a bit more these days, and it seems better than people give it credit for. The layout is easy to follow, and the markets update quickly while I’m watching in play (without feeling like I need to…

Tried betting on esports for the first time

Tried esports betting for the first time last night, mostly because I kept seeing people say the lines were softer than regular sports. I thought I could read it the same way, just with different teams, but it didn’t seem that simple. Once…

Why do the bets I overthink always lose?

Last week I spent 20 or 30 minutes going over a bet, had four stats angles in my head, then talked myself off the straight -110 side and took +145. It lost by a point. The quick plays have been better for me lately, which is annoying! What…

Football corners might be my new favorite market

Been looking at football corners more lately, and I think I actually prefer this market to the usual outrights or over/under goals. Just feels like there's a lot less stress chasing late drama or trying to figure out who’s secretly nursing…

one leg ruined the whole parlay again.

seriously, i hit four out of five legs on a sunday football parlay, and the last one blew it for me. it’s always one dumb leg, too. if i had just stuck with singles or doubles i’d be up instead of chasing the bigger payouts and getting noth…

Do you bet differently on weekends?

I kinda catch myself betting a little differently on weekends compared to weekdays. Seems like there’s just more hype around the games and sometimes I get swept up in the action, especially if I’m chatting with buddies or hanging in a live…
