Can you beat the bookies? (4)
June 9th, 2010 | 
Author: Today I’ve decided to bet on a single match. It’s a Cup match in Norway, it’s a bet against the system, but the Norwegian cup is a competition where very few surprises arise.
Stabaek vs. Tonberg FK, 1 @ 1.15
bet lost! After 90 minutes the score was 2:2. New bank : 47,71 RON.
Tonberg is a 3rd division team that already made a big surprise in the last Cup round, when they kicked out (playing at home) one of the favorites, Valerenga. In that match they had 3:0 in the first half, than Valerenga won the second half 0:2 but the match finished 3:2. So, I realy doubt that they will be able to kick out another 1st league team, this time playing abroad. I think that 1st half of the match against Valerenga was simply an accident.
Remember some of the principles of my betting system:
- think the bet as a stock exchange investment
- in stock exchange one would be extremely happy to see its portfolio growing with 5% in a day!

Today I decided to bet on:
Portugalia v. Mozambic 1 @ 1.12
St. Patricks v. Bray Wanderers 1 @ 1.22
combo @ 1.37, stake 35 RON, bet won! New bank: 82,71 RON.
For Portugal this is the last match before the World Cup start, and it is a game against a very poor opponent. Mozambic is curently ranked around 130. On the other hand, Bray are one of the poorest teams in Irish first league (only 5 points in 12 matches) while St. Patricks are fighting for the title. The Bray team is also very young: their average age is around 21,21 years while St. Patricks are much more experienced, their average age being 25,47 years.

Today I’ve decided to bet on the following 2 matches:
B93 Copenhagen v Allerod 1 @ 1.17
Rosenborg v Kongsvinger 1 @ 1.18
combo 1.38, stake 35 RON, bet won!
New bank: 69,76 RON. In just 2 days the bank is up with 51%.
B93 Copenhagen are former Danish champions, but nowadays they are playing in Danish 3rd Division. They are fighting for promotion, being at only 2 points behind the leader. They have 5 victories in the last 5 matches. Allerod are already relegated. Allerod were promoted last year but it seems that the Danish 3rd division was too difficult for them. B93 are clear favourites.
In the second match I have chosen to bet on Rosenborg, who are the current Norway champions, against the newly promoted Kongsvinger. Rosenborg seems to be on form while Kongsvinger are already fighting against relegation.
