[Finance] Albion youth v Villa - any betting profits made?

[Weststander]

I've never been a punter, until getting into matched betting this August.

When Potter gave that team sheet, I noticed on Villa forums and later on weararebrighton that some had rushed to place various bets on Villa.

NOT using matched betting principles, I then did the same and made a clear profit of £65. I was within one Villa goal of making another £100.

It seemed easy money.

Anyone else here do the same?

Went on Villa when I saw the team sheets. The price on Villa winning was tumbling as I did so.

Used the winnings to stick another 50p in the NSC meter and we're back up and running again.

I wanted to share the betting opportunities on NSC, but that technical glitch put paid to that.

A ultimately very profitable market was Villa leading at HT and FT. Also, Villa simply winning the tie.

Villa fans punted on 10+ attempts on goal, but that market was quickly closed. Not sure which bookies.

Stuck a tenner with SkyBet on Villa to win in 90 minutes and Conor Hourihane to score. It was a Boost bet, so got 10-1

Well done . Villa fans went for Hourihane to score punts.

Do you have that typical feeling this morning .... I wish I'd staked more?

Yeah, made a few quid, thanks. Felt almost guilty, it was just like buying money.

I imagine Potter and TB made an absolute killing, they would have got on VERY early

I had exactly the same bet as you!

Villa were 12/5 before the Brighton team was announced and at kickoff they were 11/10. There must have been loads that lumped on in that hour.

I really didn´t enjoy voting against the Albion, especially winning

Especially for me as I can't Villa, but once Potter went down that road, it sweetened the pill.

 

[Jesus Gul]

no, but I and only one other got the NSC predictor thing spot on...

I was slightly tempted by the 55/1 on offer by PaddyPower at 0-2, but no, no I didn't take it

I said to friends that Villa were ridiculous odds at 12 to 5 and the bookies did not what a weak side we would put out. Did Villa to win and both teams to score at 11 to 2

 

[cardboard]

As soon as i saw our team sheet i chucked 50 on villa at 2's. Never backed against us before but seemed a no brainer

 

[LamieRobertson]

Erm ye...only got 11/10 though

 

[bomber130]

Had £50 on villa as soon as team was announced only got 6/5

No one bet on Duffy to get “injured” and come off with 15 mins to go?

Tragic that Albion put out a team so weak that fans bet against their own team.

Also tragic that I went on a specific score (0-5) rather than a straight Villa win.

NSC after timing at its finest, truly shameful
