Premiership betting tip, Liverpool Vs Tottenham, Monday 8th February 2012

By on February 3, 2012 in Football Betting Stats, Sports Fixed Odds Betting

What’s happening on Monday the 6th February at 8PM GMT? Kenny Dalglish and Harry Redknapp go head-to-head on Monday as Liverpool take on Tottenham at home. Both teams last 5 result look quite similar and the game looks evenly matched. A good Premiership football betting opportunity.

Both teams score and concede a similar number of goals. I might seem strange that Tottenham go into the game as underdogs even though they are playing well away from home. Using the Soccer Storm football stats software it’s possible to see that Tottenham’s away team ratings dominate Liverpool’s home team rating.  Tottenham have a small away team advantage, but Liverpool have played marginally better over the last 5 games.  Notably Liverpool beat Man United and drew with Man City.   Whereas Tottenham lost to Man City and lost to Man United earlier in the season.

Premiership betting tip, Liverpool Vs Tottenham, Monday 8th February 2012unratedEditor2012-02-03 11:02:12Liverpool have not lost a game at home in the last 5 games, but, on some measures Tottenham have a dominant away team advantage. This suggests that Tottenham look like a good bet to win the game. Tottenham enter the game as underdogs and have attractive odds. The football stats indicate a good opportunity to use a betting bonus to profit from the game.

Bet365 betting bonus withdrawal requirements

By on October 27, 2011 in Sports Fixed Odds Betting

A reader contacted Let’s Compare Bets.com recently and asked about the Bet365 betting bonus. For those who didn’t know Bet365 is one of the world’s largest online gaming companies. Founded in a portakabin in Stoke on Trent. Now the companies has over 6 millions customers in more than 200 companies. It is no surprise that the Bet365 betting bonus is on of the most generous. Bet365 offer a £200 betting bonus on various markets.

James (our reader) asked “how many bets must you you place before you can withdraw your bet from Bet365?”

To claim the old Bet365 free bet or betting bonus customers needed to wager a number of bets in order to make them eligible. Now changed the bonus offer is more simple. Instead of having to make one bet to claim another free bet it has been simplified to a 100% matched deposit bonus.   To withdraw the account balance the initial deposit and the bonus needs to be bet through three times. The bookmaker will match the first deposit up to £200. Effectively a new customer could have up to £400 in their account to start betting.

Here are the other important points about the Bet365 betting bonus.

 

  • The initial deposit called the qualifying deposit and the bonus amount needs to be wagered 3 times before withdrawal.
  • Any sports markets can be used.
  • This exact offer is available to UK and republic of Ireland customers.  It is similar to new customers from other countries but not exactly the same.
  • It is for people who make regular bets because the balance needs to be played through 3 times within 90 days otherwise it’s forfeited.   After doing so, customers can reduce their betting.  The betting promotions are also very generous for existing customers as well.

If this isn’t the betting bonus you where looking for have a look at some of the others on our betting bonus page.

Betting club magazine from Secret Betting Club, hot of the press

By on October 8, 2011 in Horse Race Betting, Sports Fixed Odds Betting
The new Secret Betting Club racing issue was released yesterday.  Secret Betting Club emailed Let’s Compare Bets to let us know.  What’s special about this issue, well, Secret Betting Club have never done a tipster awards before, but they have now.  For those who are not aware of Secret Betting Club they exist to find the best betting tipsters over time and advise subscribers about who to follow and for how long.  A stock broker for the betting world.  Which tipster to invest in.  That’s part of Secret Betting Club’s membership: visit the Secret Betting Club review for more.
Mike and the team at Secret Betting Club like to dig deep into tipster performance and provide an analysis of how good they are over the long term.  The tipster awards have condensed a whole load of research and separated the winners from losers of the tipster world.  Edition 64 is a bumper edition and what we like is the timing.  It is a good time to review performance as the flat racing season ends and the jump season is just wining up.   Now is a good juncture to investigate which tipsters have scaled the heights of the summer and start of the winter season.  The rest of this post is courtesy of Secret Betting Club and explains about the  inaugural tipster awards.

Tattersals rule 4 compared to the reduction factor on the betting exchange

By on July 3, 2011 in Horse Race Betting, Sports Fixed Odds Betting

The dreaded rule 4. Rule 4 dictates what happens in the event of a horse being withdrawn before the race starts. Non runners as they are called affect the odds for all the other horses in the race because it’s one less horse that can win. Rule 4 is also known as Tattersals Rule 4 or just R4 for short. To be precise it’s Tattersals Rule 4c. Anyway, this post described Rule 4 and compares it to reductions that are made by betting exchanges.

If a horse is withdrawn it effects the odds of all the other runners. A horse who has better chance of winning effects the odds of the other runners to a greater extent. So, the withdrawal of a favourite has a much bigger affect on the chances of the other runners than that of a rank outsider. Rule 4 reductions are published as pence in the pound (that’s the British pound for visitors outside the UK).

Why do some people think rule 4 is unfair?

An obvious argument is that if I [the betting public] place a bet and my horse wins, why should my winnings be reduced because another horse has been withdrawn, my horse might have won anyway [even if the withdrawn horse was still running].

Commentary and preview of Royal Ascot horse race betting

By on June 16, 2011 in Sports Fixed Odds Betting, What to bet on?

Let’s Compare Bets put the ‘spot light’ on an interesting handicapper recently.  Ron Robinson rates and handicaps horses for charity and to develop a fantasy horse racing game.  We wrote about Ron’s service at post racing because it’s different.  A horse tipster tipping for charity, it’s not your run of the mill story.  The article was so popular Ron got in contact with Let’s Compare Bets. To say thanks he’s put together a brief and informal summary of some of the races at Royal Ascot with a preview of some others.  For an explanation of some of the terminology visit postracing.net, for example some readers may want to know what dutching, 80/20s, and exotics are.

Well, a “statistical” view has, so far, proven about as useful as a chocolate teapot and yesterday STRONG SUIT – worth 35 points to those that had him in their Fantasy Horse Racing stables – beat mine by 1/2 a length. Either he has improved a ton for that wind operation or, the three year olds, at Group 3 level, are not really up to much. We’ll know more as the season progresses.

I simply could not have predicted the result of that 3-05 if I’d had Nostradamus sitting next to me guiding me through it. LOLLY FOR DOLLY had nice looking form figures but all three that passed the post in front of the rest, had to improve…on paper.

The unluckiest loser of the week by a mile, so far, is INVISIBLE MAN. Dettori was locked up behind a wall of horses before weaving through late and should have been a repeat winner of the Hunt Cup….pocket talking? Perhaps…take another look for yourself and keep an eye on the Godolphin colours out the back.

My two selected in the Queen Mary came home second and fourth, beaten a short head and in the finale, DUBAI QUEEN at least landed me some profits from that race, again coming home second.

That was three runners up in the afternoon….frustrating and, as mentioned above, INVISIBLE MAN, who ran a blinder for us in the Hunt Cup, was mighty unlucky in finishing third. I was on a huge prices in my dutch but, that’s “punting life” and we move on.

Whilst the punting is proving tricky, my Ten to Follow lines (five of them), are doing quite well now. I’m just 47 points off the leader following the success of REWILDING yesterday….a banker in four of my lines…..I did think he’d be winning big races over further though and they must have raced seriously quickly yesterday for him to win over 10 furlongs. On form, he had no chance with PLANTEUR over that trip….racing eh, makes a fool of us all sometimes.
