World Cup betting results

By on July 13, 2010 in Football betting, Football Betting Stats, Football Fixed Odds Betting

The World Cup draws to a close and Spain are triumphant. Their first ever World Cup victory. Widely expected as the final result. In part due to the fact that a large part of the team have all played regular football at Barcelona.

The Spanish played well in what was a dirty game. The World Cup final was littered with yellow cards. One for De Jong’s karate kick on the chest of Xabi Alonso, which should have been a red card. Any how, this worked out well for our Holland to win most bookings points bet. This was frustrating because there was no time for us to place a bet, but, we hope our readers made the most of that one.

Let’s see the outcome of the LetsCompareBets World Cup betting diary.

There where 14 bets in total not counting the ones we didn’t place that we advised on in the previous post. Winning bets where 8 and 6 loosing bets. That’s a 57 percent strike rate.

There’s a picture of our Betfair account underneath. Unfortunately we didn’t get to place all the bets we recommended. Feel free to look back through our post and see for yourself how you would have done.

Using football statistics is a great way to get football bets. We’re no experts. We just did this for fun to show our readers that using the statistics can spot profitable bets. You’ll notice that our staking is a bit rubbish. Normally each bet would be carefully staked using a professional staking plan.

Holland have a 100% trend, World Cup goal, corner, and booking points betting

By on July 6, 2010 in Football betting, Sports Fixed Odds Betting

Time for a quick recap of our World Cup Betting diary. You won’t find any match bets here, just goal betting, corner betting and booking points betting. Let’s see how things have gone.

What a surprise the England Germany game was. We can’t even say it was bitter sweet, well, as far as goal betting goes anyway. With a surprising 4 goals the game didn’t profit for an under 2.5 goal bet. However, the England game was more profitable in the corners market. The Corners match bet paid out because England where the best, once again, at winning corners. The 13 or more corner bet did not pay but was saved by the 10 – 12 corners bet that was placed. The saver bet placed for 10 – 12 corners is only available with Betfair, whereas normal bookmakers offer an exactly 11 corners bet. The chances of getting 10 -12 corners was less than getting over 13 corners. Hence, odds where longer so it only needed a small bet to cover the costs of loosing the over 13 corners bet.

Then there was the USA v Ghana goal bet. The low goal numbers continued and the goal bet won. When Cameroon played Holland there where less than 9 corners, so that was another bet that won. The same happened for Japan V Denmark.

Here’s the run down
England V Germany under 2.5 goal bet LOST
England V Germany corners match bet WON
England V Germany over 13 corners LOST
England V Germany 10 – 12 corner saver bet WON
USA V Ghana under 2.5 goals bet WON
Cameroon V Holland 9 corners or less WON
Denmark V Japan 9 corners or less WON

Enlgand are favourites, goal betting and corner betting tips.

By on June 25, 2010 in Football betting, Football Betting Stats

In this edition of the LetsCompareBets World Cup betting diary we’re making predictions on the England Germany and Argentina Mexico.

England are favourites to beat Germany, but, only just. This is surprising perhaps, after being knocked out by Germany at both Euro ’96 and World Cup ’90. Germany is a different side from back then, so the impact on England should only be psychological. Germany has a young team and has key players such as Michael Ballack are injured.

Here are some tasty stats for betting on the World Cup England V Germany game.

England and Germany have not been scoring many goals. Under 2.5 goals (which is a typical type of goal bet for those who don’t know) have been produced in 3 out of 3 of England’s games and 2 out of 3 of Germany. Added to that Germany have been fairing progressively worse since their 4 – 0 stonker against Australia. There has been a 1 – 0 score line in half of the games played by England and Germany.

Here’s a goal betting tip. Go under 2.5 goals. Or perhaps bet on a 1 – 0 or 0 – 1 result supporting which ever team you think is more likely to win. Yikes, who will you go for England or Germany? Comments welcome.

An area where England will probably dominate is the corner market. England are good at winning corners, shown by an average of at least 12 corners in all 3 England games so far. They have won the most corners in 8 out of 10 games in qualifying: a trend that has continued during the group games.

Germany aren’t bad either. An over 10.5 corner bet would have paid in 2/3 of Germany’s games thus far. Germany have averaged 6 corners per game so far. They’ve won the most corners by at least 4 corners in every game.

With a game like this it is hard to pick a winner. The corners stats above point to a corner bet.

An over 10.5 corner bet is a good option. Also England to win most corners bet.

England corner betting, World Cup tips and results so far

By on June 23, 2010 in Sports Fixed Odds Betting

Starting with results so far. The first bet was Netherlands to beat Japan to nil. The Dutch national team has statistics that indicate their skill at defending. The Netherlands have an average of 0.2 goals scored against them and concede an average of under 10 corners in 80% of their games. If the team can’t win corners then they are unlikely to score goals. The Dutch are far superior to Japan in this area. Betfair offered odds of over 2 which enabled us to more than double the stake.

Betfair allow us to place lay bets. You might have noticed that the bet at the top of the picture above is a lay bet. The lay bet placed was for a 0 – 0 score line not to happen at half time between Brazil and Ivory Coast. Knowing how good Brazil are at attacking and how lacking Ivory Coast are in defense this seemed like a good bet. At odds over 2 on Betfair the liability (the amount I would have had to pay out if the score was 0-0) was only just over what I wanted to win.

But, what now?

Starting with the Dutch…. not a tip just the beginning

By on June 18, 2010 in Sports Fixed Odds Betting

The Netherlands are good a defending. In qualifying they won they conceded only 2 goals in 8 games. They kept a clean sheet and won in 6 of those games ‘to nil’. With Japan not being a strong attacking side show by low goal numbers and low corners won figures, a Netherlands win to nil bet might be in order. This is by no means meant as advice but just an account of a betting diary of the World Cup. Follow me at your own risk. I’m having fun. I won’t be losing any sleep or my house!

With odds of more the evens at Betfair that’s the first bet we’ll wager. Starting small. Lets see how it goes. If anyone wants to open an account with Betfair they will offer your first bet or your money back, up to £25. This may not be the bet for making the best of that offer. We’ll let you know when that one comes.
