Over 1.5 acca's

Now i now some punters don't like accumulators but i hope the strike rate will enable us to show a profit

This has not been backtested so we're diving in at the deep end .

Using soccerstats.com i'm selecting teams who have home scoring averages above 2.99 who are playing opponents who have away scoring averages of over 2.99.

Scoring averages are based on goals scored / conceded at home /away.

So , simply put , we are selecting match's where there 'should' be a greater chance of over 1.5 goals being scored [ah theory's , great on paper ain't they ]

I will be keeping it to 4/5 timers so here's todays picks - the numbers after each team are their scoring average.

BOLTON [3.25] v WIGAN [3.08]
BARNSLEY [3.33] v BIRMINGHAM [3.21]
SHEFFIELD UTD [3.50] v WYCOMBE [3.42]
LYON [3.20] v CAEN [3.00]
GENK [3.25] v LOKEREN [3.33]

Acca pays 2.86 on Bet365

Starting Bank - 100pts

Stake 10pts

Nearly a perfect start today

BOLTON [3.25] v WIGAN [3.08] 1-2
BARNSLEY [3.33] v BIRMINGHAM [3.21] postponed
SHEFFIELD UTD [3.50] v WYCOMBE [3.42] 3-0
LYON [3.20] v CAEN [3.00] 1-2
GENK [3.25] v LOKEREN [3.33] 0-1


Will also keep an eye on the possibility of looking at the over 2.5 markets if these type of results continue.

There's nothing for tomorrow .

Bank - 90pts

Decided to have a bit of leeway with the Away teams average , going to have a lower limit of 2.92 which will not be lowered any further.

Great job buddy... Its a pity that Rangers bet didnt come in so we would have had a sweep this week...

Only one game fits the criteria mid-week , BARNSLEY [3.25] v BIRMINGHAM [3.21]

Obviously the odds are restrictive Over 1.5 goals-wise but after 8 from 9 over the weekend coming in at Over 2.5 [11/17 in total] it could be worthwhile taking the 2.02 on Over 2.5 .
So not a system bet but taking an interest on those Over 2.5 odds .

1-3

CHELSEA [3.83] v BOLTON [3.17] @ 1.16
MORECAMBE [3.00] v SOUTHEND [3.63] @ 1.25
GENT [3.31] v MONS [3.54] @ 1.14
B MUNICH [3.36] v SCHALKE [3.30] @ 1.18
PSV [4.30] v FEYENOORD [3.18] @ 1.12
RODA [3.74] v DE GRAAFSCHAP [3.20] @ 1.14
KILMARNOCK [3.15] v HIBS [3.31] @ 1.3
KARABUKSPOR [3.08] v ANKARAGUCU [3.36] @ 1.12

Quite a few short-odds in the selections this week-end so i propose going for an 8-timer which returns around 3.7 [bet365]

Those of a nervous disposition would be advised to leave out Morecambe and Kilmarnock for a mere 6-timer

I cant find over 1.5 goals for the last match buddy... Are you sure that bet365 offers over 1.5 goals for KARABUKSPOR [3.08] v ANKARAGUCU [3.36] @ 1.12 ???

According to betchecker they are but , like yourself , when i went onto bet365 to place the bet i see there's nothing quoted !!
I assume the odds will go up on the main site tomorrow

CHELSEA [3.83] v BOLTON [3.17] @ 1.16 3-0
MORECAMBE [3.00] v SOUTHEND [3.63] @ 1.25 1-0
GENT [3.31] v MONS [3.54] @ 1.14 2-0
B MUNICH [3.36] v SCHALKE [3.30] @ 1.18 2-0
PSV [4.30] v FEYENOORD [3.18] @ 1.12 3-2
RODA [3.74] v DE GRAAFSCHAP [3.20] @ 1.14 0-2
KILMARNOCK [3.15] v HIBS [3.31] @ 1.3 1-3
KARABUKSPOR [3.08] v ANKARAGUCU [3.36] @ 1.12 3-2

Despite the odds being quoted on oddschecker i couldn't see where they were available on bet365 for the Over's in the KARABURKSPOR but Morecambe buggered the whole thing up anyway [although the suggested 6 timer came in]

MAN CITY [3.54] v BOLTON [3.15] @ 1.08
SHEFF UTD [3.41] v OLDHAM [3.00] @ 1.22
BARNET [3.20] v ROTHERHAM [3.41] @ 1.28

FEYENOORD [3.45] v GRONINGEN [3.45] @ 1.15
PSV [4.36] v TWENTE [3.8] @ 1.22

As you can see there's a fair selection this weekend and i would suggest a 10pt 7-team acca MAN CITY / BARCELONA / AZ / AJAX / FEYENOORD / VVV / PALERMO .
Also a 10pt 4 timer SHEFF UTD / BARNET / MONS / PSV.

MAN CITY [3.54] v BOLTON [3.15] 2-0
SHEFF UTD [3.41] v OLDHAM [3.00] 2-3
BARNET [3.20] v ROTHERHAM [3.41] 1-1

PALERMO [3.83] v AC MILAN [3.08] 0-4

VVV VENLO [3.00] v NAC [3.00] @ 1.21 2-1
AZ ALKMAAR [3.18] v HERACLES [3.45] 3-1

AJAX [3.9] v RODA [4.09] 4-1
FEYENOORD [3.45] v GRONINGEN [3.45] 1-0
PSV [4.36] v TWENTE [3.8] 2-6

As you can see there's a fair selection this weekend and i would suggest a 10pt 7-team acca MAN CITY / BARCELONA / AZ / AJAX / FEYENOORD / VVV / PALERMO . 10pt loss
Also a 10pt 4 timer SHEFF UTD / BARNET / MONS / PSV. Returns 23.43pts


I'm happy with the way this systems going but refinement is on the cards .
What i'm looking at is posting all selections but narrowing down it down to one 4 or 5 timer for one bet , probably the selections with the best odds .

If anyone out there has any ideas please feel free to comment

10pt treble returns 20pts [bet365]

Will update all totals after this bet.

I will introduce those leagues this weekend , providing odds are available

Ok , lets tread carefully this week as there is a varitable barrow-load of games to be considered [mostly due to bringing in the Dutch 2nd Div]

NOTE - The figures in brackets are the total goals scored by the home/away teams in their last 4 matches [in theory showing us which sides are in good , RECENT , goalscoring form ] as it may pay to avoid recent low scorers [ eg those under 4 ]

Friday
------
Eredivise -
RODA 3.58 v VVV 4.0 @ 1.12 [3-11]

Dutch 2nd -
ALMERE 3.50 v MAASTRICHT 3.42 @ 1.17 [4-8]

VOLENDAM 4.08 v DORDRECHT 3.17 @ 1.15 [5-5]

HELMOND 3.33 v TOP OSS 3.77 @ 1.14 [8-5]

TELSTAR 3.08 v GO AHEAD 3.50 @ 1.175 [3-13]


SATURDAY
--------
Dutch 2nd -
FORTUNA 3.08 v SPARTA 3.42 @ 1.19 [8-11]

WOLVES 3.46 v BLACKBURN @ 1.22 @ 1.22 [4-5]

PETERBORO 3.69 v BLACKPOOL 3.92 @ 1.2 [4-6]

CARLISLE 3.35 v BURY 3.17 @ 1.22 [5-6]

FRANKFURT 3.00 v 1860MUNICH 3.27 @ 1.22 [7-6]

HEERENVEEN 3.75 v EXCELSIOR 3.08 @ 1.07 [5-2]

MALAGA 3.33 v LEVANTE 3.00 @ 1.25 [11-10]

GALATASARAY 3.29 v G'BIRLIGI 3.29 @ 1.16 [11-7]


SUNDAY
------
MAN UTD 4.00 v WEST BROM 3.00 @ 1.16 [10-11]

D DRESDEN 3.42 v INGOLSTAT 3.33 @ 1.25 [6-6]

DE GRAAFSCHAP 3.36 v AZ ALKMAAR 3.08 @ 1.14 [4-8]


MONDAY
------
CAMBUUR 3.92 v AGOVV 3.83 @ 1.105 [10-11]

ARSENAL 3.08 v NEWCASTLE 3.23 @ 1.18 [16-5]

TRABZONSPOR 3.60 v SIVASSPOR 4.00 @ 1.18 [8-6]


Now comes the hard bit , which to put the money on!!!

I think that the 6 Dutch 2nd div sides could well be worth an acca all to themselves , don't forget that this is a league where over 83% of all games this season have ended Over 1.5 goals.
TELSTAR are a concern scoring only 3 in the last 4 but GO AHEAD could well negate that worry as 13 goals in 4 is a quite impressive stat !!

10pts on all 6 returns 23.70pts [bet365]


For those who want to stick to a double-your-money bet consider WOLVES/CARLISLE/FRANKFURT/MALAGA which returns 22.70 for a 10pt stake.
Based on League stats / recent goals and odds , these are pretty strong looking imo.

If you want a more 'adventurous' return then the above 4 plus GALATASARAY/MAN UTD/D DRESDEN will give you back 38.18pts to your initial 10pts .

Good luck [we'll need it ]
