Scottish Football Betting: 20-22nd Feb'14

I never even knew Morton where missing Peter McDonald last week. Shows you how out of touch one can become aalthough i dont think i tried to wing it. I just said no bet to everything. Seemed the easiest way. Anyhow you know i aint as well read as i should be but i still should have some opinion so i see nowt wrong with me having a quick peruse of the odds the now even if it's just to lay the foundations of my pilot weekend betcast.

I'll be posting 'snippets' as ever and even moreso now that i'll be wanting to 'store' info to aid my filming.

Albion rovers have fell to bits of late. I ddunno how much though. It could be easy for me to overlook their last 2, or is it 3?, home defeats?

Theeyve got a center half playing up front and i dont know how that happened. I always thought they had the best squad in the league and they could put out 2 teams that could challenge for the league. Ally Love has never been off the bench and i thought he might be pivitol in their success this season. Could be a dip in form from talismatic Chaplain thats all to blame really.

4/7 is no price to back them if your results orientated and possibly if youve read more about their last few matches than i have you could say they just aint worth the price full stop. East Stirling and McKenna 'done' them already this season but id be suprised if they 'done them' again. I just dont know though.

Nothing to add about the other games for now either. I just dont know enough to have comment. That said i could go and look at stats and start saying things like 'arbroath are in first x amount of points clear of annan and have xxxxx annan twice this season so i FULLY EXPECT them to win at a tasty 7/5' but of course like any other stat bettor that just relies on stats i have no real idea of whats really going on in the game and would probably be better just keeping my mouth shut or better make a comment like .....'What about arbroath this week at annan chaps? x amount of points clear and theyve xxxxx against them already. Anyone that actually cares to spend a bit of their lifetimes studying this league have any thoughts on my 'good thing' etc etc

I ike to encourage not judge belive it or not. I just hate seeing poor misguided fools trying to delude others with their half baked thoughts.
 
for the record i prefer east fife away from home and clyde seem rejuvinated with some (maybe just one) experienced signings. So clydes the bet the komp? mmmmm maybe. ill read more. I had a wee look at east fifes team last week at albion and thought they looked like a decent enough team. Form book between the 2 this season could be key. I think there is something to be uncovered if you care to look. Will i care to look? Poss not as i might be more concerned about how to 'not sound like me on video'. I dont do impersonations and can only 'do me'. Even then i can't even 'do me'. Shows you how shallow i really am. I dont even know how to be myself. I just play to the crowd. I blame changing schools 3 or 4 times more than the avg man as a kid. Always the 'new boy' amidst folks that thrived on the familiarty of their lives. I aint complaining mind as once i start feeling settled and part of the crowd i just take over and leave no room for other folks personalities

Soz scottish football bettors ive got to get something out it too. I need to give myself license to mix self indulgent bollocks along with my scottish betting thoughts. I used to think that i neeeded to have 'big tits' and 'my fav songs' along with my scottish betting threads of old but ive grown up a bit since. That said a 'big titted betting thoughts thread' on a friday night used to cheer me up no end. A wee bit of 'Blue Monday' and before i knew it i was 'a white man having fun'. Didnt need anyone else to join in as i was happy in my ignorance. I never realised what a fud i really was. That said i even belived in god back then...anyhow....(lol thiss aint going too well. could get worse too)

Aye so MORTON. Nah only joking. I'd love to back elgin as ive been backing them since the start of december and they finally started to give me a return. Need to read up on their defeat at east stirrling and also the nagging doubt that montrose either do really good or really bad at elgin (i dont know which) and the fear of Wood getting a brace for montrose as i curse myself for backing teams with a misguided confidence after the event. Actually lets not move on to other leagues lets try and address the issues i have with this league this week. Ive a few montrose links there to be visited...

Montrose seem to be more ..errrr...inconsitant? schyzophrenic? bi-polar? than me. One week (most weeks) their fans are so down on the team then they get the odd result and suddenly theyre 'as good as anyone in this shitty league' till the next defeat, which usually imo isnt a bad defeat till they get their once a month bit of brilliance and suddenly theyre world beaters again. Ill see if big marv is still there. Gary wood is essential if your backing them and also that forfar player theyve had on loan for a season. Them 3 will be the key to this week as they are most weeks. Shields sometimes plays Wood (their main striker) in a full back role and they suffer from that.

I used to be a forward, top scorer for 2 or 3 teams a season (bb, club and school) before my dad (ex clyde and hearts and junior manager) thought i was more suited as a sweeper. Who did he think i was Johan Cruff? I had a great reading of the game and i organised any team i played for from the back. I would never shut up and i would inspire my teammates to 'never give up'. I got forward to score some crucial goals and as you can tell playing football as a kid was the best days of my life. I only mention it now as im drunk and affected and that i need to remind myself of who i was. bah it's all just bollocks to everyone else. Suppose when your last moments of 'greatness' was when you was 13 isnt something to go on about.

Anyone else want to share 'how they used to be' on here? Your welcome. I'll just slip a bit of 'morton talk' around your reflections and we might just get away with it.

I'm glad now i think of it that football betting has always been so prominant in my adult life. It was never a phase and never something i ever took lightly. Yes it gets me into fights online and off but i just wont let someone pull the wool over their eyes and think they can include me in their charade. Most folks end up not appreciating my 'help and guidance' and i aint passive enough to let them away with anything. Only lately do i see though that its ok to let folks away with their thoughts with no comment if it makes them happy. I forget that your avg man in the street aspires to be mediocre. They have too many other things to think about rather than thinking about how little they know about what they are betting on and they dont seem to need me to point out the missing complexities of their judgement. Whos the fool really? The reproductive man who snuggles up beside a 'homely titted' woman in a warrm house with clean sheets every night or the 'beyond the pale' madman that rants on about the importance of understanding the complexity of football betting in his cold flat but....only when he's had a few drinks (aye ok i know. hummmmph)

Encourage not judge. Thats my new motto. What odds on ill thought fancies are all you blow job getting coupon loving cunts on this week? lol Belive it or not. This thread is gonna get worse. Ive 'locked in' now and i cant go and do anything else as im manic and avoidant. As i said earlier.....once i get my feet under the table i just take over. Just push me aside and dont let me stop you.

You just dont get enough manic depressivees on betting forums imo. For all our self centered shite we sure can do a bit of posting. that said i post in my time, after midnight till sun up etc. If only i could turn up sober and around midday saturday. I cant even playy poker these days as i cant face up to 'doing something'. I just act like a classic depressive and lie in bed and sleep unable to face up to anything. Sorry im getting a bit too off the topic soz folks. No need for me to explain it all. I just wanted you all to know that i would love to come in here and start posting sober on a saturday afternoon but its not even a case of 'just cant try hard enough' more 'i cant even face visiting gmail'. Ive not spoken to my newly found 21yr (soz 22yr old, birthday the other day and what did his new found dad do for his birthday? kept up my incommunicado ive kept up since the first week of november last year. I just cant face up to my responsibilities.

Right i think ive shed my load. Scottish football coupon disection for your pleasure from here on in. I just needed to tell you all that i avoid 'closer' people than you in a far bigger timescale but that said i do feel bad for not chewing the fat with you all at the times i should be.
 
Montrose manager Shield handed in his resignation after the defeat v East fife at the weekend. I wont post all the 'we are shit and clueless' posts that the montrose fans like to post each week rather posting this which imo seems to sum their season up to me.

Ok, 1st half we didn't deserve to be 1-0 down we didn't get the rub of the green and on another day we could easily of been 3 or 4 up. The 2nd half there was no bite and we lost another couple of goals.

I dont think Montrose are as bad as their fans and league position suggests. I remember their great start to the season and i think the bookies had them 5th favs in August on the back of it. I never thought it would last but to me thats the true upper limit of montrose and on their day they can bust any coupon. I dont know if ive backed them this season but i do know that im wary of backing against them. Maybe i make more of Woods contribution. Ill have a look at all their results this season just to sweep out the cobwebs of montrose delusion that i seem to still harbour.

Previous to that East fife game above where they possibly 'didnt deserve to be 1-0 down and on another day could have been 3 or 4 up' this is what they where saying before the Queens Park game where i did tip them on here at 15/2 (or was it 13/2?)

Can we keep up our mini reivival?

Where they really having a min revival or where they just possibly getting the rub of the green or more importanly poss not suffering bad luck? Resultswise they beat 4th place annan 2-1 at home, lost at home to 2nd place albion rovers 3-4 and previous to that drew at 'hard place to go' Berwick 3-3. I could probably take their 5 games before that without a win and rose taint all the results (werent they all over East Stirling?...lets see that blip (it will just be montrose fans slagging their team off)....ach i dont even have to read this to know that backing against montrose is a dodgy proposition
http://www.montrosefansforum.net/in...07428dfe49c56e031f4471afd3b1763c#.VOKksvmsWro

but i will...aye same old same old. Montrose fans over reacting and their ex manager shield being the easy target that he his due to his manner.

Fuck, who are montrose playing again? Ive got no idea what im up to here. Just painting my own picture of montrose so as i can have confidence in whatever my decision is when viewing them on a football coupon. If you have to umm and ah about a bet then your probably just betting for betting sake. I see it every week with my 17yr old nephew. He umms and ahs about his selections not considering that possibly the best option is 'no bet'. If your manufacturing bets then you shouldnt be suprised if some unknown element effectively kills your chances before the off. (komp your getting boring again...)

k here's a couple of montrose blogs for your bookmarks

Its cool to 'not fancy anything' some weeks kids. It shows some underlying consideration that only applies to you (and others on the same wavelength but sadly the betting internet doesnt seem to care about blank spaces). Every week they turn up with their 'lottery tickets' hoping to be a twitter hero.

Sorry im just lamenting about a conversation i had with my brother in law the other day. He mentioned a twitter tipster 'who always won'. He couldnt understand why i wasnt impressed with the tipster's odds range of 1/10 to 1/2 in 5 folds and above. He thought i was just being bitter when i laughed at the multiple european leagues the tipster tipped odds on tips on. He couldnt grasp my thoughts on his possible lack of knowledge of the dutch premier league. His last words on the matter was a results orientated 'well whos the mug really? when he got a 5/1 8-fold up for the 6th week running whilst i had nothing to offer.

Mmmm ive got a big bugbear about 'any team as long as its odds on backers' i see that. I possibly couldnt be trusted to post regularly on forums as i just cant let it lie. The popular opinion these days seems to be that it dont matter how you get a winner as long as you get a winner and the worst part about it is that you really cant educate this new breed. Brought up on government inspired betting adverts between games and your bet means fuck all to anyone till after the event. Lose then thats ok as lets forget about it and lets see what odds on shots we're gonna back today. the dirty fuckers are backing prices but not as you or i would back prices. If a team is 1/2 then that makes them a decent bet to them. If i was to ask them them who they fancy this weekend they'll tell me PSG and Bayern Munich. If i was to ask them what price theyve back the teams at they'll give me a look as if im the stupid one. 'dunno odds on should win' etc etc

Am i the weird cunt that backs teams i dont fancy just because the odds are too big?

Aye im a fucking idiot according to the yoof of today it seems. the only thing we have in common is that we're both interested in prices. they'll take anything, at any price, if theyre favs whilst i'll back anything if the price just has to be backed based on my knowledge attained.

I can live with this as whos the fool really but i find it hard to communicate with this new breed of bettors as they just think im being a stuffy cunt that wants to shit on their (stupid fucking naive) parade.

right i think im over all that now. As you see i cant be trusted around folks. Hornets (he still about?) / yorkie was the worlds worst. All week i'd dismiss Peterhead at home at 8/11 due to missing key players and them struggling v a team irrespective of results and tables. I wouldnt back them at even money never mind 8/11 but he used to show up on a saturday morning, after a week of me ranting on about my peterhead doubts at 8/11 and the cunt will only have Peterhead on his line at 4/7. I cant begin to say 'how wrong' that bet was in so many levels etc and he'd expect congradulations afterwards when they struggled to a 1-0 win.

Winners a winner komp deal with it :rant :grrrrr
 
Football betting superstars. I dunno wether to go to one extreme in dealing with this or the other extreme or just sit on the fence or maybe just say nothing at all. That said it does me no good 'getting into thum' on twitter as they dont want to stop and listen. Maybe best just to avoid all sort of online interaction as then i don't have to entertain fools. Or put my money where my mouth is and show the ship of fools that the good ship komp is back trawling the choppy betting waters.

Forfar v Dunfermline will have plenty written about it. forfar been a bit of a thorn in dunfermline's side the past couple fo seasons. Both teams are hard to bet for and against. Prob best just for me to leave it even though im only human in thinking that 'dunfermline have to start winning' even though i could have said that 15 times at least this season. Still its a good match to read up on and that is enough for me.

I'd be a fool to suggest a winner between moron and stranraer without any knowledge to swing it for me. you know im expecting good things from morton in the run in and im usually willing to take on stranraer. Not that simple though and i'd be a fool to pretend ottherwise.

Peterhead at 5/6 i want to back but again there's a lot of variables to be considered. Peterhead can let folks down at any price and Ayr might not be the Ayr team that was easy to back against when Roberts was in charge.

Stenhousemuir v airdrie is an awfull game to try and decipher as imo you read up for 5 days on the game, doing nothing else, and whatever conclusions you come to could just be pictures in the sand as the tide comes in. The result wont make sense come 10 to 5 but you could probably read more and see it all makes perfect sense to you, after the event. For the record i'd back either team v anyone at the mo odds considered. Hard to fancy one v the other though from what i know.

oh brechin shades of odds on at stirling. an accident waiting to happen eh? Think i got my fingers burnt on brechin at stirling earlier this season and no matter what i read could ever make me think Brechin was a good bet at odds on. Prefer brecghin on the road and stirling wont have many home wins but it still seems like a coupon buster to me (cue someone tipping brechin as theyre 'near the top' and stirling are bottom and blah blah bah brechin win 3-2 and someone thinks theyre clever) etc etc

2 more cans to go. I dread to think what i could do if i leave this thread before i finish them. Play 6man sng's at 10x my usual stake and get my AK in v a limp called A6 pre on an A62 flop leaving mr A6 thinking that he's good at poker as he's unpredictable. Or i could put my whole poker bankroll in the slots on autoplay and shut my eyes and hold my ears gazing only at my dwindling bankroll amount till i get an unsufficiant funds message and thats me got an excuse not to play poker for another 10 days.

Fuck im as good as dead. I don't have delusion or misguided ambition to save me anymore. I dont have anything to hold onto. This isnt how it ends for me surely? Nah im sure ive got room for more pain and torment in this life that will make right now seem like 'happy days'. I'll stop being so affected. I'll also drop my psueedo-importance on scottish football betting. Lets go see english league 2. fuck it will be like a holiday after all this dirge.
 
championship i dont really care about this year. I actually follow the SPFL more than it im ashamed to say. I used to spit on the ground if i even had to type SPL down the years.

Partick where unlucky in defeat v Dundee last weekend from what i could gather. could bounce back. Not one to trust at evens though i would say.

Id back dundee utd like a mug at 5/6 in a fire and forget type bet. Dont know nothing about it, dont know stats, dont know previous games, just backing dundee united on a whim as i just dont give a shit (knowledge hinders my natural betting freedom :look) throw in ICT and Aberdeen without consideration and collect at the counter like a boss!!!
