Surprisingly we were able to keep a clean sheet in our last Premier League match against Bolton. This meant the bet “Both teams to score – No” came in at Titanbet and just goes to show that whilst the qualifying bet might be £25 it doesn’t always make sense to lay with the full £25 at Betfair. The £23 lay meant we are just £2 down rather than £5 before we can look to extract a profit with the free £25. Nevertheless we need to withdraw the £51 or so we have in our titanbet accounts to have it back in our moneybookers/betfair accounts.
Log back in to titanbet and select “England – Premier League”, from here you’ll see the “Tottenham Hotspur – Arsenal” and can see that the odds certainly reflect the current state of affairs. At 3.24 for the Arsenal win we are fairly significant underdogs and possibly with good reason as the last time we managed a win at White Hart Lane was September 2007.
Since Harry Redknapp joined Tottenham, Spurs have won two, drawn three and lost two of the seven meetings in all competitions against Arsenal, so it’s always a very tight affair with goals aplenty. For this reason I’m going for the 2-2 draw, possibly being a bit optimistic but I have confidence in our ability to score. Van Persie still possesses his awesome away form scoring ability and has scored four goals in his last four Premier League starts against Spurs. So click on the 2-2 in the correct score markets and place a £25 bet, it’s rather peculiar but they don’t have a promo bet button or box to tick. After speaking to their support team they explained that when you type in £25 it should come from your free bet balance first before eating away at your normal balance. So the odds of 13 as I did this meant it had a potential profit of £300
At Betfair find the “Tottenham v Arsenal” match and lay the 2-2 with £15, as I did this it had odds of 16 meaning a liability of £225 and the possibility of the following outcomes
-Correct Score: 2-2 Draw- +£75 (+300 Titanbet, -225 Betfair)
-Any other scoreline: +£15 (-25 free bet Titanbet, +15 Betfair)
After 3 wins out of 3, Sunday is sure to be a much tougher encounter. Understandably we have many doubters at the moment and this weekend gives a real chance to build a platform in proving the doubters wrong but I can’t see us winning the game and a draw will be a good result.
Blue SQ
After significant trouble with BlueSQ it seems that they’ve finally bucked their ideas up in granting free bets. The free £10 came through fine for me this week but if anyone encountered problems again then remember to contact BlueSQ via the live support or e-mail. Van Persie to score first for Arsenal at 5.5 offers a good return and that’s where my free £10 will be going this week. To unlock another free £10 bet “over 1.5 goals” currently stands at 1.25 so just about qualifies for the promotional offer but should this shorten the “over 2.5 goals” is at 1.7 and Betfair odds are very close to these so there shouldn’t be too much of a loss in the qualifying bet. Obviously as this is a qualifying bet, we need to cover it by laying the selection on Betfair, but hopefully our regulars are up to speed with this system enough to do this without step by step instructions now. Basically, you need to ensure you cover the £10 you are placing at Blue Sq by ensuring you win that much on Betfair. At current odds, laying the over 1.5 goals will give you a liability of £2.50. So you should be level whatever the result on this bet, but of course, by unlocking the free £10 bet, there is money to be made next time around.
