I have 3 teams who have scored in my BTTS treble, just need all their opponents to notch one now and I'm good. That said, Zenit seem unlikely to score anytime soon from the sounds of it.

[Colly]

Not many goals about so far...

I've got Blackburn, Tranmere, Sheff U and Milan. All 0-0s...

[IAceI]

Blackburn are losing actually.

You could have posted your bet before I took Blackburn and Tranmere as well, sheesh...

[Colly]

Just saw. Also, sorry.

On the plus side Tranmere are up!

Ah well, just waiting on a Blackburn turnaround then. They're at home. And it's Barnsley. It could happen.

[Colly]

Here it comes. You'll be fine, Blades will fuck this one up for me.

[Starvinho]

I was just gonna post it shouldn't be a problem for Blackburn with Jordan Rhodes playing, and he goes and equalises!

[Starvinho]

Not a bad first half for my bet, it started slow but 8 of the 14 teams I needed to score did. 6 more to go...

[IAceI]

Right I need goals from MK Dons (at home to Notts County) and Zenit (away to Malaga) - but that second one looks like it could be the downfall. Zenit don't sound in the match at all from what I've read.

Also just need Blackburn to score again and Tranmere and Arsenal to hold on for a treble, but 1 goal margins are there to be destroyed in stoppage time so no counting of the chickens.

Good first half though, that Zenit game though looks like a right sticker for me though.

[Dynamite]

Yeah I need Zenit to score too. That and Zagreb are the ones letting down my little BTTS bet. Got a couple quid on Madrid winning 1-0 as well so that would be nice.

[Gazz]

I need a Blackburn win to complete a Blackburn/Preston/Tranmere treble and my Madrid/City BTTS has just come in.

Could be a profitable night for once.

[IAceI]

MK Dons have scored so all I'm waiting on is:

Blackburn winner and a Zenit goal for my two bets.

Don't think I'm going to get either so a hairs breadth away from it but not good enough.

[IAceI]

2-1 Blackburn.

What Arsenal concede now, sounds tense over in their match so not going to get excited until the full time whistles.

[Colly]

From now on should I just let you know who I've bet on and who I fancied then changed my mind on? My actual bet is fucked and all of my 'hmm... not Sures' (PSG, Malaga, Swindon, Bradford) are winning. I feel it'd be the gentlemanly thing to do.

[Starvinho]

Despite there being quite a few goals in the end in the FL, I end up picking a 0-0.

[IAceI]

Arsenal x Blackburn x Tranmere @ 5.75/1. WIN. Got me £101.25.

BTTS Malaga/Zenit x MK Dons/Notts County x Birmingham/Bolton @ ~3/1. LOST. Only needed a goal from Zenit but just didn't happen. Had less on that than the other one and obviously still up for the day.

[Starvinho]

Nice one. I'll probably have a few weeks off betting now, I don't like it when I lose.

[IAceI]

I've lost money like no tomorrow lately but managed to win a couple today and at the weekend so hopefully I'm back on the horse and can get my profits back up. Need to stop betting on everything I watch and be more selective again.

[Gazz]

Blackburn/Tranmere/Preston won me £22 and Madrid/City BTTS won £6.

Reinvested £10 on Benfica to beat Celtic @ 10/11

[Starvinho]

I usually just try and limit to having one bet every other week, sometimes more if I win. I try and be careful these days because I've been mildly addicted before, when I found myself betting £40-50 every week.
