Only if the winner of the Cup is decided tomorrow !

so is it okk to choose Handicap Result which is the same

for Winning margin by 2 or more goals?????? you guys getting my confused!

[k_man]

I am sorry, guys, but I have to agree...
Your rules don`t seem to have logic anymore...
That`s why I haven`t even entered the competition this month.
If "4 goals or more" is not a special bet... than I don`t know what to say anymore. Or, this means that I can take the "0-1 goals" option, the "Team A to keep a clean sheet" or the "More goals in second half". I really can`t seem to see the difference.

Cause what I am trying to say is that the classic under/over is ONLY 2.5 - the rest of them are specials.


YAMAN, don`t take this as an offense, or anything. Great pick and good luck from now on. We`re just trying to set things straight if we want to have a solid competiton with CLEAR rules.

But why don't you take -1.5 AH, or -1 EH ?
We prefer bets offered by more than 1 bookmaker. Yes winning margin by 2 or more is the same with AH -1.5. But we'd appreciate if bets types you take for POD are offered by at least 3 bookies !

yes, latso, indeed.
we missed that "1 goal margin for sure".

:roll:

k_man, i'd like to ask you to say your thoughts about unsuccesful days or certain picks, in "POD thoughts" thread.
Don't get me wrong, but i'd like to keep daily threads clean ! ( Minov)

So? What did the rules change exactly? Just the ht/ft bets and the "score between"?

Sorry i didn't notice your first post. You wrote it just before i wrote mine so i missed it !

Listen, this rules are not final. We only started with the changes, we'll see how will this go, and have the final rules for February.
I'm aware that we forbidded some bets for 1-2 days and then put them back again, but it's something that happens in transition periods :wink:

Specials are forbidden, but it depends on what do we concider for "Specials" . For me this bet types are specials, and you can all say goodbye to them, because they are history....

"Rooney to score more than Owen"
"Anytime scorer : Crouch"
"Scorer of first goal : Costacurta"
"scorer of last goal : Abbiati"
"total goals minutes :67"
"Nowitzky - Over 23.5"
"Arsenal to score between 1-15 minute"
"Karlovic to beat Roddick 3:1"
"more goals in second half"
" Trezeguet to hit the post in 23 minute"
"Naked guy to run through the field in 70 minute"
" A to have more rushing yards than B,C,D,E,F,G,H and Z "
"Utah to win the first quarter"
" more than 3.5 yellow cards"
" Cards : 45 points"

Also this bet types are forbidden :
"Halftime/fulltime"
" 1X2 at halftime"


I would ask Moldoveanu to update this list....

So anything that has to deal with number of goals and winning margin is ok, true?
Good.

Good.

For now yes.

It's up to you to decide is your POD your real pick of the day, because this way i leave the option " 7 or more goals" or " to win by 5 or more".

If you ask me, I don't like that we are not allowed to use HT/FT now and I don't like the reason that you gave for forbidding it
You said that it was luck when someone gussed the X/1 HT/FT bet and noone can give some good explanation for it, but what's with 1/1 or 2/2? I used it very often when the odds for the 1 or 2 were small. And I don't see it very strange if I give good analyse for a 1/1 HT/FT pick (when the odds for the favorite who's playing at home are about 1.45 and the odds for the 1/1 are about 2.0) and I win that pick. Is that luck?

I hope that you will understand what I tried to write up there :wink:

i, personaly understand very well what u mean but it's not possible to forbid HT/FT bets with draw involved in it only! it is kinda strange.
The same goes for the straight prognosis - 1X2
It's easyer to predict 1 and 2 and more dificult with the draw (like the odds usualy suggest) but it is not a reason to ban the draw pics.

So IMO we need to make categories of bets and act principaly.

Name the kinds of bets that are not liked in the POD and forbid it.

Bt HT/FT is a categorie and most of its possible picks are adventuristic so a good reason to be forbid.

If u ask me the same could be said about team-x to score between 0' and 30min when you know the team is a big pusher at home etc. etc.

[motorhead]

"Scorer of first goal : Costacurta"
"scorer of last goal : Abbiati"

this 2 are very hard to predict :lol: :lol: sorry minov, just a joke

Well, generally speaking, betting is always dependable of luck.
But for the competition, we're trying to reduce the lucky guesses & gambling as much as possible, and you'll have to agree that your real pick of the certain day would rarely be "Arsenal X/2" (or even 2/2), so if you want to help others in finding good bets, your logical choice would be "Arsenal to win", while you're of course make all kind of special bets for yourself, risking your own money. :wink:

X/2 not, but 2/2 yes. As I said if the odds for Arsenal's win are 1.45 and for the Arsenal/Arsenal HT/FT 2/2, then my real betting pick of the day would be 2/2. I rather risk smaller stakes on the higher odds then risking big stakes on smaller odds.
Believe me or not that is really my betting strategy. Very often those are my kind of bets in the real life
