Football
see for me thats where the almost impossible bets lie. 13 or 14 teams ion a bet is madness . i'll never go above maybe 5 or 6 , i know it has happened before where someone has had a bet up like that but its very very rare. like my other post said, 3 teams at slight odds on can still make you a decent profit. even 2 teams around the evens mark will pay around 3/1.

I have never met someone whose spelling is so appalling.
Several people bet on football and make money (see below)
If you are betting on an evenly contested game the bookies are going to go 6/4 home 9/4 draw and 6/4 away creating a 110% book. Bet with an exchange and you will be getting closer to 7/4, 11/4 and 7/4. Keeping statistics over several thousand games and several seasons can give you an edge. Also team news before the off. Tonight I had one bet. Reading at full strength against Sheffield United. Neil Warnock already told fans not to bother travelling, another hint, playing several second string players.
Anyone that bets in the bookmakers has no chance of winning long term. They employ experts whose full time job is to compile odds. They VERY rarely get it wrong enough to make anything decent, perhaps 1 in 100 games.
Take one match tomorrow, say Man Utd Vs Barnet
Ladbrokes go:
Man United 1/10 Draw 6/1 Barnet 14/1
Have a bet with Betfair (commission on winnings of 3-5%)
Man United 1/6 Draw 17/2 Barnet 23/1.
Still want to try and beat the bookies.

Your right there. Its different with football. I bet (no pun intended) that a true footy fan for a particular team would have more knowledge of his team than the bookies.
Bearing in mind that the better shouldnt let his passion get in the way of his betting as that can sometime happen.
I think if you know your football, players, team tactics and styles then you can definetley make a profit even on the bookies odds
