This Week in the Betting Forum:Nov21-Nov28

Well I hope everyone was paying attention in last weeks edition of This Week in the Betting Forum, where I mentioned that Scotsman was returning with NFL picks.  If you followed him in the NFL betting thread, you would have went 6-1, for a profit valued at pure sex.  Tucho also had a 2 unit winning day.  See what tips we have this week in the NFL Betting thread.

Scotsmans NBA Betting System also has been turning things around, with winning nights on Monday and Wednesday, and a 1-1 night on Tuesday.  You can read all the NBA Betting Tips here.

In Soccer Betting we had HRHomer make a monumental mistake, by picking Glasgow Celtic to defeat Aalborg.  This was something we should all learn from - Celtic have went 17 games in Europe on the road without winning.  Despite this being an important game for them, that statistic really speaks for itself - plus Celtic failed to beat Aalborg at home.  HRHomer felt “the run has to end someday” which is the worst type of thinking, but is something that is easy to fall into, especially when you have an interest in the game.  HRHomer let feelings overrule statistics here, which is why he lost the bet.  If you flip a coin 50 coins, and it ends up heads every time, that doesn’t mean tails will come up next because it’s “due”.  Plus there was even less chance of Celtic winning here, due to their confidence.  Now this is only a bad bet if you don’t get value for it - but based on those statistics, Celtics odds at the very least should have been 5/1.  Instead they were about evens, which means they win 50% of the time there just for you to break even, which isn’t the case.

Regardless,  Dirty Hun has started tipping games involving teams no-one cares about, like CSKA Sofia, and Metalurg Donetsk.  This has started off well, so be sure to start following him in the soccer betting thread.

That’s all for this week.
