November 2008 Recap To be honest: well I didn't deserve a profit this month but the betting slip on the left did turn a loss of over 50 euros into a profit of 4,something euros. I also have to admit that it was placed in Tilt mode. But a win is a win!
November started of great with 3 winning tickets to continue into a real betting nightmare. Bankers failed to win, resulting into a loosing streak, resulting into a spiral of badly placed bets etc...
In total I placed 93 bets and only 16 of these were winners, that's a miserable 17,20%. 7% below my average. But the thing that bothered me the most was that my combos with 3 games failed, weekend after weekend. Only 2 correct out of 14 played and that's only 8,33%. 21% below average. Have to create these combos with more care next month.
On the positive side, this was the first month that I made a profit with my 4 games combos. Like each month the Supertoto was my biggest loosing pot, good for a loss of 17,62 euros. Which brings the total Supertoto loss a little bit above 26 euros. But I will still continue to play it. I love them to much. But I hope that next month I can present better results than: 9/14, 10/14, 7/12, 8/14, 7/14, 5/10 and 7/14.
In total I have wagered now 288,36 euros and received 449,30 euros. So still a pretty decent turnover. November on itself was good for an ante of 119,14 euros. Which is the biggest ever. Will try to decrease this a little bit.
I did also cash some money in November. I banked 55 euros. Getting my initial deposit + 5% back. Placing my playing bankroll on 135 euros and my total bankroll on 190 euros. Close to the 200 euros, and this will be the target to end to year.
I will update my stats page somewhere this week. Don't know when cause I will be pretty busy with work, a training course, indoor football and last but certainly not least my 3 months old son!
 On the OLBG side, I was in the running until the last day for a paid place in the NHL competition. But I will end just out side the places. The most important thing here is that I did end with a profit. So 2 months more to go. If you are not registered there give it a shot. It doesn't cost a dime (with other words ITS FREE) and give you the possibility to win real cash prices!
Cheers, Dremeber
Last chances to turn things aroundWell the month is not even finished and I already can declare this my worst betting month ever. I did place my bets for today already and probably will place 3 others tomorrow. To try to make up my losses I gad to place a fun combo with combined odds of 32. If this one is correct it will bring my losses into an acceptable area but to be honest I don't count on it cause I'm into a spiral of loosing bets.
The only thing that can save my months is the supertoto but last week I had only 6 correct out of 14. Looks I'm into spiral of losses, I hope I turn things around next month!
Good luck, Dremeber Weekend recapAnother loosing weekend, the so many in a row. But on the positive side, the loss was less than the previous weekends.
First things first. I again did loose my preparation, probably I will find it again some where next week. I decided to decrease the number of bets. With my preparation I have planned to bet 5 combos, 1 single and the already placed Supertoto. It became 7 combos and the supertoto, good for an ante of 8,44 euros. I got one combo correct and an was decreased to a single bet due to bad weather, good for a pay-out of 6,08 euros. So a loss of 2,42 euros for the weekend. Bringing my monthly loss on 28,36 euros.
On the supertoto side I was thinking that it was impossible to do worse than last week but I managed to do it. Only 7 correct out of 14. The draws of Chelsea, Liverpool and Barcelone were a complete surprise.
This month I placed 64 bets but only 12 came out as a winner. That's a miserable 18,75%, which is below my season average which is 24,81%. As usual the biggest part of my loss is cause by the Supertoto, with an ante of 13,92 euros and no winners.
On the olbg front I'm still making a profit, but it is going to be difficult to end on one of the paid places. I'm standing 6th in the NHL table, but already 1000 pounds behind. In the other tables I'm not within the first 250 places. But I have to remind myself that it is more important to end with a profit.
This midweek there are CL games and the UEFA cup group matches. Watch out with the teams who are already qualified for the next round.
Cheers, Dremeber The loosing streak continuesAnd the title says, again it wasn't a good weekend. At the moment even the most simple combos fail. some of my combos for this weekend were risky but there were also very feasible ones but always at least one team didn't do what I expected.
The prevent going bankrupt I banked my initial deposit + 5% of it. Maybe my bets became to risky due to a bigger bankroll than normal. To put myself back with my 2 feet on the ground I did the banking action I hope that this will help.
Also on the OLBG front it was a lousy weekend I drop 50 places in the central European table and lost my top 3 place in the NHL table. But still half a month to go. The most important thing is that I end the month with a profit if I want to be a pro tipster in January.
I hope that my next post will be a more positive one. I still have 2 weekend in November to make up my momentarily loss of 25 euros. Maybe I should fall back to single bets. I'll see.
Cheers, Dremeber Weekend RecapWell it was a loosing weekend. Bugger. First of all I lost me prepared bets, so I had to create new ones. And those new bets were bad. Only one good combo (Sunday evening I found the sheet again and it appears that it also would have been a loosing weekend with the initial bets) good for 6 euros. Which resulted in a loss of around 10 euros. Also on the supertoto front it was a bad weekend. As usual I had 10 out of 14 correct. Again close but no sigar! Still waiting on that big win :).
On the OLBG front everything is going fine. I'm standing fourth in the central European table (top 3 paid) and third in the NHL table (top 3 paid). Beside that I only need two profitable months. If I can achieve this in the next 4 months, I will be a pro tipster for at least one month. And that is were the big money is. We will see how this will evolve.
This midweek a lot of cupgames will be played. So a chance the recover some losses. For today I have placed 3 combos and one fun combo for today and tomorrow (if it is still valid tomorrow).
At the moment I'm around 10 euros down for the month. Time to turn things around.
Bankroll is still very healthy at 170 euros. The aim has been decreased and I hope to brake the 200 euro barrier before 2009 kicks in.
cheers, Dremeber Where to go from here? Well it has nothing to do with sports betting cause I like my progress and the raise of my bankroll. It has more to do with this blog.
Like all bloggers I had big dreams for my blog. But to all good things come an end. It's strange but the motivation and drive I had in the beginning have vaporised. If I was a loosing playing this would lay within the line of expectations but I'm a winning one. The main reasons are probably the low visitor numbers and the lack of comments. And we all have to admit that recognition is always nice to receive. Like a mastercard add, it's priceless.
But I will not give up this blog too much effort have been put into it already. It will just not post my bets anymore but will follow the mainstream of betting blog and will just announce my results, look for reasons for my loosing bets and spread other betting news. I must admit that I hope for more interaction with my blogging strategy of posting my bets in advance but I guess that nobody is using them or even look at them. So why bother in posting them and putting so much effort in it?
I know that it is difficult to stand up and get noticed in this big internet world, with enough betting blogs, sites and forums. Getting a blog noticed is so much more difficult then writing good comment (not claiming that the content here on this miserable blog is good or even mediocre).
That's all for now.
Cheers, Dremeber
Weekend recap and CL betsDue to a cold I did not post my bets for last weekend. Not that anybody are using them but still. I even didn't prepare my bets as normal. I just logged in on Saturday and Sunday morning and placed my bets. But never less it was a success. A profit of 7.10 euros. And this thanks to one successful combo of 4 games, with a combined value of 18,30 euros. In total I played 8 combos and the Supertoto 14. This last one again without success. I have to evaluate the Supertoto at the end of the month if it is still worth playing.
The bankroll is steadily increasing and reached 193 euros. Which is not bad considering that I started with 50 and only play 1 euro bets. When my bankroll will break the 200 barrier I will increase my bets with 0,25 euros. While the increase seems marginal it is a increase of 25%, which seems substantial. I will stick to this new ante until my bank drops below 175 or it reaches above to 250, what ever comes first.
This midweek there is a lot of action on the field with the 4th round of the CL and the second match day of the UEFA groups. I plan to play 2 combos on Tuesday and Wednesday and 3 or 4 on Thursday.
Here are my CL bets:
Combo 1: Based on the away win of Bordeaux at CFR CLUJ, the walkover of Inter over Famagusta and last but not least the revanche of Marseille on PSV. This with a combined odd of 9.13.
Combo 2: A little bit less risky with predicted wins of Liverpool (against Atl Madrid) and Werder Bremen (against Panathinaikos). Combined odds 2.24.
Combo 3: The home win of Real Madrid against Juventus and the away win from Zenith at Bate. Good for a combined odd of 3.01.
Combo 4: This one exists of 3 games all with relatively low odds. I hope that Villarreal will have no problems with AaB, that Lyon will be capable of beating Steaua Bucaresti at home and that Arsenal will keep the three points at home against Fenerbache. If all this falls into place I will get 2.47 euros.
Good luck, Dremeber October RecapWell October was a good month. It wasn't great but just good. I made a profit of 26 euros. In total I placed 77 bets (Supertoto not included) and 24 of these 77 bets were winning bets. The total ante for October was 95,52 euro. The 24 winning bets and the supertoto were good for a pay-out of 121,8 euros. The difference between becoming a good and great month is the lack of a winning fun combo. September was a great month due to such a fun combo, but on the other hand only 15% of my combo were winning ones, while in October 31% of my bets were winning bets. So my betting is improving! The most money was won with the combos of 3 games and 5 games. I made a loss with my funcombos and the combo of 4 games.
My Bankroll is steadily growing. The aim for November is to bring it above 200 euros so that in December I can increase my bets for 1 euro bets to 1,25 euro bets.
 Good luck, Dremeber Weekend betsMy bets for the Uefa Cup assured me a profit for the midweek games. A 12 euro profit on Thursday, made up the small loss of Wednesday. Even better for the first time the bank showed a figure above 180. Still 20 to go before I will increase my bets to 1,25 until the bank drops below 175. So 20 bets as a trial.
Here are my bets for this weekend.

Good luck, Dremeber Weekend recap and CL betsIt had to come one day cause my results were against all statistics. Last weekend I made a loss!!! I lost, you will be reading it correctly, 1.95 euros!! And there is only one to blame and that's me. Due to the fact that I failed to make 1 winning combo this weekend with one to go, I created 3 new ones. Without these the profit would have been 1.05 euros. So, lesson learned once again. For once the supertoto minimized the losses. I had 2 tickets with 12 out of 14, good for 2.10 euros per ticket, and 4 tickets with 11 out of 14. To bad that so many peeps had 11 out of 14, good enough for a pay-out below 1 euro and accordingly no pay-out. With the CL games and the first match day of the UEFA cup poules, there are plenty of chances to bend the curve into the good direction again. For the CL games I have 6 euros vail, for the UEFA cup games another 5 and probably I will create a Supertoto (depends on the costs).
Here are my CL bets:
Combo 1: Juventus - Real Madrid: 2: 2.55 FC Porto - Dynamo Kyiv: 1: 1.53 Combined 3,90
Combo 2: Fenerbache - Arsenal: 2: 2.05 Bayern Munich - Fiorentina: 1: 1.83 Combined: 3.66
Combo3: Zenit St. Petersburg - Bate Barislov: 1 : 1.27 Steaua Buciresti - Lyon: 2,15: Combined: 2.73
combo 4: Bordeaux - CFR Cluj: 1: 1.75 Atletico Madrid - Liverpool: 2: 2.75 Combined: 4.81
Combo 5: Shaktar - Sporting Lissabon: 1: 2.00 FC Basel - Barcelona: 2: 1.50 Combined: 2,88
Single 1: PSV - Marseille: 2: 3.00
GL, Dremeber Weekend betsHi all,
After a successful midweek with a profit 0,12 euros I proudly present to you my weekend bets.
 good luck, Dremeber WC qualification Wednesday betsAfter a winning weekend I also hope that I can make another profit with the WC qualification games. I took a gamble with the supertoto. For this midweek toto there are 10 games and only to the top 2 scores will get paid. Price per ticket is 0,25 euro. Her is my ticket.
 Also I made as usual some combo. I did want to add Belgium to one of the combo cause I have the strange feeling that they are going to win against Spain, so I played it as a single.
 Good luck all, Dremeber Weekend recapA winning weekend! Not all bets have been settled. It can become an even better weekend if Equador will beat Chili. In that case the profit will be 10.56 euro! Without the unsettled bet the profit number stands at 10.56 euros. Not bad for an ante of only 13,24 euro. A much bigger payout than the stock exchanges are paying out.
The supertoto was also going fine unfortunately it was going good for more peeps. 13 out of 14 correct was good for a miserable 1,69 euros.
The combo with the most profit was a six folded combo, good for a pay-out of 8,42 euros. Besides that a single, a double and a triple combo was correct!
Looking forward to the midweek WC qualification games!
Cheers, Dremeber WC qualification betsWithout any explanation.
Good luck, Dremeber Nothing muc to reportThe tittle more or less covers it all. During the weekend I was close to another giant win but the draw between Gent and Lokeren ruined a 1 euro combo with combined odds of 86 euros. Bugger.
Yesterday I clicked again the wrong button. I had a combo of 5 tennis games and did want to place a 1 euro bet but I typed to 1 euro in the fourfold combo, meaning that I did place 5 euros for 5 fourfold combos. Luckily for me the combo was correct, so a profit of 16 euros. Giving my BR a boost, which enables me to take some risks during the interlands this weekend!
Now that I removed the idea that I will explain all my bets in front, I feel relieved :). I will still post my weekend bets in front, but my midweeks bets not anymore.
Good luck, Dremeber Weekend betsAt the moment the profit for the month is 3 euros. That's 1 euro a day :) Made a small loss with the CL and a small profit with the Eufa cup. It was good to see that both Belgian teams won.
Here are my bets for this weekend. For one or the other reason the combined odds are lower than normal. Also a win on the Supertoto would be nice.
Good luck, Dremeber September recapWell September was not bad. I made a profit of 118 euros. Which is not bad considering my 1 euro bets. My BR was lifted from 38 euros to 156 euros.
My biggest profit with one combo was around 111 euros. With the supertoto I made a small loss of 1 euro. In total I made 52 combo bets and 8 of them were winners, that's only 15.38%. Which could be better but remember that it is more difficult to make a winning combo with enough profit than playing a single bets. Single bets can be very profitable but only when you BR is big enough and mine isn't. Cause this is the first month that I did record my bets, I don't have benchmark figures.
So, the stats are still very basic.
  Good Luck, Dremeber Uefa Cup Supertoto and Cl betsNobody is reading my analysis anyway so I'm going to make it easy for myself. Here are my CL bets and my Supertoto for Thursday.
 
Come back or not on Wednesday evening for my Uefa cup bets.
Cheers, Dremeber Weekend Recap: Profit madeFirst let's take a look at the downside of the weekend. I made a loss of 5 euros by trying some live betting. When Werder Bremen was up 4-1 I made my first mistakes, the second was made when Bremen got a red card and Hoffenheim scored the 4-4! Lesson learned stay of Live Betting!!!!
On the combo side, I had 3 winning combos out of 8. Good for a combined weekend profit of 28,71 euros, the losses on live betting included! For me, and probably for a lot of us, the surprise of the weekend was the loss of Arsenal against Hull City. Combo 2 on Saturday didn't had a chance with the unexpected loss of Hertha and the draw of Juventus. Sunday, I made the mistake to have faith in Tottenham, I had the idea that they could turn things around but they are in a down spiral! This error screwed up one combo, the other one didn't had a chance with 2 games out of 3 incorrect!
The plans for next week. I will play the uefa cup SuperToto and Supertoto 15. Supertoto 15 has to be played before Thursday so that I am entitled to the 10% discount Unibet is offering. I will made 4 combos for the CL. 2 for Tuesday and 2 for Wednesday. Probably I will play 4 combos on the uefa cup. And then the weekend is again knocking on the door. On Wednesday I will also post the recap of September!
Good luck, Dremeber Sunday betsI can't complain about my postedbets. 11 out of 14 games were correct. Good for 2 winning combos and a payout of 8,75 euros. So if I wouldn't have lost 5 euros today with live betting (Thx Werder Bremen) and if I wouldn't have mis clicked when I did register my first sunday combo, it would have assured a profitable weekend.
Make sure that you look on the net for the goal from Dembele from AZ. What a beauty!
So here we go with the Sunday bets: Starting with the lowest combined odds.
Combo 1: Combined Odd: 7,84 -> Lost Teams involved: KRC Genk and Tottenham Yepm this one is tricky. Genk cannot afford to loose another game but they will face Mouscron and for some reason or the other they always have it difficult against them. Never less I'm confident that they will take 3 points home. The some lines are valid for Tottenham. They can't keep loosing or can they?
Combo 2: Combined odd: 17,38 ->Lost Teams involved: Man. City, Napoli and Roda JC Such high combined odds for a combo of only 3 games says it all. I have no doubt about Roda JC (away @ Sparta) and Manchester City (away @ Wigan). Napoli is another story. But at the moment they are in third place in the Serie A, while Bologna is third from the bottom so it is possible.
Combo 3: Combined odd: 39,40 -> Won Teams involved: Lecce, Palermo, Ajax, Almeria and Valencia. Don't be fooled by the odds. I place my bet per accident as a quintet. Meaning that it are more or less 5 combos of 4. Meaning that if one teams doesn't win I still make a profit on the other hand if 2 teams fail to do what I predict I do loose 5 euros. Lecce plays at home against Cagliari (last in the serie A) and Palermo plays against Reggina (second from the bottom). Ajax should win at home against Vitesse, while Valencia should be capable of beaten Deportivo at home. The last game in this strange combo is Almeria @ home against Huelva.
Good luck, Dremeber Friday and Saturday betsThe midweek bets did cost me some money and it's the last weekend of September. At the moment I still have green figures. The total ante for this weekend is 9,44 euros. Meaning that I will always end the month with a profit of 77 euros, which are excellent figures for an average ante of 1 euro.
So here we go with the Friday bet:
Friday Combo: Combined odd: 2,96 -> Lost Teams involved: Schalke 04 and RSC Anderlecht Schalke 04 plays away at Fc Koln. Koln still have to impress me and I hope that they will not excel this weekend. The other game is Standard Liege vs RSCA Anderlecht. The two big favorites for the Belgium title. I will play an X2 for this game. Anderlecht is out on revenge after the chance less defeat during the Supercup. Standard probably will already have the Uefa cup against Everton in the back of their mind, willingly or not! Therefor I will bet on X2.
Saturday Combo 1: Combined odd: 3,12 -> Won Teams involved: FC Twente, Aston Villa and Werder Bremen I decided to add some more safe combo during the weekend and this is my first one. The most difficult game to predict is the one between Werder Bremen and Hoffenheim. Hoffenheim currently is second in the Bundesliga, while Werder is standing on spot number 7. Both teams are in form but I'm giving Werder more chance. Twente will face De Graafschap at home, which doesn't have a strong out reputation, thats why my money is on FC Twente. The last game is Aston Villa vs Sunderland. Call it a gut feeling.
Saturday Combo 2 : Combined odd: 4,31 -> Lost Teams involved: Hamburger SV, Manchester United, Arsenal, Club Brugge and Lyon 5 matches and only an odd of 4,31 says enough I guess. This combo is based on 5 big teams playing at home. A surprise is always possible but the all these teams should be more than capable of keeping the three points at home! To be complete all the games: Hamburger SV - Gladbach, Man U - Bolton, Arsenal - Hull City, Club Brugge - Westerlo and Lyon - Nancy. Edit: WTF, Arsenal did loose at home against Hull City. Didn't see this coming. Bugger.
Saturday Combo 3: Combined odd: 6,93 -> Lost Teams involved: Hertha BSC, AZ and Juventus The most dangerous game is this rather risky combo is Willem II - AZ. My money is on AZ. They gave an excellent performance last weekend against PSV. I know they have the quality but they are not consistent enough but I'm sure that they will take the 3 points back home to Alkmaar. Hertha should not have any problems with Cottbus, last in the Bundesliga. Juventus on the other hand will win in Sampdoria.
Saturday Combo 4: Combined odd: 5,62 -> Won Teams involved: Auxerre, Villareal and Real Madrid I think that I don't have to explain why I pick Villareal, away against Sporting Gijon, and Real Madrid, away at Betis. Auxerre is hopefully my accumulator for this combo. They will face Le Havre at home. Early in the season already a relegation match, if Auxerre wants to prologue their stay in Ligue 1 they will have to win these games at home!
Check back Saturday evening for the Sunday bets.
Good Luck, Dremeber Last minute bet Just placed a last minute bet. And it is for my norms an outrageous bet this because: A: the ante is 5 euro B: it is not a combo.
Unibet is offering a odd of 2,15 if Wesley Sonck scores. I consider this a value bet! Why? Cause Sonck is at moment in really good shape. Bailly of Genk did some magical thing to withheld Sonck from his first goal of the season. Secondly Akpala, his partner is crime is suspended. Thirdly: I consider Club Brugge at lost stronger then KV Mechelen and I expect some free kicks for Club Brugge, which are excellent chances!
Come on Wesley don't let me down!
Cross your fingers, Dremeber
Wednesday betsIn both combo of Tuesday one 1 game wrong. To bad. Certainly surprised about Nantes. Most of the times the cup is an excellent chance for the teams in the bottom places of Ligue 1 to gain some confidence. And Frankfurt had an excellent chance, but they missed a penalty in the last minute to win the game but thats gambling!
For Wednesday again 2 combos. Both with a high pay-out so it is a gamble. Also due to time constraints no explanation. Sorry!
Combo 1: Combined odds: 18,32 Teams involved: Hamburger SV, Sevilla, Club Brugge, AC Milan, Manchester City and Mallorca
Combo 1: Combined odds: 10,21 Teams involved: Atletico Madrid, AS Roma and Valencia
Good luck, Dremeber
Tuesday bets and Supertoto Euro MixI prepared 2 combos for this evening. Within lots of countries this midweek, without CL and Uefa cup games, is used for the national cups. Besides this I also filled in an extra Supertoto Euro mix, all with games played on Wednesday, and Supertoto 14. This Supertoto was filled in today to make sure that I could profit from the 10% cashback.
Here we go:
Combo 1: combined odds: 4,81 Teams involved: AZ, FC Den Bosch, Nantes and Werder Bremen AZ is confident after their win over PSV and they will continue this line this evening against Heracles. Fc Den Bosch is one of the tittle candidates in the Dutch Jupiler league, I expect nothing else than a home win. Nantes and Werder Bremen have away games. Bremen has an easy game against Ezgebirge and Nantes will play at Cretiel, both feasible teams for the team from the Bundesliga.
Combo 2: combined odds: 3,28 Teams involved: Eintracht Frankfurt, Arsenal and Manchester United Arsenal and Man U should have no problems with beating Sheffield United and Middlesbrough. Frankfurt has to face Hasta Rostock, 9th in the second Bundesliga, at home. Frankfurt still has to win a home game this seasin and I hope that they achieve this today! Edit: Over before it all started. Frankfurt missed a penalty in the last minute. Fuckers, lol!
The Supertoto for tomorrow and this weekend are shown below. First the one for the weekend and then the one for tomorrow: Come back tomorrow morning for the results and my bets for the Wednesday games.
Good luck, Dremeber Weekend Recap! Well let’s start with the most important thing, I made a profit and besides that I had a lot of fun. And let’s be honest that what it’s all about. In total I made a profit of 11,76€ with. Good figures!
The start on Friday was excellent with one combo played and one combo won. The success story continued on Saturday. The downside was that only one of the three combos was a winner but on the positive side the winning combo has the highest combined odds of the 3. It could have been better but Groningen started with a red card in the second minute. The fought back and were withheld a penalty in the last minute, which could have given them the win and some more profit for me. On the supertoto side also everything was going good enough with 6 correct games out of 7. Sunday was a little bit of a cooler. The fun combo has an excellent start but Everton crushed it, so the Marseille wasn’t important anymore (luckily). Tottenham, yep Tottenham again, blew the second combo, while my fourth combo was chance less (0 out of 3). The last combo (3) for Sunday wasn’t so bad but Sevilla weren’t capable of taking the 3 points home. On the SuperToto side, I had 2 more games incorrect, so I ended up with 2 tickets of 11 out of 14, good for a pay-out of 1,16€ per ticket (not enough cause the investment was 3,20€). Congrats to the one who cracked the supertoto. He/She was the only one with 14 correct games, good for a pay-out above 112.000€. I was hard not to create another combo for the Sunday evening games but this is against me own rules. The rule says that I’m not allowed to create last minute combo cause most of the time, these bets are placed to recuperate lost money. To bad cause if would have been a winning combo. Maybe my combo for the Sunday games where to risky. My betting plans for this week are quiet simple. Tonight and tomorrow I will concentrate on filling in the supertoto. Remember that a lot bookies give a 10% discount if you fill in the supertoto before Thursday, if you do this 10 times in a season you will have your 11th supertoto for free. Also there is on extra Supertoto this week for the midweek games in Italy, England and Spain. On Tuesday I will see if I'm going to make a combo of 2 for the midweek games and from Wednesday on I will concentrate on the weekend games. I also hope that you all liked the way I presented the combos on Sunday, cause it is my intention to do it like this. So first a little explanation about the combo(s) to end with a picture if it is more than one combo! Feedback is appreciated, both on the combo and presentation. Good Luck, Dremeber
