Shakhtar Donetsk/Roma U2.5

Damn, I found this team listed as a U21 Ukrainian team, but  I just couldn't find the match-up.   Anyway, Hope you won, and looking forward to your next post.

These games start in 15 minutes and they are European Cup matches or UEFA Champions League matches.

Good luck DJD. I'm on the over; seems to be a public pick, so I like your under bet.

Yes they did.  I was watching the Arsenal game; most stupid sending off ever and symptomatic of the modern game.

DJD you're on a pretty tough run.  Confident you'll turn it around?  I hope so because I match all your bets now!

Player to be sent off in the Arsenal/Barcelona game was above +400. It's an interesting bet in these second legs when the team who's crashing out gets inevitably frustrated near game's end.

Paddington, i'd suggest you keep doing exactly what you're doing, just replace the ":%" sign you see in the posted plays with "star"/"unit"/"mcnugget"/"whatever u want to call it"...and define it in a way thay you feel comfortable with...for me it's much less than an actual %...dj here seems to be a dedicated, disciplined full-kelly "value hunter" and over the haul a reliable full-kelly "value getter"...but this game is a very bumpy (not a smooth) ride...especially if you play it by the full-kelly book, which is what dj seems to be doing as closely as I've actually seen anyone do it...

i'd suggest you feel free to "dilute" the kelly volatility (and, therefore the result) to match your "stomach" for the bumps...and enjoy the ride...i sure am

Wow, very level headed post, fitguy. I couldn't really have said it better myself.

I believe in my capping techniques and can honestly say that in the long run, we will be happy. What the "long run" actually is, I can't say (it could be weeks, it could be years), just stick to the plan and eventually we'll get there.

Plays up in a bit.

Wise counsel there.  I have been covering according to % but feel this is not for me.  Anything above 4% is taking me out of my comfort zone.  I saw a 15% play a few weeks back; that would be a sleepless night for sure.  And the losses, mainly on soccer recently, have been due to a few freak events, such as Italian teams actually scoring and conceding late goals.  Most unusual....

lots of nice (low mcnugget) bets for us today, Paddington...btw appreciated your swipe at Italian football...the freak event of goals ACTUALLY being scored

in any int'l tourney, u might like to know that I ACTUALLY have an "Italy Rule" that I've kept religiously since 2006 WC...as long as that particular team is alive in the tourney i refuse to watch ANY games (totally fucked up the 2006 WC, lol...but at least I didn't have to sit thru any of the pain)...that type of cynical weasel-like approach to the game tends to infect whole tournaments until its worst proponent is eliminated...

A shame cuz Italy has such great players...it's just that their "constipated" approach to the game that just eviscerates any joy/entertainment value.  When that league stays true to form, it's nice to bet on, but to a lover of the game, it's like "watching paint dry"...

the fact that some Italian teams have gone off form and played goal-creating footbal just when you started tailing DJ is another good example of murphy's law, in action tho'

Well put; a beautiful game and a beautiful country but like many showbiz couples they don't quite gel together.

Some nice football bets won today DJD; top tips.  An upwards tilt on the rollercoaster....

Nice day, congrats!

Like the call on Blues/Habs.  Halak will be very motivated tonight, and I don't know how much of Pacioretty's accident has been put to rest for the Habs.  I think they will try to play a low key road game.  Should be a very low scoring affair, in the 2-1 range.

Any comments on your MLB approach?  V different to football of course with many games appearing to be little more than the toss of a coin.

Will miss your insights; have to find another way to feed the beast!

BOL....
