2018/19 - the successful betting thread for Bees fans!

[hoppy]

Who's brave enough to bet on the Bees to win tomorrow?
You can get odds of 12/1 from most bookies on a Bees win.
The Blades are generally 1/4.
If you fancy the draw expect odds of around 5/1.

Happy punting, folks.

Surely a sizeable wager on Dorchester on Saturday might be a good idea - they must be good odds and will we give 100%?

A draw - so it goes to a replay and another game we could do without. Would we do an Aldershot though?

Barnet win - Good, a free midweek (apart from the Middlesex Senior Cup where we can get that out of the way). Bad news would be yet another game to rearrange - Eastleigh away.

Dorchester are a tempting 17/2 to win on Saturday. A tenner would return you £95.

Now there's a lot of scenarios for this match. A draw with ten minutes to go might see Dazza wanting more players forward in order to avoid a replay and play Russian Roulette with a winner more possible than usual for both sides. Dorchester a goal up with the same time remaining might not see the same urgency with a second game against the Dorset side becoming another fixture.

It's there if anyone wants it - the odds could shrink if DC tells the media that he'll tweak his side with a lot of games coming up but it's effectively the boot being on the other foot this week.

I want Barnet to win the FA Trophy, I also want us to make the fifth round of the FA Cup and if we can put a league run together - who knows? We could make the play-offs but we're fighting on so many different fronts at the moment.

As much as I respect your analysis I'll not be betting on Dorchester to win, at any odds.
This is their 4th away game on the bounce in the space of 11 days, they must be sick to death of coach travel.
And I really do feel we'll simply be too good for them, even if we come down from the highs of last Sunday.
Ticket sales are moving along nicely so could be a decent crowd too.

Dunno, they won 2 and drew the other one. For a team in the bottom 8, that's not a bad last 3 away game record - obviously they prefer playing away!

[Norfolk & Chance]

On closer inspection, their last game was away at Poole. A very short trip indeed.
17/2 you say, Andy?

Yep, at BetVictor.

8/1 is generally available from most bookies. I was alarmed to see Barnet at 1/5 - when were we ever that short a price!? The team could be reserves, our form at THL is not great and I expect Dorchester to be well up for this tie. Banana skin.

An Ayrton Senna put on the Dorcs @ 8/1.

I still want us to win. Worst result for me would be a draw and a bloody replay. Just having my first pint in Edgware so it wasn't the drink (strong Polish lager, no it's Guinness!) talking!

[Norfolk & Chance]

Same as the odds for a Bees 3-1 win.

[hoppy]

Early odds.
Real Bees win 11/2
Fake Bees win 1/2
Draw 100/30

Anyone fancy the home win?

[Norfolk & Chance]

Yeah I think I'll have a small bet on a win with a hedge on a draw.
I wouldn't be surprised if we take them back to Brentford.

Have put 1st bet on Barnet to win 6/1. Need to look at other bets tomorrow 1st scorer Sweeney at 170.63 to 1 with paddy power looks decent

Barnet's odd on the slide now with several bookies offering odds of 8/1 on a home win.

Any particular reason?

I've followed John C's advice and put my house on winning 3-1 and John Akinde being first goalscorer.

I guess the bookies have come to realise that we are crap and Brentford are actually quite good.
