Fellow traders and players, we were very unfortunate last night with our accumulator prediction. Hercules failed to win the game at home, although everything looked perfect for three quarters of the game. After that, Huesca scored for 0-1 and once again in the last seconds of the game for 0-2. Too bad. Without this defeat, this would be our third winning accumulator bet in a row. But we know sports and surprises like this are just a part of this game. We will continue our mission with a new accumulator today @ 2.16.

We should also take a look at Andalusia Tennis Experience (betting experience in my case). If you were following the games in last few days, you saw several decent betting opportunities. First, Kim Clijsters lost against >200 world tennis player (sorry, I forgot the name) and yesterday, Flavia Penetta had a lot of problems with young Simona Halep, giving us a several opportunities for decent trading. The question is, who of the Italians will win today's match. We're talking about Sara Errani and Flavia Penetta. This is a tough one and it's better to see how the game develops before we place anything (if at all).

What about soccer? Saturday's are full of different games. We have already made our betting analysis for today, including an accumulator bet @ 2.16. We got quite a few e-mails from our visitors, who still don't know exactly how to use the predictions for live Betfair trading. It's very simple. If the prediction is for Over 1.5 goals on a football game - do not place any bets, simply wait. If possible - watch the game to get a better feeling for it. If there is an attacking games with chances being created on at least one side, wait for the first 30 minuter or more (you choose which odds you'll take). Wait for the odds for Over 1.5 goals to climb to 1.70 or over and place the bet at this point of time. If a goal is scored earlier, forget this game and move on to the next one. Don't ever place any Over 1.5 bets at low odds (1.10 or even less). Fulham was a good example for this - with a goal being scored in the first minute of the game and no other goals followed! Ouch...  But - take a look at yesterday's Padderborn vs. R.W.Ahlen. First goal in the 39th minute and second one in 68th. Perfect. And this is what we are waiting for. Taking a low risk bet with higher odds.

On the other side, if we predict a winner, like we did yesterday with Lech, also do not place any bets upfront. Simply wait and see how the game develops. If there are no goals scored in the first half, leave this bet alone. Move on to the next one. Also, do not bet on this game if our predicted team scored first. This is what happened yesterday. This is why our bet is marked as void. If Arka Gdynia would score first in the first half, we would lay them and hope for our team to get back in the game. And if Arka would score first in the second half, chances are there will not be enough time for our favorite to return. In this case, do not place any bets as well. It's as simple like that. Wait for a early surprise and lay the first scoring team once their odds are below 2.0. Sometimes it takes a while, but in order to protect your bank, this is necessary. Do not lay them at over 2.0. You'd be even more surprised to see how often that happens. Once again - if possible - watch the game! See if our favorite team is fighting hard to score an equalizer.

Another question we had was - how many games you should bet per day. Our answer would be - quit while you're ahead! As soon as you made enough, (it's up to you how much this is)  see the chances developing in other games. Are there any? Bet or trade only if you see the chances, not simply because you'd like to bet.  If we predict 10 games, for god's sake, do not bet on all of them. This are just guides for your own betting decisions. Betting is a marathon not a sprint. The goal is to reach the finish line, not who gets there first. One day may be extremely lucky, you'll sell all your bets with profits, on some other day, everything may go against you. That's the way sports betting goes. This is why you should use financial strategy. Don't ever bet "ALL IN" no matter how tempting the bet is, except if you're laying at 1.01. If you bet like we do, don't ever risk more than 3 - 5% of your bank. We know...it takes time, but patience is the key. If you'd like bigger wins, simply start with a larger bank.

Today's game selection is already published in the betting tips section, we also had another pretty "reliable" accumulator bet ready for the day. Here it is, in case you like it more than the one published before. The accumulator odds are 2.17. (on Betfair Multiples) Games selection: Sheffield or X, Preston or X, Nottm.Forrest or X and Middlesbrough or X.

Good luck!
