Anyone know of a bet calculator where I can put in the amount I want to win and the odds, and it gives me my stake.

For instance I want to return 100 euro, the odds are 33/1, I'm betting each way, so it gives me my stake.

On staking, I meant to post this days ago.

I still use this, as I think it's a great, and easy to remember, way to stake. You just need to know what your overall bank stands at, and how much of it you'd be comfortable staking on a hypothetical evens shot if you thought it had +EV.

Maybe a bit more difficult to apply each way staking to this, but probably somewhat doable.

Developing the Root-Unit staking method

Once a bettor decides to place a bet on a market, what’s the best way to decide how much to stake on it? There are several methods that are commonly used, but which one is optimal? Or is there another way? Read on to find out.

Thanks for that.

Thanks for that.

I've found myself queueing for fish and chips once or twice while trying to get a bet down. Phone out, x/?y. If the fella next to me was a bit nosey, he'd be thinking what the fuck is this weirdo up to?

Mallorca v Athletic Bilbao is a bit of a conundrum.

Athletic clearly overperforming at both ends of the pitch, and have made changes in defence which look less than ideal as well as missing Berenguer, their most creative player this season to date.

Ordinarily, Athletic should be clear favourites for this game, but it's quite the opposite, almost to the point where they're looking a value bet despite the already stated hurdles.

I've gone for singles of:

• Athletic 0 (Asian) at 2.25
• Over 2 goals (Asian) at 2.05
• 2-3 correct score at 70.0

Gimnasia L.P. to score the 3rd goal - 7/5

I must give a listen, as I haven't done yet.

Anytime goalscorer trixie.

Trickiest thing is trying to anticipate which players won't be rested after an hour to keep them fresh for the weekend.
