The graph shows monthly progress based on a Maximum Sharp-Stake of (£) 10.

  • In April, the highest odds picked in these previews was the decimal odds of 18.59 for a winning treble. However, there was also an odds-on loss at 1.36 for 1X2 Wycombe when we picked them and they drew against Shrewsbury. Despite 61% possession, 13 corners and 33 shots, they were held to 0-0 on 1st April. Click here to see all of April's results in full.

Result:  Loss

Bet: BTTS No

Odds Available: 2.75

18:00: We make the BTTS No bet a more likely outcome than the 36.4% chance suggested by PaddyPower. Vocklamarkt v Treibach is the fixture and the decimal odds of 2.75 is the bet. (posted at: 8:14, 26/5)

  • A good start for the over 3.5 goals, 2-0 after ten minutes. Close but no cigar for this Sunday morning patent.

Result:  Loss

Bet: BTTS No

Odds Available: 2.6

0:00: The 38.5% chance suggested by BetfairSB for the BTTS No seems too low here. Glens SC v Almaden is the fixture and the decimal odds of 2.6 is the bet. (posted at: 16:30, 24/5)

Result:  Win

Bet: BTTS No

Odds Available: 2.6

0:30: BetfairSB has grabbed our attention again. There are standout decimal odds of 2.6 for BTTS No in the Virginia Marauders v Patuxent match. (posted at: 16:30, 24/5)

Result:  Win

Bet: Three doubles

Odds Available: 5.85, 5.85 and 6.76

On the basis that the singles are value, then the doubles are too. The bigger prices will add to the variance, but it is a Sharp Betting strategy in the long-term. Putting the first two games into a double pays 5.85 (2.25 x 2.6) in decimal odds; games one and three will give us 5.85 (2.25 x 2.6) and games two and three are worth 6.76 (2.6 x 2.6) in a double.

Result:  Loss, Loss, Win

Bet: The treble

Odds Available: 15.21

BetfairSB may think there is only a 6.6% chance this wins. We think it's more likely than that. We get an appealing 15.21 decimal odds (2.25 x 2.6 x 2.6) if the treble comes in.

Result:  Loss

If you don't mind adding to the variance, it is worth playing some accas here too. The first two matches create decimal odds of 4.62 for the double; games one and three get us 5.61. The double is worth 5.36 for the second and third selections.

They don't land often, but when they do it pays.  We get an unlikely-sounding 11.78 decimal odds (2.2 x 2.1 x 2.55) if the treble lands. We are due one!

Since these three matches are with the same sportsbook, we will hit them with some accas. Putting the first two games into a double pays 4.95 (2.25 x 2.2) in decimal odds; games one and three will give us 10.13 (2.25 x 4.5) and games two and three are worth 9.9 (2.2 x 4.5) in a double.

Odds Available: 6.16, 5.24 and 4.11

We can compound the value by placing doubles. The first two matches create decimal odds of 6.16 for the double; games one and three get us 5.24. The double is worth 4.11 for the second and third selections.

Result:  Win, Loss, Loss

Result:  Win

Bet: Three doubles

Odds Available: 4.62, 4.73 and 4.95

Since these three matches are with the same sportsbook, we will hit them with some accas. The first two matches create decimal odds of 4.62 for the double; games 1 and 3 get us 4.73. The double is worth 4.95 for the second and third selections.

Result:  Loss, Loss, Loss

Bet: The treble

Odds Available: 10.4

In the long-run, putting these into a chunky treble is also the sharp play. If we can land this treble too we get a decent payoff (2.1 x 2.2 x 2.25 = 10.4 decimal odds).

Bet: Three doubles

Odds Available: 7.92, 5.78 and 6.05

A patent is three singles, three doubles and a treble. Why not compound the value with these three... Putting the first two games into a double pays 7.92 (2.75 x 2.88) in decimal odds; games 1 and 3 will give us 5.78 (2.75 x 2.1) and games 2 and 3 are worth 6.05 (2.88 x 2.1) in a double.

Result:  Loss, Loss, Loss

Bet: The treble

Odds Available: 16.63

There's about 7 hours of action from start to finish in these games and a decent treble at play. We get an unlikely-sounding 16.63 decimal odds (2.75 x 2.88 x 2.1) if the treble lands.

Bet: BTTS No

Odds Available: 2.6

17:00: There's another noteworthy betting opportunity here with PaddyPower. Their odds of 2.6 for BTTS No in the Nea Salamis v Anorthosis game stands out from the live value in the system. (posted at: 17:01, 8/5)

Result:  Loss

Bet: BTTS No

Odds Available: 2.75

17:00: It also makes sense to back the PaddyPower odds of 2.75 for BTTS No in this SK Rapid II v Liefering game. (posted at: 17:01, 8/5)

Result:  Loss

Bet: Three doubles

Odds Available: 5.46, 5.78 and 7.15

On the basis that the singles are value, then the doubles are too. The bigger prices will add to the variance, but it is a Sharp Betting strategy in the long-term to mix up the singles with multiples too. Putting the first two games into a double pays 5.46 (2.1 x 2.6) in decimal odds; games 1 and 3 will give us 5.78 (2.1 x 2.75) and games 2 and 3 are worth 7.15 (2.6 x 2.75) in a double.

Result:  Loss, Loss, Loss

Bet: The treble

Odds Available: 15.02

Why not whack these three in a treble as well? If we can land this treble too we get a decent, albeit unlikely, payoff (2.1 x 2.6 x 2.75 = 15.02 decimal odds). 

Result:  Loss

There's a Europa Conference League Total Goals double among today's selections...

    

I've been an on-and-off follower of SharpBetting and its founders for a few years. First David's Daily and now the full Sharp Monthly service. It is without a doubt one of the key components of my betting portfolio. If you can handle variance and accept betting restrictions (which go hand-in-hand with EV+ betting) then it will grow your betting bank exponentially. I have grown my 1000 point bank x10 since moving across to the SharpBetting service just two months ago. That's not factoring what I made from David's Daily prior to using the full service.

This is with WilliamHill and several other books and there is some 1.43 around too but it is a leftfield suggestion so be cautious about looking for best-price. (posted at: 11:00, 8/5)

A few things to get stuck into today, available with PaddyPower, BetFred, BetVictor and most of the soft-books as well as the exchanges.

Bet: 1X2 Aston Villa to win

Odds Available: 1.9

12:30: We cannot ignore the BetFred odds of 1.9 for 1X2 Aston Villa to win their match against Fulham today. Bear in mind this 1.9 is the best-price so perhaps take it elsewhere at anything from 1.85 upwards.  On the Betfair Exchange, 1.93 is available right now.   (posted at: 9:10, 3/5)

Result:  Win

Bet: Over 3.5 goals

Odds Available: 2.63

12:30: Could be worse bets out there than the odds of 2.63 for Over 3.5 goals in the Tallinna Kalev v Harju JK Laagri game. This is with PaddyPower.  Over on the Betfair Exchange, there's not much liqiudity at the moment, but this could change in the next few hours. (posted at: 9:10, 3/5)

Result:  Win

Bet: BTTS No

Odds Available: 2.3

15:00: The SharpBetting algo has this as more likely than the 43.5% implied by BetVictor. Decimal odds of 2.3 for BTTS No (Leicester v Southampton) is the bet. The Betfair Exchange currently has 2.46 on offer for at least one of these Premier League sides to keep a clean-sheet this afternoon.  (posted at: 9:10, 3/5)
