Every week, I have a small forecast bet on the weekend's football, i never every include Charlton in my bet. Mainly because i lose most weeks and I do not want to tempt fate. I never bet on or against England either.
On the flip side my brother in law (not an Addick) will bet on his own side to lose, he's also bet against England.
I'm not a big gambler and would rather my side win than me benefiting a few quid.
Am I letting my heart rule my head!!

I never bet for us much either again occasionally put the 2 centre backs to score the first goal, now that is a great feeling when that comes in, but will never put us in acc.
I will bet against occasionally on the basis that I'm not the best tipster and if I lose I win because Charlton win!
McDonald 1st goal Millwall
McCormack 1st and last goal Leeds
Ward 1st goal Derby
Bryson last goal Derby
Will only ever put Charlton down to win (and only in one match) - Would never put money on a team to beat us
other than those two season where we were beyond awful and then simply brilliant I tend to stay away from us, we always seem to win when we shouldn't and lose/draw when we should win!!!
My advice, listen to sonicstud!
I also don't mind including Millwall or Palace now as a win for them can then benefit a little.
I had £20 on at roughly 4/1

You pays your money and takes your choice.
Perhaps the most intriguing one for me is each way in that Handicap market. For those that aren't familiar with this market, every side is allocated a certain number of points - scratch or zero is Ipswich so we would have to finish 33 points behind them or less to finish above them, our nearest and dearest, Millwall, are +24 so we would have to finish 9 points or less behind them to beat them etc etc. Last season the top 4 (actual points + handicap points) achieved 106, 106, 100 & 96 points. So, a team having a 34 point start would have needed 73 points to win the handicap and 63 points to finish in the top 4. Is this side capable of getting around 63 points?
That said, 58 points last season would have been sufficient to finish in the top half last season so the 11/4 might be the value.
