Dear CC community,
with gradual return of sports and more betting options appearing in this context, I decided to start and run this thread including
Best Bets of our betting community.
By now, we have several regular tipsters like
risto, akgross, georgel, ingbank, ulgromkii and others. Even though we have a big separate thread
"Betting tips and predictions" where any CC member can post their picks, the objective of this thread is to focus only on the best bet for a given day selected by a tipster, track the outcome of tips, place a bet applying a certain staking plan and systemize the whole thing to the extent possible.
Therefore, all interested in betting are welcome to post their best bets (NAPs) of the day. Preferably, one bet per day with not too low odds (around 1.5 or higher)
and if you have a good feeling about a strong favorite consider taking them with AH (-1) or such. You can also provide a Double bet e.g. incl. 2 big favorites as your NAP.
You can post tips from any sports around the world and not only popular sports.
Staking plan: I will be placing bets based on your tips using a simple single bet system with different units subject to the odds.
For odds below 1.5 (-200 US format) I will use
2 units (U)
For odds from 1.5 to 2.0 (-200 to +100) I will use
1 U
For odds above 2.0 (+100) I will use
0.5 U
Starting virtual bankroll will be 100 Units; I'm using the term "virtual" because it will be tested first on paper to a certain point depending on the success of community selections. Most likely, this project will fail should we lose the full bankroll. Hopefully, it doesn't happen.
I'll be taking odds of 888 Sport. Odds will be shown in decimal format, and
if you have troubles understanding odds between fractional, US and decimal format, just use this link:

Should this project become successful and display good results, I'm planning to switch to Yankee system betting based on at least 4 selections per day.
Activity level of this thread will certainly depend on posting activity of our regular tipsters. If there will be lack of interest from betting community, I'll be still picking selections from the main Betting thread at my own discretion (if tipsters won't mind) and post them here. From time to time I might be posting my own best bets.
Last but not least, some CC members with little betting experience receiving sometimes free bets from poker rooms could give a quick look into this thread and find a decent option.
Today seems to be a good day to start this project with plenty of European football.
Looking forward to your interest and hope to add some value to betting efforts of CC forum.
