Last night's game struck home how hard this gambling lark can be. I was fairly sure Kilmarnock v dundee Utd would be a low scoring game. Neither team has an abundance of talent up front, but both have strong defences. But I wasn't sure enough to place an under 2.5 goals bet. I listened to the game last night and up to the 75th minute it looked like another los scoring game. United were one up due to defensive mistake by Killie and there had been hardly any chances by either team as the defenders had controlled the game. The in the 76th minute the ref sent off Kalvenes with what sounded like a very poor decision. The game turned on that and Killie scored two late goals.
These are the things that are totally out with anyone's control. But it also adds to the excitement and makes it even more challenging for the punter. And i am sure someone who backed over 2.5 goals was happy!!
Spurs play Everton tonight. Spurs defence last year wasn't up to much, but I haven't enough faith in an overs bet though i think thats where it will go, so i will leave this game alone.
