THE BETTING THREAD

[KDRF]

Thank you for ur wise words kind sirs, if I win i will pay homage to you.

[LWJ]

Cheltenham, Southend and Elche 6/1

[The Rouge]

Chelsea are favourites away at the Lane. What do we think about that?

[Pepe the Horseman]

Reading v Ipswich - Ipswich or draw 6/5

[cmonurz]

LOL @ Betfair.

Computer glitch sees £21m layed at 28/1 on a 13/8 favourite at Leaopardstown, £1.6m of which was matched.

Which brings me to LOL @ the bajillions of punters on the Betfair forums demanding they are paid for taking advantage of what was quite obviously a technical error.

That's the real LOL here - can't believe what a big fuss has been made over this.

Similar things happen with the bookies all the time. You pile on some obviously incorrect odds only to get an email a few hours l8r saying "sorry we fvcked up"

Agreed, but the bf forums border on unreadable most of the time in any case these days.

The vast majority will cry foul if a sniper or a bot causes them to lose out on a fiver, and the moment the boot's on the other foot and some fat fingered pcunt has made an error of some sort, they're all piling in and slapping each other on the back.

Token £2 on Newcastle & Bristol City to both win at 47/1!

Really fancy Newcastle at Liverpool, and although Bristol City are unlikely to win at Saints a double at those odds can't be ignored given their random wins away at Blackpool, Derby & Leeds.

[LWJ]

That is a great shout, just got 51/1 on Skybet

[TFF]

I've done the same, draw no bet £5 @ about 23s

[RG30]

Hereford (been on the drift all day)
Leeds
Brighton
Millwall

A dnb double? I didn't think that was possible.

Have to see, blue sq let me. First try tbh. If there's a draw and they keep my stake I'll be on to customer services...

[RG30]

Surely it would just go as a non-runner so it becomes a single?

[TFF]

A quick google says yes, the Saints result would have returned as a £5 single had the toon not folded 2nd half

[Ferris]

Fiver on sonks anytime at 18/1

[cmonurz]

Finally entering the betting fray with Sunderland v City, over 2.5 goals, and City 2-1 and 3-1.

[LWJ]

Won Pearce first goalscorer yesterday at 33/1, so got City at 5-1 and 4-1

[cmonurz]

Utter shit. Still LOL @ City.
