THE BETTING THREAD

[Pepe the Horseman]

Yeh, does seem pretty short. Just had a quick glance at the handicaps on oddschecker. I'll take a look at the overs.

And I've never been more serious about anything in my life.

Had a bet today:-
Reading game corners over 11
Rotherham game more than 2.5 goals
York game more than 2.5 goals
The bet was 4 trebles and an accumulator so I did get 1 treble but the 4th selection was:
Reading game more than 2.5 goals

3 more trebles and the accumulator would have cheered me up greatly after this afternoon and with 20 minutes to go most people would have put money on at least 1 more goal eh?.

Fancy Sunderland at 10's. Especially with Dimichellis in there.

Damn you second half!

[Pepe the Horseman]

Russia, Poland, Switzerland and England. 10/1

[RG30]

Poland will let you down

[Pepe the Horseman]

England will let me down.

[buzzby]

£10 on England to win 3-0. £10 wasted I fear.

[RG30]

Poland will let you down

[Pepe the Horseman]

Lol. Switzerland also let me down.

Sort of after timing, but just need a Chelsea win to return £210 from £15. Others were Utd, Cardiff & Soton.

Just had a 5 game acca blow up in my face by NEC - with 10 men - equalising against Herenveen or whatever they are called 3 minutes into injury time. They were 2-0 up with 12 minutes left FFS!!! £250 down the f-ing pan.

If you are in a position to follow the results and know that there is just the one left my advice wold be to have a bet in running.
In your example the team against yours might well have been 100/1 or so to win and possibly 20/1 to draw with those 12 minutes left so for small stakes on the wrong team winning or a draw you could have guaranteed a win.
BET365 are quite good for that sort of thing.

[The Prisoner]

NEC went down to 10 with 5 left & the score still 2-1 so thought I was safe. The thought to counter bet did cross my mind, but they lock the market on around the 89th minute, and it was only 14-1 then. Was with Betfair, so should have cashed out, but was greedy!

[Pepe the Horseman]

Congrats TBM. What ya gonna spend it on?

[TBM]

haha i wish

unfortunately wasn't mine

[jjd82]

Must have gone fooking mental when the Newcastle goal went in!

[Pepe the Horseman]

They all look like pretty reasonable selections as well. Apparently this weekend was the second worst of the year for the bookies. Something like 19 out of the top 20 favs won.
