Zaynar and Orcacle Des Mottes, £15 double at Ascot.

Will probably just pick 4 or 5 higher league teams in the cup tomorrow and bang a tenner on that.

Good luck with that.

Just got a feeling Shitty will do Wolves Russ

£10,000 on 1/10 Fred Elliot gets pissed.

Safe bet mate

Credit Crunch piss up next Saturday ?

Most definitely. 1/25 I'd say.

That would be about right fred,for them fuckers to mess my bet up.

That looks a pretty decent bet

4-0 that's mine and STFC4LIFE'S bet gone down proverbial pan.

And mine too. Bloody Hereford.

wycombe and brentford also losing, scuppering mine.

cheers Wycombe, brentford and Hereford, prevented me from winning 993 quid, all my others came in!

That's quite a few that went wrong though!

My accumulator and doubles bets were getting covered by my bet against Chelsea...until Lampard scored. So I'm down £15 today :(

1 out of 5 in the end!

Just backed hull at 7s

Hull did it at the Arse so fingers crossed for that one, Wolves at Shitty gotta be worth a go too I recon.

A Bristol City / Arsenal double pays at around 3.5/1.

I implore you losers to get on that and make back the money you lost earlier on today.

Well, that didn't go to well.

 :doh: Nicky Maynard's equalizer cost me £70 odd..... ::)

cost me £40 as well the prick

What is it with football betting every week it seems one result goes wrong and costs me - usually liverpool drawing. I had six results in the bag and felt wolves were a certainty.That's why you never find a poor bookie i s'pose

Cloudy Lane got me out the shit yesterday, backed it big at 9/2.... just as matey boy was handing over the notes they called a fucking stewards on it, needless to say I went next door to Coral straight away!

I dont bet anymore due to previous shittage in life...but i told a few blokes to get on Paul Casey in the golf...he won and i believe he was about 14-1.

leefer.any idea if it is possible to buy tickets for the next ryder cup yet?

http://www.rydercupwales2010.com/

Torquay v COVENTRY
SCUNTHORPE v Leyton Orient

£4.00 returns £45.86

what could possibly go wrong in that selection.  8)

Coventry and Scunny would concern me.

Well i can't believe Villa buggered that up.

Anyone put any on for tomorrow?
I'm thinking of doing this:

Plymouth v READING
LEICESTER v Cheltenham
Grimsby v LINCOLN
SHREWSBURY v Notty County

I think Reading will draw. Lincoln won't beat Grimsby either.

If anyone has any horsey tips for Chepstow tomorrow, please let me know...

She's off down the stable doing hers in a bit, but I'll get her on it when she gets home and post a reply later.

I have put the same bet on as you :D

I have learnt not to bet on Swindon after they cost me £90 on tuesday night.

This thread has got me thinking... Jesus, Cheltenham's easy this year. You don't need Birdy, you just need half a brain.

Binocular won't get beat. Nor will Kasbah Bliss. Dunno where Henderson's sending Mad Max, I know it's not the Supreme Novices anymore but wherever he goes he'll be a great price and will hack up. Lump on Voy Pour Ustedes and Master Minded (who will both be stupidly short) because they just as well go round on their own they're so good.

Denman is absolutely flying (Harry F lives in Bradford on Avon and I play golf with him at the 'well) and you can get 8's for the GC. Get on e/way.

Cant lose this year unless you're a spacker.

I know someone who has put £150 on man utd to beat fulham at 5/6 they must be mad but they would get £275 if they were to win.

if you're doing a multi - get one geelong to beat carlton in the aussie rules nab cup. dead cert as carlton has 9 players out and geelong are the best side anyway

I did it the lazy way and took the Ladbrokes "Dixons Sure Shots" bet

SPURS to beat sunderland

MAN U to beat fulham

BIRMINGHAM to beat southampton

CARDIFF to beat doncaster

£2 gets £26 back

She's unsure so wouldn't want to let anyone down. Useless. I'll text you if she sees anything worth going for.

Sunderland vs. Tottenham
Derby vs. Bristol City
Forest vs. Swansea

3 draws. £1 returns £34.33

fucking celtic!!!!!

just waiting on manure to win now.

A few beers tonight then Arriba?

aye

And Darlington!

I had a stupid amount of money on Everton winning today ... thank fuck it came up, for long moments I thought I was down the swannie.

Bastard Derby scoring late on :(

I'm very skint and have just been going through Tuesdays games to see if I can win a bit of money.
I've picked out the following:

BAYERN v Sporting
Barnsley v BIRMINGHAM
READING v Charlton
LEEDS V Yeovil
BRENTFORD v Barnet
Altrincham v TORQUAY
Barrow v HISTON
Clyde v ST JOHNSTONE
BRECHIN V Stranraer
DUMBARTON V Elgin

Now, I obviously don't want to just put that on one accumilator, so with my only £5, help me win some money.

Avoid sides who are fighting for surival is a must at this time of the year.
Back sides who need the points for promotion/relegation against those who are safe for the season but cant progress up or down.

Cheers Dell, i've just managed to write down 9 games now :D.

Nine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh well, good luck

This is going to be a stupid question for most but where do you get the odds and pick accumalators on the betting websites?  Are there minimum/maximum amount of games you have to pick or do you just pick what you like and it generates a "hypothetical" win amount providing they come in? Obviousy Im assuming the more games you pick in an accumalator the higher the odds are but never done accumaltor online and seems like a decent chance of winning a few extra pounds (although I only bet VERY small amounts not very often :D)

Luci you can back one result, be it win, draw or correct score, who scores first etc etc, and all of these bets to many multiple combinations.
If you are betting small I would suggest you go to you local bookies and not set up an account on-line.

I already bet online but just silly little things and Grand national :D

my advice is to bet what you can afford and not go for too many teams.it does me alright generally

Luci bookmakers do all sort's of coupons the main being a sections list where you have to pick a team to win/draw/lose out of each designated section,this usually pays out about 18/1 or higher,the catch is the last two sections are likely to be games that can go either way in terms of result like Man utd v Chelsea.

The wife has had a good few wins on the section's list,I myself stick to trebles but then i put more on than she does.

My bets for this weekend:-

LEEDS v Swindon

£25 returns £38.50

ARSENAL v Blackburn
EVERTON v Stoke
READING v Ipswich
WOLVES v Charlton
Franchise v Oldham
PETERBOROUGH v Norhampton
ROCHDALE v Rotherham
CHELSEA v Man City
WEST HAM v West Brom

£2 returns £101.74


BARNSLEY v Blackpool
SWANSEA v Crystal Palace
TRANMERE v Huddersfield
NOTTS COUNTY v Accrington
BRISTOL CITY v Cardiff

£2 returns £67.48

I've done my nuts with very little success this week, so will leave it this weekend

£5 Treble

Aston Villa 21/20
Leicester 11/8
Stockport 8/11

Returns 42.05

The odds are worked out by muliplying the odds of the first result by your stake, working out what's returned and then that is staked on the next result and so on and so forth. That's why all the results have to come in for an accumulator.

You can go as low as two results - this is called a double, a triple is 3 results in one bet and thereon they're called 4 fold, 5 fold etc.

In theory you can have as many results as you like but the bookies will probably limit you, or at least have a maximum payout.

I think William Hill has a one million payout limit on the football.

Once again the tips Bert published on his blog didn't come in, and once again he still managed to make some money by placing bets that he hasn't published.

I've just about had it with this board of directors. Andrew Black out.

A mega accumulator I can't be bothered to copoy and paste as it won't come in and also Barrera to win in the fifth.

If that bet comes in well and good ... at this time of the season you should back sides at the top and bottom playing against sides who are safe (no up no down).

Oh yeah I got Leeds to win as well.

my selections for saturday.
 birmingham
swindon
bradford
rangers
st johnstone
east fife. £5 accumilator pays £77

Here's mine

Wolves 23/20
Leeds  evs
Millwall 7/5

£5 treble returns £79.20 hopefully that will go towards a new ST.

I have a fiver on Ireland to get the grand slam. But I only put it before the Scotland game so it only returns £15.

I reckon the Welsh will do 'em.

Even if they do they won't win by enough to take the championship (need to beat them by 24 points I think!!).

Yes, but it'll stop the pesky Oirish from winning the 'Slam.

I am going for an interesting STFC double of:

Swindon Town win, and the Bert-Black owned Astrodome e/w in the 16:05 at Newbury.

This pays at just over 7-1.

Get in there  :D

How do those odds return that sort of money ?

oops worked that out wrong  :-[

should be £51.60

After putting on loads last weekend and winning fuck all, finally something comes good with Ireland getinng the grand slam.  :)

i played online bingo for a laugh yesterday and ended up winning £113.76

:)

Why has this thread fallen out of use?  >:(

In the time since I last posted on here I won £189 on a a £1 fivefold bet which included Swindon to draw at Peterborough and 4 away wins.  :D

On my slip today I have...

villa to draw with newcastle
fulham to draw with everton

MILLWALL v scunthorpe
CELTIC v hearts
dundee utd v RANGERS

looks reasonably solid?

£2 returns £23.42 (maybe should have stuck one or two quid more on this one)

Aston Villa v Newcastle - H
Blackburn v West Brom - D
Wigan v Portsmouth - D
West Ham v Middlesbrough - A  ???
Sunderland v Chelsea - A
Liverpool v Tottenham - H

Got a six fold and loads of doubles to hopefully return something.

Unlucky Spy, still only a fiver you lost.

I made a massive £10.27 profit on the above.

I actually lost £7.50 as I put another £2.50 on my second selection. Oh well. Fucking CEltic not being able to muster a win at their own ground on the last day of the season!!! >:(

A good win for you. I wouldn't have ever called all the below three.

Blackburn v West Brom - D
Wigan v Portsmouth - D
West Ham v Middlesbrough - D


I'm looking to bet with my heart and stick somewhere between £20 and £50 on the Lions to win the series against the Springboks 2-1 soon.  :eek:

Use your head..and put 0 on!!...love em to do it but you might be better backing each test instead.

Er that was a typo. Meant to read "somewhere between £20 and £50"  :soapy tit wank:

Had an easy treble at the weekend.  Arse, Liverpool and Chelsea cushdy £60 return.  Shit odds mind

Lions to win the test series against South Africa 2-1

£50 returns £225  :eek:

Had some other accumulator bets, could have got decent returns but I had Germany down to beat China on those.  :shrug:

I've found some league winners odds I like.

Man U to win the premiership and West Brom to win the Championship

Every £5 you put on returns £110.


Gonna put at least a fiver on that.

Any one got a bet365 account?  Might be worth checking it, you might have a free bet...

After last season's debacle with the delayed Simon Cox payout I have canned Coral and urge all Swindon Town fans to do the same.

I have just opened a Betfair account and am enjoying the fruits of this new, exciting relationship.

MAN U to win the premiership and WBA to win the championship

Well that's one out of three matches in the last one gone my way so far.  :D

bolton vs. SUNDERLAND
portsmouth vs. FULHAM
wycombe vs. LEEDS

£4.30 won me £64  :yay:

i had £100 on Michael Owen last scorer today, did u see his chance in the 93rd min? Gutted!

Sunderland at Bolton was a good spot!

Looks like Bent and Kenwyne Jones will be good for them.

I think you need another couple of weeks to pick some real winners though!

Owen has always been crap with one on ones!

One hell of a bet for a guy who was only on the pitch for five minutes. Can I take your bets in future?

yeah if u like mate, i was £6300 up last season

That was last season, if you carry on betting a £100 on players who only have five minutes of match time, well what can I say.

£6,300 I would be ashamed to mention such a small sum, any bet you want I will oblige.

I did 4 four fold from 5 and got 4 out of 5 so made a small profit,put that on Spurs at 11/5 and doubled it,then wasted it all on Virtual Greyhounds  :D ive got no discipline.

Sunderland and fulham were tips from metro tbh. Just added Leeds to increase the return.

i used to be like that! what ever i won id keep betting it straight after, never satisfied until you lose it all!!

Too early in the season for me to have a bet yet, I'll wait until mid=September when the results have settled down a bit.

Blimey,if I made £6300 in a season id wank till my willy fell off.

Carry on with you pissing competion though .

i was delighted with it too! Dell just giving it the big 'un!

Really!!! I took £125,200 from Ladbrokes in one day.
£6,300 is small change.

 :jawdrop: go on then tell us the details. how much did you stake?

Nothing, it was armed robbery.

One bet was £4,000 each way on Whitechapel, ridden by Walter Swinburn, first day of the Doncaster meeting, I took 14/1  (1/4 odds a place) in the morning and it returned at 7/1 and won by 6 lengths. Once on a roll I backed three winners with my next four bets. Those were the looney days when I had more money than sense.
I am and have been banned by the big four bookies for over 16 years.
These days I mainly bet on football on account - last year I made quite a substantial loss, and as yet this year have not had a decent bet, apart from a few at Cheltenham which also drew a blank.

Not trying to give it large, those are the facts.

Fair enough. :eek:

How much did you lose?

Thats the part we really want to know about

I've won and lost thousands in the past, and definately lost more than I've won.  If I could have just limited myself to football I'd have been up, but I could never wait for the next set of football fixtures to come around.

Luckily I've never really believed in credit, so I didn't get myself into debt.  That said I'd quite happily have banged away most of a month's wages in a couple of hours at one point.  Haven't bet for about a year now, although I've got shit loads of shares which is gambling in a different way.

i had the usual 1 result ruining my accumilator(villa this week)
had a couple of winners on the horses yesterday.
hoping westwood gets some birdies as i'm on him e/w in the golf

At times I lost more than I could possibly afford, but as a punter you remember those massive wins and you know you can do it, and you believe you will. I've seen so many punters in my time who place a bet believing they have lost before it even runs, 'the doom and gloom brigade', lose their money every day but come back the next day with another stash. They are the guys who go home with nothing because they do not know when to stop, you have to realise that sometimes it is just not going to be your day, never chase money especially on 'Virtual Racing' etc.

Over the last 15 years I have become more mature with my gambling and can go months without a bet. I do not follow tips about horses who are supposedly going to win or are trying, I leave those races well alone. I do follow information about horses that are not trying especially if they are fancied and then obviously bet against them, it certainly narrows down the field.

It was easy come easy go for me ... my father was a bookmaker all his life and at the age of 5, I could calculate bets and was already studying the form. I worked with my father on the course for many years and when he retired I took over his pitches and trading name. I soon found out it was easier to win taking the bets than trying to find a winner from ten or more runners.

I'll have a pound on Swindon getting more than 3 points this season at 1,000,000 to 1.

Thanks.

Why throw your money away?

Another small profit on 4s from 5 tonight,screwed over by Man Utd being beated by Burnley like the rest of the worlds fixed odd betters id imagine ;D

Still doubled my money and live to fight on(not gonna waste it this time)

i won £100 today on a scratch card today!

When did you win it?

yesterday.... give me a brake im ill!

Yeah I got stung by that result too.

Took another profit tonight had
   

Dinamo Zagreb @ 4/9   
Everton @ 1/3   
Rapid Vienna @ 5/2   

in a Patent

3 footy bets in a row showing profit :O

crystal palace vs. NEWCASTLE
burnley to DRAW with everton

and

SUNDERLAND, NEWCASTLE AND MIDDLESBROUGH to win

My pick's

hull V BOLTON 15/8

Bristol Rovers V HUDDERSFIELD 11/8

douglas to score first swindon to win 4-3
£1 at 2750-1

Man City 4/11
Middlesboro 8/13
Hudds 6/4
Charlton 4/7
Notts County 10/11
Dunfermline 8/15

5 Euro returns 126

I got 4 from 5 again but made a slight loss this week.

Yeah but my "safe" one inc the Man U you were fearful of came through tho.

edit: I see we drew now. thought we got the win. £3 down overall this weekend. not a big deal.

i did
man city
man u
arsenal
leeds
notts county
and west brom.
did five folds and a accumilator.quids in when west brom win

Today I've got

fulham vs. CHELSEA

LIVERPOOL vs. villa

burnley to draw with everton

£2 returns £14

burnley vs EVERTON

fulham vs CHELSEA

west ham vs spurs draw

£10 returns £99

Cardiff 2-0 Bristol City Chopra 1st scorer 35/1

I had all these to win:

Cardiff
rangers
everton
Chelsea
spurs

bloody Everton

I had the Spurs win on its own,so back in profit.

Not a good week for me  >:( Man Utd only team to let me down in mid-week for £167

Coventry let me down Saturday for £240

Liverpool -1 tonight @ 5/4

I've been poring over tomorrows cup games.

I'm currently looking at

hartlepool vs. BURNLEY
southampton vs. BIRMINGHAM
QPR vs. accrington stanley
PORTSMOUTH vs. hereford

and possibly

HULL vs. southend

Watford done me in and they were leading twice, the north-east treble came in though.

Ive gone for a 2-2 draw for the scousers tonight 18/1

Tonight gone for:
READING vs barnsley
PRESTON vs leicester
SWANSEA vs scunthorpe
LEEDS vs watford

My picks for tonight...

HULL vs. southend
PORTSMOUTH vs. hereford
QPR vs. accrington stanley
nottingham forest vs. MIDDLESBROUGH
hartlepool vs. BURNLEY

£5 returns £51

ATLETCIO MADRID vs. panathinaikos
QPR vs. accrington stanley
gillingham vs. BLACKBURN
southampton vs. BIRMINGHAM
west ham vs. millwall

£1.50 returns £34

The first selection is supposed to be the safer one. I know it's a bit unlikely to hope for millwall be drawing after 90 mins at west ham but derbys can level the playing field a bit and really help the underdog.
