What are peoples bets this weekend?

I have finally finished my losing streak. £60 up last weekend and won money last night on France on the rugby (which was a really good game too). I had few quid on France to win by 6-10 points.


I've got a few accumulators on  today...

ireland vs. FRANCE
brentford vs MILLWALL
england vs brazil

£4 returns £72

*********************************************

HUDDERSFIELD vs wycombe
NORWICH vs tranmere
crewe vs MORECOMBE  :eek: which I was surprised to see on my slip cos its not a match I wanted to bet must have marked the wrong box. its a bad bet too. morecombe won at home 3-1 last weekend but crewe won 4-0 away at Cheltenham

£3 returns £20

*********************************************


ireland vs FRANCE
brentford vs MILLWALL
crewe vs MORECOMBE again!  :soapy tit wank: ::)
NORWICH vs tranmere

£3 returns £81

I suppose the lesson here is always check your betting slip before you leave the bookies

Spy - I couldnt back France to win in Ireland. In fact I wouldn't back any team to win in Ireland, there support is worth a one goal start every time.

Yeah they seem quite strong at home. It was "bet of the week" in metro though. I'm quite liable to take tips from papers.

i think ireland will draw today.

Yeah they will probably draw today then lose in France.

huddersfield, norwich, gillingham colchester for £35

Gills dont have Simeon Jackson (on call with Canada). Oldham could scrape a draw?

HUDDERSFIELD vs wycombe
NORWICH vs tranmere
crewe vs MORECOMBE

Looks like this is winning me £20. So long as Tranmere don't equalise.

My mistake of betting on Morecombe didn't count against me, theuy're 2-0 up. :soapy tit wank: :soapy tit wank:

Crewe have just pulled one back...

I'm up £70 this weekend after bets on Southampton and Liverpool.

Put my profit on that Lloyd bloke getting eliminated from x factor

I was thinking the same

Denman Denman Denman Denman Denman Denman Denman Denman Denman Denman Denman Denman Denman Denman Denman Denman Denman Denman Denman Denman Denman Denman Denman Denman Denman Denman Denman Denman Denman Denman Denman Denman Denman Denman Denman Denman Denman Denman Denman Denman Denman Denman Denman Denman Denman Denman Denman Denman Denman Denman Denman Denman Denman Denman Denman Denman Denman Denman Denman Denman Denman Denman Denman Denman Denman Denman

That is all

Heard that at Wimbledon one afternoon....the guy sat next to me had a speech impedament.

Easy money :)

bump

swindon, walsall, exeter @ 7/1

norwich, swindon, southampton, exeter @ cant remember

both trebles. morrison to score anytime as well.

thank you for listening x

Exeter v Rovers has been postponed.

Putting the same team in different bets is daft, doing it with 2 teams is just plain retarded.

Still looking for a big pick up this month, I believe I have the winning formula for tonight and cannot believe how generous the bookies are being.

BIG BET even for me - WOLFSBURG 5/4 & JUVENTUS 4/5 in a double - pays just over 3/1
Small interest treble (sorry DMR putting the two above with) STANDARD LIEGE 4/1 - pays 20.5 or 41/2 in fractions.

I might copy you.

Do you think that double is a banker?

How much are you staking?

Nothing is a banker in football, especially European nights, very really do I have a punt on them.
Just they are very generous odds imo, I've only had one pick up this month and that returned £600 but I'm still well down. For the first time in 2 years I will have to deposit money into my account if my double does not come up, that show what a bad run I've been on. There was over £5,000 sitting there at the beginning of the season. The small bet is for £40, the larger bet is for a hell of a lot more.

Wolfsburg are struggling in the German league this season. Who are they playing?

Villarreal who are also struggling in the Spanish.
Juventus are playing Ajax

Ajax won handsomely at the weekend. Remember the scores coming through at PSV and the crowd groaning collectively.

Sound like a bad bet now then. Ajax won at the weekend and Wolfsburg are doing badly in their league.

What has domestic football got to do with European nights - and Dutch football, well enough said?

You are probably right though, as I said I'm having a stinker of a time with bets at the moment, lets see what happens tonight.

You have a good point about the Dutch league, its a very poor standard. I was just letting you know, so don't shoot the messenger!!

I wish you luck though, hope your bets come in.

surely not if u think they will both win?! y wud u bet if u didnt think they wud win. plastic reading cunts did me last nite. had inter, villa, spurs and west brom £10 treble. but for a 93rd min reading i wud have got £50 but ended up with £12.29!

exept when you win.

Wolfsburg in the bag 4-1 up. Juve 0-0 with Ajax as are S.Liege.

Done me bollocks, again .... I think I'm going to give up betting until I have another bet.

I stuck a tenner on that juventus/wolfsburg double in the end as well. Oh well.

My bets for the weekend are...

BIRMINGHAM vs wigan
SOUTHAMPTON vs walsall
leyton orient vs SWINDON

£10 returns £65

*********************************

CHELSEA vs man city
SPURS vs everton
stoke vs ARSENAL
oldham vs NORWICH

£5 returns £39

*********************************

man u vs villa
bolton vs wolves
huddersfield vs leeds

all draws. £1.45 returns £48

My kiss of death bet:

BIRMINGHAM, BRADFORD & COVENTRY - treble pays 11/2

I've smashed a ton on Nacarat at 5's, and regret it already.

Got a nasty feeling Ruby doing 10 stone to ride the other one means Nicholls and co are keen on it.

Bet 1
oldham vs NORWICH
BRADFORD vs darlington
CHESTERFIELD vs aldershot
NPOTTS CO vs hereford

£1 - > £7.70


Bet 2
BIRMINGHAM vs wigan
MIDDLESBOROUGH vs qpr
SHEFF UTD vs plymouth
watford vs NEWCASTLE
MILLWALL vs hartlepool
SOUTHAMPTON vs walsall
DAGENHAM vs grimsby
DUNDEE U vs falkirk

£1 - > £76.11

e/w?

No, suicide time.

Gutted, thought he might had that at the end.

i took your bet and did one better.. put southampton in as well. coventry just saved a pen. all results winning so far. heres hoping

WOOSH!  Get in!!!  Gambling God!

8 results correctly predicted! nice one!

I know...   WHO WANTS TO TOUCH ME?

There's a system to accumulators, but I can be fucked if I can suss it.  My mate used to whack a tenner on four or five teams and win consistently, netting about 50 quid each time in the process.  I'd love to take the credit, but my win was a total fluke.  God knows I needed it though...  anyone got any tips for the wankend?

 :soapy tit wank:

I used to pick 5 or 6 and put a few quid on it but now I'm more likely to pick 3 or 4 and put £10 or £20 on it. I haven't had a look at the fixtures for this weekend yet. I usually pick up a weekend slip Thursday then think about what to bet on during work Friday.

When doing Accumalators do the same bet but perm them..will cost more but a few results say 4 out of six will nearly get your stake back.....its a way of having a bet to nearly nothing most times.

Can someone who can write in English explain this to me please?

Excuse my ignorance, but what do you mean by "perm"?  I can only guess you're referring to four-fold bets on say six teams or something...  I've tried that but seem to end up winning less than my original stake!!  I'm going to pour over the form guides this week, only to be undone by a last minute goal by Tamworth...

I assume leefer means an x-fold as well, although like you say walrus, even getting your stake back normally means hitting at least 4/5 or 5/6 so might as well just go with an accumulator anyway.

Fold bets/lucky 15/31's etc are only worth bothering with if you have 4 or more selections at a good price, say 4 or 5/1 and upwards or you'll never see a return.

Apparently you can get 4/1 for the draw tonight with the England game. Anyone think that is a decent bet?


Don't think I do. I'll do an accumulator.

To be honest I don't like betting on internationals, the odds are too long and it's tricky to spot an upset.  I've just whacked a whopping £3 on England, to win about 70p....

But what can you buy with £3? Quite a bit... a meal, a magasine, cigarettes, alcohol... What can you buy with 70p? Fuck all really.

On the other hand it is very likely to happen then you could put that 70p into another accumulator on Saturday...

Exactly my thoughts!!  Tonight Skybet are doing 100/30 enhanced treble on Spain England and Portugal, if that floats your boat although I am a bit of a cynic and bit wary of these...

100/30? Surely that's just 3/1. Why write it as 100/30?

Do you mean you have to stake £30 to get those odds?

Uh 3/1 would be 90/30 wouldn't it?

Ok...  I presume it's 10/3...  It's just how Skybet represented the odds and I felt inclined to copy!   :D

oh yeah I mean 10/3 :doh:

Gonna put a tenner on this

ARSENAL vs burnley
wolves vs MAN U
CHARLTON vs stockport
SWINDON vs rovers

£10 returns £44

BUT (and this is where I need some advice) if I add in SPURS to win at fulham then the return is £86

What do people think is the certainty of spurs winning??

100/30 - old rhyming slang, get out in the paddock and you'll hear bookies offering you "a burlington" about a horse (Burlington Bertie... thirty)

Well, the bookies seem to think almost 2-1, so they're not great favourites

Spurs have been dodgy away and it's a derby so I would stay clear...  What about West Brom away at someone, or Leicester away at Wendies?

Nice return. Should have put more money on though.

yeah but with 8 picks he probably didn't expect it pay out.

1 result let me down from winning a £536 accumulator this weekend.

start a thread on the offending teams fans forum and blame them.ok well maybe not,leave that to the sad brighton cunt

Some twat from brighton missed out on 2k!

put a fiver on villa winning 4-2 at half time. 40-1  :D

iv tried a new bet recently. been backing games to have more over 0.5 goals by half time and havent lost yet in 3 weeks of weeknd bets. the shameful rovers goals actually contributed. It takes the pressure off having to work out who is going to win as you just need 1 goal. for each team it works out as about 1.40 to a £1 but if you get 5 teams which i usually do you can get around 4/1 in an accumilator. iv only been doing £10 bets but seems to work.

out of interest on sat i looked at half time scores from the championship and league 1 and out of 22 matches only 4 were 0-0. worth taking a look at!

Intriguing...  so you pick 5 games and if by half time there is at least a goal in each you win at 4/1?  I don't know if I have the option of doing this on skybet unless it's for the Prem games but will have a butchers...

Had Everton, Celtic, Chelsea and Villa to win yesterday at 4/1... but only stuck a quid on which I duly regret.

I only do accumulators on goals these days. Though usually 2.5 or more and full games. Much more success.

indeedy it just seems so much more easier than worrying about which teams gonna win  :D the odds are minimal but if u do 5 teams it shud be alright to get near 5/1. u dont get the exciting £100's off a £1 that an accumilator brings but for me it defo has more success rate. take a look at this wknds half time scores and look how many are nil nils.(now jinxed). i had to open a willhill account to do this and closed my skybet. skybet only seemed to offer over 1.5 goals but willhill lets you do anything. if you throw in the odd over 1.5 goals then obv. your returns will fly up but im just sticking for the one goal for now!

Going to stick £5 on West Brom, Bury, Rangers, Leeds

won again

over .5 goals at half time
qpr
ipswich
portvale
fiorentina

lost my other due to westbrom but £30 profit on the night.

20 games 2nite in champs league, prem, champ, league 1 and 2.
3 games nil nil. city with 5 mins to play.

I have done a similar thing with 10 teams (1 playing tomorrow which I didn't realise) to score over 1.5. 2 Are already in, 4 are goalless. Looking unlikely but you never know. I have been keeping an eye on this and your idea looks a goodun. Might copy you this weekend.

Right, I'll brave looking like an idiot.  What the fuck does "over .5 goals by half time mean"?  When has anyone scored .51 of a goal?

I've always assumed they use 0.5 just to make the betting simpler. Over 0.5 goals means 1 or more goals. Under 0.5 goals means 0 goals.

They could use any number between 0 and 1 (0.0000001, 0.55, 0.9 for example) but it has to be between them so you can do over and under. With 0.5 being the most logical as it is halfway between 0 and 1.

I guess they could say 0 or 1 or more, but then the 0.5 works well with handicap betting - if a team is given a 0.5 head start then there will always be a winner.

I have put a whopping .50 on the following players to score at any time.

Wayne Rooney
Cristiano Ronaldo
Shane Long
David Nugent.

12 Euro return if it happens.

I said to my mate at work today that I fancied Utd to win and Rooney to score first. Forgot to put the fucking bet on. Gutted!

thats more stating the bloody obvious than a bet id say.

Kerching.

slightly annoying!! blackpool 2-2 palace.

even had grimbsy for a win!!

Would have been a belter. Auxerre conceded an equaliser in the last minute and then scored straight away! I could do with real scoring soon, feyenoord winning, if that stays the same then I just need Cardiff to win tomorrow for 35 notes.

any guesses to what the game finished as?

 ::) 1-1 DRAW

but no i didn bet on it  :doh:

treble today on man city,man u, and chelski

I had a bet on Man U to win 2-1 and 3-1, cant believe I've actually backed a winner for a change.

What's everyone going for this weekend then?
I've gone for:

Blackburn v MAN UTD
Blackpool v BOLTON
SUNDERLAND v Wolverhampton
West Brom v Everton - Draw

Going to sit down with the Racing Post a bit later as well, and see what I fancy. Tips welcome.

man u,man city double around 3/1
cityscape e/w in the lockinge

Pollys Mark in the Aston Park stakes, Canford Cliffs and Twice Over straight forecast with a healthy win bet on the former as well. Love a good shorty!

doesn't canfords history of starting slowly after a break concern you? it does me although i've backed it too.have a feeling dick turpin might take it hence why i've had an e/w on cityscape who was second to him and should be fresher for it.

Nah, had a long break so I fancy Hannon to have him fully wound up, think TO is the big danger myself, class horse, dont think they'd have him back over a mile unless they fancied him.
