I'm having a little flutter today:
Always looking for value these are my selections:

Torquay/Shrewsbury draw 5/2
Burnley to win at Southampton 4/1

Double pays  17.5

Treble
Leeds 6/5
Bristol Rovers 5/4
Millwall 6/5

the three above with Middlesbro 12/5 in a 4-fold

I've only had 1 bet today. Rooney to score first

How much was that worth arriba?

£45 profit. Will pay for tonights takeaway

now done an away treble. Arse-chelsea-qpr. 14/1
think arse might draw and spoil it

Chelsea losing already, might fuck your bet up.

Nice result re Rooney though.
Was gonna put a bet on 2-1 to Man Utd this morning when I went to the shop, but didn't have any cash on me, whoops.

I went for that. Kind of softens the blow that all my other bets have gone tits up. A whopping £2 up at the moment but still a couple of horses to run.

Got a ten-game accy, going pretty well as things stand.

I have a 5 fold but the Ipswich game has been abandoned.

only just checked the scores. my bets are done for the day.

Harry's lot being on top at half time = £9. Minted.

Nice one

Blackpool - Pompey draw = £4. This is insane.

Are you £15 up Sussex?

Yes, yes I think I am. It's unbelievable, this kind of luck is usually reserved for 22 year old's in a lottery draw.

Wooooo hooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Night to yourself too?

Don't spend it all on hookers.

I got 2:1 on west ham preseason.......looking good.

Promotion.

£18.02 profit. It's been emotional.

I might order a pizza and some crack.

£18.02, bloody hell, you could buy a lot of blackjacks and fruit salads for that when I were a lad.


mmmmm 1/2p chews.

9p crisps and a penny chew from the tuck shop.

10p went a long way in the 70's.

Looking forward to your 40th Batch?

 :)

Got a year and a half left  :smugfu:

Saints, Hull, Sheff Utd, The Gas. £85

Easy pickings, shame Gateshead was called off late as they were pretty much a morgage job yesterday and would have increased my winnings nicely I expect.

A 3/1 fourfold for me today.

Chelsea
Everton
Swindon
Rangers

Sheffield Wednesday
Norwich
Charlton

£10 pays £66

Rovers to beat Oxford

Oops.
If it's any consolation, I had Chelsea in my accumulator too. The bastards.

also won £17 from a £1 bet but who cares  :)

I have just been on the saturday morning betting shop run for work. Corals have got Rooney @9/1 to score first & Swindon to win 3-0 @8/1 so i have done them on a score cast at 50/1( i have put £2 on each ). If all 3 of them come in my £6 will net me £140.00 back.

Swindon @ 1.40
Five-Folds, 1 bet * £5.00
Lucky with Carlisle who got a 90th min winner.
Pays £126

Villa 14-1 to get relegated. Bent out for the season, Keane gone back to america. Mcleish as manager. Only 8 points above safety.

Not a bad shout.

This Friday its the 1st week of the League of Ireland and here is my advise on how to win a lot of money.

STEP 1: Get a wheelbarrow
STEP 2: Fill the wheelbarrow to the top with money.
STEP 3: Bring the wheelbarrow to your bookies and place it on a double Shamrock Rovers to beat Drogheda Utd and Derry City to beat Bohemians.
STEP 4: Sit back and enjoy both teams winning easily.
STEP 5: Enjoy a nice steak and some champagne out of the winnings!


I'm sure not many here would know about LOI so Derry City are 1 of the best teams in the league and should finish top 3 while Bohs have a very inexperience team and will be shite this season. In the other match Shamrock Rovers are champions and best team in the league and have strengthened the squad while Drogheda look in a bad way. The double works out at 6/5, Derry 8/13 and Shamrock Rovers 4/11

I got on this earlier, still 16s available in certain places. They've still got to play Utd, Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea and Spurs. Should get a good run out of it.

Shrewsbury to beat Crawley 13/10
England to win 3rd T20 8/11
Sri Lanka to beat India 4/5

£10 returns £71.51

Only the final one outstanding .... Be typical of my luck if India chase down 321.

Shit that is unlucky. Chased down 321 with 13 overs to spare! Feel your pain.

1 quid on:

Charlton to beat Chesterfield
Rochdale to beat Notts County
Barnet to beat Bradfield
Gillingham to beat Hereford
Morecambe to beat Dag & Red
Swindon to beat Burton

Returns 47 pounds.

Had a fiver on Gills, Swindon and Charlton last night at 4/1....  First win in ages so feels like 40/1.

Gills one was ridiculous. Nice one.

Yesterday was a fucking bad day!

I had

Charlton 10/11
Swindon (-1) 11/10
Gillingham 8/11
Huddersfield 8/5

A tenner on that lot and that late equailiser cost me £180!!!!!

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Got me bet on early this week - surely must come in soon!!

Charlton
Bristol Rovers
Swindon
Crawley

15 pays 221

I'm waiting on Man City and Rovers. Already had us, Sheff Utd and Wales U21 come in. Only a small bet fiver returns 20.

I'm tempted to bet on Oxford this weekend. If we lose, at least I make money out of it.... And if we don't lose I'll be happy anyway.

I put Oxford in one of my bets a while ago all other 4 won and they let in a last minute equaliser against Crawley.

Cost me nearly 500 - bastards.

Didn't like the feeling of wanting them to win though - not natural is it!!

Tranmere to go down @ 4/1. Had a fiver on that.

They're 1 point above the drop zone. Worst form in the division, something like 1 win in 18.

Good value.  :)

Got a 14-game accumulator. 50p stake returns 1500 quid. I'll let you know if it happens  :D

What a waste of 50p. ;)

I'll be laughing if it happens  :D

I'm already laughing.  :girlgiggle:

Wahey my description got changed from 'forum dunce' to 'is a nice chap' !!

 :( Emotional

OI OI!!!!
I'm enjoying some champagne and steak tonight :)

swansea

Just had a cheer-me-up bet after yesterday's bollocky-buff.

Newcastle to beat Sunderland 3-2

10 at 35/1

bloody norwich :-)

You weren't far off there then ???

Just the odd 4 goals or so!!

Try my luck Spurs v Man U

3-2 again I reckon!!

Just seen the team news so changed my bet to 0-3.

I'm a fickle fucker!!

Getting a bit excited now - Man U 2-0 with 25 min left!!

Creaming meself now! 3-0 FFS ref blow that whistle!!

Poxy fucking Spurs!

Just hope Swindon do win the league so you can pay for all these bets you keep losing ;)

always the way. Well nearly

Only having a tenner a go so not breaking the bank

shit weekend about 30 quid down

west ham at 2-1 promotion is looking good....come to daddy!

Middlesborough, Reading, Charlton, MK Dongs and Swindon at 7/1 tonight.

I've only got 50p left in my account though - trying to get to the magic £3.50 so I've got enough to bet for the weekend.

Times are tight...

will probablt put a few on today, maybe get a bit of my weekend losses back.

I urge you to do a double

Gillingham to beat Barnet
Shrews to beat u-know-who

Absolutely nailed on - should pay 3/1 on Betfair

I've emptied my Betfair account on this (not that there's much left after the weekend!)

There is also a bonus to this bet - if the scores go the right way, Gills will move into the last play-off spot

Logged into my betting account earlier, didnt realise i had £112 in it. Result. Thats wembley paid for 8)

Swindon (-2)                                                13/5
Chelsea                                                        4/6
Reading                                                        1/2
South Africa to beat New Zealand in Cricket       8/13

£20 to return £290.77

I reckon Oxford will get a draw at Shrewsbury tonight.

This, and I've got on it in one of my accys aswell.

Three lines on. Fiver on each.

Arsenal
Gillingscum
& Shrews

Charlton
Reading
Huddersfield
Wednesday

Us
Reading

Reading better win one thinks....

90' equaliser for a tidy £ 294. 42!

One of my 3 came through, makes up my loss over the weekend. Had a 5-er on
Arsenal
Benfica
Chelsea
Port vale
Swindon town

Can't remember how much it pays. Enough to cover my losses and sort me out for my weekend bets.

Sorry Crispy bet was for 90 mins only.......Shrews scored in the 91st ;D

 ;)

Good lad :)

I've got a fiver on Man City (PL), Soton (Champs), Swindon (D2) and Barca (CL) - gets me about £850. I think Scummers are going to blow it for me.

Good luck, but which of those are the scummers?  Assume it is not Town!

Southampton

What's this for? The title?
In which case surely Barcelona will blow it for you?

I'm guessing the CL after Barcelona stands for Champions League   :D

Oh oops  ;D
In which case, yeah I think Southampton will blow it.

might have a flutter on europa league tonight.

Talking about bets are we doing the annual Cheltenham Festval thread next week? Oevils and all!!!  :D

Anyone going by the way? I'm going down on the Thursday!

I am there all 4 days with work :-)

What is your job?

I'm Tony McCoy ......

Only joking .....

I work as a regional finance manager for a gambling firm ...... Expect all even money certs that fall flat on their arses to be cheered loudly from here :-)

Darlan in the Supreme Novices Chase is all the rage in Ireland.

Can get 6/1 at the moment

this is a football bets thread!!

I'm going on the Thursday... going to be expensive, i'm rubbish at betting on horses

 :pint:

Had fuck all last night despite a few late goals going my way. Going to have another punt for todays games!

Just checked my account on this - looks like I did it e/w so if it comes in thats £1772   :)

This leaves me in turmoil as I want West Ham to go up so they don't sack Big Sam but I need Soton to win the title.

Ah well, here's today's selections

HARTLEPOOL v Stevenage
Accrington v NORTHAMPTON
HEREFORD v Sarfend

10 pays 272

I almost went for Hereford and Northampton. Went for Bristol City, Rovers, Reading and Franchise instead - bit of a 'rivals' theme going on!

As you dont get a price on the draw, if a match you select finishes in a draw the match get voided.  I will pick a winner from all seven games starting on Thursday .... If 3 win and 4 draw, the 4 draws get cancelled and you pick up the treble!

Essex to bt Gloucestershire         8/15
Glamorgan to bt Leicestershire     8/11
Yorkshire to bt Kent                    8/15

£25 would return assuming all win ... £555.27

Obviously you have to adjust the figure for any draws/voids.

With snow forecast, I'd leave it for a few weeks.

So far so good, squeeky bum time.

Spoke too soon, thought it would be brum to cock it up.

ooop were ok again. I'm gonna keep quiet till they all finish.

Koln
Hoffenheim
Freiburg
Stutgart

And also
Spurs

Brun
Bolton

Forgot the odds

Gone for the following today after Crewe & Aldershot let me down yesterday.

Birmingham
Leicester
Brentford
Sheffield Utd
Fleetwood

£20 on a Saints/Stoke/Forest treble that is paying about 7/2

Could be buying money if Saints get their act together 2nd half

Scum just scored against Pompey, looked offside, but cest la vie

Pompey equalise in 94th minute, fully deserved

charlton looked odds on to win, then they get a man sent off, gonna be tough, could do with that 150quid

Come on Charlton ;)

At least Oldham don't have a man advantage now

Yeah.. Hey it's looking good!

Southampton? Scum?

It is now. Fingers crossed

How much do I get?

Wahey

Nice work, you seem to win a lot of bets *touch wood*

I do ok, done very well this week, but had a dry patch of about a month, I probably put about 25 quid with of bets a week most weeks.
Fingers crossed it keeps us as it is now.

Won fuck all. AGAIN

I was the same a few weeks back. Luck will change.

Just the one today, saving some for tomorrow.
Man city
Athletico Madrid
Athletico Bilbao
Bayer Leverkusen

5er returns 178

Those are some nice odds. What bookies do you use?

No bookies open today and exceeded my weekly deposit limits. Time to perhaps make my mrs an account!

Bet365.
Athletico Madrid 2 nil down after 10 minutes. Hmmm

My local betfred was open

Backing Arsenal, Schalke & Bilbao (Hope neither have Europa hangovers...) and PSG to make my fiver become 70 notes.

Really fancy Man City today.  Think they will cut open Arsenal defence easily.  2/1 for Man C on Betfair looks rather tasty

The emphasis on winning (after United dick QPR) will be so huge that City will bottle it.

Arsenal can play without pressure today, the easiest run in to the end of the season, win lose or draw.

Wenger will want to see United win title. Besides all the mercenaries who left the Emirates, be nice for AFC to shove it down the throats of them players that they are actually at a smaller but richer club sat on the bench.

Banker draw.

Hope you were not enticed  :wink:

In decimals (find it easier), 2.4 for Burnley to beat Doncaster. Seems a safe-ish bet for an accu.

I've gone for a 'Devon' themed bet today

Torquay
Exeter
Plymouth
Port Vale

10er pays 336

find it easier in decimals too. Will post up my bets when ive done em, thinking of doing a big one today seeing as i've got a fair bit this month

May be worth taking a punt on Creepies getting beat seeing as the fat one has fucked off oop north

Quite like the look of

Burnley
Wycombe
Torquay
Huddersfield
Crewe

Tenner returns 1140.

Newcastle
Charlton
Carlisle
Port Vale
Southend

£10 at 15.47

Bournemouth v HUDDERSFIELD
CHARLTON v Walsall
Doncaster v BURNLEY
PORT VALE v Macclesfield
Bath City v FOREST GREEN

£10 pays £291

After my cheeky fiver success yesterday I am putting another sneaky one upon West Ham, Burnley and Torquay worth £60

My other line is Newcastle, Blackpool, Charlton, Sheff Weds, Crewe and US £6 makes £60

Gillingham
Southend
Sheff Wed

£10 returns £48.11

Mmmm - quite like the look of that one - be a bit wary of Udders letting you down, though

Unlucky with that one.

Yellow bastards let me down for 300-odd - had Torquay to win

Real unlucky

shit, day today, need villa and west ham to win .

West Ham are on some awful run.

11 points in their last 8.
This loss would make it 11 in last 9 games.

yea, stupidly thought their run might change for the better today, alas

Spurs wrecked my accy today.

West Ham levelled eh. Villa drew.  :D

A quid on Sigurdsson/Swansea 1-3 scorecast

A fiver on a city/utd/arse treble.

Severely short on money until expenses come on so hoping the first one comes in to fund Saturday beers

Have done a random wigan,wolves double

Good luck Sir Pie.

Umm.. Maloney.

I am still in with a chance.Mental

Um.. really?

Some cunt text me wolves were winning.. Asshole

Haha  :D

I had a feeling Wigan would be a thorn in Utd's side. At least it makes for a more interesting end to the season if you're bothered about the prem in any way.

Wigan do this EVERY year, scrap a run together at the end of the season which sees them safe

As Wigan beat Man Utd and we beat Wigan, are we best team in the country?

Yup  :nod:

Of course

Not football but Australia getting home last night in the cricket landed me £160.

Seems opposing Swansea at the moment will pay off - on a dreadful run

Turrew turrew.

Another day to fill the bookies satchels

Reading
QPR
Blackburn
West Ham

At least off to a good start with the Plastics winning last night

10er pays 750ish

That's a good bet, I fancy both Blackburn and QPR to win away today, good luck to you.

Norwich @ 9/2 to beat Man City at home has got to be worth a couple of quid also.

Unfortunately the only good bet is a winning one- and that remains to be seen!

At least there's only a couple of weeks of the season left to lose more wonga!!

got my bets down, also got me horses.

Just put a massive £1 stake on the following teams which could net me a whopping £67.25...

QPR
Nottingham Forest
Charlton
Southend

ive got a maverick eight game away wins acca (£2 into £8k) - qpr, bburn, hudds, charlt, mk, sheff wed, afc w, crewe

Bromley to beat Truro at 7/4

Mate is a Truro fan, they have big injury worries, and it looks like one of their strikers will be playing in goal today.

Shrews
Sheff W
Sheff U
Birmingham
Bayern

And this is why I never win any money on football.

Should've put money on Town to win 1-0 as I predicted, d'oh.

Haha that's amazing.

Amazing

Had 1.0 Chelsea, Drogba first goal at 70/1.
Lovely stuff.

Noice.

 :clap:

Seems like almost all winning bets on this thread are posted after they have won  ::)

Duh

had chelsea in my accy but other lost 1 other game. gutted

If Swindon win the league I win £100, if Shrewsbury win the league I win £110. Can't lose.

If you just put £10 win on STFC to win the league, then your bet is probably void ;)

I put money on us at the start of the season.

I got 18/1 on Steve Kean to be the next manager to leave their job in the Premiership just before they lost to Liverpool, which I put quite a bit on.
Thought that was very generous considering who their owners are and they were still in relegation when those odds were on offer. Also the bet doesn't include Terry Conner as he's only a caretaker manager. Fingers crossed their players keep refusing to play for him!

I like the guy.

I got blackburn to go down at 5s but i also had newcastle. My old man has a cracking double on van persie(14s) and lambert(22s) top goalscorers which looks set to bring him in a few grand.

Did he put on a tenner??

Lambert was at 22s? Crazy.

I know it is easy to say in hindsight, but that's a cracking bet.

I would never in a million years have thought Lambert had a chance being top scorer. He's fat.

Got a feeling he put 20 on can't remember,herthab may remember what he said.Saints newly promoted so could understand. He also lost a few hundred on crawley to win the league but did back us for promotion

Well he may have won himself 6k!

Bloody West Ham :badmood:

Cost me and a mate - thousands !!    literally  >:(

Pre-season we put on a bet to predict the winners of each league -

Man Utd

West Ham

Charlton

Town

For a tenner we'd have scooped £2600 !!  As I put it at fiver/each way we'd still have won £600 if they came second

But no, barring a miracle and Saints crash and burn - we aint gonna get a bean !! :cry:

Still, not the end of the world, as I had £25 on Town to win the title at 10-1 so (hopefully) will do nicely out of that.

We cant 'do a West Ham' can we ?    no.....no.....no.... :no:

Must be a tenner then as i am sure he said about 3k

That stinks.

I sure someone did a similar one but with the spanish league as well. I think they put Southampton though.

You obviously misunderstood what I was getting at, never mind.

What odds did he get on Southampton to win the Spanish league?

....

Saturday bets:

Away wins - 4 trebles 1 four-fold

Brentford 5/2
Notts Forests 9/4
Colchester 3/1
Aldershot 15/8


Home treble

Plymouth 9/4
Ipswich 5/4
Oldham 5/4

That's a ridiculous away four-fold

£10 on that 4 fold would return £1308.13!

Yeah it's worth a cheeky 1 pound bet. Not really worth staking more!

Any bets realistically worth putting on?

I couldn't resist a bet today for the weekend, but this is the time of the year where usual dead certs slip up due to already being promoted etc.

I've jinxed Crawley by sticking them in my accumulator.

I normal wait till morning, so will post up then

I never back odds on - in the last eight seasons I have always made a profit at the end of the season on football bets, this might of course go pearshape, but hey ho.

Cant understand people betting odds on when there is so much value in odds against in football bets, remember a treble wins money, and if you only hit one treble in four weeks you still win.

By the way I gamble for a living, have not had a proper a job for 15 or so years.

Normally I am the one taking the bets and not making them, if you want to bet odds on shots in trebles and  accumulators in football then I am very happy to take your bets all day long.

How do you take bets? Betfair?

I'm a bookie on the course and have my own phone account customers

Impressive. So you don't really make any bets then?

Not sure what you mean.
If you mean do I just take bets, then no.
Betting is in the blood and I like all punters have a dabble.

If you want to have a bet and you have serious money then I'll lay it, not in the habit of laying bets for 50p or £5. The more you want to back in money the lower the odds seem to attract a punter.
Without doubt the best value in gambling is football bets, where else will you get two possible winners in a three horse race when in some cases are all odds against.

If I've not made myself clear about footie bets, look at Arsenal v Chelsea tomorrow, who do you fancy?

If you shop around you can get Arsenal at 11/8
The draw at 11/4
Chelsea at 10/3

back any two from three and you win, great value if you are prepared to fork out serious money

Couldn't agree more dell. 2 bets that always serve me well over the course of a season are home teams over 4s and red cards in televised games.

Surely the red card bet is a bit more hit and miss and less easy to try and predict or does that make the odds higher?

You get decent odds.I would say you get a sending off every 3-4 games on tv then you get a mad run where it happens nearly every game for a month.

ive gone for
arsenal (h)
swansea (a)
norwich (a)

birmingham (a)
portsmouth (h)
watford (a)
hull (h)

Mk paying 2.5s to beat sheffield utd got to be worth a dab

Couple of random bets today

Walcot first goal

Van Persie first and 2-1 win

Red card in Ars/Chels game

Norwich
Swansea
Qpr

Hull
Peterborough
Reading
Notts County
Hudds

What were the odds for a red card?

4/1 today mate. Most games are usually 5s

Bristol City to beat Barnsley at 8/11

Crawley to beat Dag and Red 4/6

Done a double

Barnsley awful as of late and Bristol need to win to secure safety

Dags are safe and Crawley need to win to keep 3rd spot

Crawley always do me over though !

Chelsea draw
Norwich win
Swansea win
Swindon win

1 squid returns 66. Shit odds from Coral though.

Good old Crawley, never disapoint me

Saints one up after 55 seconds......my dads Swindon/Saints double could be back on after Reading only drawing v Palace earlier.

Saints home to Coventry next week...Reading at Brum in there last matches....if Saints can win today i reckon they are favourites again.

Southampton playing some lovely stuff, too.

got madrid at 5s. biggest bet of the day for me

aaah much my son?????

They lost 2-1 in the end.  Wtached Saints a few times over these last few weeks.  Reckon they will need 5-6 new players next season or could struggle. 

Then again teams like Norwich and Swansea have done well this season, so who knows !

Put 15 on ronald

Shit day today.

Mhm

 :badmood: :badmood:

Skybet paid out on my 'STFC to be promoted bet'... i didn't have the faith that we'd win the thing!

Man Utd
Man City
Liverpool

City & United to score 10 or more between them (16s with william hill)

Button to win Grand Prix 5/1

Surely the odds for your treble is pretty low.

Yep just under 3s. So put a bigger stake on.

Have just noticed though that Everton are a stupid 9/1 with Stan James so may have to have a fiver on that. They are only team i can see fucking up the treble

Just been reminded aswell that i have Villa at 16s to be relegated

Needless worrying on breaking the treble.

The united and city to score 10 or more between them is looking a little bit tastier now. Don't regret not doing the bet, mind.

Flipping eck, Man v Everton is 4-4. Was 4-2 a minute ago.

Needless worrying indeed

Pahhahaa. That's quite something.

I would have thought the Liverpool game should have been your biggest worry.

Well no it's this one as the score shows :-)

Evidently

thought i had a cracking bet with utd at evens. arse :badmood:

Bologna bet in play @ 13/5
ath bilbao @ 1/1
man city
Celtic

£5 wins £79.35

bilbao, bologna and celtic all winning. Something will surely go wrong  :nod:

i have a backup if man city let me down and put a few quid on wolves to win & draw.

YES!!! Milan down to 10  :D

Oh FFS!!!!!! fuck you Milan

Bummer.

I've learn never to prematurely post. Always wait till the bets complete. If you win, gloat, if not you keep quiet if you choose.

What online sites do you use?

Thinking about signing up and wasting some of my student loan...

if your new to online betting then go thought looking for the free bet jobbies, bet365, skybet, paddy power, william hill, bet fred, bet fair, 888, ladbrooks. to name a few, most of these will have a free matched bet, some, such as Skybet are promoting a 100% free £10 bet for signing up.

The thing is with these free bets, you need to wager some of that to withdraw anything don't you?

Which you match off at a betting exhcange i.e. Betfair for no risk profit

not all of them, just have to read the small print, some make you bet 3 times before you can withdraw yes.

skybet posted on twitter that one person had the man u everton game at 4-4 with jelavic to score first. 4000/1 odds, luck for skybet the punter on put on a quid. Skybet could have mad a serious loss there.

Not quite the same as..

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/business/news/the-goal-that-cost-bookie-william-hill-570000-6292117.html (http://www.independent.co.uk/news/business/news/the-goal-that-cost-bookie-william-hill-570000-6292117.html)

I can never find online ones where i don't have to match it or deposit anything >:(

Skybet give you a free 5 pound bet (or 10 pounds I can't remember). No deposit.

And you can choose an extra bonus on top of that. Like £10 free to play on sky bingo etc.

Will have a look. Cheers

The trick is to lay the same result at the exchange at the same or similar odds. You lose on one but win the other, therefore losing a tiny amount of cash (the commission at the exchange more often than not).

Do the same with the free bet when you get it, but because it is free money at the bookies you are guaranteed a profit.

e.g. initial bet £20 at bookies at evens would mean you win £20 or lose £20. The same bet laid at the exchange at the same odds would mean you lose £20. Effect = lose £20 at the exchange but gain £20 at the bookies = £0 profit/loss.

Free bet of £20 at bookies at evens would mean you win £20 or lose £0. Lay this bet at the exchange for £10 at the same odds. Win at the exchange you make £10, lose the lay and you're £10 down.
Effect = lose £10 at the exchange but make £20 at the bookiers = £10 profit or vice-versa.

Obviously a very simple example assuming the free bet pays out at low odds (you may need higher than evens) and doesn't take into account the commission at the exchange. But there are online calculators which work out what you need to stake to maximise profit.

think its a tenner,

Congrats on your 1000th post Trig!

Thanks!  :D

Open an account with coral and boylesport.  Look out for evening greyhound markets.  Sometimes they let you bet on the race after it has finished (only on races which are not live at the bookmakers).  Stick a £10 forecast on the first two dogs, usually pays anywhere between £90-£500.
The bookies always pay out and never cotton onto the fact that you have placed a bet 1 minute after the off time.

Skybet and totesport used to be the same, but they have changed their software recently (probably after realising i spunked then for a few grand )

Leicester tonight 2/1

That will do me

Wowsers. This really works?

I just tried without making an account, but it says it has already started, and then the odds get greyed out.

No all the races run today are live at the bookmakers and they provide prices so you won't be able to bet after the event

On Tuesdays theire are races at Poole which arent broadcast live at the bookies.  So you may have a chance.  However in the last 3 weeks ive only managed to do one late bet which won me £200.  Unfortunately you will have to sit on your pc all night and hopefully come across a race which you can place a late bet on

www.24dogs.com is a good site for quick results

Does it have to be done quickly, i.e. within a couple of minutes?

Also, why wouldn't you bet more than 10 pounds? In case it doesn't get paid out?

Yes as they will only let you bet on the event untill their system stops you (ie it greys out like you experienced).

Usually you can get a result 1 minute after the race.  If you bet on an event 15 minutes after its finished, your more likely to be caugyty

You mentioned using it showing prices for ones that don't work.

So it should say SP or whatever, if it stands any chance of working?

Yes

Its not odd for online bookies to pay winning bets of between £100-£600.   If you start winning £2,000 on a bet, they will probably investigate your account

This is naughty stuff, but worth a try.

I bet it won't work  :D

If it shows prices it means the bookies have a feed to the race.  As a result they will close the race when the race is just about to start (to prevent any late bets).  If it shows SP all the time, it means they dont have a feed.  

Again i cant promise you that this will happen for a while (otherwise i wouldnt have bothered broadcasting it on here as everyone would do it).  However if your patient and know what races to look for, you will make a fair wack in the long run

Actually im not sure the bookies have a live feed for Yarmouth tonight, but the first race went of on time on their system unfortuantely

So it didn't work?

Nope like i said it won't always work otherwise i would be retired now in Barbados.  However you have to keep an eye on it and reep your rewards when their systems are failing

Leicester 2-2 West Ham, Drinkwater scorecast 175/1

Drinkwater first and last goalscorer at 20/1

As you can see I think Drinkwater may score

Expect a torrent of abuse when he doesn't score. Have you got a live stream?

Not got home yet but I may have to. Only have a quid on each mind

Cry me a river.

I see

Does that count as a whoosh?

Yeah you can have that one. Wasn't a good joke though.

 :dance:

Treble:

Barcelona
Real Madrid
Aston Villa

Both team to score:

Barcelona v Chelsea : NO
Real v Bayern : NO
Aston Villa v Bolton : NO
AC Milan v Genoa : NO

Both very measly bets. I don't have money, and I'm going to the game on Saturday.

ok trying again tonight after my AC Milan screwed me over on Sunday  :(

Barcelona only (score)
gateshead
wrexham
swindon (sat)

£5 @ 21.85/1   Returns: £114.25

i had
atalanta
cagliari
bolton
wrexham
5-er @ 36/1

nice nice, makes up for my losses over the last 3 weeks

Nice one. I should follow your bets and copy you.

Nice little return thanks to ray winstone

you wouldn't have been saying that if i actually posted up some of my recent bets, i tend to only post the ones that come through :-)

You must be up by a long way though.

Getting closer on your Villa bet too.

Yep they are caught right up in it now

I've got Villa to go down too. Thank you DRS for the guidance.

not quitting my day job just yet, lets put it that way, im doing ok though for a few beer tokens every weekend.

Today I have had:

£20 on .....

Real Madrid to beat Bayern Munich                      8/15

BRC to beat CSK                                               10/11
Pune to bear Deccan (Tomorrow)                          4/6

£20 returns £235.11

got a little silly bet today
madrid 4 munich 2

5-er at 34/1

A fiver on that!

Gutsy.

i left a 5-er in after withdrawing last nights winnings. The way some results have been going recently. :-)

Well good luck to you.  :D

To be honest, it's not the most unlikeliest of scorelines.

Totesport offering a free £5 bet on sign up. No deposit required.

Has anyone got a promo code for totesport btw?

Which is the best bet of these 3?

SOUTHAMPTON vs Cov
CRAWLEY vs Hereford
SHREWSBURY vs Dagenham
SWINDON vs Port Vale
MAN CITY vs Man United

£5 returns £38.50 odd

SOUTHAMPTON vs Cov
CRAWLEY vs Hereford
SHREWSBURY vs Dagenham
SWINDON vs Port Vale
Torquay vs Crewe DRAW

£5 returns £67.50

SOUTHAMPTON vs Cov
CRAWLEY vs Hereford
SHREWSBURY vs Dagenham
SWINDON vs Port Vale
Rochdale vs Franchise

£5 returns £40.50

Franchise to win on that last one.

The middle one looks good to me.

Swansea to beat Wolves
West Brom to beat Villa
Carlisle to beat Exeter

£5 returns £28.25

Any good?

Need to put more than a 5er on that one

West Brom v Villa :hmmm:

Villa on an awful run of form.

Never bet on Derbies....ie Oxford 6 points Swindon 0.

Looks good on paper though....good luck.

Love to see villa go down

I fancy Hereford to get something at Crawley.

On current form, probably a good smack in the mouth!

Everybody probably said that about Man Utd before the Everton game.

Just used the free 5 pound bet on Totesport.

Swindon
Bolton
Villa

Returns 100.

Cheers for the free bet

A Bilbao
Swindon/swindon HT/FT  ;D
Newcastle
Man Utd

£5 wins £127.50 

You never know.

these next few weekend are gonna be tough, theres are lot of teams that are in the position of make or break. so teams will be busting more than a gut to get wins. can see some upsets comming our way.

Yours seem easier than mine!

I had £10 on Chelsea with a +/- 1 difference the other night, that paid out £37.50 so i put that Real Madrid to win last night which was on at 8/15 and paid out  £57.20, all of which has now gone as i had to fill my car up.

I feel that your winnings have to be spent on things other than things you'd normally spend money on (i.e. shopping, petrol..)
It's more rewarding that way!

I would agree normally but the car only had 3 miles until it was empty & i don't get payed until tomorrow or Monday.

Hope you were on tonight

About the only good thing about Oxford !!!!!

Simples

How often do you think you could do it without being caught?

I've done it for a while. Worst case scetnario I've had is they have closed my account down - but never asked for any money back. I just opened in friends name and go 50-50 with them. As I said you can't do it everyday and an oppurtunity like tonight may not come up now for a few weeks. If it was a daily event then I wouldn't broadcast on here

Where from? Coral?

Weird.

Why don't you do a tricast? Again, due to the suspicion?

Nothing today so far I don't think?

That's ace, it's like a real life version of The Sting.

Any tips on the most successful dog tracks for getting results and which bookies are worth using?

I'll give this a go at some point i imagine... can't turn down free money

On which note people on twitter should follow @paddypower. They intermittently offer enhanced odds not available through the website, which if one were inclined could be laid off on an exchange for a locked in profit. For example they just had Liverpool to beat Norwich boosted to 5/2, which is currently just above evens on Betfair.

And they limit you to 20 quid a chuck, which means its fucking pointless - particularly with football bets at skinny prices.

Disagree, the price difference is enough for you to make about a tenner a go out of it. Worth 30 seconds of mouse clicking for 10 quid of free money imho.

Hardly free money  ???

No it is

How.

One final thing.

On coral, when it says "X has started", but you have clicked the bet which is SP, will it work?
Or must it not even say "X has started" for it to work?

Haven't made my account yet.

Knowing you pericarp you'll end up getting caught and going to prison.  :D

No I'll pull out my Trig card. They won't suspect a thing.

Read my post about matched betting earlier in the thread, though to be honest you'd probably fuck it up

Oh that business again.

I definitely would not fuck it up.  :smugfu:

I stuck an accy on today.

£1 on returns 9 and a half grand.

I'm not that optimistic...

Umm. That must be like 15 teams??

But umm.. Good luck  ;D

eightfold.

£9474.86 exactly.

Wow, what are the odds on that?

Wowsers  :D

List them please  ;)

I'm guessing 9473.86 to 1

How do you work out odds?

Well he staked 1 pound which returns 9474.86.

That means the winning must have been 9473.86.
Which means it must have been 9473.86 to 1 odds  ???

So do you have to work it out yourself before you place the bet?

No they tell you

I had backed John Higgins to win the snooker so barring the comeback of the century that ones fucked!

I wont get those wasted minutes back I spent reading the last few pages of this thread. that annoys me :crash:

You just wasted 5 seconds of my life. Cunt.

Wes Brom
birmingham - Reading -  DRAW
Watford - Middlesbrough - DRAW
Wycombe
Barnet - Wimbledon - DRAW
Daggers
Fleetwood
Hearts





Reckon Daggers will get an upset over Shrews.

Wycombe will be the one to let me down I reckons...

I've got a Middlesborough Away win in one accumulator. They'll win, Cardiff will draw....into the play offs they go!

Surely, if this lapse in bookies software does exist, then the best way of exploiting it is to get in contact with someone who actually attends the track to phone in the result as soon as the dogs go past the line to minmise any time delay

hate doing bets at the end of the season, ive gone for a lot of away wins today, always risky

Some of the races you can watch online on www.24dogs.com, so the difference in real time is about 15 seconds.

shrews, gills, aldershot |
westbrom, swansea, wimbledon, rovers |
brentford, Franchise, chesterfield, crawley, bradford |

cardiff get a point they remain in playoffs, unless boro win by 10 goals.

I think you've created a new sport - trigger baiting.

Don't know why I've bothered seeing the crap form I'm in, but this is my fantasy treble

Oxford v SOUTHEND
SWINDON v Prot Vale
Turkey v CREWE

20 pays 292

COME ON CREWE!!!

oh dear :(

Morcombe conceding in th 83 rd minute fucke me over. Meh.

Who else has had a pay out from the bookies today now we have sewn that up?
My fav horse who i always back e/w when he runs(tidal bay) romped home today too at the same price i backed the town to win the league funnily enough   :beers: :pint:

Just checked my Betfair account and £270 was added in earlier this evening for a £30 stake.Hope plenty of Town fans are hitting the bookies tonight,what a team and what a club.So So Proud of them all

Yep - £72 better off.

Cheers Ladbrokes for the £100.

£1100 from Mr Bet365 - xxxxxxxx

Just transferred 1200 from Bet 365 and 1800 from Betfair into my bank account

You fucking beauty!!!!

COYR

Well done

Mr pad pow has just deposited £160. Happy days.

Was after an udinese and peg win. Udinese came in but PDF threw their lead away, may come back, but happy with my serie a accy.

anyone putting anything on the manc derby tonight?

tempted with 1-0 city, teves to score @ 36/1

I'm tempted by 1-1, Tevez at any time @ 40/1 - but my football gambling has been so bad this year.

its a tough one this one, could be a tight low scoring game or going by this weekends football scores it could be a whitewash.

United to win at 11/4 looks good to me. Might have a bit of the DRS patented red card bet at around 9/4 as well.

4-1 City.  I think United fear them after last time.

Utd to win to nil @ 5/1

aguero first goal scorer @8/1
Rooney same price is good value too

bet 365 gave me £10 for some unknown reason, not gonna complain so ive gone for
2-1 City with Aguero to score first
Also with the spare 85p ive done 4-4 draw with silva to score anytime. 231/1 :-)

City win, anything odds against is huge, fill ya boots y

If Rooney scores any time money back on any goalscorer markets at paddypower

Just backed united at 12s

I've got various correct score bets on this game and 1-0 isn't one of them!!

nothing apart from a 5-er back from bet 365 for making an inplay bet

Glad I didn't put any on yesterday.

Will try the greyhounds today.  :D

nice one had £50 on the plus 1 bet. End of season footy is usually good for punters. Had Cardiff, Swindon, Cheltenham and Celtic last weekend. Just need to pick teams who have something to play for, or bet against teams who put reserves/youths out

I like the way you got it ALL wrong.

 :D :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick: :clap:

Got a 22p bet on Newcastle Bolton double.

Returns 6.20. Worth it.  :D

Did the £10 skybet sign up deposit on

CHELSEA - Newcastle
Bolton - SPURS
ABERDEEN - Hibs
KILMARNOCK - St. Mirren

Aberdeen and kilmarnock both currently losing. Am i right in thinking that if I win I won't be able to withdraw the money?

Newcastle too. I'm shit at this

Got a bolton,newcastle double and davies to score a header

wasnt going to bet today and wait till tomorrow but something told me to bet on german football. and im bloody glad i did.

So close but a very nice runners up prize.

When will bookies start taking bets for next season?

Yesterday :D

Can't wait to put a hefty sum on Swindon e/w

Have City, PSG and AC. £5 for £30.

Will deffo be having a crack, dunno about a hefty sum tho

By hefty I mean something like 20 quid e/w.

 ;D

I might be able to stretch to that, and maybe a tenner on as Champions

Skybet currently have us as joint favourites to win League 1 at 10/1

Those are some shit shit odds.
How about to get promoted?

QPR to go down.
Think Bolton will win at stoke and they will get battered at man city.

Last minute 4 fold tonight
Wigan
Hibs
Montpelier
Some 2nd dic french team

5er netted 130 quid. Wigan left it late for me mind. Still happy days and a successful weekend.

wigan winning lost me a wedge. had a draw plus wrexham and west ham to win in a 11/1 treble. arse

Jesus. Obviously the odds for us to do worse than winning the league are worse than that.

Great feeling when you login to your account and find you won £65 on a bet you totally forgot about putting on due to beer intake

What's the best one to open an account with to stick some cash on us for next season?

Have a look at www.oddschecker.com and it will compare what odds every firm is offering.

No shit Sherlock.

OBVIOUSLY, as you say, the odds are worse than winning the league. I was wondering HOW MUCH WORSE. Jesus.

around 1/4 of the odds. might get 1/3 or an extra place at some bookies

Who would you recommend for a decent free bet

Or would I be better going to my local bookies?

It's entirely plausible that Peri doesn't know what Skybet is, or how to visit their site to check said odds.

Here we go again. Cue more abuse. Bring it on. I've had a shit day, so just give me a little more.

Skybet doesn't tell you the odds for mere promotion next season.

I think you have your answer then, no odds yet.

Cheer up you sensitive sod :)

Anyone got any on the golf then?

Well, Skybet are offering 10/1 for us to win League 1 with a quarter odds for promotion - so 5/2

Crap odds in my opinion - I wont be betting on us unless I can get 16/1 minimum

Stevenage
Huddersfield
Cheltenham
Crewe
West Ham

82/1

I think I am going to back France for Euro 2012.  Drawn in Englands group which should be a gimme. Also some decent players like Benzema, Ribery and Nasri.  Normally I would back the Germans at all major tournaments but they are no price at all.

What odds for England NOT to get out of the group? Usually Bookmakers in England give shit odds for England to win the whole tournament so would be hoping that they would be pricing this with St George Cross specs on.

England 5/2 to come 3rd in group

7/2 to come 4th in group

with Betfair

Thanks. France will wallop us, we rarely beat Sweden and although Ukraine are no good, they are at home so will have some sort of advantage. 7/2 looks tempting enough.

You get the shit odds because of the patriotic punter!  And the bookies having to react to this on the off chance England pull something off.

I remember Pre World Cup 2006 I was in Germany and England were virtually double the price they were in England!

I think for a long shot I might back Roman Pavluyenchenko for top goal scorer.  In a group with poland and Greece so a chance to rack up a few so worth a punt e/w at 40/1

Not a footy tip but a sauce of mine (he owns a coupe of nags and has the ear of his trainer) is all over April Fool in the 3.40 at Chester, around 8/1.

I've backed £20 e/w so it's bound to do nothing now!

HP?

I'll have a nibble. Can't resist a tip

A bit of form and quite well drawn.  I'll have a punt e/w!

That gives me a little more confidence if someone else likes the look of it.

Coral have a nice 33/1 yes/no.

Qpr to score a goal.
United to lead at half time.
Bolton to score first against stoke.
Liverpool bt swansea.
Tottenham and arsenal win.
30 goals or more this weekend.

First two horses I have backed e/w today have both come last!

Abrahammer he's jinxed it proper now

So you bet £10 and you lose £10?

Brown Panther just cost me a nice double with the winner in the 1st race, Micheal Owen is a cunt

Almost time .... Into 13/2 on Bet365!

i got 8.5 on bet365 abuot an huor ago

The 13/2 didnt last.  Back at 8's now .....

There off!

Not looking good.

keep us posted of results

4th useless mule!

Fucking dog meat, a head short of a place as well for an extra kick in the balls.

As soon as went out as the pacemaker I gave up hope.

Gone for Stevenage, Huddersfield, Cheltenham, Torquay accumulator.

35/1

Also the 33/1 yes/no..

Qpr not to score.
Arsenal and Tottenham to win.
Liverpool to beat Swansea.
Bolton to score the first goal.
Utd to lead at half time.
30 goals or fewer in the epl this weekend.

Done a bye-bye season 7-fold

Man City
Man Utd
Spurs
Wigan
Bolton
Chelsea
WBA v Arsenal draw

25 pays a whopping 1412

All prem teams to sfore was 160/1 at skybet.

Rude not to

Fuck me - I'll be shitting it in the 2nd half!

Haha good luck! Probably arsenal will be the one to look out for.

shit me, thats not looking to bad at half time

I can accept any of those scores letting me down except Wolves - fucking hate 'em!

Bet it's Spurs though!

I think Joey Barton must have a bet on Man City. What an utter spasticated cretin of a bafoon.

Well that gives city the title and bolton to stay up.

The arsenal goal fucks your accu Kerry, sorry!

It ain't over til its over! Fair play to QPR hope they hold on

QPR fuckin unbelievable!

Tevez is shite 2day

Sorry kerry about arsenal! What a cracking last day.

I put a £1 win double on Swindon winning league2 (@ 10-1) and Man city winning the prem (@11-4) back last august, any ideas what it'll pay out?

about 40 quid

£41.25

Thanks, that'll pay for a few beers then   :beers: :beers:

Liverppol, villa sundrland and fulham can all fuck off.

Pay extortiante wages and cant even score a fucking goal

Cunts

West Ham and Bayern double. Must be worth it.

what we talking pericarp?  i can't really see beyond those two personally

Looks like 4-7 for West Ham and 2-5 for bayern, making I believe 6-5 overall.
So a £10 bet would win you £12 (plus stake back).
Not really worth getting excited about.

West Ham, Munich and Hearts.

No idea about Hearts Hibernian.

I went hearts on the basis that hibs finished 11th. But Looking into it more, Hearts have a few injuries whereas Hibs don't.

I never, EVER, win money. So one will cock up

Done the same bet as you. Not much mind.

Oh, and I've also never won money from a football bet. Interesting.

Two wrongs make a right, some may say.

Well i thought i'd be different and back the underdogs

Blackpool
Chelsea

(to lift trophy)

£10 wins £75

Ive got a bet i put on yesterday though

Bayern to lift trophy
hearts
PSG

£10 wins £40

I have done West Ham, Hearts & Chelsea. I have just checked my £10 bet returns about £180.

Chelsea
Blackpool
Hibs

48/1

Posted this in Champions League thread but oh well..

5 quid stake on 3-2 Chelsea @ 40/1 wins 205 quid.

5 quid stake on Drogba to score first at 7/1 wins 40 quid.

25 quid on west ham promotion pre season at 2:1.......fuckers made me wait...

http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11095/7765860/Canaries-chief-calms-storm

Lambert getting the Villa job looks a decent bet then?

Hmm... I wonder. I have followed Bogus Dave on this one..

Let it not be a draw. Although I love penalties!

Lost shitty accy.Got bet on chelsea now,plus chelsea win 2-1 drogba

had 2 bets today.
the frankel race forcast which came in to more or less double my money, and need bayern to win for a treble pay out.
might do lampard to score at any time as i think drog might buy a pen tonight

Lampard to score anytime was 4/1 at Coral.

For all those backing Hearts today. Like printing money, Hibs were probably the worst team I have ever seen.

done fat frank to score any time and 3-1 to bayern

I've panicked, and ended up putting a tenner on chelsea to win (£45) and a tenner on a draw (£36). After earlier bet of £5, if bayern win that nets me £35ish.

Means I'm guaranteed to win, but net takings will be small.

What's the point in betting on all outcomes? Kind of defeats the object.

If you can't afford to lose, don't bet!

Guaranteed profit is always good

Haha. I know, I do feel a bit of a ninny. The original plan was to use the £20 free bet o2 had given me through William hill, but the code they gave didn't work, and then I panicked.

I'll take the winnings though, however small.

This is bullshit.

My winless run continues.

If you had half a brain this would tell you something.  Somehow I think you will continue.

Well surely I'd have to get at least one win before quitting.

I shall continue.

Swindon 11/1 outright at Coral

Give up, gambling is a mugs game. Once you won you'll decide winning is fun and you'll always be down.

Quit while you're behind, instead of waiting to be ahead, and you won't waste as much money chasing the unattainable dream.

Wait until PdC is no longer manager - the price will be bigger!

I'd say that from all the bets i've ever made it is around 60/40 in favour of the bookie. I'm happy with that and bet for the fun of it. Getting the days of healthy returns makes it worthwhile i think

Don't get me wrong arriba, I have nothing against gambling and understand some simply have fun doing it. I make a couple of bets a year just for fun. I made about £540 profit from our promotion and beating Vale comprehensively.

Some people do become addicted to it though and waste their lives doing it. I've seen it first hand with my grandad losing everything and another member of my family constantly making silly bets to make a tiny return, which should they win, they then squander on the next 'sure thing'. (£500 on Man u for the title just before kick off against Man C...)

Personally I have too great an attachment to money to gamble. I also hate losing more than I could ever enjoy winning! :)

done a few long shot bets for the euros.
have prediced 1st/2nd places in every group.
and predicted the top 2 places (regardless of what possision)
the latter having odds of 800/1 (approx) Like i said, its a long shot.

Agree Barry. It's all about getting the balance right. Expect to lose and enjoy the wins.

Cant believe Russia are odds against.

Russia 7/5
Poles 11/10

£20 double pays outs just over £100

Glad I aint the only one who lumped on that double!

Germany, Spain, Russia, France to win their groups. 20/1

Good old greyhounds !!!

Tried every now and then for ages..

Never worked.  :D

Is it Coral you're doing this at?

Yep tonight i did, they were very slack tonight, oppurtunities galore !

Djokovic now 5/1 to win. Worth a punt?

What has that got to do with football bets you thick cunt

Oh cos greyhounds play football you twat.

Asking if bets are good ideas aint a good idea. Just stick up stuff you've backed or fancy.

I'm going for spain win and ireland draw double today. Once i know the teams will do some goal scorer bets too. Had a good last couple of days so hope to keep up the streak

  :D

couple of quid on a spain 3-2 win got a couple on torres to score at anytime aswell

Lumped on Spain at 5/6.  Think they will have too much class for Italy.

Really fancy France to beat England tomorrow as well

England will beat France

yeah on opposites day

Not with Welbeck upfront we wont

Well he won us our last game with a sublime finish...so i am hopefull we get more of the same.

That was against Belguim, hardly a world class team or defence. Hes done nothing this season to warrant getting picked over Rooney or Carroll.

Think he has 15-16 goals in about 50-60 appearances.

Edit: Yes i forgot Rooney is suspended

After a very nice payout yesterday thanks to a 11/1 Denmark/Germany double i have chucked a fiver on a draw double for todays games.

Couple of quid on Pirlo for 1st goal at 22's.
 

That hasnt happened.

I would go with Carroll personally though.

Gone for Fabregas first scorer

Oh ye of little faith!!

Gone balotelli and also a sending off

He'll either get one or the other i think

Iniesta to score first at 10/1 is great value.

Balotelli to score first was 12/1 earlier which I thought was decent.

Fucksake.That was his chance.

Judging by that, 12/1 looks far too short!

Lucky I didn't put much on it eh.

Balls.

Keane 1-0 ireland 40/1

A boring game with no goal attempts please

darn

the missis bet £2 on 3-1 croatia 18-1

nice, was that a random bet?

having a mare so far

had a good 39/1 accy going last night, with a couple of the African and South American WC Qualifying, Just needed columbia to win but they went and got beat 1-0

Lumping on Russia and a Denmark/Germany double will leave me a in credit for a quite a few more days as a worst case scenario.

Double on France/Sweden pays around 6/1, think that will be my bet of the day

aint got access to gambling websites at work, so can someone look and see the best odds on England drawing all 3 games? ta

Gone patriotic,

Gerrard to score first and England to win 3-0 250/1

Around 29/1

at the start of the tourny i lumped £20 on benzema to be top scorer at 11/1

obviously want england to win but wouldnt mind a couple of benzema too. :-)

England 1-0 young scoring 50/1

France 2-0

Benzema

Sweden to beat Ukraine        9/5
Russia to beat Poland           11/8
Czech Rep to beat Greece     11/8

£20 returns £315.88

arnt most bets random? i let her have a few quid on the result in every game, keeps her keen then.

Not football but i was given a tip this morning for the a race at folkstone at 3:45 colourbearer from 16-1 to 10-1 i had a sneaky each way bet

Fiver on Roy and the England boys staked. Returns £15. Hardcore gambler me.

5 er on 3-0 ukraine if the other 3 match days are anything to go by, the evening game shuold be a goal fest

Not sure the Ukies will keep a clean sheet, Shovkovsky out injured.  Could Yarmolenko be the lad to set up the goals though?  If you want a Ukraine win, maybe 3-1 could be the shout.

Bummer

New Day = New Hope ......

Russia to bt Poland                     11/8
Czech to bt Greece                     11/8
Notts to bt Leicestershire             4/7
Sussex to bt Kent                       8/11

£20 returns £306.21

Also had £50 on Czech to qualify from Group A at 9/4 so need them to win tonight! 

ive had to go with poland (for obvious reason) i hope we can snatch a sneaky win

Can't see Poland beating the Russians unfortunately.

i know but there is always hope :-)

threw a few quid on czech 2-1 win 10-1 an a quid on rosicky to score first 14-1 and stuck a fiver on vaclav pilar to score at anytime 7-2

:D

2 out of 3 aint bad  :)

Man of the match bets in the Euros look decent.

THIS (https://twitter.com/#!/_ManOfTheMatch) guy on twitter picked 5 of the first 6. MOTM is done on voting on UEFA website then a 'legend' picks the final winner from the top three in the vote. One for the TEF pressure group?!

Arshavin is the man in question tonight, has an assist to his name already, fingers crossed.

ive been doing this got 4 of em up, Dzagoev could get this,

top 3 for mom
Andrei Arshavin   
2/1
Alan Dzagoev   
7/2
Robert Lewandowski   
10/1

watch out for
Jakub Blaszczykowski   
11/8
not in top 3 yeat but could be by end of the game
