21/20 on Everton draw no bet with Ladbrokes. How sweet!

Was in a hurry so did not shop around, as it were.

[Duty281]

Two quid on a tenfold accumulator: Liverpool, Chelsea, Norwich, Charlton, Derby, Middlesbrough, Watford, Halifax, Bury, and Burton all to win.

Throw two quid in the air and hope to return with nine fifty pound notes!

Away from the speculative bets, Dundee United are superb odds to beat Kilmarnock tonight: you can get as good as 6/5 from Betfred.

Just for reference, United are top of the league, have beaten Kilmarnock in all of their last five games (stretching back to January last year), and have won three out of four games on their travels in the league thus far (losing only to Celtic).

It is weighty single bets that frighten bookmakers, so make sure you give them a hefty clout this evening by backing Dundee United.

[Duty281]

Oh dear, not my night!

[mystiroakey]

Ok

palace win
stoke draw

double.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Watford and Peterborough both above evens to win at home

Fancy that

[CFCNick]

Home team 6 fold

Bayern, Leverkusen, Liverpool, Derby, Swansea, Bradford.

£5 returns £56.

[CFCNick]

BTTS

Hull-Palace
Leicester-Burnley
Norwich-Rotherham
Wolves-Wigan
Fleetwood-Port Vale
Valencia-Atletico

£3 returns £83.

[westisbest]

Did Swansea, Accrington, Luton & MK Dons.

£323 if Swansea had won.

Also did goals goals, all teams i did to score scored, except for Tranmere, if they had scored, would have won £93.

Closest i have been so far this season.

[Duty281]

A pound on:

Chelsea to win the Champions League this season
England to win the next Rugby Union World Cup
Phil Taylor to win the next World Championship of Darts
Judd Trump to win the next World Snooker Championship
Andy Murray to win Wimbledon 2015
England to win the Ashes 2015

*Shrugs Shoulders* Its more fun than a scratch card! And its a better rate of interest than an ISA!

I should win (read: probably will not) a shade over eight and a half thousand.

[The Special Juan]

Only one of those will happen.... Cough.




I bet on Burnley not to score yesterday. Drat.

[Duty281]

Oh OK then, I have bet a more realistic twenty quid that Chelsea will win the Premier League (they already have, really!), the FA Cup (of which they have a great record in) and the Champions League (because Mourinho is a master).

Odds of 80/1 were delightful!

[Duty281]

Odds as good as 4/7 for England U21s to beat Croatia U21s at home tonight.

Those are absolutely wonderful odds; I were expecting something in the region of 1/3.

I just hope this Friday is my night, unlike last week!

It is good for a lump on!

[mystiroakey]

not sure if thats a lump on bet duty.

go small on scotland and poland v germany draw double.

Thats my pick of the day

thats not a bad bet

[westisbest]

Cant see them winning all 3.

Down the bookies tomorrow morning.

[compelling and rich]

cant see the treble, if there running into latter stages of champions league the fa cup will take a back burner. think people forget but when we won the treble it was a weakened team that beat arsenal in the semi final. its just that we had a great squad.

[mystiroakey]

Its not about what you see its about the odds.

You could potentially cash out at a much lower odd at a later stage.

[compelling and rich]

i doubt they start cashing out till they have won at least one of them, of which the only chance is if they walk away with the prem. i can see them winning it but not by any record margins i don't think. think city will be with them for a while

[Duty281]

not sure if thats a lump on bet duty.

go small on scotland and poland v germany draw double.

Thats my pick of the day

Ah might be right: England dominant but one down at half-time.

[mystiroakey]

For me its all about the value of odds.

I am assuming Chelsea are evens and 6/1 for the pl and cl respectively. That's 12/1 on the double. I think 7/1 on the fa lumped in is good value.

[mystiroakey]

Just checked the odds.Chelsea are 1/2 for the pl. And yep 6/1 on the cl

80/1 is brilliant value.

[Hibbz]

Actually mysti that would be 13/1 as a double. Man I've missed having the time to correct your errors dude.

I agree that in pure mathematics terms 80/1 represents reasonable value but as compelling points out, the better they do in the champions league the less likely they are to win the FA Cup.

i had chelsea at the start of the season at 5/1- thats good odds for you

[compelling and rich]

i had a lucky 15 each way at the start of the season of chelsea to win the prem, derby to win the champ, real madrid to win the champions league and unfortunately sheff united to win league 1.

chelsea look good, derby and real lots to do but should be in the mix and sheffield united will need a surge.

The second time you mean... I was actually going to update my post before your correction . but I couldn't be botherd.anyway as said stop thinking about what you think will happen. Only think value. It represents great value.

6/1 plus 1/2 plus I suppose  another 6/1 on the fa cup. As a multiple would represent 62/1

So anyone getting 80/1 is getting good value.
And every single cup game they win there odds will fall.

Even back then that's good value.

Hibbz BTW feel free to correct my spelling on the last post..

Are you about to correct this one too? As a multiple it's 73.5/1. Can I be your bookmaker please?

[mystiroakey]

Redo your maths.

You are wrong.

Stake of 10 pounds

Return 70 at 6/1

70 times 1.5 = 105

105 * 6 = 630

= 62/1

[mystiroakey]

And yes you can be my bookmaker

[mystiroakey]

actually no you cant - you are right-

i forget to re add the other stake..(10.5)

bang on again- you wont get me again though- betting pro

[Hibbz]

70 times 1.5 = 105

105 * 6 = 630

= 62/1

£105 @ 6/1 returns £735 so 73.5/1.

Mug punter x

[mystiroakey]

actually its 72.5/1

so nah nah

[Hibbz]

True dat.

[mystiroakey]

Well I won a minor battle.


Duty did you lump on the under 21 game.

I didn't realise the strengh of our team. They came back well second half.

[Duty281]

I lumped seventy quid.

Which meant I were a bit nervous for the penalty! Despite Owen Hargreaves' observations (which included him saying Croatia were controlling possession when England had 70% of it!), I thought Croatia created bugger all for the entirety of the ninety minutes.

England should have won by more.

[mystiroakey]

I only saw the second half. And yeah we bossed the game(that half anyway) Good to see so many pl regulars in there.

[westisbest]

Wooooooo.

My first win of the season.
£83.33

All teams to score.

colchester v fleetwood
northampton v burton
wimbledon v bury
morecambe v wycombe
shrewsbury v cheltenham.

[CFCNick]

Wrexham not scoring let me down for £77

[Duty281]

Wales or draw/Israel win/Norway or draw/Holland or draw/Italy win/Turkey or draw/Croatia or draw.

All lumped into an accumulator that, upon victory, will double your money.

[Duty281]

I love the double chance market almost as much as I love looking in the mirror, but it appears that on this occasion the Dutch have let me down.

Damn and blast.

[mystiroakey]

1 pound down today

The draw with Belgium , win on Norway and wales got my money back. Holland and turkey let me down.

[Duty281]

Let us try again, then:

Portugal or draw/Georgia win/Germany win/Greece or draw/Poland or draw/Serbia or draw/Switzerland to be leading at HT and win at FT.
 
That will (hopefully!) treble my money.

Oh and went for a speculative Yankee on the HT/FT market as well:

Germany/Germany
Georgia/Georgia
Draw/Greece
Draw/Poland

[mystiroakey]

Just a simple bet for me at under evens.

Hungary and France to win at 1.87

[Duty281]

11/10 on a draw for the U21s game on the 'England win no bet' market.

Pleasing odds, as I can only see a narrow England win or a draw happening in this second leg game.

[mystiroakey]

its not bad tbh.

I would go straight on the draw though- Is that game on tonight?

[Duty281]

Yeah kicks off in about five minutes.

[Duty281]

ATTENTION!

I do believe Ladbrokes have made a slight error with their odds. They are offering a four-fold accumulator of Granada, PSG, Rotherham, and Aberdeen to win at odds of 175/1 in their daily bet bundles.

For reference, the odds on each of those happening individually are: 5/4, 4/11, 6/5, and 7/5 respectively.

Either it is a mistake or a most generous offer. Worth a couple of quid either way.

[mystiroakey]

huge mistake- thats only about 44/1

[westisbest]

Off down coral after work.
