You always get let downs but football is sometimes like the horses! You do get form sides who go on a bit of a run and its worth looking out for. Blackpool seem to be doing OK at the moment as are Morecombe. Colchester were good at home last season too. I prefer to steer clear of the Premiership though and away teams. I must admit I`ll break away from the norm if I cant see a good bet with a home side but its probably best to go into the lower leagues that are a bit more predictable than the Premiership. BTW, yeah its horrible when you lose alright and my bets arent always as big as yesterdays. I am just braver because I am on a winning run so far this season but if the next one goes down i`ll bet less. BTW Ive backed one horse today for £40 at 2s. To The Dance, 210 at Lingfield. A mate said it was fancied yesterday and it must have potential to start as favourite in a race where its running for the first time. Its a rubbish class 6 race so wouldn't have to be a world beater to beat these but I`d tread cautiously as we don't know how it will respond to actually running on a course for the first time.

mate most of us are or have been. I dont know if you remember but bookies never used to allow you to bet on singles in football, it was always 3 teams I think or more. Then they clicked that people would back singles and then took it a step further by allowing the greedy ones amongst us to even bet on the outcome of a game and put half-time odds as well as full time to get us to bet on 45 min games FFS! They then try and tempt us to follow there odds for accumulators at the top of there slips with promises of fantastic odds on 6 draws or 10 home wins when they fully know that one or two selections too many is usually enough to see a winning betting slip turn into a loser!! (How many time shave we been one team short of a big win??!). Its basically like those betting terminals in the bookies where you can play roulette, dogs, bingo, greyhounds and the rest of the sports and games that can be thought of. Even penalty shoot-outs FFS! They know that the reckless gambler within us wont be able to say no as we search for the big win and they play on it. Its definitely best to pick and choose the right time to have a bet and dont always try for the 10 team accies but maybe save a few quid and wait to put a bigger bet on one result within that betting slip of about 60 games where you think is a banker!

Dont look like that mate because 99% of gamblers are reckless!! I am still not a fully reformed sensible gambler as I still sometimes have off days if at home and bored and would have the TV on playing the racing channels, the PC on with William Hill radio in full blast for greyhounds and would be betting like a madman but it doesn't happen that often, especially since I stopped having a regular income as a bloomin retail manager! This own business stuff and gambling is doing nothing for my health thats for sure! Its not a great feeling knowing that you have to find a certain amount a month to break even before actually making money! It may be dodgy on the heart at times but I cant be working for those retail knobs again! Gambling is the way forward, you can bet your mortgage on that.

Clever selective football betting is the way forward . In the bad old days I used to bet on everything with little research and thats the type of punters that the bookies know feed money into there system. Not many have the patience to wait and increase the stakes but thats what I am doing these days even if it means not having a bet for a week or two. Now watch my next 5 selections all go tats up you bok

A primary teacher starts a new job at a school on Merseyside and, trying to make a good impression on her first day, explains to her class that she is a Liverpool fan. She asks her students to raise their hands if they, too, are Liverpool fans. Everyone in the class raises their hand except one little girl. The teacher looks at the girl with surprise and says: "Mary, why didn't you raise your hand?" "Because I'm not a Liverpool fan," she replied. The teacher, still shocked, asks: "Well, if you're not a Liverpool fan, then who are you a fan of?" "I'm a West Ham United fan, and proud of it," Mary replied. The teacher could not believe her ears. "Mary, why are you a Hammers fan?" "Because my mum and dad are from the eastend, and my mum is a West Ham fan and my dad is a West Ham fan, so I'm a West Ham fan too!" "Well," said the teacher, in an annoyed tone, "that's no reason for you to be a West Ham fan. You don't have to be just like your parents all of the time. What if your mum was a prostitute and your dad was a drug addict and car thief, what would you be then?" "Then," Mary smiled, "I'd be a Liverpool fan."

Thanks, it was worth the hair pulling. Typical buggers made me panic as they had a man sent off on the stroke of HT and I thought that was it but the lads rallied to end up winning 3-0 but the shot count was 18-6 is Droylsdens Favour. Get in you beauty. Woooooooooooooooo!!

100th minute or whatever it was! Unlucky mate. Im doing something unusual tonight and thats backing a team away from home and not within the football league . Ive put £330 to win £300 with Corals on Stevenage to beat Droylsden in the conference or whatever its called. Droyslden are shite with 2 darws and 4 losses whilst Stevenage are flying, 3rd I think with 4 wins and there last couple of games have seen the opponents get the MOM awards. It looks well over-priced but that may be because they are playing away from home but I`ll give it ago. I can always sell the PC if they lose or draw.

I hate getting let down by one result, especially if you get done late on. I had a look at yesterdays footy but didn't fancy much so just went on to the William Hill site and tried my luck on the Saturday coupon which also has European Leagues. I didn't know what I was doing but just looked at the league tables and odds to pick 6 sides sticking to picking home teams and ended up going for.. WBA V Barnsley (England) Lyon V Le Mans (France) Valenciennes V Metz (France) Genk V Westerlo (Belgium) Wisla Krakow V Lech Poznan (Poland) Osijek V Inter Zapresic (Croatia) It was a £20 acc bet and all won with the exception of Valenciennes who were 3rd in the French League having won there last 4 games and they were held to a 0-0 draw by Metz, bottom if the league and one point in 6 games FFS!! Barstewards!! BTW, Well Done Northern Fox

My bets are going tats up . Wolves and St Mirren losing 0-1 at home, Gretna now 1-1 also after losing and the Champ Clubs Brum and Charlton both two up. Kisnorbo didnt score first and we are getting dicked by Forest whilst players collapse. Why I didnt just go out tonight nobody knows!

Yeah all the info that may help will be welcomed mate so please send it! Home wins is usually the best way to win despite the shite odds but there are so many games to choose from in Britain and abroad that we shouldn't be panicking and going for bigger odds away sides. I mean lets face it, even the shite teams win plenty at home and draw a fair few too! Anyway, the league cup isnt a betting event for me usually but here goes....

Good Luck mate. I also backed Kisnorbo first scorer at 28s for a tenner. Crazy price but then again it may be shite if he doesn't play

A small bet for midweek. £25 at combined odds of 3/1 for a total return of just over £100. I almost know this wont come in because these are the type of games are the ones where the bookies clean up as someone usually is a bet buster or wins but in extra time when the bets void . Still, the plans have been set for today. Im in all night gambling on poker and listening to the footy so it would be wrong not to donate some money to Hills on dodgy League Cup footy. Birmingham V Hereford Birmingham to win @ 1/4 Wolves V Morecambe Wolves to win @ 1/3 Charlton V Stockport Charlton to win @ 4/11 Gretna V Cowdenbeath Gretna to win @ 1/3 St Mirren V East Fife St Mirren to win @ 1/3 Good Luck to all who are having a bet today.

Time flies when your having fun.

Which game?! Anyway, Wolves came through in the end for the banker bet but West Ham let me down for the treble as Villa scraped a win. Whats worse was apparently the Hammers were all over them after they equalized and should and could have won. Still, its a profit of about £90 I think which pays for todays tickets, food and travel to Leicester from London.

I cant believe Broad has left as he is a major talent. God knows how often he`ll end up playing county cricket next season anyway as he emerges with the England team but still, its never nice losing your best players. Still, his dad played for Notts as well didn't he? Maybe that had something to do with his decision??

I cant remember if I have posted this one on here but I may have. I`ll post it anyway At the end of a tiny deserted bar is a huge Scouse bloke – 6 feet 5 inches tall and 350 lbs, proudly wearing his XXXXL Everton replica shirt. He's having a few beers when a short, well-dressed and obviously gay man walks in and sits beside him. After three or four beers, he finally plucks up the courage to say something to the big Liverpudlian. Leaning over, he cups his huge ear: ‘Do you want a blow job?’ he whispers. At this, the massive Merseysider leaps up with fire in his eyes and smacks the man in the face. Knocking him off the stool, he proceeds to beat him all the way out of the bar. Finally, he leaves him, badly bruised in the car park and returns to his seat as if nothing has happened. Amazed, the bartender quickly brings over another beer. ‘I've never seen you react like that,’ he says. ‘Just what did he say to you?’ ‘I'm not sure,’ the big Scouser replies. ‘Something about a job.’

"measly" mate but don't forget my gambling now contributes to my actual yearly earnings now I haven't got a "regular job"! The pressure is on but these are the bets for this weekend, they are all guaranteed. Wolves 4/6 - £225 win - I think Blackpool have been fortunate this season so far and Wolves have a quality attacking line-up who will hammer them. I don`t usually do Premiership in my bets are the usual rules to my gambling is never back a team who is away from home regardless of the odds because the home teams usually get the better of the decisions or Premiership games which are like doing the lottery but I`m going to make an exception. Wolves, Aston Villa (to beat Fulham 5/6) and West Ham (to beat Wigan 5/6) in a win treble for £75. I can bet a little heavier than last week because I am playing with William Hills money and if I show a profit, I usually keep upping the stake until it all goes wrong and I need to arrange a bank loan Good Luck all this weekend....

My knowledge of the local area in Leicester is pi$$poor. It is so bad that a couple of years ago when on a driving ban I almost forced a mate to come up with me and my brother to watch City play and got there early to drive around the old stomping ground (it was when I hardly got to game through work). Anyway, with no SatNav in the car, I decided to give directions on how to get to the Rowlatts Hill/Evington area and we almost ended up in Hinckley. So fudge knows where the airports are!!

Did you see the way I switched it from Aberdeen airport to Heathrow? Thats fantastic knowledge.

John and Jim were a couple of drinking buddies who worked as aircraft mechanics at Heathrow Airport. One day the airport was fogged in and they were stuck in the hangar with nothing to do. John said, 'Man, I wish we had something to drink!' Jim says, 'Hold on a sec, ave you heard you can drink jet fuel an get a buzz? Do you wanna try it?' So they poured themselves a couple of glasses of high octane jet fuel hooch and got completely smashed. The next morning John wakes up and is surprised at how good he feels. In fact he feels GREAT! NO hangover! NO bad side effects. Nothing! Then the phone rings. It's Jim. Jim says, `Hey, how are you feeling today?' John says, 'Smashing! What about you?' Jim says, 'Brand spanking new! Got a hangover?' John says , 'No that jet fuel is just the dogs bollocks! -- no hangover, nothin. We should do this more often` Jim says 'Aye, well there's just the one thing.' 'What's at then?''Have you farted yet?'' Er, - No 'Well, dont, 'cause I'm in fu**in Norway!

Very true! At 1-1 I thought i had a chance with the 2-1 if Liverpool pushed on but they seemed to go in there shell and Cheslki were shite.

Thanks mate. A big over spend in Cyprus recently wasnta wise move but my addiction is going to get me through. Just one more bet. Just one more.
