Just had a small flutter on this tip!

Sorry mate, really don't know what happened. It should have walked that race, it's a far better horse than the class it was in, but for some reason was nowhere!

I'm on a really bad run of form right now.

this thread is cursed.

1-0 Stevenage worth a shout at the weekend, I guess you'd get around 11's for that one. I'm sticking something on that Saturday...

I. Give. Up.

Who thinks going for a draw against stevenage would be a good bet? I can see us struggling against them.

who thinks my idea of betting is any good?

what i do is this

try and pick 3 draws on a multi bet during the weekend, odds usually are around $33-36 which i then just throw a fiver on. it it comes off you win over $170

i have only tried it for two weeks so cant say ive had much luck so far but for a investment of $5 it pays well without having to tip big upsets

draws are the most difficult thing to pick out though

[Ric Flair]

I lost well over £100 on betting yesterday. I need winners and fast.

I am going to bet like a twat until I can obliterate this bad run of form.

Joint account is going to be hammered, she will love it.

[Uncle Albert]

Not betting on European games no more, anyone seem's to beat anyone or put a up a fight like that Famagusta team.

Having an away's accy at the weekend. Yanited, Ath. Madrid and some other tastey ones.

Be careful Ric. A mate of mine chased the pot of gold and ended up betting (online) like a twat to the tune of £186000.

Lost his wife, kids, business, house, sanity and ultimately 18 months of freedom at one of Her Majesty's Prisons.

Normal, everyday run-of-the-mill bloke. Nobody had any idea, including his wife!

Cuts a very sad figure nowadays.

Good grief, that is awful. I certainly won't be doing that, I was only joking about betting insanely. Luckily for me, although I have lost a fair few quid at times, i've also had some nice winners so it's all relative. When I do win, I often put the money aside for future bet's. I just enjoy the thrill of the pound.

3 out of 4 and 2 places at Huntingdon so far and, could be on for big money if this continues. My bet's at Chepstow and Nottingham aren't too good so far though.

Make that 4 out of 5 and 2 places. On for a few hundred quid here at least.

Safe.

[Ric Flair]

£20 on Wayne Rooney to score at any time @ 13/8

[Joe.]

Gone for an under 2.5 goals treble tonight instead.

[Joe.]

Probably even more.

Yup, seen 14/1 on Betfred.

[Ric Flair]

Can anyone help me work out what i've won as I cannot get on to the betting sites to use the calculators and my mobile phone has died to ring up my account.

Basically i've had 4 winners at Huntingdon with odds of 9/2, 8/11, 8/1 and 4/5 (pissed off as that horse drifted to 6/4) anyway I had doubles, trebles and four folds (plus all the rest, but only 4 won). The stake was £75p per bet.

Cheers

Is it the same calculation as for a Yankee? Is that 75p per bet?

[Wycombe Fox]

If the calculation is the same as for a Yankee then I get it to £77.06 for your 6 doubles, £165.70 for your 4 trebles and £115.51 for your fourfold making a total of £358.27.
