£10 treble came in at the weekend. £40 boys returned. Ta.

If you had DJ first goal, no wonder!

Your attempt's at jokes are shit.

[maddog]

Yes

Torres has just scored which means Sky Bet are set to lose a 6 figure sum.

Finally the bookies lose out for a change woooooo hooooooo.

The funny thing is this is about the only time the bookies will lose this much, because if anyone backs a ridiculous amount of money on something, the bookies can just match that bet themselves and never lose money.

But of course theyd never make money then so probably only to it to remove MASSIVE risks.

Mate you do realise that is posted by sky. They are just trying to market themselves and attract potential gamblers.

Bookies never lose

I know but at least it's a few hundred grand out of sky bets HUGE profits thanks to Torres tonight

Which they've already made/won back today through various other bets and Liverpool's defeat tonight.

Maybe so but bookies don't advertise there losses and not on there own website. They would have lost a bit on that particular bet but I bet they made more in total from the game with the amount of punters who backed Liverpool.

There just trying to give off the impression that they lose money and people should bet with them. It's very clever marketing.

Spot on

I was going to say who cares if Torres scored, huge amounts of punters money will have been lost with Liverpool's defeat. Including mine.

If Leeds, Wednesday, QPR, Birmingham, Bolton, Wolves, Barnsley and Atheltico Madrid win, I'll be a happy man.

I hope not, i've got £40 on Reading!

Are you mad , risking that much on a team so woefully out of form, I'd be very worried if I were you. Yes Barnsley are technically worse but if they play like they did against us then you could well be in trouble. Plus I got Barnsley in an accy so you can't win.

Lucky boy - 90th min penalty winner!

[Samilktray]

Lost all my love for Wednesday tonight.

Lost all my love for Wednesday tonight.

Your Wolves bet wouldn't have gone through as well. Its based on 90 minutes only.

Lesson learnt. Not betting on Carling Cup again.

A man that speaks sense. I leave it well alone.

I learnt not to bet on the Carling Cup last year when Chelsea failed to beat Burnley that meant I missed out on something like £54, livid.
