[9 to 5]

Signed up to Coral on the promise of a new customer only offer of Argentina to beat Bosnia at 4/1. Couldn't resist that action.

Hope you all lumped on!

Ghana @ 2.50, $25 to return $62.50

Ghana @ 2.50, $25 to return $62.50

Ouch.

Only bet I had yesterday was doubling my money on Germany, which brought me back to breaking even for the tournament so far.

Yeah unfortunately I slept through the Germany game this morning, hadn't bet much at all this past weekend as I was busy.

Lost two baseball plays by 1 runs tonight as well, oh well. It happens.

[TCO]

Did a few bets today, first of the world cup!

€5 on Hazard anytime and Belgium win & Neymar anytime and Brazil win double

€10 on Belgium, Brazil and Russia treble

€10 Portugal, Bonia, England, Spain and Belgium all to qualify for the knockouts

[Baddar]

Brazil 2-0 or 3-0 sees me win money tonight.

Had a Belgium/Brazil -1 double earlier but that's fucked already.

[DavidMarrio]

Honduras, Iran and Greece to not score and Muller to be German top scorer 66/1.

Yes I made a panic bet after Costa has been shit for Spain. Altidore done his hamstring in and a lack of faith in players for my 4 fold top goalscorers.

[Chael P. Sonnen]

Gervinho and James Rodriguez to score at any time tonight.

Ivory Coast, England, France, Japan and Argies to win.

[Colly]

Time for my English league winners lucky 15. Going for Chelsea and Derby (Shteve!), weighing up my leagues 1 and 2.

[Thrilla]

Lumped £20 e/w on Blackburn to win the league, pays out on 1, 2, 3.

[Colly]

Leyton Orient (so I can blame Myke) and an outside bet on Stevenage. Each way, £7.50 altogether, was about £1200 back until I clicked each way when it gave up working it out, so lots. Keeps things interesting.

[MDK]

I'm not sure we are going to piss the league as I imagine but I'm sure we're gonna be up there. Bit nervous, to be honest. When I look at the squad it looks strong in almost every position especially if McAnuff is going to play on the wing. McAnuff and Cox on the wings? Oh boy, that is tasty.

[Colly]

3rd would be fine to be honest. Chelsea are way favourites for the Premier League at 15/8, all the others are way open, lowest odds on all of them are 8/1.

[MDK]

Stick a quid on the O's to win tomorrow by 2 goals. I can feel it in my water.

[Benji]

David Nugent is 500/1 for Prem top scorer. Totally sticking a cheeky quid on that

[Baddar]

New season!

Ok, the PL started last week but there was no point posting a thread. Had a £2 acca that died after the very first match. Can you guess which?

Got a few 7 team accumulators on today, plus a BTTS bet. Only included United in one of them.

I'll put any considerable winnings over the next few weeks towards my Ryder Cup bets next month.

[Asuka's Gonna Kill You]

Been in shit form, loss after loss and usually by just one team in an acca. Midweek it was Lyon who fucked me over, somehow losing to the mighty Astra.

Contemplating whether to stick some money on today's games or whether to go outside and throw it down the drain instead.

[Cole]

Have a free in play bet at Bet365 if I bet before the man city/liverpool game, so probably going to stake something before the match Monday.

[9 to 5]

Shamelessly stolen from elsewhere, I think this could be a good game for us gamblers and the low stakes won't send anyone to the poor house.

Here are the rules:

1) £2 Initial Stake
2) Minimum odds of 1/1 (evens)

3) Doubles are allowed, combined odds must be over 1/1 (evens)

4) Bets will take place on Friday to Sunday, and then Monday to Thursday
5) Thread ends when everyone who started in the first round is knocked out
6) You can only have one go, so choose wisely

Please post your bets in the following format:

Selection:
Stake:
Odds:
Returns:

Round 1 will start at 11:59PM Friday, bets can be placed on any event that is listed on the oddschecker.com website and starts between midnight on Friday and 11.59PM on Sunday night.

Anyone up for it?

Season 1 Winner - 9 to 5

Season 2 Winner - Stok

Sure, no way I'll get from £2 to £1000 but it'll be a laugh.
