The Sports Betting thread

My first one went down yesterday because of the Fulham 0-0, but my unlikely one is still going, typically. It's only a 40 quid return, but that's what I'll get if QPR, Palace and Villa win today.

Being offered £9 to cash out now. Would have been nice if Palace were on earlier than QPR to bump it up, as I'm worried Arry's lot will fuck it up against Shef Utd.

[Colly]

Cover the QPR game somehow? You could probably get at least that £9 if they're odds on, plus your bets still running.

[Baddar]

I'd cover QPR then Villa would fuck me over. I'll leave it up to the football gods!

[Gazz]

Made a nice little £17 profit off of UFC 182.

[Baddar]

In my first ever UFC bet (more than 5 years ago), I won £70 from a fiver.

Haven't bet much on it since, but that's because I lost the next few times.

[Baddar]

Get twatted, Arry, you twitchy prick.

[Colly]

Need Chelsea to score for £50. So they won't.

Edit: Yay. Now don't concede.

They just did. >_>

[Colly]

Woo, if it stays like this I might get a return off my wacky Canadian bet too, at which point I'll be very annoyed Man U didn't get a third.

[Colly]

I've gone from a tenner to £100 since Boxing Day which I'm happy with, but I went a bit mental tonight and put a couple of quid on Barca 5-0, 5-1, 6-0, 6-1 etc. Cashed in my 5-0 for a small profit, need at least one more though for a good return. Fun!

[Colly]

Should've cashed in the higher ones with 5 mins to go. Bum.

[Ant]

Apologies if thus question has been asked in this thread before but, in fraction terms, what is the value of evens? Is it 1/1?

[Colly]

Yup.

[Baddar]

I'll have a go at an acca this weekend, but will be sure to message Colly first for some tips.

[Ant]

Cheers Colly

I've jinxed it by being positive here probably. My new thing is those multiple bets things (Lucky 15s etc, but I usually do a 5 teamer) with games with reasonable odds, that way if 3 come off you usually break even, any more and you're in the money. It's pretty conservative, but that's how I roll...

My picks this week (acca 8 fold)

West Brom

Chelsea

Bournemouth

Bolton

Bristol City

Bradford

Burton

Wycombe

[Baddar]

Saw Chelsea at 1/5, so didn't bother even considering them for my acca. Not doing it til later anyway.

[Lineker]

Watch Bournemouth lose. Never bet on a team playing opposition with a freshly appointed new manager!

[Ant]

I have a feeling if anyone will fuck me up it'll be West Brom.

I did it twice..once on normal odds (comes out at £70 back off a £1) and once at enhanced odds (£141 back off a £1)
