New customers registering at 888sport.com can get odds of 3/1 on Arsenal winning tonight. Returns paid in cash. Max stake is a tenner, but I've gone for it anyway.

Fucking Celtic losing last night cost me a six team acca last night for 75 quid.

[Baddar]

What were their odds? They're usually so terrible that I don't even bother with the risk of adding them.

[Colly]

1/5 on Hills, I always steer clear.

[Baddar]

Ouch.

[Thrilla]

Need goals from Birmingham (@Derby), Leyton Orient (@Peterborough) MK Dons and Preston (against each other) to complete a six game BTTS for £155.48 (£5 stake)

and

Need goals in the Wigan/Leeds and Swindon/Notts County game to complete another six game BTTS for £204.17 (£5 stake)

So, lets continue all these goals today, eh?

[9 to 5]

My treble has Derby and Rochdale winning, and Bury drawing. Less said about my 2.5 goals and over coupon the better so far.

[Thrilla]

Really? There are goals all over the shop it seems.

[9 to 5]

I have got 2 goals from the 12 I need. The only plus with these sort of coupons is you are in it to the end and a last minute goal can only be good news.

[Thrilla]

Yeah, that's why I always a few BTTS bets, even if a team is six down, if they get a consolation goal that is all I need to care about.

Derby is a risky shout, I have that as a draw on my Super6, Birmingham are in decent nick at the minute.

[Thrilla]

Well, that shows what I know >_>

[Thrilla]

I was right all along >_>

[9 to 5]

Bollocks.

Edit - Bury had fucked me already.

[Thrilla]

I won £13, so £12 down overall. Annoyingly close to raking in nearly £400 though.

I'll put this in here rather than the Cheltenham one. Mum working at the local petrol station has a horse box come in and watches the horses while the driver pops to the loo and phones me at work asking if there was any racing Huntingdon today. Based on a chance encounter leading to her telling me to put a couple of quid on all of Jonjo O'Neills runners, she's now looking at a decent win on a treble now... Don't know why I bother looking at form!

£300 based on a chance encounter at work.... She's rather pleased with herself!

Spurs, Arsenal, Sheff Utd, Southampton and Cardiff currently coming in for me at just short if 12/1.

Had a win and BTTS double on Norwich and Huddersfield, Norwich 3-1 up and Huddersfield are one down but have missed 2 penalties. Bloody dog botherers.

Less said about by BTTS bet the better. Edit: ooh Barnsley equaliser will help though. Just need Swansea and Villa to each score as well as Blackburn and Wednesday.

[Matt]

Can't be bothered starting a new thread for the national but who we all backing?

I've gone for The Druids Nephew, Balthazar King and Bob Ford as an outside bet.

[MDK]

What is a good horse to bet on? I know absolutely nothing about horses.

[9 to 5]

A brown one.

[Lineker]

Four legs is normally a good start.
