[Archived] Shall We Have A Bet?

whoosh

what does 1.19 £63 mean and 109%

[Hasta]

1.19 is the price. Put £1 on to win £1.19. Basically it's the same as the traditional 1/5

If it's in the blue column then £63 is the amount you can put on at that price. After that it will go down to 1.18

The 109% is the margin of the market. You don't really need to know this.

[ABBEY]

gotchya on the odds i get that but £....63

does that mean 63 is your top stake or 63 is most you can win?

think i may stick with my odd tenner at billy hills hahaaha

[Hasta]

£63 is the biggest amount the you can put on at 1.19. So at 1/5 you'd win £12.60 plus your stake back. However you'd have to pay Betfair £0.63 comission on this don't forget.

The only reason you can back 1.19 is because someone else wants to lay it and they are only prepared to lay £63's worth of cash at 1.19

[ABBEY]

what if someone lays 63 and noone takes it? does someone lose 63

[Hasta]

It would sit in the 'back' column until someone talkes the bet. The money would go out of your account but you could cancel the bet at any time till it's matched.

[ABBEY]

what happens if noone takes your bet and you get online and say the race starts?

its confusing the crap outta me hahaha

When you place the bet you can select to either cancel all bets when the race starts or make the bet continue 'in-running'

You might be better with Billy Hills Abs.

[ABBEY]

i think you may just be right maty.

Barney looks a big price. He didn't like the Premier League format as he travels over from Holland every week but for the UK Open he's based in the UK throughout the tournament. 15/2 on Betfair and will surely trade much shorter later in the comp.

[Grabbi Graeme]

Part at 50/1 is a good shout, like Barney coming from Holland for the Prem League every week, Part's was worse as he travelled to and from Canada every week, feel he will do better in this tournament.

I think the Czech Republic are a good bet to win against Switzerland tommorrow in the opening Euro 2008 game. The Czech's always seem to do well when it comes to major competition group stages and although the Swiss are at home I think the Czech Republic will win this one.

I was thinking that.

Just had a quick glance at Ladbrokes and the Czechs are a massive 9/4 to win. (There may be better odds available elsewhere, haven't checked)

They're a much better side than Switzerland aren't they?

[American Rover12]

Argentina to beat USA Sunday if ya wanna make a buck.. haha

I'll be at that game too.

Yes, I think it's a decent bet too.

As I've mentioned Ive backed them at 25's to win the tournament so if they are to qualify from this group they must really beat the Swiss.

[Hasta]

Well they won and that's a great start to the tournament betting-wise. However they were fairly lucky.

I've backed Portugal - Turkey for a draw in the next game.

[grizfoot]

The Czech weren't exactly convincing but they won in the end, at thoose odds they were just to good to avoid. As you said good start to the tournament on the betting front.

I'm not sure about this next game so I think I'll just sit back, Turkey are a bit of a mix bag don't know what to expect form them. I'll be hoping Turkey win though can't stand Portugal and their collection of greasy 'superstars'.

Ended up with a nice double today, Czechs and Portugal at 7/2.

It's tempting to think the Croatians and Germans will also romp in tomorrow. (19/10 ish)

Having said that, a favourite is bound to slip up sooner or later.

[grizfoot]

I think Poland may sneak a draw against the Germans. I do fancy Croatia to overcome Austria though and at around 10/11 you can't grumble.

[Eddie]

Having had a bad run with a few baseball bets and the Hughes saga I bounced back in style yesterday.

Pepe to score first at 40/1...was the happiest person in the bar (even more so than any Portugal fans).

Portugal and Czechs to both keep clean sheets, Portugal to win and they are also both part of a larger multiplier...hopefully Euro 2008 will continue to be as kind to me.

Phew, Barney's just beat Taylor to move into the semi's. Think I'll cash that bet back in now.

With regards to tonights footy I think Croatia will beat Austria but I don't want to back them. At some point I expect everyone to be commenting on how Croatia are actually ordinary and how disappointing it was that they were way too good for England. Their last 6 results, albeit mostly friendlies, don't inspire much confidence.

Instead I'm backing Roland Linz (12/1) and Dario Srna (15/1) for first goalscorers. There's a good chance both will be penalty takers and we're due a penalty!

[Hasta]

Logic was right, the bet was right. Unfortunately I just worked out the wrong penalty taker!!!
