[Archived] Footy Bets 09-10

[sloth_frattelli]

I contemplated £100 on city last night as they were over 1/2. Bottled it though, but still had tevez first goal which was a good price. Unsure about this week, dont think ill be having a big bet, maybe a few small ones.

I've been doing big bets recently, only had thirty on City last night though.

I started off by putting a £1,000 bet on Spurs to beat Burnley at 1/3 on Saturday which returned £333. I withdrew my original stake and left the winnings in the online account. I then lumped £133 on Sunderland to beat Wolves which bumped the account total to £430. Took £200 out and stuck the £30-odd on City last night so I'm sitting with around £250 in the online account and have already creamed £200 for myself.

Can't believe Arsenal are only 1/5 tonight - this was my banker.

[Cocker]

You have big balls sir. I wouldnt spend 1k on a christmas present for the mrs never mind a football bet.

[tcj_jones]

Not many games I fancied tonight, so put a small accumulator on:

Rubin Kazan - Inter

Debreceni - Lyon

Barnsley - West Brom

at odds of 4.28

Your mad sloth. I know the dingles are easy money but to risk grand to return a profit of £333 is way out of my league.

I know, can't even afford to lose it either that's the worst about it, I'm saving up for a deposit on a mortgage. I realised today as well that although I haven't lost anything the very sight of 'William Hill Online' on my bank statements might be enough to scupper any mortgage applications.

[Hughesy]

£1k bet?! Wow!! BIG RISKS if you cant afford it mate....

Bet for Tonight/ tomorrow:

Arsenal...Sevilla

WBA..Cardiff..Preston..Sheff Utd

Leeds..Bournemouth

Chelsea

75/1

[roverlution]

New to the whole betting scene (recently signed up with Skybet) but thought this might be worth a mention....

Rubin Kazan v Inter -1

Rangers v Sevilla -1

Unirea Urzineci v Stuttgart -1

Odds of over 33-1 on sky bet on a treble. Worth a punt do you reckon?

[mellison24]

Barca

Leeds

Millwall

Norwich

Bournmouth

Rotherham

Lincoln

[MeanGreenMachine]

On a little treble but liverpool, wednesday and boro all to win at a quid get me 11 back.

[Hughesy]

Poor results for me last night. Preston are just inconsistent, West Brom just let you down, and Bournemouth have just hit a brick wall......

[LeftWinger]

Any more tips for tonight?

[G Somerset Rover]

Well what a let down that was. I tuned in to see how my accumulators would go at 7.45 ready for the start of the Champions League matches only to see that Inter had already played and hadn't won! Great start.

And then Leeds go and concede lateish to scupper any chances on my other one.

After a few good weeks for the punters the bookies are raking it in what with odds-on teams slipping up at the weekend and now last night.

[sloth_frattelli]

Toying with a few combinations here;

Man Utd 4/11

Newcastle 8/11

Forest 10/11

A Forest (home to Scunthorpe) and Newcastle (home to QPR) double returns odds of just over 3/1. Debating whether to add Utd to that mix to bump it to over 4/1. All other obvious selections are poor returns - Milan 1/6, Real 1/5, Chelsea (a) 1/5.

[LeftWinger]

Newcastle 8/11

Forest 10/11

A Forest (home to Scunthorpe) and Newcastle (home to QPR) double returns odds of just over 3/1.

I make that just over 2/1 btw.

[sloth_frattelli]

You're right, sorry. I've counted the returned stake.

[unluckymorton]

You're right, sorry. I've counted the returned stake.

Easy mistake to make Sloth. Still, it's not a bad return for a dead cert. I may join you on the short odd's bets tonight!

[Sparky Marky]

Just a little one tonight boys...need to get some money back...

Newcastle

Forest

Utd

Bayern

Porto

Its about 14/1.

[Hughesy]

Newcastle...Forrest...Milan...United...Bordeux...Madrid...Everton

16/1

[G Somerset Rover]

Newcastle...Forrest...Milan...United...Bordeux...Madrid...Everton

16/1

That same bet is under 11/1 at William Hill. What site do you use mate?

[Neil Weaver]

Somerset, get more for your money via one of the odds comparison websites eg Comparison site (others are available)

[Helmshore blue]

Newcastle...Forrest...Milan...United...Bordeux...Madrid...Everton

16/1

Ive gone with this one too. seems a decent bet. Also had a bet on porto, think they are a decent price.

[Sparky Marky]

Newcastle are just shyte....can't rely on them for anything...

[Helmshore blue]

Milan and newcastle let me accumulators down. Still up though, thanks to porto.

[MeanGreenMachine]

Madrid, United, Porto, Bordeux wins along with the bayern draw pocketed me a small win. I could only see a draw in that juve game.
