[Archived] Football Betting thread - 2011/12

[Hughesy]

Lets get the thread going to see what people are backing and hopefully winning

Go to Skybet and sign up, when signing up, use the code WELCOME - You should get a TOTALLY FREE (no deposit) £10 bet, maybe £20 and some other games depending what offer they allocate to you.

Iv just stuck my free £10 on City to win 3-1 and Dzeko to score 1st @ 45/1

I also had a £5 sky vegas bet so went over to deal or no deal and took the bankers 1st offer of £5.29 for more free money into my account

[ABBEY]

what odds are we for having 0 points at crimbo?

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Everton let me down badly this week....always one folks!

[AllRoverAsia]

When Venky's bought Rovers what odds could they have got for Rovers being relegated witnin 2 seasons?

[Hughesy]

Everton let me down badly this week....always one folks!

Same - they let me down on 2 accumulators yesterday.

Also one away on the goal rush coupon as West Brom scored, when I said they wouldnt!

[J*B]

I didn't get any free bets

You add the 'WELCOME' code when you was signing up?? There should be a link at top of the page that says 'free bets' and it should be in there??

Unless you was already a member?

[Anti-Dingle-Brigade]

Close with that bet Hughesy, Kevin Davies ruined it.

Just sorted it now - You don't actually get the free bet deposited in your bank as cash that cannot be withdrawn like some other online bookies, it comes up in a box when you select your bet allowing you to use it as a coupon. It probably explains that, but I'm trigger happy with selecting "yes, agree, yes" when on websites!

My £10 is on Arsenal to beat Udinese on Wednesday, 21/10, Wenger will be determined to make a point now Fabregas has gone and Nasri is on his way. Hopefully.

[Anti-Dingle-Brigade]

Can't decide whether to put my free £10 on VDV to score tomorrow (£30) or VDV to get a brace (£90).

Or something else.

[alexanders]

Had over 1,5 goals for City yesterday and over 3,5 goals in our game. Kaaaaaching!

Might go with United win by only 1 goal tonight. They always do that against Spurs. Dodgy ref decision in the dying minutes.

[Hughesy]

Check if u got any free other bets like sky Vegas, I had £5, took it over to deal or no deal (instant win games), put the £5 stake on, selected 6 boxes and just took the 1st offer (£5.29), which us now on my betting account.

I then used the £5.29 to back Wolves, Rangers and City to win.....now have £9.40 as both Wolves & Rangers were 2-0 up when I backed them

[Anti-Dingle-Brigade]

I just did the Family Fortunes game and got back £3.50.

Put my tenner on VDV to score tonight. Will give me £30. Was tempted to put a bet on a VDV brace but didn't risk it.

Will be gutted if he gets one.

I got the SkyBet app on my phone last week, it said I would get my free £10 when I deposited £10. So I stuck my £10 in and used £9 on Chelsea to beat Stoke, bad move. Was sitting with £11 at the start of West Brom vs Man Utd but being cautious I only put on £3 for a Utd win.

Had a few flutters during the week but nothing big. Stuck £1 each on Paddy Doherty 9/1 and Kerry Katona 8/1 to win Big Brother.

Everton tanked my treble too this weekend. Thankfully I was watching West Ham/Leeds 50 mins behind real-time on TiVo or else I'd probably have went with West Ham and lost some more.

Then City started and I found the Midas Touch, haha. Took Silva first goal at 9/1 (£1), City to win at 8/11 (£3) and to be over 2.5 goals at 4/5 (£1). Went back on at half time to see if bets had been paid and they had so I stuck another £1 on Dzecko to score next goal at 6/1 and in less than two minutes that came in. Threw another £1 at Tevez when he came on, think he was about 6/1 too but ya can't win 'em all.

Sittin pretty now with £28.45 and looking forward to Man Utd/Spurs tonight but I'll be watching it live and will see who's starting before placing any bets.

[BangkokRover]

FC Inter to win their Finish League game tonight.

[Hughesy]

Tempted......Young to score 1st, United 2-1 - 40/1......should I, shouldnt I!?

[andymcg06]

thats worth a fiver at 40's

[Hughesy]

thats worth a fiver at 40's

Glad I didnt bet on it now - 3-0 as I type.

[Hughesy]

4th in the SPL Dunfermline messed my accumulator tonight - the only one of 12 teams on a 80/1 shot.....and they were playing a mid table division 2 team.

[grizfoot]

Depending on the Rovers line-up tonight there looks a few decent prices about on first goalscorer.

Goodwillie 5/1

Rochina & Formica both 15/2

12 is a lot of team Hughesy I never do more than 4 in a group as that is difficult enough.

[cmb211087]

West Ham messed up my accumulator last night, but I won on Rochina and Goodwillie score anytime, and the match to end with under 4.5 goals (put on after goodwillies goal so great odds) so it's all good.

[Hughesy]

It is a fair few yeah but only small odds for 3 or 4, i like to go 8 or more - bet big, win big!

[mode_m]

I was so close this weekend

Evn @ bla -- Blackburn

Wol @ Asv -- Draw

QPR @ Wig -- Draw

Nor @ Che -- Chelsea

Bol @ Lvp -- Liverpool

Arl @ Mnu -- Manchester United

wager = $5.00

odds = 48

pay = $240.00

4 out of 6 isn't bad. I thought QPR would be better after last weekend and never thought Rovers would lose 3 in 3, especially to a struggling Everton.
