There are certain teams that will struggle this season, like Palace away from home, they wont win many on their travels.
Geoff Boycott style betting could be the way. If in doubt don't have a bet. Steady does it, i'm in no rush.
Liverpool made my money that i lost yesterday.
Everton should do Newcastle tomorrow but I think i'll keep my money in my pocket.

There's one thing for sure by the time my time on earth comes around I'll be better off through gambling at the bookies than you, never used um

Backed Liverpool before the game at Corals price 8/11.
1/5 must have been in running price.
Just backed Everton at 1/40 whilst 2-0 up !!!

Checked after game on bet365 for liverpool odds.
Don`t see the point of a bet like that, 1-40, what was your stake.
But you had a twitchy sphincter by the end of the game.

i had £34.95 in my account so put on £4.95. Won a massive 12 pence. I know it was a bit pointless, but it prove's a point. If you have the fund's you can beat the bookies.
Some punter somewhere could have put £40000 on and won £1000.
Going back to the Liverpool price, it would have fluctuated all the time during the match and at some stage, you would only be able to bet on the draw or Sunderland.
It's all about timing.

That`s OK until the big comeback costs that punter £40,000. Evertons comeback from 4-2 down against Man U springs to mind.

i backed Ipswich last night when they were 3-1 up, they got a lead of 4-1 and the game ended 4-4. My previous few win's up in smoke. Not to worry PSG tonight...

I think i need to do less bet's Jaysay, i need to do one big bet and then the return's will pay for my future bets. That is as long as my bet come's up !!!

cashman · 02-10-2013, 21:21

Nothing more needs saying I think, except - Football betting a mugs game? Yes it is.

Thank's for everyone's concern's, i do have my gambling under control. One bloke i work with, his son has recently joined the army, stationed at Catterick. Being in the army it's 'hard' spending your wage's, so he regularly put's £30 bet's on football accumulator's. He won £600+ a couple of week's ago. His dad was telling everyone at work. He seemed proud of his lad. If that was my lad, i would be telling him to leave his earning's in the bank. One thing about joining the service's is that you can put a nest egg away for the future. People work hard for their wage's, and can spend it however they please, but this lad has got it so wrong, will he learn I wonder...

My step daughter is in the army, and while in Afhan, there were lots of lads blowing their money on gambling sites (nothing else to do, and money burning a hole in their pockets). The army tried to stop this by banning gambling sites on the camps internet access, but with new ones popping up all the time they couldn`t keep up. She came home with six months wages + tour bonus, others came home with nothing in the bank.

If you give £1 to the bookies its a £1 too much a fool and his money are son parted

Received 2 free £5 bets from Paddy Power on my mobile, did an 'obvious' double backing Arsenal and Chelsea, the other £5 which i received in the shop went on Villa to draw with Spurs.
So i am up £7.69 thanks to Paddy Powers generosity.
I've now won a massive £9.69 on Paddy Power free bets LOL

stetrovers · 27-10-2013, 16:09

can't believe it, but Paddy Power sent me another 2 FREE £5 BETS.
Went down to the shop on Friday, where another bloke also received the same offer. He threw his away with SILLY 4 FOLD. Whereas I kept it simple, having a Fiver on Arsenal 4/11 at Palace and the other FIVER on Leicester 4/6 at home to Bournemouth.
Those 2 wins have gone into my very appreciative On Line Account.
I also had a little bet on Arsenal on my on line account.
SLOWLY BUT SURELY
