Am I going blind or has the Green Jersey market disappeared off Oddschecker? Was gonna check the price of Cavendish.

Anyone know who won between New South Wales and Queensland today in the rugby?

Hightown Phil · « **Reply #5 on:** June 24, 2009, 01:44:25 pm »

Queensland 24-14. They were 18-0 up, NSW got it back to 18-14 and then dropped the ball on their 1 goalline with 2 minutes left to let the Maroons put one in under the posts. Nearly did Queensland - 4 which is a bit of an arse.

Payday tomorrow, shame there's no footy or decent racing. GO ED DEL PORTO LA.

CheshireDave · « **Reply #6 on:** June 24, 2009, 01:48:22 pm »

Cheers Phil.

Was on them, which kind of makes up for the shambolic tennis bets I have running, of which I think I will lose every one, bar a couple of miracles.

Can't believe I haven't put a bet on in months now, it's taken some serious will power!

Might get better value on him winning 4 or more stages as I think Freire might still have a bit too much for him for the Green jersey.

tenner on both villa and torres for first goal tonight easy £20/£25

I'm on that, slightly higher stakes

JamieB · « **Reply #12 on:** June 24, 2009, 04:32:32 pm »

just threw a quid on Spain to win first half and draw second at 22/1. Thought why not.

So is someone offereing that as a single bet or you're putting two bets on for FGS?

I think you'd be better off sticking money on each of them anytime, those two have got all of Spain's goals in them really, they should both register.

Dr Cornwallis · « **Reply #14 on:** June 24, 2009, 05:00:14 pm »

In terms of who has got the most 'first goals' in international games, Nando has hit the opener in 7 games whereas Dave Villa has hit the opening goal in 12 games.

Villa is currently trading at 4.33 to be FGS or you can get 4.0 for him to score 2 goals or more, not sure which is the best option here but I'm contemplating £100 on it.

Talking of "he's made it 1-0 to spain"...
Xavi's record is fucking amazing. He's scored 8 goals for his country and 6 of those have been the opening goal of the game!
Xabi Alonso has hit 2 opening goals in 4 overall goals for his country.
Joan Capdevilla is no slouch either, 4 goals oveall for his country and 3 of them have been openers.
Pique is the only other player to have opened the scoring of a game.

-Sad Fuck- · « **Reply #15 on:** June 24, 2009, 05:42:02 pm »

Can't be arsed with goalscorers, no value with Nando and Villa. I think one of the two will almost certainly score tonight, so you could sort of call it a coin flip.

Anyway, I'm just on Spain -1.5 tonight, might get on Spain HT if I get lucky with the tennis as well.

Got no bets to report, just getting this thread onto my new replies.

Nice one, was just curious about the price because I nearly took 7/5 a couple of months back.

The 'Same rider to win both time trials' interested me until I realised only one firm were out with it. The one i work for. Great.

markay_stinkay · « **Reply #18 on:** June 24, 2009, 06:55:04 pm »

Overs seems decent at just over evens, not that i'll be backing it.

And Could He Play · « **Reply #19 on:** June 24, 2009, 07:04:27 pm »

£50 Singles on each Torres & Villa to score first. 10/3's.

Quote from: Hightown Phil on June 24, 2009, 01:44:25 pm

Jesus.

I'll put this in a step by step guide.

Torres is 10/3, Villa is 10/3. That makes it a 46% chance of either of them scoring first, which roughly equates to a 6/5 chance.

Say you wanted £10 on at 6/5 on the pair of them, what you do, you add them both to your betting slip, and place £5 on Torres and £5 on Villa.

The time is wrong because i can't quote the post, as the threads locked, but fuck me i laughed

Villa LGS 3-0 £2.50
Torres FGS 3-0 tonight £2.50

OOT'erConnie · « **Reply #21 on:** June 24, 2009, 07:13:05 pm »

Anywhere online I could back Torres and Villa to score anytime and spain to win 3-0 in an acca? Bet365 won't allow it and im presuming the rest wont..

-Sad Fuck- · « **Reply #22 on:** June 24, 2009, 07:18:52 pm »

I don't know anyone that allows anytime in a scorecast, sadly.

markay_stinkay · « **Reply #23 on:** June 24, 2009, 07:32:35 pm »

FERNANDO Torres/Villa FG. Spain 2-0.

Am I able to do it in a convential bookies shop? I understand online would be more likely to tell you to do one, due to lack of common sense?

Get in, should bring Spain out now so more goals.

markay_stinkay · « **Reply #28 on:** June 24, 2009, 07:59:29 pm »

Fuck off ref, that was a foul on Ramos on the right wing.

Big lump on Spain it is then.

JamieB · « **Reply #29 on:** June 24, 2009, 08:02:09 pm »

Oh fuck off. Need Sp win inside 90 mins. Vamos vamos

SalisburyRed · « **Reply #30 on:** June 24, 2009, 08:05:11 pm »

Right, backing Spain now at 11/10.

JamieB · « **Reply #31 on:** June 24, 2009, 08:15:24 pm »

Spain look terrible

JoeK · « **Reply #32 on:** June 24, 2009, 08:25:02 pm »

£50 Spain and £10 on 3-1

JamieB · « **Reply #33 on:** June 24, 2009, 08:47:29 pm »

I'm getting seriously worried now

markay_stinkay · « **Reply #34 on:** June 24, 2009, 08:48:51 pm »

Hopefully, as Pearce says, the USA tiredness will kick in fairly soon.

guest · « **Reply #35 on:** June 24, 2009, 08:51:12 pm »

I'm on Torres next goal with my free bet at 3/1. He is looking dangerous.

SalisburyRed · « **Reply #36 on:** June 24, 2009, 09:01:48 pm »

Ramos can fuck right off. He's been shit going forward all night, and now he's trying to take a fucking first touch there?! Jesus wept.
