Yeah crap bet really Gianni as the result proves. I read somewhere that he was a man on the up. I know his French Open QF was on the clay but just had a feeling against the wildcard Blake.

Anyhow, good old Feds bailed me out in straight sets and I still have my £40 ready for another stage 3 bet today.

Any Tennis tips mate?

You're too busy picking 175/1 winners on the golf anyway! That double should come in as long as Fish isn't knackered from last week.

Christ. Mardy made short work of the Russian.

Nice work Wardides. I just need Gasquet not to screw me over.

Indeed that first set was very impressive.

Torn for my next one. I've outlined 3 seperate bets and have until 7ish to decide. Here's the 3 I' looking at.

An Over 1.5 goals treble again with the following teams.
Milwall v P'Boro
Cardiff v Brighton
OB v Villarreal
Evens

or

Over 2.5 in OB v Villarreal
19/20

or

Wisla Kakow v APOEL

5/4

More inclined with the first one, but fancy goals in that Villarreal game.

wardides · « **Reply #403 on:** August 17, 2011, 06:33:09 pm »

Eh right. Dont ask.

Stage 3

Under 13 corners in Blackpool V Derby @ 1/2
Over 1.5 goals in Milwall v P'Boro 1/5
Over 1.5 goals in OB v Villarreal 2/7

€39.01, returns roughly €50 quid.

Goals are straightforward enough i guess, Blackpool and Derby corner bet is a strange one I know. I'm not even sure why. Jesus.

wardides · « **Reply #404 on:** August 17, 2011, 09:08:30 pm »

In the space of 2 Minutes Diego Lopez and whatever c*nt of a man is in net for OB have made two very very good saves. There wasnt one corner in the first half of Blackpool game, and over 1.5 is in the Milwall game. Bollocks.

wardides · « **Reply #405 on:** August 17, 2011, 09:26:11 pm »

OB go one nil up. Jesus I'm going to lose out by a bloody goal.

£173.64 after stage 4

Just had the 13.64 on young boys DNB at HT.

See how that goes but have the 160 at least ready for stage 5.

choi · « **Reply #415 on:** August 18, 2011, 10:14:35 pm »

Might give this a proper go this weekend. One question though, are you doing this with one bookies? It'd be a hassle to deposit/withdraw from each account but at the same time you'd find much better odds with different bookies wouldn't you?

Well in Pete. Going to stick with the Tennis? Dutch second league tomorrow night is always decent for goals, just as a heads up. Best of luck.

Buck Pete · « **Reply #417 on:** August 18, 2011, 10:25:21 pm »

Cheers Wardides lad. May stick with the tennis but it's getting tricky now as the seeds meet each other. Nearly did Rafa straight sets earlier - phew!! So may well do a over 1.5 double/treble.

Might actually try stage 5 in two 80 quid golf bets.

Choi - I started with Stan James so sticking with them unless the odds on a bet are well bigger elsewhere then I will cash out a deposit again.

Buck Pete · « **Reply #418 on:** August 19, 2011, 12:02:44 pm »

Cashed out £173.64 from Stan James as my stage 5 bets are much better prices elsewhere.

Thought long and hard about this and reckon I have found good value. Both stage 5 bets are 3 balls today in the US Golf tourney.

£40 on Tim Herron at 3-1
£60 on Cabrera at 13/8

Both bets return £160 each so potentially my stage 6 target of £320. One winner gets me another shot at stage 5.

If both lose it's still £73 banked and being used for the train fair to London and me match ticket tomorrow

wardides · « **Reply #419 on:** August 19, 2011, 12:24:44 pm »

All the best lad, might give it another go tonight myself.

€10 on an over 2.5 double, Dutch second division.

AGOVV v Zwolle
Top Oss v Almere

Returns €22.

Buck Pete · « **Reply #420 on:** August 19, 2011, 02:46:41 pm »

Cabrera looks too shakey on the shorter holes. E par thu 7 holes

Eagled the Par 5 15th then bogied the Par 3 next. Bloody Atwel was +2 now back to even Par same as Applelby . Not reached the turn yet but I will be lucky to get this first one up.

Stage 1: £10 on United/Tottenham under 3.5 cards @ 6/5 - Won - Bank £22

Wasn't originally planning on this bet being the challenge, but i put it on 'by mistake' and it won so thought i'd make the most of it.

choi · « **Reply #426 on:** August 25, 2011, 10:07:57 pm »

Aftertiming but i couldn't post it in here as i was in a massive rush, and as a result got poor odds as i couldn't withdraw/deposit into a different account.
Stage 2: £22 (+ £2.50 free bet) on Liverpool (-1) vs Exeter @ 4/5 - Won - Bank £44.10

Stage 3 coming up this weekend.

Buck Pete · « **Reply #427 on:** August 26, 2011, 02:04:57 pm »

Nice one Choi keep it going lad.

What happened to Wardides? Dutch 2nd Div tonight for his stage 2 I reckon.

Just won a few quid on the golf so going to have another go at this today.

Buck Pete · « **Reply #428 on:** August 26, 2011, 03:34:41 pm »

Stage 1 - TPS to beat KuPS in the Finish league this afternoon.

Slightly over Evens.

choi · « **Reply #429 on:** August 26, 2011, 03:38:47 pm »

Unsure on the following:
Zwolle/Sparta overs
Helmond/Eindhoven overs
Double @ 2.6

or

Malaga DNB @ 2.62

Will stick £30 which returns just under £80 and will leave me £10 to start again if it loses. Any thoughts? I guess with me being so unsure, that indicates that i'm probably best leaving it until i find a better shout. Couple of other bets i've looked at are Hannover @ 2.3ish and maybe even Papiss Cisse anytime @ 2.63.

Edit:

Stage 3: £34.10 on Zwolle/Sparta overs & Helmond/Eindhoven overs @ 2.6

kitano · « **Reply #430 on:** August 26, 2011, 03:39:48 pm »

Got to 46 from £1.
Will attempt again, failed on a sporting -1.5. 93rd min goal. Sickener.

Buck Pete · « **Reply #431 on:** August 26, 2011, 03:48:12 pm »

Choi - I reckon Wardides has a good point with the Dutch 2nd Division. There are always stacks of goals.

If this Stage 1 Finland bet comes off I'm doing a Dutch 2nd Div Bet for my stage 2. Hell I will probably even do it as another Stage 1 bet when TPS lose in a bit.

wardides · « **Reply #432 on:** August 26, 2011, 06:05:15 pm »

Haha forgot all about this.

Stage 2

Willem II v mVV 8/15
Helmond Sport v Eindhoven 4/6

€22 on, returns €56.

Buck Pete · « **Reply #433 on:** August 26, 2011, 06:33:11 pm »

TPS destroyed KuPS so gone straight onto Stage 2

£21.88 both teams to score double on

Zwolle/Sparta
Helmond/Eindhoven

Returns just over 50 quid.

So upto £44 and now looking at my next bet , Suarez to score & liverpool to win ? Liverpool to keep a clean sheet ?
