Well no fair enough the bet, but pretty much the majority of other places would have given you bigger prices, so not sure why you wouldnt take a bigger price.

I've got an account with Skybet and you'd have to have about 4 different accounts on other sites to find the best odds right?

So, Manchester City were evens to beat Spurs.

We're 4/5.

Which one was wrong, cos there's no way both can be right.

Raoul Duke · « **Reply #5202 on:** May 12, 2011, 01:52:24 pm »

Against Spurs:

£10 on Liverpool -1 @ 3.30 with Stan James.
£5 on Liverpool -2 @ 7.00 with Coral.
£3 on Liverpool -3 @ 15.00 with William Hill.
£10 on Rodriguez AGS @ 4.50 with William Hill.

Gone bigger than normal this weekend because I think the odds are excellent and we're going to absolutely hammer Tottenham.

Think Spurs' record at the respective grounds reflects the price, rightly or wrongly.

Yes. Well, I have about ten.

Forest at home in the last four are:

P4
3 games won
1 game drawn
0 lost

13 goals scored
7 conceeded.

Well that's wrong.

Beat Scunthorpe (shite).
Beat Leicester (keeper error).
Beat a Burnley side who had 10 men for an hour, with two late goals.
Lost v Reading.
Drew with Doncaster (shite).
Lost v Hull.
Drew with Preston (shite).

Their current 'form' makes them sound better than they have been. I wouldn't be rushing to back them.

Reading, Huddersfield and Accrington to be promoted

Only looked on Skybet. 36/1

Waterloo Phil · « **Reply #5212 on:** May 12, 2011, 07:38:18 pm »

Had a little interest bet on Swansea @ 9/4

AdamR · « **Reply #5213 on:** May 12, 2011, 07:44:16 pm »

I can see goals tonight
Over 2.5 is 6/5.

Not bad

Was a harsh red so early in the game , just mistimed in my eyes

Waterloo Phil · « **Reply #5216 on:** May 12, 2011, 09:10:14 pm »

Swansea would have twatted these 11 vs 11

We opened up at Evens though, which was probably right for both IMO.

Small bet on Velez Sarsfield Win to Nil @ 6/4

Has come in five times out of the last 6 home games.

Form and Injuries (Tevez, Bale etc) shouldn't be discounted either surely.

Plus the fact it was bigger than 5/6 prior to Tuesday so money has shortened it.

Backed Bolton to win against Sunderland last week fully expecting a Sunderland collapse, ruined my accumulator, cost me about £100, the other four came in.

Sunderland still have no fit players and no strikers and will probably still win. Schizophrenic fuckers, I'm in no way still bitter.

Wolves have improved of late I think. Plus with Wesy Ham playing Wigan on Sunday this is a big opportunity for them against a weakend Sunderland side who have nothing to play for really. I think Wolves will be well up for it.

But much like you I backed Bolton last week against this Weakened Sunderland side and paid the price. Wolves have more to play for than Bolton though, im tempted to back them.

Nah it's done for the season, not suprised after the £2mil+ loss they had on it last weekend.

not really a bet as such, but I'll post this any way and see what you guys think, probably in the wrong place as well but fuck it,

I entered a 'killers football' competition in January, could have been Feb can't really remember. But the aim of the game was that each weekend in the prem you picked a team to win, once you picked that team you couldnt pick them again for the rest of the competition, you had 3 lives, 3 wrong picks and your out, there were 135 entrants at a £10 each, £1350 in the pot, though it's to raise money for the local saturday morning league team so only £500 to the winner, hope that all makes sense

Anyhow, there's only me and 1 guy left, we both have 1 life left each, here are the teams left I have to pick from- B'Burn, B'Pool, Stoke, Sund, WBA, Wes H, Wigan, Wolv

His teams are the same as mine except where I have sunderland he has bolton to pick from.

WHO DO I PICK??

I was thinking sunderland,

I wouldn't touch Sunderland at the moment personally.

Am I missing something with Lille's price in the French Cup Final tomorrow?

17/10 looks generous in 90 minutes.

-Sad Fuck- · « **Reply #5234 on:** May 14, 2011, 05:42:52 am »

HELLO THERE CHILDREN.

Found something I quite like tomorrow, which is Atleti.

I know they blow very hot and cold, but when it comes to the lesser teams in the league, they tend to have little to no problems. Against the bottom half of the league, they've played 9, only failing to win once, against Racing, whilst scoring 22 and conceding 2 (One of which happened to be a Caicedo penalty, so only one from open play).

I think most of you on here are aware Hercules are abysmal away from home. Besides their win at Barca, which I think you'll agree was as big as anomalies come, they've only scored once against top half sides, whilst only avoiding defeat in a 0-0 away to Racing.

I know I'm being captain obvious here, but Atleti will 100% want to go out with a bang. It's possibly Flores' last game, which wouldn't suprise me given his financial restrictions (It's been reported this week Luis Enrique will take over in the summer, and I have a gut feeling Flores' will go to Aston Villa). It's also widely expected Forlan will leave this summer, with Beşiktaş his most likely destination, whilst Aguero could also possibly leave, so these two are obviously going to do their very best to score in their last matches at the Calderon (Same goes for De Gea I guess, although I'm guessing he'll stay if United sign another goalkeeper).

Although on paper, the stats point to a win to nil, I'd never, ever back this team to do so having watched them so much over the last few years, I've seen them cause some rather calamitous errors from lapses in concentration quite a few times, so it's not for me.

However, I think there's value to be had elsewhere.

As far as a banker for a treble/accumulator, they look at first glance, the best 1/3 shot this weekend. HT/FT at 10/11 could be a play, but my most likely bet at the minute is either -1.5 at 7/8, or over 2.5 total goals at 11/8, both with Stan James.

EDIT: Just realised all La Liga games are on Sunday.

No, they're stronger in every single department. Not sure how I didn't spot that.

And another one for Sunday, Twente to win the league. I happened to quite like them to avoid defeat at Ajax, but they're already selling shirts with 3 stars on it, as should they win, it'll be 30 league titles. Don't mind admitting I'm being a mug for pretending Sod's law exists and will have any bearing on this, but meh.

Stoke to win 90 mins - 7-2 got to be worth a bet hasnt it ?

GonzalezIsARed · « **Reply #5239 on:** May 14, 2011, 10:31:01 am »

got a 10er on united, chelsea, arsenal, roma, barcelona, dortmund, milan, everton and layed spurs.

i will get a decent £360 if they come through.

I risked it with everton, they'v only won 4 away games this season but i reckon they will do the baggies today.
