So each hand is just you and the dealer?
Shame really I imagined loads of pissed up blokes round a table betting on 8 high.

That's right, just against the dealer. Optimal strategy is to raise on Q,10 or higher iirc.

Good source of casino strategy can be found on wizardofodds or beating bonuses websites.

Separately, joined a syndicate last week which managed to bag the tote Scoop6 on our first go at the weekend!

West ham to score 4+ @ 8/1 £10
west ham to score 5+ @ 25/1 £10

I'm proud of ya Dyl.

Obviously I misinterpreted Carlton's message, he meant 3-0 Madrid and 2-0 West Ham, but who cares, you've merked the **** out of that bet.

Odds on Spuds to win the FA Cup? The FA have refused to move their semi-final from the Sunday. Assuming they beat Benfica, they;ll have Barca or Milan in the CL semi on the Tuesday. I'd expect Chelsea to play a much weakened team....

love you bud

£50 on a Bayern/Barca double tonight at just over 2/1

only 12/5. Not hugely generous, but I do fancy them to win it.

Perhaps a better bet would be spurs/Liverpool double at just under 5/1

[screech]

Spread about £25 on silly bets on the barca Milan game and manage to get £5 on no goalscorer @ 14/1
Also had bayern, Sheffield utd and barca all -1 treble @ 20/1 poxy barca

[Dyl]

barca/sheff Utd/bayern treble for me. So sick, they were so so poor, Messi was awful tonight, looked like they'd taken a bung!

bugger

[Whufc06]

Barca had 2 stonewall penaltys not given though.

[screech]

Valencia -1, athletico madrid -1 and sporting Lisbon -1 treble on sky bet pays 35/1
You will probably be able to get better odds elsewhere as well if you shop around

[Whufc06]

Dont fancy that at all Screech. Ain't Valencia away? Also Metalist are a very capable team.

[Dyl]

Valencia -1/Metalist+1 double at about 3/1

[Fishbone]

Worth having Plymouth on your accies at the weekend. Currently 11/10, but Bradford will be missing at least 3 players due to the mass brawl they had with Crawley.

[Whufc06]

Think Crewe look excellent value at around Evs

[Whufc06]

Also, and I know some people won't wanna back it but West Ham ht Draw ft at 14/1 has gotta be worth a few quid

[screech]

Long shot accy for the weekend
Birmingham -1, Plymouth -1, west ham -1 and wolves -1 @ 290/1

[Dyl]

West Ham/Reading Draw @ 11/5
Palace/Forest Draw @ 12/5
Southampton @ 6/4
Leeds @ 5/6
Hull @ 8/11

5 way
4 ways
trebles

£100 on, returns about £2400 at best

also have a speculative 400/1 shot - again 5 way, 4 ways and trebles.

Stoke @ 2/1
Bolton @ 21/10
Norwich @ 9/2
Reading @ 11/5
Southampton @ 6/4

[screech]

Gone for a 5 team safety bet with ladbrokes
Rangers, Cardiff, west ham, Leeds and hearts
£50 returns £792.37 if one is wrong then I get minimum £99.75 back

Cardiff v millwank £50 @ 13/2 on Cardiff -2

£5 on lottery tonight and will have a scorecast or two when I get to the ground and see the starting eleven
That's my lot for gambling this weekend unless I have any winners out of this lot as I want to limit myself to about £100ish per matchday
