gone big on barca -1. Thinking 3-0 tonight

Personally hope you're right! But can't seem to find decent odds on -1. Its around the 1.60 mark. Might just wait and see how the match developes and put -1 after 30 minutes if its still a draw, hmm..

Also tempted to put a little something on chelsea draw +1 or Drogba to score but I don't like it one bit

Weisman to score for villa is also interesting I think, but for under 3 times your money I'm not sure there's any value on it.... Any thoughts?

[Dynan1]

£2.50 each on Torres to score in 90 minutes (4/1) Barcelona to be winning at half time, draw at 90 (25/1) and 2-2 at the end of 90 minutes (25/1)

£132.50 winnings.

How much are you up/down, since you started betting properly, since, like, forever?

Worth avoiding accumulators on last day of season - always shocks. Premier League matches might be worth a go this weekend.

Instead why not trying a few doubles on ours and southamptons game?

So....

West Ham/Southampton
Hull/Southampton
West Ham/Coventry (I am leaving this one because I will be joyus enough if it comes off!!
Coventry/Hull

I don't have a perfectly accurate record i'm afraid mate.

I started betting on my 24th birthday, that was the day I opened my first online account. So since October 9th 2010 i have gambled on skybet and bet365 pretty much constantly.

On skybet i know i've had 3 different debit cards, the first I removed down about £350, the second I removed about £300 up and the current one is up about £100 - so up a little maybe, certainly not much for 2 years of bets lol

My bet365 account is up about £800, mainly due to the fact that I opened that one after I started taking more care with my bets/researching more.

[screech]

Certainly more disciplined than me dyl before today I was about £1200 down since Saturday
Had a few touches today and won about £650 so now for the week I'm down £550
If tonights result is draw/Valencia ht/ft then I break even for the week

I'm down £250 this week so far, but I can claw most of that back witha couple of bets i love tonight.

Valencia/Atletico over 2.5 is worth some, but mainly Atlanta Hawks to beat Dallas Mavs -5 points in the NBA tonight, going big on that one, i'll be stunned if that ****'s up. - if you're ever going to take a tip from me then this is a great one to take, but of course, sport is sport...


I had a very good fortnight up til now, won about £900 over the last couple of weeks, but yeah, as I say, down about £250 this week.

here's to turning it round tonight.

More tips like that Atlanta one please Dyl!

I've been given a free £10 bet by Paddy Power, any thoughts on the best way of maximising what I can win? Obviously I can go for something crazy to try and win big or keep it a bit more conservative but win less. I was thinking about maybe Noble any time or maybe a double of some kind, perhaps a couple of Prem games to be draws.

[coalman]

I have been given a free £20 bet at Paddy Power, Tomkins 1st Goal 25/1

[Bergen Hammer]

Since I've got the flu and nothing better to do , I thought I'd write up my bets for tomorrow and my resoning behind them. I have put quite alot on them, but haven't checked suspensions and injury's so if anyone got anything important to add, please do!

In a doubles system and as treble:

West Ham -1 (obviously the heart talking) 2.20
Brentford - Sheff Wed ( Wednesday to win) 1.90. Wednesday need to win to stay in contention at nicking second spot infront of Bl*des.
Preston - Charlton (Charlton to win) 2.10. Charlton have been miles ahead in this league, hopefully they'll carrry on and want to get their 100th point tomorrow.

I have added MKdons with the 3 above for a accumulator. Playing rock bottom Rochdale away so should have a chance of winning this one.

The other matches are purely on teams that needs a win to either avoid the drop or to get play off spots.

Walsall to beat Huddesfield 2.62.
Wycombe to beat Notts County 3.00
Watford - M'boro (boro to win) 2.37
Palace - Cardiff (Cardiff to win) 2.00

My laughable long shot this weekend is West Ham -2, Coventry draw and Pompey win. Pays almost 100 times your money, lol.

All matches done as singles also. Too much money riding on theese, wish me luck : - D

Halftime; Wigan 4 Newcastle 0! Better luck next week!

Mixed news for me so far. I put £20 on Southampton to win 4-0, (won £65) and another £20 on Southampton to be leading after 15mins and they score on 15mins, 35seconds! (missed out on £75 by 35 poxy seconds!).

Edit: i meant Southampton to win by 4 or more goals.

i have it as a heinz and 5 way so an arsenal and west brom goal will win me a bundle despite the newcastle result.

**** *** charlton

[Bergen Hammer]

I started putting money on us to draw when I saw we were going to c*** it up, and last nigh I had a moment of clarity (righto..) and put a little sometn on 2-2. Would of course prefer us to win by to goals or more but we are ****.

Needed NUFC to get a goal when 4 down to bag a livebet accy, of course they proceeded to hit the post twice, and ben afro blew a sitter.

And then Charlton. **** me

All the bets would have recouped large parts of my bets. such a ****ing degen
