The 2010-2011 Betting Thread - forum gamble fails, Ash's fault.


Recommended Posts

Points prediction looks good value. Argentina/Holland/England to win all three and Honduras/N. Korea/New Zealand to lose all three is nearly 600/1.

 

Blimey. Good odds, that.

 

Honduras 9/4 not to get a point. Couldn't believe that, especially in that group.

USA, Serbia, Nigeria, Paraguay and Chile to finish second in their group.

 

35 NOK returns 3000.

 

Considering going all in with a 1000NOK bet on that one.

10 NOK pretty much always usually equal ca ~ £1 these days. Quick rule of thumb for quick conversion for future bet posting, as I doubt most on here have any idea what NOK even means. O0

Like some of Paddy's daft specials:

 

How many times will David Beckham be mentioned during England's 1st game?

0 14/1

1-3 13/8

4-6 6/4

7-9 9/4

10+ 6/1

 

Also, "Which famous quote from the Michael Caine film Zulu will first be said by a commentator during an England match", "1st Team to show a Jesus Christ T-Shirt in a goal celebration", "First team to fail a drugs test", "1st Player to bless himself after scoring a goal in the Moses Mabhida stadium" and "Who will Maradona verbally insult 1st at the World Cup?"

 

Some of those are barmy  ;D

The good news is that the currency and value of your bet is simply a token entry - no-one needs to know how big or small your bet is. If you feel really strongly about a bet, say so, if it's a bit of a flutter then you can write that.

I agree Stu. Don`t really think that bet is a winning one, but I feel the chance is higher than 84/1. And it would also make all the matches in that group really interessting :)

One for Jonny Hall and any others who use Bet365.

 

I'm an existing user and I've just used their new mobile betting site.  They've sent me an email with 100% free bet based on my next deposit (up to £50).

was also thinking of backing mexico until I saw the stat that a host nation has never lost the opening game (out of 19 W.c)

I agree with that Scum. That`s why I have backed Uruguay to qualify from that group.

 

Ended up with this bet:

 

USA to finish 2nd in their group

Germany/Serbia in their group

Nigeria to finish 2nd in their group

Chile to finish 2nd in their group

Paraguay to finish 2nd in their group

 

80£ returns 8400£.

 

Also trying to get a system with 5 quadruplet through. 5£ each, if the 4 with the lowest odds win I will win back the investment with a small return.
