Ginola Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Considering Vidic red card for CL final. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wormy Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 I've given up, if you count not having a bet for 4 days as giving up. I did. Then I signed up to WillHill. Just wait, my friend. Just wait Tbf, the only reason I've stopped is because WillHill needs a £10 deposit rather than £5 and that puts me off, too much commitment Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 You actually did sign up to WH? Vidic red card is a good call. Or at least to get booked. Odds? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginola Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 I've not checked the odds yet, just think he's looked fairly reckless lately and could easily pick up 2 bookings or a straight red. That said, if I put on that bet he'll probably have get MotM and not put a foot wrong all game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 He's regularly reckless but he gets away with an awful lot. Still, probably worth a few quid. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mowen Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 Paddy Power have a special on for the Champions League final in that if Barcelona win in normal time they'll refund losing bets. Sky bet have that if Messi or Rooney score they'll refund any losing goalscorer, correct score and scorecasts. And as a result I've put the remaining £20.75 I have in there on all sorts of bets. 3-1 either way, 2-2, Iniesta, Xavi, Pique, Hernandez, Valencia, Vidic all FGS, Villa to score in both halves, Messi&2-0, Villa, Hernandez & Rooney all with 2-1 Barca. Probs lose it all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Roger Kint Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 Paddy Power's money back deal looks good. Messi FG 2-0 - 28/1 Villa FG - 2-0 - 40/1 Iniesta FG - 2-0 - 60/1 Might put these on. Man Utd apparently have conceded 2 goals every time they have worn white this season. Not sure how true but..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wormy Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 I think I may have to deposit a final £10 to WillHill to end the season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest je85 Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 Andres Iniesta to score first and Barcelona 2-1 @ 75/1 £3 Man Utd - Barcelona HT/FT @ 28/1 £3 Barcelona 2-1 @ 8/1 £3.50 (skybet, refunded if Messi/Rooney score) Hernandez fgs @ 7/1 £3.50 (betfred dd hh) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_R Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 Just spread £100 over Man U win / Draw correct scores on Paddy Power, thus guaranteeing at least £25 profit provided Barca don't win in normal time. If Barca do win, I get my £100 back. Seemed ridiculous not to do it really. Zero risk, decent chance of £25. Tempted to stick £25 on a Barca win in normal time (Evens), then I'll be looking for that to come in rather than hoping Man U win or draw. Will think that through in the next couple of hours.

Interpolic Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 Got £5 free bet on Stevenage -1 @ 4/1. Lets hope it comes off to give me something to play with tonight, otherwise I won't submit funds unless I'm drunk by then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it seriously as easy as that? No catch? Edit: draw and you're snookered. Edit 2: just properly read your post. OK... snookered if it's, what, 4-4?

Chris_R Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 4-4's covered. 5-5 in normal time and I'm fucked. Also didn't bother to cover Man U winning 6-0 or greater. Could cover that for a few extra pennies though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 Surely it was only really worth going up to 3-3 for the draw and about a 3 goal Man Utd win? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beren Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 Chris_R: If they draw 1-1, you only get odds of 6/1 - which means it won't cover your losses from the other bets unless you've split £100 like so: 0-0 - £14.3 1-1 - £14.3 2-2 - £12.5 1-0 - £12.5 2-0 - £12.5 2-1 - £12.5 3-1 - £10.7 3-2 - £10.7 If Man Utd win by 3 goals or the draw is 3-3 or above... you're screwed though. Barca win, break even. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 Tbh if I did it I'd only put on 3 or 4 likely scores (for Man Utd/draw) - 1-0, 1-1, 2-1, 2-2. Can't see it being goalless. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_R Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 2 secs, I'll post my bets. That should make it clearer... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_R Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 Here's what I've got covered at the moment... Basically stuck £50 on a draw and £50 on a Man U win and then tried to split it so I can maximise my returns. Works out at about £125 minimum if any of the following come in, not done it precisely though so some are a little higher than others. Just got it approximate really but it's near enough. Man Utd 5 - 4 @ 500/1 Correct Score Barcelona v Man Utd - Wembley Stadium Pending £0.25 Man Utd 5 - 3 @ 500/1 Correct Score Barcelona v Man Utd - Wembley Stadium Pending £0.25 Man Utd 5 - 2 @ 500/1 Correct Score Barcelona v Man Utd - Wembley Stadium Pending £0.25 Man Utd 5 - 1 @ 500/1 Correct Score Barcelona v Man Utd - Wembley Stadium Pending £0.25 Man Utd 5 - 0 @ 500/1 Correct Score Barcelona v Man Utd - Wembley Stadium Pending £0.25 Man Utd 4 - 3 @ 300/1 Correct Score Barcelona v Man Utd - Wembley Stadium Pending £0.50 Man Utd 4 - 2 @ 175/1 Correct Score Barcelona v Man Utd - Wembley Stadium Pending £0.75 Man Utd 4 - 1 @ 125/1 Correct Score Barcelona v Man Utd - Wembley Stadium Pending £1.00 Man Utd 4 - 0 @ 225/1 Correct Score Barcelona v Man Utd - Wembley Stadium Pending £0.62 Man Utd 3 - 2 @ 33/1 Correct Score Barcelona v Man Utd - Wembley Stadium Pending £4.00 Man Utd 3 - 1 @ 35/1 Correct Score Barcelona v Man Utd - Wembley Stadium Pending £3.75 Man Utd 3 - 0 @ 50/1 Correct Score Barcelona v Man Utd - Wembley Stadium Pending £2.50 Man Utd 2 - 1 @ 10/1 Correct Score Barcelona v Man Utd - Wembley Stadium Pending £13.26 Man Utd 2 - 0 @ 17/1 Correct Score Barcelona v Man Utd - Wembley Stadium Pending £7.50 Man Utd 1 - 0 @ 9/1 Correct Score Barcelona v Man Utd - Wembley Stadium Pending £15.00 Draw 4 - 4 @ 350/1 Correct Score Barcelona v Man Utd - Wembley Stadium Pending £0.35 Draw 3 - 3 @ 75/1 Correct Score Barcelona v Man Utd - Wembley Stadium Pending £1.75 Draw 2 - 2 @ 16/1 Correct Score Barcelona v Man Utd - Wembley Stadium Pending £8.16 Draw 1 - 1 @ 6/1 Correct Score Barcelona v Man Utd - Wembley Stadium Pending £20.97 Draw 0 - 0 @ 13/2 Correct Score Barcelona v Man Utd - Wembley Stadium Pending £18.64 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris_R Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 Just took 20 mins with a spreadsheet last night. If anyone wants to help themselves to the above, feel free, but of course check my maths before you do as I don't want to be held responsible for you blowing your rent money on my bad maths. The odd figures like £18.64 are because I multiplied everything up after using smaller numbers for some reason to start with on some of the figures rather than me trying to be completely exact.
