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

[Yorkie]

Not putting another penny on this competition.

[madras]

Not putting another penny on this competition.

i wont be until at least the knock out stages, quite possibly not even then.

[Kaizero]

Down £105 in total, what's even less fun is that I was £110 up before Italy.

 

Gonna wait to the knock-out rounds before betting any more I think, got a few tourney bets on as well so will be well in the green if they come in. They obviously won't, though. 'cause this WC is fucking shit for betting.

[ElDiablo]

Down about £30 too, with about £20 tied up in other bets. Shocking so far.

[colinmk]

Aye staying off it until the last group games now, too unpredictable.

[SEMTEX]

Put small bets on obscure things at long odds then. There's money to be made, just not on the favourties imo.

[David28]

Have 4€ on Denmark, USA and Paraguay. Returns 40€.

 

Edit: And 5 € on SA for tonight.

[Jill]

I had £5 on Spain, £2 on Spain -1 and £1 on Switzerland DNB. Thank fuck I panicked and put the last one on.

[Neil]

Well, that result utterly fucked up my group bets.

[Mr. Snrub]

Bad form Ronaldo.

 

Chile

Brazil -2

Portugal dnb

Spain -1

Argentina

 

£20 returns £245

 

Ronaldo man, step up your game.  Quickly.

[Ketsbaia]

Lets count how many bets Switzerland have ruined:

 

1) Chile/Spain double today

2) Spain to finish on 9 points

3) Spain/Argentina/England/Holland/Italy to win their groups

 

Awesome. Thanks for that, you neutral twats!

[Mr. Snrub]

Argentina v South Korea

Germany v Serbia

Holland v Japan

England v Algeria

Ghana v Australia

Brazil v Ivory Coast

 

Just stuck £20 on this to return £280.

 

 

[Ronaldo]

Tried to warn you about big bets, fellas.

[Guest BooBoo]

I'm £10 up overall but the last two days have been pretty naff. A Spain win would have won me £20 as well. Twats.

[Neil]

Lad I know just mentioned he'd lost a £400 treble on Spain/Brazil/Argies to get 7-9 points. Rather funny, since he's a cocky little shite, and also was banking on winning it to get funds for a holiday, stupid sod.

[David28]

Tried to warn you about big bets, fellas.

 

Have you already put this massive 1K on "your" world cup winner?

[Doctor Zaius]

1-0 Uraguay, Forlan. 22/1

 

&

 

First goal between 76th and 85th Minute 14/1

[SEMTEX]

The odds on more than 2.5 corners for Uruguay are 2.5. This seems like good value. Even Switzerland got 3 corners.

[Gash]

I just put £3 on SA to win 2:1. All because that crazy African man said earlier he promised it would be 2:1...

15/1 though.

 

[Guest je85]

Pretty sure the first round of group games is an international betting scam.

[SEMTEX]

Well I've put £11.50 on Uruguay to get more than 1.5 corners. Odds 1.5.

[Thespence]

Spain to be winning H/T & full time based purely on them being mint & only 2 of the favs have done this so far so were due another

 

France D/D

Arge W/W

Eng D/D

Ger W/W

NED D/W

ITA D/D

BRA D/W

And all of yesterdays games had no team leading at half time

 

 

So I picked the one f***ing game today where the fav D/L.

[Ronaldo]

Tried to warn you about big bets, fellas.

 

Have you already put this massive 1K on "your" world cup winner?

 

No, as I told you yesterday I was going to wait till i'd seen every team play before placing big bets. Now that I have i'm no closer mind you. But i'm fairly tempted by Spain's new odds in addition to Germany's.

[Gash]

Pretty sure the first round of group games is an international betting scam.

I think you could be on to something, maybe Mr Paddy Power is getting his own back since Ireland aren't there, he's paid all the teams to fuck up.

[Gash]

All these Africans thinking it's going to be 2:1 is giving me hope!
