David28 Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Probably Basel and Lyon aren't easy enough for Bayern. They'll probably get easier clubs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 I've only ever done internet betting, so I've no doubt this enquiry is going to sound stupid as fuck, but.. What is the general etiquette in betting shops? I feel like I was irritating the guy at the desk so much yesterday when asking the odds for a treble. Would you normally write down the bet yourself and just hand it over? 'Cause I don't want to go in and ask for a 6 fold team by team and for him to take ages again. I much prefer the shop now like, I spend less, and I generally seem to win more often (that's probably co-incidence). I wish sometimes I had the nads to ask the odds, when I stick £1 or 50p on 5 or 6 dead cert teams and get the slip back revealing a win of between £2-3 and I wish I'd never bothered, that's pretty annoying, and quite embarrassing going into the shop just to collect that fucking tiny sum of money.

Aye that's what worries me, I want to know the odds before I decide to place. But I don't want them to get pissed off me with making them take so much time to find out for me. I'd feel so guilty I couldn't say 'nah don't worry I'll leave it' after either! But then I've done a 6 fold on all the British teams (other than Hearts ofc) in the Europa League tonight on WillHill and it says it's 53.something, so it'd be worth it I guess.

Pilko Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Aye, I often check them online before I head to the shop so I have a rough idea. I told the lass I was quite embarrassed claiming £1.28 or something a few months ago and she said "oh that's nothing, a bloke was in this morning getting 25p back" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David28 Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Bayern to get into the group with Basel and Lyon. 2singles 10€ each. Thought for a moment that Lyon was with Bayern in A as they were picked first. Not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wormy Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 I'd want to get it back, imagine all those small winnings that build up in the shops' pockets. But it's just so pathetic. Even worse? I put £5 into a Blackjack machine when I had £1 winnings. Just to make it look more worth it when I printed the reciept. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 I mean, on my way down past the shop tonight, I'll be claiming £4 and probably placing a 50p/£1 bet on the Toon game tonight. I think that's about an acceptable level of claim/spend to not feel awkward about it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David28 Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Won't wait for the line-up as the odds are decreasing already. 100 € on us (-1) for tonight. 50 € on halftime/fulltime both us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wormy Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Indeed. I only want to stick a quid on this 6 fold, seems stupid how much I'm fretting over a £1 bet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wormy Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Nah, man. £1 on a 6 fold if I've got the balls to pop in the betting shop on the way to work. That's my max for now. Especially when I don't own anymore money right now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
