Re: Football Betting Mugs Game ?
 

Well my initial "selections" didn't go as planned, however thanks to "Camelot" (15/8) winning the big race at Newmarket & Chelsea (13/8 ) somehow managing to cling on to the F.A. Cup, I've still come out with a nice profit !! :D

And yes......... they were bets I decided to place after posting earlier !!!:o

Re: Football Betting Mugs Game ?
 

I had a fiver on Wigan to win 2nite nice tidy £12.50 back!

Re: Football Betting Mugs Game ?
 

That's not gambling thats thieving, you should be locked up:D

Should have put a twenty on it John! ;)

It were a BANKER!!! :D

Re: Football Betting Mugs Game ?
 

I was seriously thinking of having a punt on the chicken farmers to perform the great escape on Saturday, after a rush of blood to the head.

Fortunately, I didn't have time to go to the bookies!

Re: Football Betting Mugs Game ?
 

I'm sure it was, If I'd have been a betting man I'd have had a monkey on Wigan:D

Re: Football Betting Mugs Game ?
 

Hell Wyn you did a real Steve McQueen there mate, they hadn't a snowball in hells chance of getting 6 points and a 6 goal turn round in the goal difference, we're talking Blackburn Rovers here not Barcelona:D

Re: Football Betting Mugs Game ?
 

Arse hole nal let me down at the weekend, drawing 3-3 with Norwich.
Won a bit back on Monday backing Hibs to beat Dunfermline.
I've had to tweak my betting system, i've got one system that has a 100% record.
5 games backed 5 wins, a profit of £58.56.
I'm keeping it a secret, it can lose, but it ain't let me down yet.
Might have a final do with it at the weekend.:p

Re: Football Betting Mugs Game ?
 

Just a little note Jaysay, Rovers have played Barcelona twice and won both times. (once at Ewood, once in Spain):)

Re: Football Betting Mugs Game ?
 

Put a few bucks on the Phoenix Coyotes for the Stanley Cup;) Not too much tho', altho' the odds might be decent. And in the Stanley Cup, the teams play a seven game series in which ties are resolved by sudden death overtime. Anything can happen. This mug here is going to bet a C-note.:D

Re: Football Betting Mugs Game ?
 

I've been a Rovers supporter 60 years matey, ya can't teach granny how to suck eggs:D they were both friendly games

Re: Football Betting Mugs Game ?
 

I know they were friendly's and they outplayed us at Ewood, lets hope we play 'em again some time, maybe to celebrate the Venky's departure.
I'm a dreamer...LOL

Come On Rovers !!! ROVERS for LIFE.

I'll settle for Kean for a start, but it looks like he's fireproof

Re: Football Betting Mugs Game ?
 

Had a horse bet this week and won. (been reading a book on which type of race to bet on and hey presto, i won, i did a £2 reversed forecast and won £10.34 Haydock 4.15
Stayed off the football bets this weekend.

Re: Football Betting Mugs Game ?
 

Ya mean you didn't back Chelski:eek::eek::eek::D

Re: Football Betting Mugs Game ?
 

I did! ;)

I had Chelsea, Man.U, Spurs and Newcastle on a fourfold........................................bl udy Newcastle! ;)

Ah well another fourfold this week is all homes and my first came in last night with Sheff.Utd beating Satanage :D

Re: Football Betting Mugs Game ?
 

Newcastle heth, Wigan were a racing cert, they're the in team, only second to City in the current form league won 5 of their last 6 games

Re: Football Betting Mugs Game ?
 

Once i won on the horses i thought i'd leave the last games alone.
Chelsea were a good price i suppose 1/3 but they didn't need to win.
If in doubt leave it out.
I'm the Geoff Boycott of betting, ball going wide, remove the bat, there's always the next week.

Re: Football Betting Mugs Game ?
 

Remember Heth a four fold has 81 perms on it !!!
3 x 3 x 3 x 3 = 81
Keep it simple. Bookies laughing all the way to their bank...:theband:

Re: Football Betting Mugs Game ?
 

Look no matter how many times you tell me to keep it simple I will always bet the way I wanna bet not the way you keep telling me.

I am not like you, I bet small amounts.

Re: Football Betting Mugs Game ?
 

i'm sure the bookies are grateful for all small donations.
You can put small amounts on your bets, and if you win, increase the amount's.
I do 10% of my betting fund usually.
I'm only trying to help people win a bit back off the bookies.
Enjoy your betting.

Re: Football Betting Mugs Game ?
 

If you don't give the bookie your hard earned then you don't need to get it back:D

Re: Football Betting Mugs Game ?
 

MMmm ... looks like that's a c-note down the tubes:mad: The LA Kings, of all bloody teams for chrissake, are ahead three games to zip in their best of seven series ... if the Kings take it, they will be the long shot in the final ... and it looks as if the New York Rangers will be the opposition. This mug is going to go with the Kings for the final. They are hot, and have already set a record for away wins. Don't know about football, but betting on hockey is sure a mug's game.;)

Re: Football Betting Mugs Game ?
 

Well my bet's still alive ... although I hesitate to advise anyone to make a wager ... Two teams that should not have made it to the final are about to play for the Stanley Cup. This is the big one. If I had gone with the favorites ... well I didn't ... Vancouver Canucks went out in the first round to the Kings; and the New York Rangers lost to the New Jersey Devils in the semis. Still, it's a seven game series to decide the winner. I'm still going with the Kings ... but, who knows, betting on hockey is a mug's game.;)

Re: Football Betting Mugs Game ?
 

I know less than nothing on ice hockey, so i don't bet on it.
Over 7 games you should be able to pick the winner, or are they evenly matched?

Re: Football Betting Mugs Game ?
 

I think its who's the best with the stick really and how many notches each player accumulates:rolleyes:

Re: Football Betting Mugs Game ?
 

Most Stanley Cup finals go the whole 7 games ... and lots of OT, and OT is sudden death ... think you guys call it "golden goal" ... two great teams in the final ... The L. A. Kings have set a new record for consecutive away wins ... nine, I think ... L. A. won last nite, 2-1 in OT in New Jersey. Goaltending is always big in the final, and their netminders have come up big. The Devils have home advantage in the series: they play 4 games in their own barn ... but, they are playing a team that is the best in the league on the road ... it's a tough one to call ... but I'm still going with the Kings ... Oh, and don't listen to Jaysay ... for some reason he thinks hockey is a rough game.

Re: Football Betting Mugs Game ?
 

That aint sport,its legalised brawling.:rolleyes:

Re: Football Betting Mugs Game ?
 

Brawling its GBH cashy:D

Re: Football Betting Mugs Game ?
 

Oh come on, just the lads letting off a little steam.;) The Sens and the Flyers don't seem to like one another, and sometimes things get a tad outa hand ... the refs let them go at it for a while, and then pull them apart when they get tired.

I've seen some pretty rough tackles in football, and not a few downright dirty players ... that Joey Barton, for example, the guy's a disgrace, and he hides behind the "no retaliation" rule ... He wouldn't get away with stuff like that in the NHL; someone with the nickname "Moose" or "Cement Head" (as in Mark "Moose" Messier, or Dave "Cement Head" Semenko) would skate over and clean his clock for him ... give the jerk an attitude adjustment ... and then the boys could get back to playing hockey.:theband:

Re: Football Betting Mugs Game ?
 

Hockey is an awesome sport, I still have my Sundin Leafs Jersey from a trip to Toronto in '04 :)

Only problem was we went during playoff season and the tickets were just too much to go and watch a game.

Re: Football Betting Mugs Game ?
 

Finally, someone who appreciates Hockey:D And Mats Sundin is one of the best to ever suit up for the Leafs ... altho' my favorite is Wendel Clark, aka "Captain Crunch".:theband:

Re: Football Betting Mugs Game ?
 

To be honest Eric can't understand why somebody hasn't done that on the football field, he's an irritating little jerk with a screw loose, he's definitely not wired up right

Re: Football Betting Mugs Game ?
 

I agree ... think he would be less of a problem if he knew the victim of one his dirty fouls wouldn't just lie there on the ground, pretending to be near death, or at least in agony, but would jump up and drive him one in the head.

Re: Football Betting Mugs Game ?
 

I think that hockey is not all that much of a dirty game ... Remember when in football, the shoulder charge was legal? You gotta remember the Cup Final in '58 ... that controversial Nat Lofthouse goal, when he bundled Harry Gregg (and the ball) into the net? Most of the checking you see in hockey is quite legal stuff ... may look brutal, but if a guy has the puck, the shoulder charge is ok ... if he has the puck, and he has his head down, he will get creamed ... Wendel Clark once hit an L. A. defender, Bell, I think, so hard that he knocked him unconscious. No penalty. And no fights broke out. In football there is too much chippy stuff going on ... a lot of it the refs don't see ... it's that kind of dirty play that causes fights in hockey ... if a player is a victim of dirty play and the ref doesn't see it, he takes matters into his own hands, drops his gloves, and comes up swinging ... as a result, in hockey, you get far fewer of those dirty little plays.

By the way ... my bet is looking good ... L.A. won the second game, again in OT ... that means they head back to their own barn leading the best of seven 2-0 ... but that doesn't mean it's over ... the fat lady ain't singing yet.

Re: Football Betting Mugs Game ?
 

Well back in the good old days men played football and if there was 1 yellow card (or in those days they just booked um) it was rare as for sending off it had to be attempted murder, but when clubs think nothing of pay £30 million for a player and they are so delicate ( you can knock um over with a stick of rhubarb) teams try to wrap players in cotton wool and refs are frightened of upsetting top managers and their Prima Donna's its no longer a sport its just a money making exercise:mad:

Re: Football Betting Mugs Game ?
 

Similar things have happened in hockey too ... when I came to Canada, hockey goaltenders didn't even wear masks ... the first one to do so was Jaques Plante; and the only reason he wore it was that he had just had a bunch of stitches in his face, and he wanted to get back into the game ... Ed "Iron Man" Giacomin, who tended goal for the Rangers, was famous for stopping pucks with his face:eek: And the players didn't wear helmets. But the basic physicality of the game will never change; in fact, players are bigger, faster, and they shoot and hit harder.

Re: Football Betting Mugs Game ?
 

Hey ... lookin' good ... maybe I'm not such a mug as I thought I would be ... Kings won 4 to zip tonite ... The fat lady is warming up:theband:

Re: Football Betting Mugs Game ?
 

Well, it was close last nite ... but I'm still waiting to collect ... The Devils won in L.A. 3-1 with some outstanding goaltending by 40 yr. old Martin Brodeur. And the Fat Lady is back to munching on donuts.;) So it's off to Jersey for game 5, with the Kings ahead 3-1 in the series. It was a very physical game, but for those who think it's a dirty sport, only eight fouls were called. And there were no fights.

Re: Football Betting Mugs Game ?
 

Well ... it's over ... and I earned enough to drink Bomber for a week:theband:


The Kings took it in six ... and, not surprisingly, Jonathon Quick was the MVP of the series ... fantastic goaltending from Quick won the series for L.A.

Not a bad series ... much more exciting than the soccer Euros:D

Oh ... and while the yanks were crowing about the victory, they didn't see fit to mention that there are 15 Canadians playing for L.A.;)

Re: Football Betting Mugs Game ?
 

Flaming big CUP Eric:eek:

Re: Football Betting Mugs Game ?
 

Indeed it is ... and it's the STANLEY CUP ... gotta be a connection there;)

And the cup gets to travel around ... all the players on the winning team get to take it to their communities. So it will be spending a lot of time in small-town Canada:D

Re: Football Betting Mugs Game ?
 

Not been on here for a while.
Since the new football season started, i've opened up two betting accounts on t'internet.
£50 on Paddy Power and £40 on Skybet.
I've only got £5 left on my Skybet, and my Paddy Power is on £30 with bets outstanding.
If the money goes to zero on either, no more betting for me on that zero account.

Re: Football Betting Mugs Game ?
 

I last came on this thread 5/12/2012 and had £30 in my Paddy Power account.
I now have £34.10. So i have managed to stem my losses on betting, but making a profit is not been easy. 9 months showing £4.10 profit, maybe a bank account should be better... Just waiting for a few 'safe' bets to come along, but is there such a thing? Glad i didn't back Chelsea tonight.
Might put my £30 on Tottenham 1/7 tomorrow and make £4.29 doubling my profits !!!
£30 x8= 240 divided by 7= £34.285. The only thing is I don't know anything about Tromso's form.
It's gonna take me years to be able to live off the bookies

Re: Football Betting Mugs Game ?
 

Thought yeh woulda twigged by now mate, yeh aint gonna win owt long term.;)

Re: Football Betting Mugs Game ?
 

Especially if your called Rob!

Re: Football Betting Mugs Game ?
 

Just keep tweaking my bets,if i'm patient i know i can beat the bookies. Was considering putting a lump sum on the Man U Palace game, then just use the returns to bet with, but not putting silly accumulators on. Having a dabble on QPR 4/5 at Yeovil tomorrow.

Re: Football Betting Mugs Game ?
 

Only if you are a patient in some asylum would you even think that :D

Re: Football Betting Mugs Game ?
 

I've been around a long time and the number of times I've heard that are many yet I've never seen anybody succeeding yet, that's beating the bookie that is:rolleyes: when was that last time you saw a bookie on his uppers, yet I've seen many a gambler that way;)

Re: Football Betting Mugs Game ?
 

Bookies aren't on their uppers because thousands of people put speculative bets on day in day out,I aim to have a steady trickle of wins, something they won't notice or worry about, just backing single football bets, which have a 1 in 3 chance of coming up. I have done loads of research and am quite happy to plod on.
Thanks to QPR for beating Yeovil today. Another small step towards the point were my stake's will be the bookies own money.;)

Re: Football Betting Mugs Game ?
 

Dream on mate.

Re: Football Betting Mugs Game ?
 

Just don`t risk more than you`ll miss, the bookies always win.:)

Re: Football Betting Mugs Game ?
 

Stetrovers,
your missing the bigger picture.
If you have a winning account online or if your always winning in the same shops in the same area, they will limit your stake.
I know people who have had there stake limited to a £5iver, the bookies do it to discourage them from betting with them anymore and to go elsewhere.
They don't like winning accounts, and you can guarantee if you where having regular 3 figure wins your allowed stake would be limited.

Don't forget, they aren't bookies any more.
They make far more money of the mugs who play on the FOBS in-shop or the virtual casino/slots online.
Why do you think they have been giving luxury days out to tory and labour mps, lavishing them with constituencies funds, etc.
Because they want the new gambling bill to give them unrestricted numbers of those evil FOB machines in their shops, effectively turning them into no more than casinos.

But don't worry, most of them are registered in Gibraltar so they can limit their tax liabilities.

The only way you can consistently put on big winning bets these days is with betfair or betdaq. They offer superior odds on the exchanges so why anyone would want to bet with the highstreet bookies is beyond me.

The art of traditional bookmaking is well gone; the current crop are a fraud.

Re: Football Betting Mugs Game ?
 

Remember the old saying "The Fool And His Money Are Easily Parted"

Re: Football Betting Mugs Game ?

Re: Football Betting Mugs Game ?

Re: Football Betting Mugs Game ?
 

Some of my money is parted from me, it's in several banks, making sod all interest. Picking out a few 'bankers' every now and again, will give me a better return than waiting for a 0.02% interest account to mature.;)

Re: Football Betting Mugs Game ?
 

But its guaranteed to be there, it certainly ain't when its in a bookies till, there's nothing sure in backing anything at the bookies, that's why they they're in business, can't remember a bookie going bust:rolleyes:

Re: Football Betting Mugs Game ?
 

Much better interest if yeh open n offshore account.;) But even our banks give yeh a better long term return than any Bookie.

Re: Football Betting Mugs Game ?
 

I know people who like to have a flutter, and they say it makes a game of football more interesting if you have money riding on it. And it is your money to do with as you want, but if it`s just a case of making your money earn you money, then there are better ways of doing so in my opinion.

Re: Football Betting Mugs Game ?
 

A lot better ways :cool:

Re: Football Betting Mugs Game ?
 

I don't have a 'flutter', I scan the coupon and if there's one game that take's my fancy I will have a little bet on it, or maybe a big bet on it, depending on how confident I feel about the match. Sometime's I will go without a bet if nothing appeals to me.
I also have money earning money away from betting.
I have had 5 consecutive wins since my last loss, wonder if I can get into double figures??

Re: Football Betting Mugs Game ?
 

It's not about luck being in, it's about being careful, today i went against my betting instinct's and did a treble, it went down. I fancied Southampton, off a good win at Anfield against Crystal Palace who had lost 4 out of 5 of their Premier League matches so far. That should have been my bet, but i had to stick Man U and Bolton with it, and down it went. Dougie Freedman must be sweating on his job now, not beating Yeovil is not good enough, they nearly lost, equalising in the last minute.
My recent winning's paid for my treble bet, so no real harm done.
I should not do accumulators !!! when will i learn !!!! ha ha ha:confused:

Re: Football Betting Mugs Game ?
 

I wish you well with your betting, no doubt you`ve looked into it. But here`s some tips for those that maybe haven`t.
http://www.freewebs.com/lhole/beatthebookies.pdf
I looked into the stats last week but unfortunately can`t find the link, but it went something like - bet £1 on every favourite and in (i think) 1 year you will lose over £1000.

Re: Football Betting Mugs Game ?
 

That's probably horse racing betting, not football, which is what i bet on.
Thanks 4 the link anyway, CHEERS

Re: Football Betting Mugs Game ?
 

Backing anything in sport and winning is luck, no ifs no buts I've yet to meet a poor bookie:rolleyes:

Re: Football Betting Mugs Game ?
 

Bet you made a real killing on that home banker yesterday United v WBA:rolleyes:

Re: Football Betting Mugs Game ?
 

After United's poor performance against Palace last week I didn't want to risk too much on 'em. That's why I did an accumulator.
There are certain teams that will struggle this season, like Palace away from home, they wont win many on their travels.
Geoff Boycott style betting could be the way. If in doubt don't have a bet. Steady does it, i'm in no rush.
Liverpool made my money that i lost yesterday.
Everton should do Newcastle tomorrow but I think i'll keep my money in my pocket.

Re: Football Betting Mugs Game ?
 

I`ve just looked at Liverpools odds 1-5, which must have needed quite a stake to recoup yesterdays losses (5 X whatever you bet yesterday). That`s quite a risk. If Liverpool had lost, what would you have to stake on your next bet just to try and break even.

Re: Football Betting Mugs Game ?
 

There's one thing for sure by the time my time on earth comes around I'll be better off through gambling at the bookies than you, never used um:rolleyes:

Re: Football Betting Mugs Game ?
 

Backed Liverpool before the game at Corals price 8/11.
1/5 must have been in running price.
Just backed Everton at 1/40 whilst 2-0 up !!!

Re: Football Betting Mugs Game ?
 

Checked after game on bet365 for liverpool odds.
Don`t see the point of a bet like that, 1-40, what was your stake.
But you had a twitchy sphincter by the end of the game.http://www.messentools.com/images/av...ickering11.gif

Re: Football Betting Mugs Game ?
 

i had £34.95 in my account so put on £4.95. Won a massive 12 pence. I know it was a bit pointless, but it prove's a point. If you have the fund's you can beat the bookies.
Some punter somewhere could have put £40000 on and won £1000.
Going back to the Liverpool price, it would have fluctuated all the time during the match and at some stage, you would only be able to bet on the draw or Sunderland.
It's all about timing.

Re: Football Betting Mugs Game ?
 

That`s OK until the big comeback costs that punter £40,000. Evertons comeback from 4-2 down against Man U springs to mind.

Re: Football Betting Mugs Game ?
 

Thank's for everyone's concern's, i do have my gambling under control. One bloke i work with, his son has recently joined the army, stationed at Catterick. Being in the army it's 'hard' spending your wage's, so he regularly put's £30 bet's on football accumulator's. He won £600+ a couple of week's ago. His dad was telling everyone at work. He seemed proud of his lad. If that was my lad, i would be telling him to leave his earning's in the bank. One thing about joining the service's is that you can put a nest egg away for the future. People work hard for their wage's, and can spend it however they please, but this lad has got it so wrong, will he learn I wonder...

Re: Football Betting Mugs Game ?
 

My step daughter is in the army, and while in Afhan, there were lots of lads blowing their money on gambling sites (nothing else to do, and money burning a hole in their pockets). The army tried to stop this by banning gambling sites on the camps internet access, but with new ones popping up all the time they couldn`t keep up. She came home with six months wages + tour bonus, others came home with nothing in the bank.

Received 2 free £5 bets from Paddy Power on my mobile, did an 'obvious' double backing Arsenal and Chelsea, the other £5 which i received in the shop went on Villa to draw with Spurs.
So i am up £7.69 thanks to Paddy Powers generosity.
I've now won a massive £9.69 on Paddy Power free bets LOL

Re: Football Betting Mugs Game ?
 

can't believe it, but Paddy Power sent me another 2 FREE £5 BETS.
Went down to the shop on Friday, where another bloke also received the same offer. He threw his away with SILLY 4 FOLD. Whereas I kept it simple, having a Fiver on Arsenal 4/11 at Palace and the other FIVER on Leicester 4/6 at home to Bournemouth.
Those 2 wins have gone into my very appreciative On Line Account.
I also had a little bet on Arsenal on my on line account.
SLOWLY BUT SURELY

Re: Football Betting Mugs Game ?
 

Not read through this thread so apologies if this has already been mentioned but if your into your online betting take a look at quidco and topcashback - essentially giving free bets (with a few months turn around). I made a few hundred out of it a couple of years ago - well worth the time.

Cheers Sam. I will have a look

There's only ever one winner, you never see a poor bookie or one going bust put there are plenty out there chasing the raindow:rolleyes:

Re: Football Betting Mugs Game ?
 

Received 2 free £5 bets yet again from paddy power. That's 3 week's on the trot.
A fiver on Oxford to beat Bristol Rovers and a fiver on Leeds to beat Yeovil.
Keeping it nice and simple. Thank you very much Paddy Power.
