Im keen to the odd bet! ive inherited some money and ive been chucking the odd bet on abit more regular.
Last night i had £30 on Newcastle,liverpool and Mallorca all winning. They all won and i got £115 quid.
Saturday i had a 5a each way on Merigo and i won £122.
So im quite up! im 19 working 55hours a week im already quite well off just off my salary.
Cutting to the chase. 12/1 odds tonight on Barcelona, QPR and reading all winning, i've spent about an hour researching the teams and it looks really good odds. 25 quid would win £325.
Any of you footie nuts help me out? Not sure what to do
Very bored at work... can you tell?

It's only £25, and it could potentially win you a decent sum. Might as well just go for it, doesn't sound like you will miss it if you lose.
alanrichie
20th April 2010, 10:18
Yeah...
I thought stuff it im well up anyways, I've put 35quid on which is £455.
If i dont win im not really bothered as im already a good +150
Its a good bet tbh 5 quid would get you 65.
fingers crossed!

Barcelona won't beat Inter at home.
Inter had a good win Friday night against Juventus.
Barcelona had a bad result against 13th (Espanyol), letting Real Madrid back in the Title Race.
Used to be a huge better, got to the stage where I bet everyday. It's more luck than anything.
Last year I put £100 in my account, turned it into a good £1600. Then Liverpool, Chelsea, Man United all went on bad runs and lost me £600. You could think yeah, I'm still up a grand, but it's £600...
Most I've won is a 12-way accumulator, £5 won me £670.
-----------------
Edit: I'd add Notts County in, Unbeaten in 15 games. Rochdales last 5 games: LDLLW.

Newcastle to win Newcastle v Ipswich (1/2)
Nottm Forest to win Nottm Forest v Plymouth (4/7)
Go for it?

i fancy a draw with QPR v Watford as Watford wont want a repeat performance from the one they had at Leicester at the weekend where they were truly woeful.

If you go for it then fair play.
Just dont get suckered in that if you lose money, you spend more trying to get back the money you lost.
My brother was on a site and won £300 with a £5 bet, he ended up putting it all back in and more to the sum of £2k!.
Just be careful, they lure you in, then get you for everything!

On your bet it should say the odds, as they will be from when you first placed the bet. You will be safe

If thats the way you think you must have a very boring life :geek:. If you can afford to lose there is no problem with gambling, i'm not bothered the slightest bit by losing the odd £10 or £20 when I could and have made £300+.

Ive lost £100 before on what seemed like a reliable bet (Man U v Bayern 1st leg)
But in my 2 months of football betting, im still up as a whole. And I only usually put £1 or £2 on per week, I just got carried away with the £100 bet thinking It would pay for my Creamfields ticket)

nah i only know if i do i would never stop. No point wasting any amount of money for the potential gain. money is hard earned andcan only be spent once i would prefer to spend my £35 on petrol monet to keep me going for a month.

Not true at all. Had a few bets today. Put Inter to win and 2.5+ goals, won £50 from £5. Reading let me down in a 4 way with 15/1 which I had a fiver on aswell.

I use William Hill, I find there odds to be a lot better than Ladbrokes.
But Ladbrokes is good when Im skint and only want to upload £5.
Under 10 corners is another good bet :y:

Just a quick question, If i use online betting like William Hill, Does any monies i win go straight into my bank account?

20th April 2010, 23:05
betting is fun. as long as you oonly bet what you can afford to lose. i go to a pub where they have the bookies inside it (quite common over here) and a few of the blokes sit there and you can just tell from their looks if they are having a good day or have just spent the weeks shopping money. they ask why i never bet more than $4 on a race when they are all putting down $100 $200 etc, because if i lose $4 its less than a cost of a pint, if i lose $100 its 2 weeks food shopping.

No, it goes onto your William Hill online account.
You can then use the money to put more bets on, or you can withdraw the money to your bank account which takes 2-3 days.
OR
With William Hill you can print a withdraw slip off. Then take it to any William Hill bookies and they'll give you the cash.
Ladbrokes make it even easier, with them you just simply need your bank card with you and you can withdraw money from your online account.

No probs mate.
William Hill are good, send you emails with free bets all the time. Such as "place a £10 bet on the Chelsea V Man United game, get a free goalscorer bet in the Liverpool v West ham game.
Dont seem to get as many promo's from Ladbrokes or 365. Although Ladbrokes did kindly credit £5 into my account today as a gift.

Yeah I'm just signing up with william hill, I quite like the thing where if you have 2 or more bets from different events you get that accumulator thing where you can win an extra few quid.
I can see how it may become addictive haha.
