Tom Posted April 8, 2012 Report Share Posted April 8, 2012 my m8 lost £29k chasing a loss of £400 online casino's. He was also made bankrupt and lost his Mrs. Sorry dude but sounds like an absolute tool. As I'm sure he already feels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
123456789000 Posted April 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 What site or what bookies did you do that bet with? Have never seen that bet! It's on bet365, click on a match, and scroll to the bottom, its called 'timecast' I think, I just did an accumulator of 3 of those from different matches on the day.

Same, no matter how good the odds, never bet against your own team, because then in some ways you'd be happy that we lost. What an idiot. They're not even good odds.

I'll be happy if we win of course. A defeat means i'll win £75 as a consalation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spud55 Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 Betting is a Mug's game - unless you own the business. The odds are stacked against the average punter. Many years ago I was a student in Coventry and I shared a rented flat with some other guys above an independent bookmakers shop. From our front room we could see the punters turning up on foot or on their bikes. From the kitchen at the back we could see down onto the rear parking area (behind high locked gates) where the bookie kept his new Jaguar car. The bookie will always win - over time. You may have the odd win, but you will never beat them over the long haul. Depends how much money you play around with, i tend to go through about a tenner in a month, and thats it, i don't expect to win anything, it's a couple of quid a week to make things a bit more interesting. Got an 8 game Acca today with, Hull, City, Leicester, Newcastle, spurs, chelsea, villa and Everton. also chucked £2 e/w on an acca for all the races at cheltenham today, if they all come in 50k for me (not going to happen mind) so for 6 quid i get a good bit of entertaiment and a potential return. I don't tend to bet on city games, but have never had a problem betting against city as at least it makes it a bit better if we loose, although today i've gone for us to win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan Tansley Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 its always a tricky 1 betting against your team I know. I'll be happy if we win of course. A defeat means i'll win £75 as a consalation. indeed, next time we get to a big final I will be putting a very large stake on the opposition to win... Win Win for me, if City were to win a trophy/play off final I would be the happiest man around and if we lost but I made a killing it'd soften the blow enough to hold back the tears.

eastonboy Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 Last time I had a bet, not that it was ever very often, was at the last Workd Cup. Italy were priced at something like 3-1 to beat Paraguay. In a two(well three) horse race it seemed like a good deal. Of course it's only a good deal if the bet comes in, and it didn't. So £200 worse off and I haven't bet since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
123456789000 Posted April 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 I think people have different views on betting due to what they spend. For example people have mentioned they've spent hugely and not won. I however spend £5 every premier league gameweek, on accumulators for big money of 5 different £1 bets. Its a good laugh, makes the weekends more entertaining and I really don't lose much if they don't come in. Occasionally for special games I'll put a one off bet on but never ever more than a £10 bet and that in itself only happens about 3 or 4 times a season. I definitely don't have the balls to spend 100's of pounds on bets and I'll never let myself do it. Keep it small and it remains fun (any possibly profitable) and that's it.

It's only a fiver a week and it makes watching Soccer Saturday one hell of a lot more interesting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fordy62 Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 Hmmm, Did someone mention betting on us to be promoted? What sort of idiot would put £50 on promotion when we're rock bottom of the table on 6 points. 250/1 wasn't too bad. Oh well. Never bet more than you can afford to lose.
