The Off Topic Betting thread

Gerrin there...Fernando Alonso.

5/1 to win today's GP - oh what joy when Schuey broke down.

The morale of the story - always place a bet on anybody who shares a name with a Liverpool star...

So, how much did you win then JD ??  

A tenner!!

I am the last of the big spenders!  

It's the taking part that's exciting!

Had a little bet on Gremio to win 3-2 in the first leg of the Copa Libertadores away at Boca Juniors.  Come on Lucas lad!!

50/1

The Tiger currently 9/4 to win the Open.

Luke Donald and Phil Mickleson are at 25/1.

I've started using this link for a few bets.

http://www.adrianmassey.com/

It's a computer generated program that picks out the order of the gee gee's in most race meetings.

I try and pick 4 horses and bet doubles. (6 chances of winning), it's only for fun and bet £1 per double.
Best win so far £48.70 and today picked up £16.30.
No doubt, I'll get brave and lose big time 

Tommo - did I tell you I had an addictive personality...

You're going to be in trouble with my missus for giving me that link

I wish you well JD with the missus.
No doubt you can shower her with gifts with all the money you win !!

I don't know how much money I lost on sports betting, but I have once won €65. My last bet was one or two weeks ago and I have lost €5.55.

Just threw a fiver on AC Milan to win the Champions League.

Worth a punt at 70/1 given their recent record in the competition.  It'll hopefully come in when they qualify and I can lay the bet to profit both ways.

I always try and have a bet on Captain Gerrard if I know the horse is running

Captain Gerrard and Striker Torres both running tomorrow at York.

Just won $120 ($90 profit) on the Melbourne Cup/East Farm races. Biggest betting day in Australia.

Well in Crouchie.

I had it on my list to bet for a place but decided to go against it. Since when did horses with stupid names win?

I was tempted to use 'horses with shocking names win?' but refrained

Tranquil Sea in the ryanair chase on Thursday, worth a punt.

Not sure if this is just a threas for football betting or if theres a different one for horses!

Got a tip for a horse running at cheltenham on thursday, not sure what time its at but 'big bucks' is running in it!

Ebadiyan, its 100/1 and im told that it should never be that price as its a great horse!

Definately worth an e/w punt!

Bloody hell just spent my last dollar in my account on a dud horse.

Flicking through the form guide and noticed Honk Kong racea at Sha Tin 16.30 Aussietime which would mean 5.30 GMT I think,

Race 2 Yan Chau Tong Handicap

I'm down about £20 today. Hate having days off .

Ended up ok mate, was down 150 but broke even! 

We should start a club, higgy. The 'I suck' club.

Having shocker after shocker.

Going to the dog racing in October for my mate's birthday, still don't understand betting properly.

If your having a bet, look at their times, form in that barrier, and their record at the track/distance. Helps plenty.

Just won $150! Got a free $100 bet from my online bookie and backed a $2.50 winner. You don't get the $100 they give you, only the profits but i'm not complaining

Nice one Crouchie.

2 days ago I was having a look at the form guide and noticed a horse at odds named Rafa.

Thought why the F**k not, put a fiver on it, forgot about it and it got up but only ended up paying 4 bucks for the win. Nice $20 in the account though, no complaints here.

I saw that racing, I missed out on it. Was going to get on it too for a little omen bet. Was either Rafa, or a Torres greyhound or something.

Opened another account simply to get the $100 free bet and won again. $210 this time. Will transfer in to my account and then shut that account down and keep the one open.

Just seeing this now Crouchy! I agree couldnt pick my nose yet i continue to do back them! Have a wee tenner treble today and need it to set me up for tomorrows racing! Going to Down Royal for a lads day out and its going to be very drunken therefore alot of stupid bets being done ha!

Beat in the first! Sounds about right!

Yesterday logged on 3 minutes before a race, saw it was 2000m and only one rider had a claim of 1.5kgs, thought put a dollar each way on it at 36 dollars on the tote. Got up, paid $70.70 for the win and $12 for the place. Happy days $82 dollars for a $2 investment. 

Who was that, AR?

Won on Wall Street and Moudre today. $20s at $7 and $6 respectively.

It was a race at Sale last Friday mate. Race 6 Number 3 Forever Fight ridden by Ben Knoebel.

Yep won on Moudre and Wall Street as well mate. Happy Days.

F***ing gutted. 

Looking at the races today and saw in the last race at Morphetville, horses called Rafa and Scouse running in the same race, have backed them both as winners before.

PM'd Crouchie to say to get on but he never responded.

Put them in in a boxed exacted to come 1st an2nd then looked at the form and thought put another exacta with the raging favourite (some F***ing other horse) and Rafa.

You wouldn't F***ing read about it but Scouse got up and paid $19.90 for the win and some donkey ran 2nd. Never put anything on Scouse by itself. 

I sent you a PM just now about it.

I just put $20s on each. Had UniTab dividends at $22.90 or something for Scouse. $400 odd.

I Quite Like The Sound Of Italy to Beat Australia In The Rugby Tommorow, with a handicap of +27

That got up! By the skin of your teeth.

Haha yeah just, been the opposite the past 2 days

USA to beat Australia with +60
France to beat New Zealand with +19

both lost by 2 points

arrrrrrghhhhhh

Not 100% sure of handicap betting, you mean you bet on whatever score France got +19 to beat the NZ score?

Yeah mate basically whatever the handicap is you add that to their score, and if their score+ the handicap is more than the other teams score (without handicap) you win

E.G New Zealand 37 - 17 France with a plus 18 handicap for france = 37 - 35 (bet loses)

had france kicked one more penalty so it was 37 - 20 the bet would have won by a point 37-38

Fancy Russia +51 today as ireland are resting most of there players

pheeeewwwww woke up to see 62 - 12 win by a point haha much better feeling than losing by a point

Not a lot of decent football about today, so going for darts instead

Adrian Lewis
James Wade
Phil Taylor

100 on Pays Back 192

Bugger just noticed taylor isnt till tommorow, i hate cross day betting

Adrian Lewis Can F**k Right Off, Won The First 5 Legs Then Completely Bottled It FFS

Had a £10 on each of the Liverpool vs Chelsea games at 3/1 for both so that was some quick money

Couldn't believe we were still 3/1 for the second game after already beating them, had to put another on.

Luckily, I didnt bet on the Fulham game.

Just won 500£ off a 10£ stake on the horses.

Broughtons Bandit @ 4/1 and Wicked Wench @9/1 double. Boom!

Had a sweep at work on Grand National, I randomly pick Neptune Collonges out of a hat, £2 a go, and it WONNN!!!!!!!! £100 for 1st place at work Oh my days!! Liverpool win then this, I like this day!!

Nice one ATK 

I picked second and third in the National, pity I didn't have any real money on  but after Liverpool's win, I wasn't to bothered.

Set up a BetFair online account the other day! Who lets me do these things!?

Heading in the right direction for good odds at least. Tipping sites are the way to go just google betting tips and save yourself the hardwork of finding a good bet. Also a good tennis tipping site I have found http://www.tennisbetting365.co.uk/

Tennis is the best sport to bet on. Especially during Grand Slams when there is ridiculous value everywhere.

Made about $2k the past week from the Aussie Open. Mainly from Stan Wawrinka winning in 3 vs Querrey @ $4.50.

Could of been much more but Lukas Kubot lost in 5 sets in the first round when it was the only leg in my 14 leg multi that lost.

On Radwanska and Ferrer today in a double. Radwanska in 3 and Ferrer in 4 sets @ $15.

Got a tip off me old man's mate. Very rare he pops up with one and i probably get 3 good to 1 bad off him.

Anyway:

Clondaw Knight in the 2.40 at Ascot today. Probably get 3/1 on it so I'll probably stick £30 on him.

Dog food.

Had a few quid on Merritt, Poulter and Furyk for the US PGA.  Don't think they'll win but think one of them might look handy enough that their odds will shorten and I can cashout.

Anyone had a go on Predict The Six yet?

www.predictthesix.com

Basically pay £1 and predict six anytime scorers from any Premier League game that weekend.

Can won £10K or a share.

Best bet sites please?

Would be my two recommendations above all others.

For horse racing only and ability to do some tricky combination bets that most other bookies wont take go for Racebets.

Avoid:

Betbright: Their best odds guaranteed don't work with multiples (found this out the hard way, backed a 11/4 and 7/2 double, came in at 3/1 5/1 and lost myself £300 due to them being complete dickheads.)

I would open an account with everyone though just to abuse the freebets, any time around major festivals is the best time to do this as they actually more attractive.

Good luck!

Dog food.

*Note about below, was written thinking you meant the Ebor which this horse ran in yesterday 

Only just saw this mate, I've won and lost a lot on that horse this year. When you look through the form of the winner (33/1) there was a good chance I could have picked it if it hadn't been off for over 400 days, great training performance.

Mullins (same trainer as Clondaw) nearly won the race with his second string Wicklow Brave who has cost me an enormous amount of money in the past.

My mate who is well into his athletics has given me some tips, but they're not the best prices in the world if anyone is interested:

Gone for an accumulator on:

Mo Farah (10k mens)
Kiprop (1500m mens)
Sum (800m womens)
Dibaba (1500m womens)
Ibarguen (Triple Jump womens)
Perkovic (Discuss womens)
Fajdlek (Hammer mens)

and a little mess about with having to get 6 out these 7:

Gatlin (100m mens)
Van Niekerk (400m mens)
B. Jackson (400m hurdles mens)
G. Rutherford (Long Jump mens)
Chichereva (High Jump womens)
Bartoletta (Long Jump womens)
Ennis-Hill (Heptathlon womens)

wont win loads if I got either up but it's nice to have a little interest.
