    Hi guys, I'm a long time follower of boards yet this is my first post.

    I just put on a €1000 accumulator bet on Ireland, Man United, Newcastle and Tottenham all to win. I'm not a wealthy man and this is last chance saloon stuff. I'll see over 30 grand if it comes off. Can everyone that sees this please cross their finger for the underdog. Thank you.

    I apologize for my first post here being a plea of desperation and I'm sure I'll get and probably deserve some abuse for what I've done but I've decided to leave it in the lap of the gods. Any feedback is welcome.

    TBH I just wanted to hear reactions. I know its a stupid thing to do and I haven't done it before but I'm sure alot of us casual bettors have fantasied about landing the big one. Would you ever chance it?

    Put a grand on the probability of predicting 4 wins in a row?

    Ehhh... I'd have to do a lot of recon work first! :pac:

    I'd love to disagree with you but you're right. Not sure where the rest of my thread is, I think its in AH where I originally posted it, there's a copy of the slip there if you're interested.

    Balls of steel man. Without a doubt, it's a ridiculous thing to do.

    I really, really hope it works out for you though :)

    Idle, how long does it take you to earn a grand?


  • Registered Users Posts: 9,764 ✭✭✭thesandeman


    Coughlan?

    You're crazy! :o

    It's hard enough to pick four odds-on winners at times! Your lowest odds are @1.44 and even that match could easily go either way. Your other three teams are @2.10, 2.75, and 3.50 and are all matches I would have trouble predicting the winner.

    All I can say is good luck, but I worry for your bet, especially if it's money you can not afford to lose.

    And Demba Ba gets the ball rolling.

    Man Im actually gonna say a prayer for you this comes in, 30k would be unreal.

  • Registered Users Posts: 2,256 ✭✭✭FlawedGenius


    Ireland will let u down and maybe Spurs.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 18,335 ✭✭✭✭UrbanSea


    Is everyone fairly confident of a United win?


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,408 ✭✭✭ft9


    Yes. Haha

    Stop fretting man


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 18,335 ✭✭✭✭UrbanSea

    Hope you have some money spare to lay off if the Spurs match will be the decider on your bet.

    Brave you are.

    Pretty disappointing but obviously this was always the likely outcome of this bet. Maybe I'll learn somthing from it, probably not though.

    If you haven't already learned anything then you can forget it

    Wow, if you don't learn anything from putting down 1k on a 30/1 bet which loses you should never gamble man, seriously. Put your money in an investment fund or something, risking 1000 isn't advisable on these kind of things :eek:
