    Nope not an accum....playing with skybets money so thats why the 2gs keep 500 for galway races...think pac-man is finished as a boxer...but as we all know never say never.....their is a few fights in their which could go either way but im going with my head not heart on this running bet as i always bet with my heart and it costs to much

    BET 1...........Timothy bradley 13/8(Pacquiao) 2000 RETURNS 5250

    A bit of advice,don't do it. Them fights are way too risky and the value in some of them are quite poor. I haven't a clue on your financial circumstances but the average Joe wouldn't have 2 grand to play around with. It's a bit of a fallacy to think that your not losing money that you just won.

    Cheers for that but i have my mind made up to do this for a while since i won a few quid....1st bet done so its to late.................I know in my heart and soul i would just loose the lot on horses footie bets and poker anyway so im gonna stick to these fights and if they roll over till the last i will have enough cash for a nice holiday with the missus and kids to asia for a month or 2

    That is not a good way to think when betting, the money is not Skybets, it's now yours, you won it so keep it. The mindset of "oh it's the bookies money so it doesn't matter" is not a good way to think. Keep your money and enjoy it on yourself.

    No wonder it's the bookie that's driving the merc. A fool and his money are soon parted. Lining Paddy Power's pocket.

    Heres how (or at least the way I do it)

    1. Open up the screen you want too take a picture of.
    2. Click "Prt Scrn" on your keyboard, it just be located on the right side of your keyboard just above insert. It also should have Sys Rq written right underneath it.
    3. Open up your paint application, click edit then click paste.
    4. Use paint too cover up any other details that you don't want disclosed such as your real name, bank account details or anything else that you don't want people too see.
    5. Click save as, it will open up a tab, name the file.
    6. Underneath naming the file it will ask you for a file type, click it, scroll down and saved it as a JPEG
    7. Go too an upload site such as tinypic.com
    8. upload the file and post the link here or the image here

    seems like alot of work but really only takes 2mins
    could be other ways of doing it but this is how I always done it :P

    Also I done the same bet as you :D except not 2grand, I done one tenth of that ;) best of luck man should be a good fight

    Just read this thread .................... what a joke.

    You must be a multi millionaire or something , it takes a bet that size to create the buzz ?

    So sorry for your loss mate - but that's fckin wreckless gambling right there.
    No thought put into it at all , you didn't even get the best odds at 13/8.

    You should have been getting 9/4 , so even if you won you would have been throwing away hundreds on your first bet alone.

    You could always stick your last 500 on Japan to win the world cup - then take a trip to Asia with your winnings.

    There most certainly was no bet.
