Other sports bets

wb

I know this is not about horses, but being gamblers, you lot may be able to tell me if there an area on this forum where people post about other sports betting?

i.e. soccer, football and hurling.


I don't want to post in the respective sections if it is done elswhere.

Thanks

At the moment Wayne there isn't a general Gambling Forum. There was a substantial amount of interest in it in the FORUMS area and as a result there is something in the pipeline.

Thanks fade. Is it bad ettiquite to post sports bets here, or do the others do so?

A few have tried, even less have succeeded.

The forum is just so small that we couldn't accommodate it. There is a darts forum though....and a soccer forum..and a GAA one etc. For now that's the only way unfortunately. That'll all change soon though.

A sub-forum off the soccer forum would be the business.

Most of my gambling is done through footy accumulators :v:

First Goalscorer (Win or Each Way)
S Eto'o @ 5 - 1

if any of ye watched the matched you'll know that chelsea got the first goal (albeit an own-goal) .. so why did paddy power pay out on Eto'o getting the first?

Own goals don't count in the goalscorer market.

i thought that maybe it was a paddypower special or something..
