€2000 Bet

JoeSixpack

Hi everyone, Long time lurker, first time poster!!

Gonna place a bet tomorrow on 1 game for €2000 looking for a return of at least €1000. Looking for as near as i can get to a sure thing.

Anytime i do bet i always bet big on a 1 of game. Have only lost once doing this but obvoisly i lost big(€1200 on Ireland losing:eek: )

This will be the biggest bet i have placed. I only really know about the premiership so bet on that and the few tips i get on this forum.

Any thoughts on what i should place it on bearing in mind that i am looking for as close to a sure thing as possible.

Your advice is much appriciated.

Doesn't exist. 'A sure thing' will never be priced at better than 1/2.

€2000 on Chelsea/Arsenal double returns €3200, roughly

That does sound like a good bet and yeah i know there is no such thing as a "sure thing".

Think im gonna put it all on Sunderland to beat Colchester. Returns €3600

Any thoughts?

Any other suggestions?

StephenInsane

Mind if i ask how you're going to place the bet? Just gonna walk into a bettingshop and bet a grand?

StephenInsane

and if you want my tip. Erin's Own to beat Wolfe Tones at 4/5 in Ladbrokes. Good bet and a good price.

If you have to come onto an internet forum to get reassurance, Id say keep your money in your pocket.

I say fair balls

I think chelsea and arsenal is a good double.

Newcastle NEVER win in London and Chelsea are hard to bet against right now (Drogba is great form).

I'm betting all of 80 on that double! Assuming team news is as expeced.

Still nobodys answered my question. Can you just walk into a bookies and slap 2 grand on the table? Is that a regular occurance?

Of course you can do this with any of the major bookies, provided it's not on something easily fixable, where they would have limits. With premiership matches, it's basically unlimited.

wyndham

Joe6, did you make a bet then?

Don't be telling us at 5 o'clock when it's all done and dusted!

I want to feel some of your gambling buzz as it happens!!

mike65

Henry on the bench!

Course you can there bookies

Although I went into PP one day to put on a bet for €4000 they wouldnt take it they said the most they could take was €700 I never bothered doing the bet thank god because I would have been really ill if I did do it.

Oh JoeSix I hope you didnt do the bet but if you did hope all goes well for ya. Amazing they can beat Liverpool 3-0 at home so far cant beat Newcastle although Henry is on now.

I knew you TECHNICALLY could, but i presumed it was a situation where they would refuse your bet if it was too risky for them.

I knew a girl who worked in a bookies and she told me bets of this kind of magnitude were very rare, and that if you tried to put on over a certain amount they'd ask you into the office before accepting it.

Into the office?

They ring there main office if the bet is over a certain amount. The main will tell them id they can do it or not the like's of PP are good for nothnig ***** to be honest. If you go there to do a big bet they start asking them on the phone is he local does he look like a young person or old person and so on.

Not too sure about this but prity sure Betfair had offten taking bets maybe hundreds of thousands.

If you go to a bookies to do a big bet the small ones wont take it. But if you were trying just go in if they say no say fine ill bring my business somewhere else and never go back into that bookies.

JoeSixpack

I didn't place the bet. Wish i had of put it on Sunderland now!!

I normally place big bets online. The biggest one was €1200 on Ireland and that was taken no problem.

Do you think there would be a problem betting €2000 online?

wba88

i was going to tell you to put it on wba to win but i 4got to post, sorry

joebhoy1916

Joe your full of rubbish to be honest.

You come on here asking how to make a thousand and the boys gave you a bet now your either to chicken to say you lost your money or as I just said full of rubbish. You even said yourself it has best value.

Now I bet my ass if the bet came in you would be saying oh thank you your after making me a nice few pound keep your tips coming and blah blah blah.

Why dont you ring the company who you are with or email them and ask them if it's ok for you to place a bet for this so called €2,000 then you will have your answer. Most betting shops though of course will that this bet even if it was 1/4, why you say the answer is the bookies always wins.

The only limit on betfair is the amount of money you can get matched. If you can 1 million match, you can bet 1 million. Getting 2grand on a premiership or even championship match would be easy.

joebhoy1916

Well if you are serious about the bet here is one I would do with that kinda money.

Denmark League

Silkeborg v Odense

Silkeborg have lost 5 matches in a row, they still haven't won on their own turd and have generally been less than impressive at home.
It looked good last week against Brøndby, but the out of form team still managed to beat SIF 3-1.

It has been looking very good for OB this season, with many thinking them the best title-challenger. Before last round, that is. Last round they lost to FCN, in a very even match.

Silkeborg will most likely be missing influental midfielder Michal Hansen and will definately be without the services of Peter Degn.
OB will only be missing marginal player Magne Sturød

Odense are in 3rd place Silkeborg are in 11th place. Brøndby that beat them last week 3-1 are in 7th place. Should be easy win IMO.

Oh yeah game is on tomorrow.

7/10 Ladbrokes. Id say they would take two grand bet.

€1,400 profit if it comes in.

Bateman

In theory, the bookies shouldn't be refusing bets of that amount, as they can hedge either with other bookies or on betfair.

Having said that, I know a lad who had 150 quid on Shels to win the league at 2/1, and when he collected in Ladbrokes today, they had to phone head office before paying out; which is stupid, they should have everything in order. Being one of the supposed "big 3" in England, you'd expect €450 from Saturday's float to be chicken feed for a Ladbroked office, but then they're a joke and have been for a long time.

joebhoy1916

Well I hope you took my advice.

1-3. Had a nice win myself on it
€2,750 @ 8/11 nice €2,000 profit.
