€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?

not decided yet but i think this bet has the best value!

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.

mike65

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!!

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.

Chucky the tree

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.

holy flup yer all mad where do ye get that kind of money to be just go into bookies and slap it up on the table.anymore tips?u sound like a good one;)
biggest bet i ever placed was a 100squids on a sure thing got him at 8/1 morning prices coming up to race he was favourite.sure thing ffs he came 4th:(

Chucky the tree

Lesson number 1 - a sure thing doesnt exist.

eirebhoy

If you can get odds on Cannavaro winning FIFA World Player of the Year then lump on. He started off at about 7/2 and he was odds on within the last week. Coral and Ladbrokes seem to be confused as they have the market up some days and not others. I'd say if Betfair had the market up he'd be about 1/5.

kincsem

Its not the amount you bet, its the liability that concerns the bookies.

Many years ago Ladbrokes had a £500 liability limit, meaning the shop staff had to phone head office, and get the ok to take the bet. I assumed it was to get the phone ringing in head office if there were a lot of bets on the same horse. Every Saturday I waited at the counter as they got clearance.

What the do in the computer age I don't know. If you want €2000 on a 1/2 shot they will take those bets all day. But if you want €2000 on a 25/1 shot then you have no chance.

You're looking for a sure thing. Bookmaking is run on sure-things. Everyone who bets think they have a sure-thing. Reality intrudes.

You can only make money by knowing what the crowd does not know.

I have plenty of money for a guy who doesnt work

It wasnt a sure thing if he only came in 4th
What chuncky said no such thing as a sure bet.

I dont really put my bet's on here unless im very sure it will win.

well i was told by the jockey i could put my house on him just aswell i didnt:rolleyes: plenty money for a fella dat dosnt work what do you do con people:p anyway keeping my eye out for that sure thing:eek: champions lge chelsea 1-1 draw.liverpool psv 0-0:D .if you could get gonzales to be 1st goal scorer it would be worth a punt hes playing alrite lately.man utd celtic id also go with Kenny miller to get first goal.
*i will not be liable for any loses but wins thats a differant story:cool:

joebhoy1916

LOL nope dont do that either.

Well you can take this whatever way you want but im very tempted to put the whole lot of my money the profit plus my €2750 on Celtic draw no bet very big IMO at 7/4 :eek:

I dont think united will beat them at home so 13/5 isnt bad but for a safer option draw no bet at 7/4 seems like a great bet to me.

It's times like this you have to bet with the head and not with the heart. I think Man U will beat Celtic comfortably on Tuesday.

Best of luck anyway.

Not at parkhead they wont.

Well if you think they will win easy there even money shot.

Alex would be happy with a draw so would Celtic but i would say they will be going for the win if celtic draw benfica win celtic might still be a head in goal difference.

I am betting with my head Celtic are no good way from home well not bad when they could manage 3-2 at United's home ground but when Celtic are at home it's a different story.

maybe maybe not:D nah dis fellas got quality hes playing well in the champions lge so why not.hes due a good game why not against psv 12/1 isnt bad i put €4 on him hey im a really high roller lol high:rolleyes:
another good bet would be a 1-1 draw at 5/1 Paddy power odds.
no im not on drugs just to let you know:cool:

From Celtic's last 25 home games in Europe they've only lost once (and won 19). That match was against Barca when Larsson came off the bench to make one and score another for Barca. Maybe Utd will win but it certainly won't be a comfortable win.

ErinGoBrath

Ok, ok point taken on Celtic. We'll have to wait and see what happens on the night.

Either way I'm hoping it'll be a classic encounter.

United have won once away from home in Europe (not including the champions league qualifiers) since 2003/04 champions league (when they won 2 out of 4). That's a total of 1 win from 9 games, the majority were losses too I think.

Bateman

I fancy United here. If they had won in Copenhagen, they might not be so bloody minded, but they didn't, and they will.

~Rebel~

Over quadruple your money on Celtic draw AND a Chelsea draw double.

Celtic great at home, United in great form, could def see a draw, meanwhile Chelsea benefit from dropping points as it makes life very very hard for Barca. Think will field a slightly understrength side as already qualified, and Werder are a quality team, were unlucky to lose at home to chelsea.

Chucky the tree

United and chelsea at the weekend. Huge match, so expect both fergie and jose to have an eye on that. Jose will probaly rest a few players, all united need is a draw.

He said he's tempted to put it on Celtic, draw no bet. You get your money back if it's a draw.
