    So another weekend is upon us and the bookies need our money!

    So come on people lets be having your bets...

    I think Sunderland @ 11/10 is a decent bet.
    City away form is dismal and Sunderland are on a high after 3 wins on the trot

    1 Dundee v Stirling (Backing Dundee @ 1.22)
    2 Lyon v Rennes (Backing Lyon @ 1.45)
    3 Partick v Rangers (Backing Rangers @ 1.27)
    4 Hamburg v Duisburg (Backing Hamburg @ 1.36)
    5 Arbroath v E Stirling (Backing Arbroath @ 1.56)

    I never bet on City but if I was I'd probably go with us not to score so either a draw or a home win.

    So any tasty bets for the United match? If Tevez starts I'd say he's guaranteed to score pretty much... 2/1, meh

    He's 13/1 to get 2+ goals though

    I might go for the insure bet again on Ronaldo @ 23/10.

    United to score their 1st goal in the 1st half + Arsenal not to score, €15 returns €60

    Gallas to score a header in 90 mins = 25/1... that aint a bad one

    Think I'll wait and see the lineup. Knowing Fergie, Tevez will probs be on the bench :rolleyes:

    man utd 10-11
    rangers 1-5
    celtic 4-5
    chelsea 1-5
    sheff wed 13-10


    return of 11.38 for 1

    I think I had the best winner for the weekend. Spent about €1.40 on scorecast bets (not ingo big money, just for fun).

    Got Adebayor to score first and United to win 2-1 @ 75-1!!!

    10 cent bet, €7.60 back!!! Even if nothing I've bet on for the masters comes up, that more than covers all my last week's spending! I'm a happy man.

    Fair play! :D But sure ya lose that running for the bus ;) lol

    Nice prediction though

    I got my insurebet back on Ronaldo... lost a tenner on other bets though. Ahh well

    Wigan 12/1 to win today! :D I'd almost entertain a draw @ 9/2, but nah, can't see it

    Cheers. I like to put on a few scorecast bets - about one euro's worth, then make another one or two bets that I think will almost certainly make back that euro, getting a free ride on the scorecasts at high odds. It's been phenomenal with Rooney, Ronaldo and Tevez for united recently. Have made returns on quite a number of these.


    EDIT: Was only able to check my Paddy Power now since the weekend and got my golf earnings:

    Before the tournament placed:

    Top European Player
    Harrington, Padraig @ 4 - 1
    Cost: €0.25
    Returns: €1.25

    To Finish in the Top 10
    Harrington, Padraig @ 6 - 4
    Cost: €0.60
    Returns: €1.50

    After the second round placed:
    Top European Player
    1/3 places 1,2
    Harrington, Padraig @ 10 - 1
    Cost: €0.50
    Returns: €3.83



    So that combined with my soccer winfall made it a good weekend!
