Boasts, Brags and General Stuff

5starpool

OK, after a suggestion in another thread and chatting to other mods, we'll give this a go.

The general purpose of this thread is to post big wins, big losses, near misses, and gnerally just put anytihng that doesn't deserve it's own thread. A lot of forums have their own off topic type threads and if you feel like sharing any off topic stuff with th eforum posters, this is the place for it.

General rules apply in here, but mostly it's common sense. If this isn't working or not popular then we can just let it die.

I'll go first so.

I'm on McIlroy at 150/1 for the British Open. Had 50e/w with Hills a few months ago when he started his run of form and his price has been plummeting since. Already looking forward to Turnberry this year!

Kdub

I had Vadasco €10 e/w paying 125-1 he just lost to nadal in 5 sets oh so close!!:( it was a free bet promo on pp!! so close

Browney7

Wow, that was a prety good shout.

My longest shot bet to come in was a 387.5/1 4 team to win their leagues bet in 1994/95.

Blackburn
Middlesborough
Birmaingham
Rangers

Only had £2 on it, but nearly £800 for a student at the time was a lot of drinking money.

I wish i could claim full credit for the bet but it was a tip from a mate who actually knows about golf.

I had Sol Campbell 1st scorer in the Arsenal v Barcelona Champions League Final a few years ago, just a €5- bet but it was 50/1!!!

When Henry dropped the cross on his ball-o-lead I nearly killed my dog which was lying on my lap at the time. Happy Days.:D

Had a 10 match accum on the premiership a few years back. First 9 games came in and then on super sunday it was Chelsea against Birmingham I think.

Had a home win down for Chelsea and they missed a penalty with a couple of minutes left and the game finished 1-1

That peno cost me about €4500 :mad:

You really should of stuck a monkey on lay for chelsea

Boast: sent my suit to dry cleaners for cleaning, the Latvian lady found a betting slip in the pocket and kept it for me.

good: the bet was a cska/udinese double i did for uefa cup last week so it was a winner

bad: the hot Latvian(i've chanced at least 3 times now) dis-approves of gambling:rolleyes:

5starpool

You obviously didn't ein enough on it to impress the latvian. Next time make a bogus slip that has won, and make sure to write something like 1000 @ 33/1 and ham it up when she gives it back to you that you have won a shítload of dosh and ask her to dinner to celebrate.

That'll get her

Warning, might not work if you are penniless and can't carry it off.

I had O'Drioscall @ 12/1 to score the first try yesterday. Happy with that one

Fancied Fulham yesterday too ... but not enough to put my money on it!

5starpool

I hope you don't fancy Fulham in their next league game

orourkeda

I did a 20c bet on 5 numbers in the irish lotto about 6 months ago at
100000\1 on paddypower and got 4 of them. one number off a 20 grand score

lilywhites1982

I know not many would fancy Dundalk tonight against Cork City but I think that they are a good tip for an upset. I just threw a small bet on Declan O'Brien to score anytime during the 90 minutes and Dundalk to win @ 60/1 with Paddy Power. I couldn't believe the price! I know Dundalk played pretty poor against Shamrock Rovers but when they're backs are against the wall they will come out fighting.

scruff321

villa west ham match (crackin game btw) with about 15mins to go i legged it onto the computer to have a glance at spoilsports live prices, saw draw was 13/2 in the villa game with villa 1-0 thought the next goal could go either way and west ham were pressing,was a good price stuck a fiver on it and booya tristan ya beaut :cool:

My GAA team are doing €20 bets every week from now until the end of the season to raise funds for a holiday. Different player makes the bets every week. One of the lads stuck a tenner on 4-4 in the Liverpool Arsenal game on Tuesday. €5000 in our fund. Dubai here we come

ArmaniJeanss

7 selections today, 50c Trebles, 4folds, 5folds, 6folds, €1 7fold.
€50 stake in total.

Managed to get Ipswich, 9/2, Walsall 9/1 and Accrington 11/4 for one €105 treble.
But a load of shorter priced ones let me down for serious cash.

scheister

had a 5 e/w double in clomel. american prince at 11/2 and sadlers native 5/1 returns were around €225 which would have made it my biggest win ever/ 1st came in a winner 2nd lost by 3/4 lenght was gutted got back €26

Collie D

Two weekends in a row have been done on Sunday in golf. Backed at start of both tournaments Tim Clark at 33/1 and Nick Dougherty at 20/1. Both tied for lead after first round, tailed off a bit on Friday (a fair bit in Dougherty's case) and tied for lead going into final round. Clark bogeys the 18th on Sunday before losing on play-off and did not even back him each way for some reason. Dougherty has a disastrous 79 today to finish in tie for 37th.

Watch out next week for my selection. Could be an excellent oportunity for a back and lay job.

Walsh

It's not really my brag but me aulfella won 690 quid on Richard Dunne last night the fecking fecker!

Irishbugger

Have a few quid on Mike Weir @ 80's at the minute, also Garcia and Villegas, though obviously more excited about Weir! All each way except Villegas as I forgot to click the button online, rooops, still he looks buggered anyway.

Best bet ever placed? United for the treble in 99 @ 125/1, placed the day before the Liverpool cup match. Good times.

Hi by the way.

glanman

In this years sigerson cup paddypower never changed the odds on the winners after the semis. Both CIT and DIT were 5/2 to win it outright and both qualified for the final. It said on the bottom that the betting was closing the next day at 12pm so I lumped €1000 on each and they took the bets! I couldnt believe it. Checked the account an hour later and the bet was still there so I was winning €1500 either way. Next day, match was on they emailed and cancelled my bets:( took them on about it but the ruled prior knowledge... gutted

backed cork at 9/4 to win the munster before the first semi, come on the rebels:)
