The Assault on Paddy Power

    Day in day out Paddy Power are making an absolute fortune and i'd like to get back the money back ive lost over the years.



    Im going to start with a bank of 100 euro with an aim to double it. I dont have a deadline and not going to predict how long it will take me. I'll be betting on GAA, Premier League, Championship and bit of Rugby.



    Ive realised where my mistakes are and hopefully now keeping a log i'll be on the way to profit.

    Potential returns 3.33

    How much have u lost over the years? Because you're going to be a long time getting it back with bets like that!

    No point backing Kilkenny at that price.

    Especially for just 33 cent profit.

    100-150 about on accumulators, singles matches over the past few years so not much.

    I'll be staying away accumulators there is just no point as they rarely come through.

    I dont see Kilkenny losing to waterford. Wateford rely on few players and if they have a bad day they'll get beaten. Yeah the odds are crap, i dont intend for every one of my bets to be at these odds.

    A win is a win I suppose. Might get the confidence up and get you on a winning streak. ;)

    Best of luck with the log anyway!

    If you've only lost €150 over a few years you're not doing much wrong, that's only €1/week.

    Putting 3% of your betting bank on a 1/9 shot doesn't tally with that record though me thinks :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 121 ✭✭paddylast


    Like I said I dont intend to put all on my bets at odds like this.

    I dont see Kilkenny losing to Waterford. Its a small stake, no bet is guaranteed. Its not like im putting 10-15% on it.

    A win is a win and every little helps.

    Already you are taking -ev bets. Thats your problem.

    if you cant price up an event you shouldnt bet it.

    as far as bet sizing, you cant bet too little, only too much.

    E150, pffft! Are you one of those 50c ew on the favourite punters? Used to hate that working in the bookies many moons ago.

    why not make some constructive critism..... :rolleyes:


  • Posts: 23,339 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Statistically a €2.41 profit from a wisely used betting bank of €100 over two weeks when the number of bets has been less than prolific is quite good really, if you keep this up you'll be flying.

    Better to win €2.41 than lose it in my book :)

    Gambling in public is less than easy, 'tis easy to criticise though if you are so inclined.

    Thanks, I thought this was good value seeing as Man City has spent alot of money on strikers this year.
