    Usually click at least one mad accum over a year that nets a grand or so, didn't happen this year unfortunately! Had a correct score double of 2-2 and 3-1 in the champs league quarter finals for Bayern/Juve and Barcelona/Arsenal games that was nice. Also had a big bet on Norway corners against Estonia (I think ) in the Euro play offs second leg game, think they racked up 16 corners in the away game and were 1-0 down for the home leg and the line was 5.5. Nothing else standing out for me for 2016. How was your 2016 betting wise? I've stopped doing singles due to moving to London so am just doing small crazy accums, am definitely down for the year. Anyone click any nice bets in 2016??

    Not a monster and not a football one but I did Thistlecrack to win the King George. Placed in October @ 8/1 as soon as declared he was 11/8

    Cruised it never in trouble and it felt beautiful.

    That was 2014. (edit: here )
    Was one of my finer tips. Everything i expected to happen as written in the preview of that, did happen.

    Scored 7 from 8 bets on that one i think (9 from 10 even...). Just Huntelaar let the AGS down as if I didnt hate him enough already.

    a few good ones in the Euros, esp Ukraine lowest team scorers and Portugal to win the final in ET. Also Ronaldo/Real CL winner/ts double.
    probably a bit down for the year...

    The Gurkha winning the French guineas
    Denver on the spreads & money line for the Super Bowl

    Two that spring to mind

    Aside from the boasting it's actually a useful exercise
