    Stop coming across as a condescending arsehole. He has an opinion.

    ahh no need to be using language like that now in fairness.
    yes he has an opinion of course but i do to,
    and for someone not to believe/follow the rule of value just doesnt make sense to me anyways,
    if you dont look for value in a bet then you might as well play the lotto.
    just my thoughts as always,

    never meant to cause this much of a fuss because of 1 post,it was obviously taken the wrong way.

    Cavehill Red, well done on getting the 800% but none of it was logged on boards so you cant say much,100% of my world cup bets were logged,

    after we compare or accounts maybe then we can share our secrets..:rolleyes:
    say no more....

    Isn't this what this thread is for?

    Lads can we cut the crap and be civil to each other

    If this keeps up we will have to lock the thread to prevent this sort of thing and we don't want to do that

    Nice win and I wouldn't post but for your theory of value.
    One bet doesn't matter a jot.
    It's why losers keep gambling. People really think that getting a winner means they are doing something right.

    I didn't offer a theory on value. I merely questioned the faith-based belief in 'value' betting that many punters adhere to. Let's face it, no one can tell the future. What we endeavour to do is divination. With the exception of arbing or hedging to lock in profit, there is no such thing as a value bet, because anything can happen, and your bet can lose.
    With my perspective, there is no codding myself that 'at least it was good value to be on that' when a bet fails, which is the flip side of the loser who gets a winner you refer to.

    But some people try to make a profit and others bet for a pastime. Nothing wrong with either of them.
    It was a nice win and of course watching 7 results come your way makes an evens bet feel more satisfying.

    I was churning free bets into cash on a Euro qualifier week. I coulda lumped them on Besiktas at 1.01 and got a teeny but real profit, or I coulda stuck them on possible outsiders, or I coulda done what I did do.
    As I said, I don't often place accumulators. Singles around the evens mark are where I make the bulk of my cash.

    This thread shouldn't exist. It in direct violation of everything gambling threads and forums have been created for. Its just a place to boast, show off, and judge. Worst thing to happen to the Gambling forum.

    •The third rule of the Gambling forum is you do not afterpost. The fourth rule of the Gambling forum is you do not afterpost. The fifth rule of the gambling forum…. You get the idea. Afterposting is coming on here telling everybody about how much you won off a 12 fold accumulator. Unless you posted it on the forum beforehand, no-one cares. It’s very frowned upon around these parts.

    Look, if the mods had a problem with it, it would have been shut already. Invariably gamblers lose money or at least don't make very much, but when they do they like to tell everybody about it and people like to hear about it too. I think this thread was a great idea, if you're not a fan you don't have to post here or read any of it!

    OK I am quoting myself because it appears that people didn't see it the first time (that is what I am chosing to believe so I don't have to ban people)

    I have deleted some posts to clear the thread up a bit

    If people ignore this warning again they will be banned

    Yes that is in the charter but it wasn't stopping people from doing it

    By having this catch all thread it stops people from doing it in other threads (at least it seems to, I haven't noticed it much since this thread started)

    We are just trying it out and it seems to be working

    If after timing annoys you this much then it is very easy to avoid this thread

    if anyone has a problem with the Moderation of the forum then please feel free to PM us or post in the forum feedback thread while it is open

    I was going to argue this but maybe it's not for this thread.
    One question do you bet for fun or for profit?

    We are total opposites in our approach to gambling which is fair enough.
    My way works for me, I hope yours works for you.

    I agree this is a potentially useful debate, but not one for this thread. I was going to say a bit of both, but to be honest, I probably have more fun enjoying events I don't have money on. So I'm going to say profit.

    As I suspect is the same with yourself, some you win and some you lose. I did have an excellent World Cup though.

    Yeah the in play GAA bets are my favorite bet and the easiest to exploit. I don't have it worked out in a percentage but i reckon i'm in and around the 85% mark in terms of success on them. The only bet i've lost on it in a long time was the last Kilkenny hurling match.

    Well done Conamara, great bet and great winnings.

    Someone from my local village had 10 e/w on him at 250/1, unreal win, how he picked him out no one knows!

    Great when you get that return. Especially considering it came from just a 20 euro risk. Congrats. Looked a difficult one to call in that weather.

    if you look back last week at the picks for the Barclays you'll see i tipped him up @90/1 ,thought about him but he kinda went out of my head,stupid of me as he's always been a great driver and a great wedge player,i just didn't think he'd have the putting or the balls to win,.......how wrong i was

    Biggest ever horse bet to-date, biggest winner in general to date.:D Got a tip last night, so threw it on at SP, which turned out to be 9/4, could have got him at 4/1 early today in Paddy Powers.:mad:

    Please for the love of God people, never EVER select SP for horse racing bets, even if it's the night before just get up at 10am, place it and go back to sleep!

    Well done Gav. :)

    Tell me about it man, but well I don't do mornings and wouldn't have trusted myself to get up.:D Between a few of us there was about €2,000 returned on that horse (the lad who gave me the tip his dad got 1,200 back).:D

    Nice. Made a few squid on it myself. Pretty much keeping me afloat for tomorrow after a few losses during the day (more or less punts in anticipation fo this tip).
