    Withdraws and foolish football bets are reducing the size of my 50 units... :(


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 18,123 Mod ✭✭✭✭CatFromHue


    My 50 units won't be deposited until the Rabo starts, maybe even the second week of it.

    I don't know enough about French rugby to get involved.

    Racing were a write off, but Argentina can get me back on track later.

    I'm having a rotten weekend so far. I need usap to come in.


  • Registered Users Posts: 14,681 ✭✭✭✭P_1


    Lost on Racing, recklessly put 10 units on a treble of

    Casters @ 1/16
    Toulouse @ 1/9
    Canada @ 2/7


  • Registered Users Posts: 45,433 ✭✭✭✭thomond2006


    Wow just wow. Just Bordeaux and Argies left, called everything else wrong. :(


  • Registered Users Posts: 45,433 ✭✭✭✭thomond2006


    So it begins....

    Bank: 50 units
    • 1.5 units (10/11) Perpignan -7 :(
    • 1 unit (10/11) Bordeaux Begles scr :(
    • 1 unit (10/11) New Zealand -14 :(
    • .5 units (10/11) Clermont -8 :(
    • .25 units (10/11) Argentina +14 :)
    • .25 units (7/2) Racing Métro to win :(
    New Bank after bets: 45.5 units

    A small bet on the Argies prevents a total wipeout, but in reality it is. :(

    New Bank: 45.98 units


  • Registered Users Posts: 10,724 ✭✭✭✭Pudsy33


    My first win of the season with Argentina/Australia gets me to 46 units

    And here's me still very happy with my 50 units!

    Real rugby is starting soon though. We'll see how long that lasts.

    Balance now stands at 50.17 units, hey profit is profit :o


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,549 ✭✭✭✭Judgement Day


    My new strategy of sleeping on it paid off again this weekend and my balance is now almost four times what it was at the start of last weekend. Going for first half points - even with the ABs can be tricky - but less chancy than many other predictions. Try scorers can also be hit and miss but after Ben Smith's hat trick in Australia, 13/8 to score an anytime try was too good to pass up on.

    Sorry for more after timing but given that I didn't decide on my bets until 4 mins before the game...:D

    2.5 units on Stade Franciais -14...


  • Registered Users Posts: 45,433 ✭✭✭✭thomond2006


    After last weekend's disaster I'm taking a break this week!


  • Registered Users Posts: 37,978 ✭✭✭✭irishbucsfan


    I was going to begin this week but I got caught up in work so couldnt "do" my "research"

    (This is in no way related to Thomond not doing his and me not being able to copy him)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,549 ✭✭✭✭Judgement Day


    I'm staying from betting this weekend too. Thomond could have started a trend...won't somebody think of Paddy Power and the lifestyle he has grown accustomed to. :D

    Balance now 56.6 units


  • Registered Users Posts: 14,681 ✭✭✭✭P_1

    Oyonnax have sent the seconds, so Racing should put a big score on them.


  • Registered Users Posts: 14,681 ✭✭✭✭P_1


    Shocker from Racing, think I'll oppose them going forward.

    5 units on Toulon -6

    Always risking betting on a team away from home

    Always risking betting on a team away from home

    Indeed, down to 48.1 units now :(


  • Registered Users Posts: 14,681 ✭✭✭✭P_1


    More Top 14 tomorrow, some crazy things have been happening with some of the handicaps. Perpignan started out at -12 at home to Grenoble, they're -21 now.

    Going to change tactics for this round, taking a .25 unit Yankee on:
    Clermont -21
    Castres -10
    Oyonnax -4
    Toulouse -9

    Oyonnax -4 :mad: I hate late bet-killing tries

    Paddy decided to give me one of those free games bet things so the balance is now 49.02 units

    New to this bettiing malarkey but saw that the Olympics 2020 were Madrid, Istanbul and Tokyo. Assumed Istanbul are unlikely to get it so in a 2 horse race is it free money?
    Got Madrid with Ladbrokes @ 11/4 and Tokyo @ 5/6 ,the only way I can lose is if Istanbul gets nominated (which is probably what will happen)

    Are there any online accounts offering bonuses for joining up?

    I hope you've done your sums right. With even stakes on both Madrid and Tokyo a Tokyo Olympics @5/6 will leave you out of pocket.
