    About time the season started. 100 units balance.

    Munster, Glasgow and Connacht to win. 15 units.

    I had a Ulster to beat Dragons down originally but thought about it and reckoned it was being greedy and went for a treble only. Slow and steady wins the race.

    God loves a chancer and things certainly weren't looking great for Leinster (13-7) when I stuck my bet on. Whatever happened to the great Leinster tradition of losing the first game of the season? :D

    Scarlets+vs+Leinster.PNG

    All Blacks vs Argentina tomorrow....more than 18.5 in the first half - possibly, and Dan Carter a try at 15/8, Ben Smith a try at 1/2 (crap odds but he's looking like a try scoring machine (5 tries in two tests)..and a small bet on the All Blacks to win by -48 at 11/2.

    At the risk of queering Munster's chances tomorrow I fancy Casey Laulala for a try at 11/5 and Ian Keatley at 11/2. Pity that the match is in the field.

    After a stressful morning which ultimately saw me emptying my account onto SA to beat Aus by more than 5 points at 10/11 (offered by PP at halftime!!) I am back almost precisely where I started the day. Hopefully the Connacht and Munster games will be more fruitful. :D

    Aus+vs+SA.PNG


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,782 ✭✭✭P.C.


    After SA beat Aus my balance is now 55.

    Stared with 50.
    Lost 4 two week ago -
    - 2 on Racing to beat Toulon
    - 2 on Aus to beat NZ

    and 4 last night on Lienster to win by 1 to ten points.

    Put 2 on SA to win by 1 to 13 points at 5/2
    and 2 on SA to win by more than 13 points at 15/2

    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.

    Placed twice as much on Tokyo, so in effect getting 8/7 on Tokyo and 7/6 on Madrid so win win.

    But could not see where my bet was on Tokyo and re-submitted it twice so ended up with 6 units on Tokyo and 1 on Madrid, fingers crossed now

    This strategy ain't really working, going to drop the trebles and 4 folds going forward.


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


    Only went for a Keatley try in the Munster game at 11/2 - so near and yet so far . :D

    Starting Balance 50 Units
    1 unit Madrid @11/4 :(
    6 units Tokyo @ 5/6 (by mistake put an extra 4 units on)
    1 unit Connacht/Connacht @8/15

    New balance 66.535 units

    Edit actually New Balance 66.5325 units

    If I had just done 2 units on Tokyo my balance would have been 54.2 units so got lucky

    Edit again to show I could not lose on either Tokyo or Madrid winning could not believe such a differential in the odds between 2 sites

    Forgot I put 10 units on Brazil to win and Neymar to score in the roundyball at 5/4 on a whim last night. It's currently 3-0 and Neymar scored the 3rd so I'm going to provisionally call that a :D

    :cool: did not know how these betting sites work so kept re-submitting bet on Tokyo and the 4th time told me my balance was not enough to place the bet, then saw where my bets had gone through, lumped my remaining unit in that a/c on Connacht/Connacht tonight kore free money imho.
    Odds on the other site for the Munster game weren't good enough so left my 24 units there

    Would you not just do 50 units and stop being so awkward :P

    Ha, I knew I'd be called on that. I like the simplicity of my 100!

    My aim is to have doubled the pot by the end of the season. An optimistic task so intend to be very cautious but still think it will require significant luck.

    Same here 19543261 only just cottoned on to it, just make sure you do not bet more than you can afford and some good judges of what is value in this thread. Obviously make your own judgements before hitting the place bet option


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,973 ✭✭✭19543261


    Sure copying some peoples choices seems like a good place to start :P
