    Funny story.
    I usually stick with a number until it comes out.
    Ive been doing 37 since November:eek: and it hasnt come out yet.
    In fact, it hasnt come out as the bonus since Feb '08, approximately 250 draws!!!
    I got so cheesed off by my fruitless perseverance that I decided to change my mind for once. And so, when the page opened to select a number, the mouse arrow pointed to 8, so I said F it and I went all in.
    And would you believe it...LOL.

    Would of been a disaster if 37 came out that week. :pac:

    Pick 25 next time. ;)

    25? Ah I think I might head back to my friend 37 again, and possibly 29 as a saver.


  • Moderators Posts: 8,686 ✭✭✭x PyRo


    25 is my lucky number, I've won hundreds on roulette just putting money on 25. :pac: Great number!

    150 on the above treble. The over 2.5 was in the Sao Paolo v Avai game. I was gonna do over 2.5 on the Gremio game but decided for the Avai one at the last second. Was 0-0 up to the 61st minute so didn't think it was gonna come through. Ended up being the only game over 2 goals in the Brazil league i think. Love when you get that bit of luck.

    Got a seven-fold accie up tonight on the Europa League, which made up for having got tanked on a five-fold and a six-fold by fecking Linfield fluking a draw against Rosenborg the other night.
    On the other hand, the odds were pretty stingy!
    (Total stake zero because it was a 50 euro free bet.)

    One game I avoided like the plague was the one I attended - Cliftonville V HNK Unpronounceable from Croatia at Windsor Park tonight. The reds were 4/1 to win at 'home' before kick off. I hope someone was on it, because they won 1-0 and it oughta been about 3. Gutted for Sporting Fingal after seeing the flurry of late goals, but they've loads to play for now in the home leg. On the other hand, them losing brought the accie home!


  • Registered Users Posts: 17,958 ✭✭✭✭Gavin "shels"


    You got lucky with the Fingal match, 95th min or something. Brought a smile to my face anyway.


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,109 ✭✭✭Cavehill Red


    When they were still 1-0 up away with like ten minutes to go, I assumed another Irish team had sunk another accie on me (fecking Linfield!).
    I don't normally do them, since they're mug bets, but I felt pretty strongly about all the games I backed this week, and the only way to drum up decent odds was on accumulators.
    As for SF, I'm glad to bank my money, but do feel bad for them (as a Pats fan, even) and hope they make use of those away goals in the return leg.

    In all fairness though, that's terrible value in the above accumulator.
    I wouldn't risk 50€ for 49.99 return (If I'm missing something do tell me.)

    Already stated it was poor odds myself. Though I question the concept of 'value' gambling anyway (except in the case of clear arb opportunities or hedging existing bets to copperfasten profits.)
    A bet is value if it wins in my opinion. If it loses, it wasn't much value, was it?
    To be honest, I'm aware accies are for mugs (as I already said), but I didn't foresee any likelihood of upsets in any of those ties.
    I got caught out by Linfield earlier in the week, and Fingal ran that one close. I accept most punters wouldn't go near an even money seven-fold with a bargepole. Then again, most punters lose money long-term.

    Tl;dr version: Bet won, therefore it's of value to me. Stuck it in here because as a ballsy sevenfold at evens, I'm proud of it.

    He is not coming across as one, that is just the way he is and always has been.

    I'm prepared to open my online account for scrutiny and compare it to yours and we'll see who did better over the World Cup.
    I'm looking at just under 800% ROI for the tourney. How did you do?

    So the teen-sounding netspeak and the smiley in his post were a bonus?
    I feel so special now.

    Fair enough man, it's your money and you can bet on whatever you like. I just think that's a pretty poor bet, and a bet someone would do that is chasing a loss. Saying that, you're probably far more profitable that a lot on here.

    A win's a win, well done :)

    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.

    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.
