Nice one,

had Spain win Villa top scorer but because it was joined top it was reduced from 16/1 with a 10er to 16/1 with 2.50,

Spain just to win would have paid better @5/1.

Bit sick that one

fair ****ing play horse, I was also considering of lumping all my winnings of 500 euro on spain to lift the trophy but I just didnt have the cojones

that 500 euro will go towards my new satellite system

but fair play mate, your one of the best gamblers here

Thanks man. Just been on a good streak since around half way through the WC. 50% luck and 50% research i reckon. Hopefully it continues once the big club seasons get underway. Didn't have too much last year although i remember getting some nice doubles and trebles that i copied from you near the end of last season.

Brilliant lotto bet.

Ya can make serious money from them, even predicting two numbers!

Interested to know what the 38/1 is all about too. From the writing of the bet it looks like it's for the number 8 to come out. But having done the lotto thing on PP in the past for the craic i know the odds are only 5/1 and 6/1 for certain countries for one number.

SantryRed · 13-07-2010 3:21pm

The bonus on the 10th July was 8. Maybe that was it?

Correct.
If youre interested, its under Novelty bets on PP.com.
Pick the Bonus in the main draw - 38/1

Kod-box · 13-07-2010 9:39pm

i see, good call, so do you do 8 every week or just randomly picked it this week?

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.

x PyRo · 13-07-2010 11:59pm

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.

x PyRo · 14-07-2010 12:24am

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

I had him backed too.... €15 @ 180s on betdaq.
What a day.

El Horseboxo · 15-07-2010 5:26pm

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.

Cavehill Red · 16-07-2010 2:35am

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!

Gavin "shels" · 16-07-2010 4:08am

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

Cavehill Red · 16-07-2010 4:11am

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.

Vurnon San Benito · 16-07-2010 1:12pm

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.

I'm looking at just under 800% ROI for the tourney. How did you do?

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.

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....

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.

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.

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!
