A bit of a scare, with Leeds going ahead early in the game, but Birmingham were a pretty sure bet, they're untouchable at home.

Chelski had me sweating for a bit, letting Wolves take the lead twice in the match. Luckily though, Jimmy got me a hat-trick in the last 10 minutes

Disappointing goalless draw















4-1 :thumb:

Great performance from Bayern, 5-2. Hargreaves scored :extatic:

I knew i should have just gone with my instinct. Oh well, at least i knew at the start that it was a risky bet.

I can't believe I picked the only match in the competition that didn't end OVER :fero:

Pending



Since it was just a small bet to cover, the Birmingham victory more than makes up for it

:extatic: when Charlton took the lead, i didn't have much hope in Villa, but they're playing great these days

I was quite pleased when Radzinski gave Everton the lead on 78 minutes. Quite gutted when Boro equalised 5 minutes later

[Slagathor]

Blank line? What blank line? Why?

 

[gray]

Oh, so there isn't a blank line between your quote and mine? In that case it's probably the smileys taking up space.

Yeah there is but I like it

AFAIK, most respectable bookies should give you your stake back, or if you won the rest of your matches, you should get a half payout of what you should have won

btw didn't Ajax lose anyway?

Good to hear you're cool again

And I tell you again, you really need to stop going for a huge one-off win. Go for consistency and start making combinations of likely matches

 

[Juventino]

damn, last year I won this betting EPL competition...
this year I have been stuck on 3:rd place mostly, before this week
however I became 4th now I'm afraid checking my scores I'm 5th

:sob:

the darnest things is I leave my tips, then U see the sport news, U start
looking at the so claimed 'experts' and then I go and change my tips...

:sob: :sob: :sob:

 

[gray]

I got a bit cocky after getting some great results on the weekend, but a lot of teams let me down. I got lucky though, because one of my combinations had Siena and Brescia winning, and Arsenal drawing which raised the odds greatly

Arsenal - Manchester United Draw

Bolton - Newcastle Draw

Leicester - Liverpool Draw

AC Milan - Chievo

(only in terms of betting though, I'm glad they didn't win)

Brescia - Ancona

Parma - Empoli Draw

This was always gonna be a bit of a gamble

Perugia - Lazio

Reggina - Inter Milan Draw

Sampdoria - Lecce

Lecce equalised in the 94th minute :fero:

Siena - Udinese

Hamburg - Kaiserslautern

Real Madrid - Sevilla

Celta Vigo - Zaragoza

Yeah, I'll get 46 instead of 58. If the match isnt replayed in the next two days that game is scarepped from the bet. It's going to be played April 14th, so...

I won :thumb:



Anyways, this is not a huge off win, this was the 10 safest games I could find and I played most of tme 1x or x2. Anyways, on my other bet I had 12 games with a total win of 500 from 2 invested, got all of them right except Sparta Prague's game, and Barcelona's postponed one.

 

[Zlatan]

Ajax drew 1-1 btw, Zlatan scored.

As I've said before, in the punting world, it's much safer to go for consistent wins rather than saying "Okay, when i finally win my $2000 bet, I'll quit".

btw I didn't know you could put 12 legs in one accumulator, my maximum is 10 :down: Not that i'd be crazy enough to bet on 12 results.

Seriously, you can pick the safest-looking matches in the world, but one or two favourites will almost always screw you up with a draw

 

[Zlatan]

Well, thats why you put 1x or x2

 

[gray]

or a loss

 

[Zlatan]

No, I mean you put these, whaddayacallthem, double predictions, or whatever.

1x- home win or draw
x2- draw or away win

Are we on the same page here? :undecide:

 

[gray]

I know what a double-chance bet is, unfortunately my bookie doesn't offer them :irritate: maybe i should have put it in context I meant:

I guess so I dunno why they don't offer them, I'm sure i would've made even more of a killing then :irritate:

If ManU - Arsenal hadn't drawn, I would've made a net loss for the week

Wouldn't have been too happy then
