Not sure what you mean there Snoop. Are you quitting with betting now the season is ending? Or is that you are withdrawing money from your Betandwin account?

If it's the last one I can see why you are worried :D but atleast that means you have won some money. If you've never had problems before I doubt there will be now. They are just known to be a little unfriendly now and then but they do seem popular in Europe especially with all those football shirt sponsorships. I can still think of atleast 5 better bookies though.
actually I was talking about you :D

I have some crazy bets, will post it ine few minutes ;)

    Yeah I was thinking about that too. This is more of a symbolic account here - all the bets I list here I play in real life but with larger stakes than 20.00 obviously so my money is managed a little differently, i.e. how much I have in all my accounts there.

    The idea of this was for the bets here to be stand-alone and profitable. I started with a bank of 200.00 here spread over 5 accounts as this is good practice as you should always take the best price for each bet. I started with 200.00 for a reason too as you need to bet a certain amount of your bank each time and betting 20.00 at a time looked reasonable - you can't bet everything so you need to have a bank which can take some losses.

    So on the withdrawal I think you are right. Once I get over 400.00 I will withdraw 200.00 which will be equivalent to the initial capital I started with. So it'll almost be like starting again except this time everything I have in my account will be profit. Actually without ever increasing the stakes I think routinely banking each 200.00 profit is quite a good strategy.

    Crazy stuff indeed Snoop :p.

    Good luck but that second bet will be a hell of a wait until Wednesday for Barca if it is still running.

    Good idea is that :agree:

    btw, I have two coupons too. I am playing crazy like this, because of the huge win I made today (cough poker slot cough) :D

    btw, If I win any of these, I will cover the money I spent on all, and even the double. wish me good luck, I will need it :pint:

    OK, I was so stupid to not wait until friday with betting! and I set more money! stupid!:disagree:

    So I get back to 10€!

    This is my bet for this weekend:

    SWE/Icehockey - BLR/Icehockey 1 1.15
    StPauli - Köln II 1 1.35

    FCLiverpool - WestHam 1 1.50
    HeartofM - Gretna 1 1.30
    Cottbus 1 TSV1860 Munich 1 1.35
    Karlsruhe - Paderborn 1 1.20
    ---------------------------------------------
    4.90 * 10.00€ = 49.00€

    first two are already done!

    Results:

    I deserve everything I got today. I thought Liverpool and Hearts were 'sure bets' and they made 3 of the 4 bets. Overloading selections is poor practice and being Cup Finals - well they reminded how unpredictable such events are even though the winners should have been much clearer.

    I also took a live bet @ 4.33 on the draw at 0-2 for Liverpool which bailed me out (very fortunate at the end with Steven Gerrard's <injured?> right boot) but I don't include live bets or covers here in this thread so they cannot be counted.

    Liverpool(1.62) x Hearts(1.36): 20.00 @ 2.20 => 0.00 (Stan James)
    LIVERPOOL(-1.0AH) v West Ham: 20.00 @ 2.05 => 0.00 (Bet365)
    HEARTS(-1.25AH) v Gretna: 20.00 @ 1.90 => 0.00 (Gamebookers)

    SEVILLA(-0.5AH) v Barcelona: 20.00 @ 1.84 => 36.80 (Stan James)

    Won't bother with anything tomorrow as what little football there is gets less and less. Looks like a good week in the tennis is needed to reach over 400.00 to trigger a withdrawal.

    Bet you will be back when the World Cup starts :p.

    No. Smart move mate - it's tough for many who don't understand that sometimes 'no bet' is better than feeding that 'addiction' which is inside every gambler.

    Enjoy your winnings. :pint:

    Monaco and Inter...can't say I am surprised. :D

    Monaco once had a 3-0 lead for me and lost 4-3. Inter under Mancini had too many to mention.

    Cut down the multi-bets and ditch betand(no)win or betandwait as they are known.

    No but definitely stop trying to win 'big' and enjoy the feeling of winning no matter how little. Saying that when Liverpool and Hearts go as bad as they did this weekend what chance is there?

    A bit late today as play has just got underway but two solid tennis bets for today:

    Ferrer(1.30) x Ljubicic(1.30) x Safin(1.25): 20.00 @ 2.11 (Gamebookers)
    Moya v BLAKE(+3.5 Games) @ 1.80 (Gamebookers)
    WAWRINKA v Seppi: 20.00 @ 1.84 (VCBet)

    Edit: Wawrinka doesn't play today but his price dropped massively since last night.
