WorksopRam Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 I have an acca or two every week. Don't win as many as I could, cos I always get carried away with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Day Posted April 9, 2011 Author Share Posted April 9, 2011 Used to stick £20 on a couple of games last season, used to leave me seriously pissed off when Derby have also lost so now I just stick to this little stupid bets. Most of the time you get your money back, or 50p up or down. No big paydays but gives you something else to follow on a Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hucknall Ram Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 I always put a couple of quid on Higginbottom to score 1st many seasons ago, he was our penalty taker and always 18/1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastKentRam Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 Just do the odd accumulators these days, stick to the horses mainly. Done Chesterfield, Dag & Red, Derby and Swansea today, fiver returns about £125. Had a couple of £50-£70 wins this season, nothing major. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CumbrianRam Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 Tend to do a couple big bets every season, had a big win on Blackpool getting promoted last year. Also won 90 quid when Carlisle United won the JPT. Do the odd accumlator from time to time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcsilks Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 Anyone had much success this season? Am up by about £600 this year. Am trying to pay off my student loan with gambling winnings and have managed to pay off £3000 so far over the last year and a half. My advice, high stakes for small gains. Better to stake a tonne on a sure fire bet and win 115 back than to risk losing the lot in some daft acca. I wager around £100 each week. There are some great odds about if you look. Cardiff were a great price at 8/13 to beat Derby last weekend for example. Looked like a home banker to me. I study the odds for a long time though. Reckon I spend about an hour or two every day studying form. Plus my bit of insider knowlege also helps as I worked for a while at William Hill and also do a bit of work here in Japan with Grampus Eight which helps with my J-League.

He had something like 500 pounds on Spain to win the Euros, in which he won back like 3k or something.. And did exactly the same for World Cup, we all told him he was mad but afterwards we looked abit daft as it did seem a sure thing. 100% agree with your analysis of 100 bets or so, every now and again there are stand out games in whch you know are going to happen. Take Derby for example, we was never going to win away at Cardiff.. Liverpool tend to get good odds at home, especially when they're playing someone semi-decent like Spurs, and in general, they tend to win. As your an acca, I always stick on $1 a week for 10 away wins throughtout the football league.. The winnings vary from 10k-30k depending on who I've got, this is more abit of fun as I've never actually won, the closest I've had was 8 I think! Also, at the start of the season I'd advise doing League Winners for about 50 quid.. 50 quid on Man Utd, QPR for promotion, Barcelona and Milan probably would have won you over a grand.

GboroRam Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 1/2. So short, I had to add this line or the site wouldn't let me post them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Day Posted April 9, 2011 Author Share Posted April 9, 2011 Should of told me in the last post then, like getting blood from a stone Better than my 5p winnings then, not sure I have the balls to put £250 on one game, if I did the missus would kill me even if I won.

GboroRam Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 I originally put something like £50 on Laws taking the Burnley job, which came in. I've had paddypower mailing me all the time saying, you've got this £250 in your account. I could cash it in, where it gets swallowed by the amount that's owing on my credit card, or keep it in the account and have fun with it. I figured there's no way Fulham will beat United at home, with or without their new statue, so decided to go **** or bust. Now paddypower will be harping on about the £375 in my account I never use.

Bris Vegas Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 Brilliant Odds. Man Utd at Old Trafford are like machines. A record of Won 15 Drawn 1 Lost 0 is outstanding. Fortress. Theyve got Chelsea at home in the league coming up. Theyre going to win this game. I might stick 300 on it. Probably get me back something like 520. Them winning at home is like Barcelona winning at home. Problem is, with Barca, with 100 quid youre only likely to win back 10 quid. But with Utd for some reason your likely to win back at least 30, in some cases like today alot more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stick the lot on Blackpool to beat Arsenal tomorrow, it's not that crazy you know, this is Blackpool at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
