LiamGTR Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 Proper bets with real money/odds/at a bookies etc. not just with your mates about taking one for the team, or else this thread could go out of control It can be about the amoun of money put on, the odds, a chance, no hopers etc. etc. ? I would NEVER do this but i've been saving for next years insurance since I got my insurance last year so got a fair amount, sat wacthing MOTD just now and thought "hmm, wonder how much I would win if I put my insurance savings on a favour to win" so tried putting it on he Chelsea v Everton match on the 10th which I think is a definite for Chelsea?.... turns out I would get about £600! and that would pay my insurance off completely and give me money for somethign a bit special I so wish I could afford to chance so much money! So....W.H.Y ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wwwd Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 I put a tenner on Liverpool to win the Champions League before their last group game with Olympiakos. They had to win the game by 2 clear goals (if I remember) and no-one was giving them a chance. Because they were considered out of the competition going into the last game I managed to get odds of 50/1. Then they miraculously ended up going to win the competition and I got myself a tidy £500. I also put a bet on Arsenal to win the Premier League Title at Xmas in the 1997/1998 season (before they went on the 13 game winning run) and got odds of 9/1. Never bet loads on a football match, you'll end up losing. For the record, in the last Chelsea/Everton game (only a couple of weeks ago and Chelsea were at home), the score ended 3-3. And Chelsea drew with Hull 1-1 on Wednesday despite the fact they're bottom of the league. Just something to think about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McRic Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 £2.50 on a football coupon, never watched/followed football in my life and chose the 10 or however many teams it was by going down the list and saying, I've been there, got realtives there, company I work for has a branch there etc etc etc. Scary thing is I got more right than my mates that follow the game Still won nowt though!

Sticking a quid into a sweep stake isn't exactly a crazy bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
