I usually don't bother betting on the big teams because the odds are never value for money, but I think United to beat Fulham was like 1.80 or something, thought that was good enough to risk it on!

tell that to some of these guys

Worst part of the bet now is if I'd have just done a double on last nights matches I'd have £1,491 back, so to take my cash out on offer of £1342, I'd have effectively thrown £150 away. Really don't trust Arsenal though and their odds are rising all the time, so my cash in will probably be even less now

No sure if I told you I made a few hundred from your snooker double a few years ago. I owe you a beer.

Yeah the duplicate bets are where the money seems to be made. Got a couple in on Betfair sportsbook recently on the football, thought they'd be pretty switched on.

duplicate bets

Arsenal @ 8/15
Italy U20 @ 1/6
Chelsea Youth @ 2/9
Hacken @ 2/11
Lamia 1964 @ 4/9
Aps Zakynthos @ 2/9
Iraklis 1908 @ 1/8
Leatherhead @ 4/9
Corby @ 4/9
Inter Milan @ 6/10
Dynamo Kiev @ 4/6
Club Brugge @ 2/5
Napoli @ 2/5
Sao Paulo @ 3/10

Stake: €5.00 Potential Returns: €358.77

I like to bet on stupid teams.

duplicate bets

Where they create a market for the same match twice. For example, about a week ago they had 'Atlas V Santa Fe' and 'Atlas v Independiente'. The away teams full name is CLUB INDEPENDIENTE SANTA FE so obviously it's the same match. So double all the likely correct scores, £10 on 0-0 @10/1 would return £1010 as a double. Sometimes they are identical so they're even simpler to spot.

...and don't get me going on BetFred

i get you

I told you to cash out.

I'm seriously thinking of packing in betting. There's way too many shock results in all sports lately.

I didn't put a bet on last night Trouble is, most people did acca's with Arsenal as a banker. You only had to read what people were saying tonight, no one cashed out as Arsenal couldn't lose

Arsenal fans thinking they only need to win 2 0, are they Pellegrini in disguise

I always felt Monaco would win that one. I wasn't sure about any of tonight's games so didn't put anything on.

Betting is seriously annoying me, Arsenal did my bet tonight but its results like Rangers about 3 weeks ago that make me irate

They had beaten Raith 4-0 away and 6-1 at home this season, I had them in a 14 team acca and they were the only losers.(2-1 at home to Raith), then 2 weeks later they go and win at Raith in the League

Who has luck like this ?

gambling is actually a joke if you think about it. I have been doing it for 5 years and the one thing I have learnt especially if you play accumulators is to stick to the top leagues.Simply play teams that win 70% of theior football games but in the top leagues.

That way at least one accumulator comes in every six months.

Spurs
Ajax
Liverpool
Olympiakos
Everton

£20 gets over 2k

Bilbao
Liverpool
Napoli
Club Brugge

£5 pays £47.

Don't think us or Spurs will win tonight... just have a bad feeling about us and think Spurs will have one eye on the cup final. Have gone for this though:

Olympiakos
Everton
Dynamo Kiev
Ajax

£5 returns £79

It's offering me £50 cash out and only Ajax are winning.

Take it
