When The Fun Stops, Stop!

Well that's the social responsibility out of the way so let's talk about our (responsible) betting activities.

As I said on the footie thread last week I did a fiver and didn't even last to the Sunday games but this week's a different matter.

Backed Manure, Liverpool, Leicester and The Saints from the Saturday games and all are in on a fiver five fold. Was so tempted to add Chelsea at almost 4/1 but bottled it so we move on to this evening.

The fifth is City at home to Everton which will turn a £25 cash out into £38 which will make a £28 profit so far this season

A bit of harmless fun and would be great to come out in profit in May. Not that I expect it!

Free bet today, so am wasting it on a Sevilla win, and all of Aston Villa, Wigan, Donny and Hull to score.

Just had a look on Betway and I can cash the bet out now for a very small profit six hours before the first game kicks off. Never seen that before

Can happen if the odds shorten on one or more of the selections.

By the same token the cash out can go down as well pre-match/race. Stops people cashing out at original stake to re-place the bet if the odds have drifted.

Blimey, just replicated the bet and the potential payout is £70 less

And that is why your cash out was higher than your stake before a single ball was kicked.

Had my luck this year already.

However put my fiver free bet on the man city Everton game on Monday needed 1 more man city goal for 25 quid.

Left it alone last night although BTTS bets seem to be the way forward so far this season

First three matches today, all the seeded players to win 6-0 or 6-1

Fiver returns £44.37. Wright fucked this up last week so we shall see how he goes this week.

Fuck me, Smith is shite today. 5-1 up with an 85 average and now leg 7 against the throw so bet is likely to be chinned early doors if he doesnt break here.

EDIT - yup, now confirmed. Pile of wank.

Wright would also have chinned it.
