British Forum BETTING thread

[Claypole]

I only recently opened an online William Hill account, and have had some beginner's luck.

I picked Mosley to beat Margo, got the round right with the Moore fight, and tonight I won £66 for predicting a 4-0 Liverpool win.

I will undoubtedly lose it all again this weekend, but it certainly ramps up the excitement for the big fights.

I have never ever used them, but the place advertised on this site through the "Bet on Boxing" link....

[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

...seem to have the most Boxing matches I have ever seen at a bookie. They have some relatively obscure ones to what the others offer. I've never compared the odds though, but I bet they're not great (that's just a personal assumption - it may not be true).

For those of you who like a punt....there are odds of 40-1 for MAB to win within the first 60 seconds on sat (plus vice versa)

I remember looking at their team sheet at the start of the tournament and thinking... mmm.. a pretty tasty line up. They were struggling a bit in the Bundesliga though at the time.

Don't be fooled by Bayern. When Ribery is off song they struggle for inspiration. Defensively they are poor with individuals prone to errors. Sporting are rubbish.

ya they struggling in Bundesliga, but they seem to be getting it together just in time for the trophy hand outs, looks like klinsmann might do it again like with Germany

Haha, nothing I promise. I was a little unsure for the reasons JonOli mentioned, I wish I did now!

That would have been nerveless free money.
