British Forum BETTING thread

Makes sense, look forward to reading your weekly columns, good late matey

 

You just neeeded to take 1 look at the rigo-ramos fight odds early doors to confirm this.

Like printing money.

 

What amazes me is that they didn't cancel all bets when the fight was originally cancelled. They must have took a beating on that one.

 

The standard rule is that all bets stand if the bout takes place within 30 days of the original date. Otherwise, bets can be voided if the said bookmaker wants to

 

I thought the standard rule was that they can do whatever they want? :hey

 

Ha, unfortunately that's true in many cases. The industry is getting less and less punter friendly as the years go by

 

Any input on tonights footie would be appreciated, busy day and havent had time to study

 

Guinea at 11/5 is good value i think, its a few weeks away lads but the Giants @ 11/8 are great value to win the Superbowl or alternatively Eli Manning to win the MVP @ 15/8, with the giants being a pass first team if they win it all then Manning almost certainly will get the MVP like he did in '08.

 

Agree with that logic and on the Giants as a whole. Good value

 

Patriots have a better offence marginally, thanks to Brady, Welker, Gronk and Hernandez, Big Blue are no slouches though with Eli, Manningham and the monster that is Victor Cruz. On the other side of the ball its Big Blues D all the way for me. Pats are the favourites in name alone for me, this team only has 5 players from the dynasty era and have had a great schedule facing only 2 teams with a winning record all season (Jets and Baltimore last week) I think the Giants will win it and win it surprisingly comfortably IMO.

 

so you are no longer an odds compiler?

 

Eh? No I am still

 

i love this love everyone is showing for the giants its going to give punters massive value on the pats people keep going on about the pats weak schedule and how many teams they played with winning records, yet ignore the fact that the giants were awful most of the season lost to washington (twice),seattle,49ers,eagles ,saints and grenn bay.
new england have been a one dimensional team all year(relying almost entirely on brady) yet it seems to have escaped peoples notice that their defence has had a few key players comin back of late and has looked different class in the play offs they are now looking strong on both sides and imo will have this game won by the start of the 4th quater.

GET ON PATS BIG TIME

 

They have beaten Tebows Broncos and after a nervy start Joe Flacco outplayed Brady and was picking up yards at will against them once he was in the groove. Giants have already went into Boston this year and won, without Nicks who is a massive part of the Giants offence. Its all about peaking at the right time and i feel these 2 teams are doing that, i just think the Giants will move the ball with more ease against that awful Pats defence than vice versa, Flacco threw a 300 plus yard game against them in 3 quarters, Flacco is not a noted gunslinger so i think that shows that this defence has not improved really.

 

Cardiff, Motherwell, Juventus and Mali.

£10 returns £130.95. Not bad, quite fancy that.
