British Forum BETTING thread

webber is now 9/1 with paddy power (who offer e/w), after Hamilton and Button place first and second in first practice.

In general I wouldnt be too worried about practice pace. Teams can be trying different set ups, fuel strategies etc. The McLarens do look more competitive, but the redbulls should still be top 2 teams come qualifying/race day.

 

Draw for prizefighter.
QF 1 Ekundayo V McEwan
QF 2 Carslaw V Toms
QF 3 Vaughn V Carruthers
QF 4 Mansouri V Valintine
Sudenly Curtis Valintine looks very good valuu!

 

What does e/w mean don't understand that

 

He is in the best half but he could be in two tough little scraps as well to be honest, the top half seems to have the boxers and the bottom half the fighters to a certain degree.

Hard event to win for anyone looking at that draw and Valentine has been adjusted accordingly with the books, The only quarter final that I think there should be a certain winner would be Carslaw. Now having said that we should probably all lump on Toms.

Good luck to them all though

 

I wotched them on youtube and mceuan can scrap to when he has to. Larry is not on youtub but he dint like fighting brawwlers who got in his fase in the ams. I think mceuan will monstir him like he did to Andy Lee erly on. Mceuan v Valentine final. Prizefight will soot Valintines stile

 

each way

 

Anyone see any value in the domestic fixture list this weekend?
Can't see anything I'd wanna touch in the Premier League...

Cup weekend both north and south - I avoid these ties!

 

Going for leeds over 4 corners tonight 7/5

 

Anyone know why Renan St. Juste is the underdog to beat Allan Green? He's fighting at home, Green is overweight and also really, really **** at Boxing

 

Each way mate.

So for this race it means top 3.

 

so its 9/1 for him to come in the top 3?

 

No, if you place an a £5 each way bet, your stake is a tenner.

It's £5 on your nag to win, and then £5 on it coming in the top X number of places - the % of what you'll get paid will be specified, sometimes it varies.

So for a fiver each way on a 9/1 bet, if it wins, you get the £5 at 9/1, plus the £5 at 9/1 multiplied by the %, so you'll probably end up with £70 or so.

It's a way of hedging your bets without being a complete *****, and can win you some decent money if you get it right.

 

Oh I kinda get it, think ima sit this one out too broke to be takin any risks, don't trust f1

 

It probably sounds more confusing than it is.

Boylesports have Webber at 10/1, there e/w terms are 3 places 1/5 odds

So using £5 as an example you have £5 on him to win and £5 on at 1/5 of the win odds, so 2/1, for him to come in the top 3.

So a 2nd or 3rd place returns, £15, profit of £5, a win means a return of £70, profit of £60.

The e/w return would hardly be worth it if you thought he only had a chance to place but if you think, as Leo said, that it's unlikely he finishes outside the podium positions then it's decent as it's essentially a bet to nothing with at best the chance of a nice win and at worst your money back with a bit of change...

 

St.Juste is also ****, is 40 years old and hasn't boxed in a year when he didn't do anything to Anthony Dirrell and then injured himself. I think Allen green should be favourite and will beat St.Juste on points
