British Forum BETTING thread

Lots of money gone on Redknapp to be next Chelsea manager. As short as 2/1. Still 5's available

Also someone lumped on Benitez coming to us (Villa) the other day as he dropped to 1/5 at one point

 

Ohhh, I think they only keep record of your P&L for a certain amount of months. So that's probably why.

:barf

 

Oh sound thats cool :good

 

So, I've been checking out various sites for betting on the big fight, and I came across Skybet's 'Knockdown Specials'. I'm not a wizard at maths, but hoping maybe someone could clear this up for me.

Current odds of either fighter being knocked down are 1/4

Current odds of Haye being knocked down are Evens

Current odds of Wlad being knocked down are 13/8


For argument's sake, if I make a straight £160 bet on either fighter going down, I only get a return of £40, right?

But, if I bet £80 on Wlad, and £80 on Haye, I break even if Haye gets knocked down, a profit of £50 if Wlad gets KD and a profit of £210 if both get KD at some point? Is it my bad maths or is the 1/4 a far inferior bet to taking the other two together? I can't see this fight going the full 12 without someone getting KD so trying to figure out the best bet. . .

 

If i was to bet on this fight it would be wlad UD but you wont get great odds

 

You can get 6/1 on Wlad UD.

 

nice, might have a pop

 

A straight win doesn't appeal to me. Wlad's chin and Haye's power (and vice versa) don't make a win prediction worth it imo. I really can't see neither fighter getting knocked down at some point so it seems the better value bet to me, especially if both go down at some point.

 

Haye will stop him.

Interesting bet, gonna look into it.

 

Anybody had a look at the test match? Forecast looks pretty bleak. Draw a distinct possibility. Around 6/4 right now. Only worry is what effect it will have on the pitch/conditions. Might just suit England especially since SL look a couple of bowlers light.

 

Giro D'Italia Stage 18. Similair stage as yesterday with probably different players.

My picks.

Hoogerland 18/1
Vicioso 33/1
Brutt 33/1

All each way, and small ones at that... Could be any of about 20-30 riders today.

 

'Arry for the Bridge :rofl a mugs bet in a mugs market. On the shirt tails of genuine insiders the only way. Watch out for market movement from the liverpool area, they have form in this game.

Rafa's would'nt be a shock. He's openly declared he'd like to get back in the english game and i can't see him going to blackpool.:hey

Warrington to turn over Leeds. **** record against the loiners in the modern era, but this ain't the leeds of recent times. Plenty of inuries with Senior the latest. Warrington in rampant mode and after the expected dogged home effort, should pull away for the points.

 

We're a shambles this season. Discipline is awful, throwing the ball round in our own quarter.... ****ing stupid.

A few bookies are giving Leeds a six point start, making it even money either way. Win only is 4/7.

I expect Wire to cover that and then some.

 

Top bloke is McDermott, but he's got it all to do. Been given a name for when the time comes.

Fury/Delboy via disqualification 50/1:hey has to worth a few sheckles.

 

Yeah he seems a top man.... to be fair it's not just this season that we are all over the shop giving pens away, last season was just as bad.

I've got an idea who it may be..... got a feeling the Leeds fans might not like it though, or maybe they might who knows :think
