British Forum BETTING thread

I always have doubts about South Africa.

In the last three world cups they have ****ed it up big time.....

Gibbs dropping Steve Waugh
The Donald runout
Boucher blocking the last ball in a D\L affected game
Smith trying to slog Bracken and McGrath when the ball is swinging

India look a vibrant side though, but I have a gut feel for SL. All they need is a decent ish score to bowl at and the nerves will be jangling!

Not even considered England, will leave that there.

 

won £95 today. put £4 on rooney to score and england to win 6-0 at 11/1 (what a punt that was)...and put £5 on an accumalator with about 6 tennis matches and 4 football matches which won me another £40.

There the only 2 bets iv put on this month aswell and won both, woohoo, cashed £50 in and put £40 on andy murray to win Queens at evens, hope my luck hasn't ran out already

 

Well I made my first proper legal bet today (normally pick a couple of horses in the Grand National), picked some horse and surprised the **** out of me by actually winning, £5 in, £18.75 return - not bad for my first bet!

However lost some of the profits (£3) on the U21 games today.

Any tips out there for a young ameteur better like me?

 

how old you got to be to bet its 16 aint it

i cant wait till i can, study periods at school spent at the bookies

 

18

 

18, sorry for bursting your bubble!

I just need boxing and the premiership to come around, because I have limited knowledge in these sports, others I don't have a clue about.

 

Australia to win the Ashes :deal

 

****sake 2 and abit more years

 

Just get a friend to do it for you.

When I was 16 there wasn't the big 'check 21' deal there is now, and in any case I looked 18 so the bookie probably never twigged.

If one of the birds behind the counter queried me, I just said I forgot, she told me to hand the coupon to my grandad (who meets me there at 12.30pm every Saturday to this day) and she would accept the bet.

 

might give it ago i got chaged an adult fair on the bus today.

none of my mates are 18. all my mates older than me live in a different town than what i go to school.

wonder if a teacher would do it if i went inside the bookies?

 

Don't think so!

 

The price for a Chagaev victory has eased out to 4/1.

Does anyone else think thats a little on the big side?

Klitschko is 1/7
(BET365)

 

You can get 9/2 on Chagaev on Betfair..... Klitschko 1/6.

There hasn't been any activity though on stoppage/points wins.... all of them are 1/2

If you look at the round betting though.... they offer odds on either man to win on points, Chagaev is 11/1 :nut Wlad is evens.

 

I've just had a nibble on him to win.

Going to the fight so need something to get me more into it. Still cant believe its not Haye im seeing.

Since he pulled out Ive struggled for motivation to even go
