British Forum BETTING thread

They are solid selections although I rarely do accumulators and generally stick to win singles as in an accy it only takes one to let you down. That's why bookies invented stuff like Lucky 15's, Heinz, etc as they know punters get attracted by the big potential returns but they don't often win.
Good luck though pal.:good

 

cheers mate,
i to normally stick to singles however i fancy a little acca so hope to have afew quid rolling onto the warren card in the shape of chisora

 

I haven't for a while to be honest.

What are the odds on Idowu - might be worth a lay bet on Betfair :think

 

Not sure but don't think he will be fav after the new guy has just emerged and jumping like a ****ing kangeroo cant remeber his full name Teddy something in New York few weeks back I saw on tv, he was getting very close to Jonathen Edwards world record which is like what 15 years old??

 

Thought Chambers looked the best out of the bunch today. Lemaitre didn't look in great form.

Francis Obkwelu might be worth an outside tip. Look relaxed and ran a comparable time to the rest.

 

I had no interest in the Triple Jump market. Teddy Tamgho is 2/7 favourite with Idowu at 11/4.

Agree Chambers looked comfortable. I'm not much wiser than I was before though to be honest. I still think the way the French lad handles his nerves will play a big part. He has pretty poor form out of the blocks which means he's likely to be chasing Chambers with 50M to go but he usually seems very strong from there. Maybe just enough confidence in Chambers to have a small wager now.

It's shame EW bets only pay out for 1st and 2nd otherwise I would be tempted by Obikwelu at 8/1 and Lewis-Francis at 33/1.

 

Lookin ahead to the weekend ... NRL bet of the week ...Sydney Roosters 7/4 to beat the in form Eels ....
Carney and pearce look excellent around the halves and the big Roosters pack is finding its feet ... old men Hindmarsh and Cayless could have met there match in Frank-Paul the wrecking ball !

 

A question for fellow punters .... What sports do you have most success/luck in and obvioulsy least successluck in ?

For me Boxing , NRL and Greyhounds (ante post) are my 3 cash cows ... and I would say football least success ... punt on arrers as well and tend to leave the other sports alone .

Greyhounds ive had most success in - Derby 2009 2nd 20's each way , Irish Derby 1st 16's and this years english Derby at 25's winner .... 2011 get on Droopys Oscar 20s !

 

He pulled a hamstring near the end of his last match mate. I was shitting it cos i had him to win and he was really struggling with it, but managed to pull through.

That, plus Skugor is playing very well and its his home tournament. Still worth a few though

 

Hamstring injury. Although he was playing doubles last night so he must be fit enough.

Laboured through against Lorenzi and Skugor is probably of similar ilk; maybe a bit tougher. Good price on Dolgo though, who looks a star in the making.

 

Braga tonight to beat Celtic

Both teams obviously yet to start their league campaigns but I still strongly fancy Braga for this. Theri home record is immense and well,we know how bad Celtic are away in Europe. The fact Lennon is at the helm makes me even more confident in this. Altho I think he'll lead Celtic to the league(wow),i feel he and his defence will get 'exposed' tonight.
Odds have been clipped in to evens....easy!

 

You would think so but apparently he played doubles last night and was fine. The bookies knew from 2 nights ago he was struggling so the fact only today the other kid has gone from evens to 2/5 makes me think there's something fishy going on. You never know with these kinda matches.

I like the look of Bolelli to beat Chela at 5/4 today.

 

Best luck: Tennis. Especially in the last few weeks, as I've really started to study every single event in order to detect momentum/complacency in players and strike accordingly.

Don't really bet on enough sports to have a stand out 'worst' one.
