British Forum BETTING thread

He was 2's yesterday!!!!! Must've been a bit of cash for him.

 

I generally do well out of boxing but despite the obvious interest I don't bet on fights that often. Don't have enough views of many of the lesser names to give me the confidence to back them. Still a nice little earner though.
Don't often bet on horses either but I'm comfortably up on my exchanges there.
Up and down with football. If I stuck with my confident picks I'd be comfortably up but I generally go for one too many bets and end up back where I started. Would change my ways but I enjoy the chase on small football bets as much as the profits.
Golf is my downfall. Quite often have a go when the majors come round but have very rarely got a return out of it. Not got a great record with tennis either.

 

Once again, the ''Player Performance'' market has me interested on bet365. I'm looking at:

Mohammad Aamer - 105 & Over @ 5/6

20 pts per wicket, 10 points for a catch and 1 point for each run scored .

This lad really does look something special at his age especially. The conditions should suit. Look out for England to get rolled if they bat first on an overcast morning with Gul, Asif and Aamer all bowling well.

Bit of a long shot but ive put FC Rabotnicki to score in both halves against Liverpool. The odds of 22/1 seemed way too high. Basically just betting on them to score in the first half then lay off.

 

I think England's play against spin has improved out of sight in the past few years.

When I first started watching cricket nearly 20 years ago :yikes they were like rabbits.... apart from Gatting, who mullered spinners.

On the athletics - Mark Lewis Francis is 100/1 on Betfair to win the 100, ''it's a £5 and if he qualifies for the final and lay off'' job :yep

 

Yeah, England are at home at should win over a 4 game series against what is a very young and inexperienced Pakistan side.

Tomorrow could present a good opportunity for Pakistan though - if they win the toss and field with some cloud cover. There is a theory that the ball swings more at Trent Bridge because of the new standhuh). That'll be their best chance I suspect.

Gul probably is the weakest in the attack. I'd be worried about Asif though. I can just see him giving someone like Cook problems bringing the ball back into his pads.

 

Jesus the standard in this Euro championships is **** poor :-(

Jimmy Anderson is 5/2 to be englands leading wickets taker in the first innings. If the ball swings it could be good value

 

:twisted:

Left Chambers alone in that 100m but stuck £3 EW on Obikwelu at 33/1. 2-5 all finished with 10.18 but Lewis-Francis snuck into 2nd.

You pick anything up Beeston?

 

**** all - had a fiver at 100/1 on Lewis-Francis before the semi and couldn't lay it, so ran with it.....

The last few weeks I've been really flat, a couple of decent wins and shocking losses..... surely the footy season will bring a change in fortune?

 

:verysad That's the way it goes sometimes. Always picks up when you stick with it.

The start of the footy season never does anyone any good. Need to wait for a few weeks until things settle down and you can start to see some form.

I've had a good week. Win on the boxing Friday, Aus-Pak cricket, final stage of the Tour de France and even a £1 treble on Rugby League :yep- Picked it up from Betting Zone because I noticed the fella had a good record so thought I'd test him out.

Looking forward to this weekends boxing but not sure where my money's going yet.
