    Yeah was just a hunch, for those bets I just go with 2 quid.

    Its really mixed feelings when they come off, part happy, part annoyed.

    Is that a good punt?

    I seen Lesnar win his title, and I know of his wrestling background - I also seen when he was submitted as well. Mir I do not know much about, but I hear his name mentioned quite a bit.

    Mir submitted Lesnar in there first fight but was getting battered until then. I'm was going on the fact Lesnar hasn't got that much experience while Mir can pull a sub from almost anywhere when given the chance. Qubecwarrior seems to think Lesnar will pull it off and he knows MMA more than me so he really ****ed me up here :lol:

    Bisping might be a safer bet at 15/8 it all depends on how much Hendo has left though

    Has anyone played poker on Betfair?

    I have nothing to do at work today so may have a bash!

    Poker at work?....Nice one:good

    I currently play at Skybet and having played on other sites there more or less all the same as far as bad luck go. They will sometimes throw up situations that guarantee someone will go broke,hands that Phil Helmuth himself would struggle to get away from.

    Nice when it goes for you.

    2Moro in the football

    HamKam to beat Moss FK

    1/2-Pretty easy home win.

    I went for the Lions to beat the dirty Springboks in the third test, and was pleasantly surprised that it came off.

    With a little bit of luck (mainly reffing decisions) they could have won the series 3-0.

    But O'Gara is still a **** after that brain explosion!

    Totesport. Owen 5/2 to be picked in the World Cup Squad. Worth a sneaky £20-£50 I reckon

    Can't believe Venus lost in the final. She was looking brilliant previously, way better than her sister. Had £25 at 4/1 :twisted:

    £50 on Federer at evens made my overall profit for Wimbledon £25.

    Bet you were slightly nervous with Federer throughout the game!

    I was probably even on the tournament as a whole, up or down a few p either way.

    The big winner for me was a first round match, can't remember who it was, but I backed some woman from a set down with my last £2 and got real good odds...... kept half the winnings and put the rest on Federer to win the tourney at evens.

    Lost a bit on Laura Robson in her match and also Murray vs Roddick.... my logic was that Roddick was backing up after a tough five setter vs Hewitt and Murray won his quarter easily.

    :patsch :patsch I left Eddie Chambers alone as well :patsch :patsch

    Kotelnik is a great value bet, because I cannot see him winning on points, yet I see the fight as being 50/50 :yep
