    Just after putting my entire bank on a Romanian league game.
    GLORIA BUZAU vs CEAHLAUL
    Backed Bazau win/draw @ 1-5.
    If they dont win then im cleaned out :D
    Going to be a nervous 2 hours!!!!!!
    Kick off in just over 30 mins
    Ceahlaul have won 1 of their last 8 away matches.
    Gloria have lost 1 of their last 8 home games.
    Surely to god the unthinkable wont happen.
    Anyway heres hoping!

    Mike.

    Gotten 4-5 hours sleep since tuesday.
    Am in a semi-trance.
    Bet should come off though, that team are on a piss poor run.
    Go on (insert name of team i backed), you can do it!

    me brother is a semi pro gambler. as he calls himself, just football as theres only 3 ways the bet can go, unlike horses.
    he seems to think if you bet 5rs and tenners ull just get 5rs and teners back. he had a grand on liverpool at 6/5
    when they played macelle
    ive never put more than 20euro on a bet in me life.
    just wanted to know what the lads on here would put on as a maxium bet.

    Good call mike i think.
    Romanian league is not for the faint hearted (or the intelligent at this rate)
    Its a solid bet though, stake was a bit off the wall though.
    As for your question redfan, once put 750 on a tennis match betting in running.
    Think it was andy murray, he was a set up and coasting, backed him at 3-10.
    Lost the next 3 sets.
    Sickened, had made twice that on roddick in the same competition but i have never
    forgiven murray for it and i dont think i ever will !!!!!

    PS 1-0 down after 22 mins, it would only happen to me!
    PPS 1-1 after 25 mins, my poor heart isnt able for this :D:D:D
    PPPS 2-1 Sorted. Go on Romanian league 1
    PPPPS 3-1 After 50 mins. Woot woot

    I love it. I think the most nerving bet I had wat 150Eur on a volley ball match on Paddy power. The Game was betting in running. China V Brazil womens.

    I watches the sets play out on screen 1-1, 2-1 and so on. I actually won my stake but late found out my bet didn't get accepted because of the refresh screen.

    Sickened, but nervous fun all the same.

    Think the must stupid amount I had on was also betting on net over summer. 500 on South American cup, Guatamala the underdogs ****ed things up at a stake of 1/5.

    Ceahlaul just went 4-3 ahead.










    Ahahahaha - hope i didn't make you piss yourself


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,040 ✭✭✭threebeards


    Only about 3 mins left and still 3-1 up. You're home and dry


  • Registered Users Posts: 20,836 ✭✭✭✭cormie

    FT Gloria Buzau 4 - 1 Ceahlaul Piatra-Neamt


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,698 ✭✭✭IrishMike


    €250 single and backed it in an accumulator aswell.
    Might put the whole lot on Ronnie O Sullivan the man is on fire
    Or else on Leinster @ 2-5 to beat the cardiff blues
    Choices choices

    Dont do it - he is highly temperamental, he got pissed off yesterday because the referee walked in front of him and pulled him up on it at the interval.

    If he gets upset his game is gone - not worth it IMO

    PP give 1.75 for a -2.5 handicap or 2.1 for -3.5 handicap which is a bit risky for me.

    Mike.


  • Registered Users Posts: 14,467 ✭✭✭✭cson


    Calm it down there IrishMike!

    Eventually one of those bets won't come off and you won't have any bank left! :eek:

    Seriously though, you should tighten the reins a bit and not throw the whole bank on things. Cos what if ya want to bet on something and you lose the bank, there'll be no bank to bet with :(

    10 hours kip would help a lot here.

    Mike.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,698 ✭✭✭IrishMike


    Good call.
    Withdrew the balance of the account to my laser card.
    Will take a day to clear so will be Tuesday before its cleared.
    Have 2 accumulators on for today/tomorrow.
    If they come off will put them on a munster-leinster double.
    Cant wait to sleep!!!!!!!!
    Damn exams not good for my sanity


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 257 ✭✭63587614


    Hey that's good going lad. What account do you have that you can withdraw to your laser. My Paddy Power account pays out in cheque format.

    My account pays out to my laser too. You should give them a call


  • Registered Users Posts: 14,467 ✭✭✭✭cson


    Yup, if you deposit with laser you should be able to withdraw with laser.

    Of course it'll beposit instantly, but when you want your winnings it takes a couple of days for them to give it back to ya :mad:

    Good advice there mike.
    Worked like a treat.
    Nothing like a new day with a clear head.
    Emptied my account but had €120 there this morning from accumulators i had
    done yesterday (not a bad complaint!).

    Moral of the story insomnia and gambling are not a good partnership
    Nor is drink and gambling but thats another days work!

    Just spend a few hours trading on the x factor result. Thanks to a lack of liquidity between a few of the markets (now with a similar outcome) I made a few bob.

    Mad stuff ;)

    Would I be right in saying that Leon was 11/1 in running at one stage??
