    Swansea are still being held.

    Most bets today are on fire by now I imagine. The fourth round draw will be more interesting.

    Mike.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 183 ✭✭lolkelly


    I really dont understand where some people are coming from on this forum! they place their bets and post them here. Then all of sudden when things are going wrong they magically have a few quid on another bet and they are out of a hole!!

    Totally agree with lolkelly. It makes me question the credibility of some people in here.

    Prime example from the Bolton match the other day:
    paulizei wrote:
    Small profit from Man City CS. Stuck a fiver on Bolton to score in last 5 mins. Well done on the win jacky.

    That's after the match. Ah come on! Regardless of if it was really on or not how many losing bets do we not know about too?

    Pointless.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,783 ✭✭✭Pj!


    Totally agree with that.
    We all hate aftertiming and if theres not something in the charter about it there should be.

    Hard to make this forum out sometimes.

    Shut it. I posted that literally 1 or 2 mins before Bolton scored. Look at the time of the post ffs. If you were paying attention, you would have noticed. I do not after event. Got it? :)


    e2a: Backed Bolton in the 85th or 86th minute, 5 mins to go as I said, just before PP closed the market, they scored in the 91st iirc.
    The City game started 15 minutes earlier than Bolton so it might have looked like after eventing, I'll grant you that. But check your facts first before posting rubbish please.

    Most other forums would not tolerate your 'get on' malarkey in fairness. :) Anyone who claims they don't give reasons for picks because they're not being paid is no use to anyone else on a betting forum. Most other places have threads for picks with analysis and a separate thread for picks with no reasons required, and sometimes livescore threads for bet-in-play picks like my Bolton one. It's fine as it is here imo, but that's what we should have maybe.

    Apologies paulizei, I wasn't singling you out just the most recent example I could think off. My mistake :(

    There's loads at it though and it's a load of crap. I don't mind if someone posts I've backed 3 teams and two are in and looking for advice on a lay. It's the 'I landed a 6-fold today with 50 on it' brigade I detest.

    Apology accepted sir. Sorry for being sharp with you. I think sometimes people get a bit too excited about a win and can't help posting about it. It is annoying though as you say.


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


    I think it's unfair to suggest after timing in this forum. In fairness, more often than not, Mike, Paulizei and Jameshayes are the ones that post prior to kick off more than anyone else and aren't ashamed to acknowledge when they lose. I'm going to after time now and list my accum from today:

    Norwich
    Cardiff
    Rotherham
    Notts Co
    Blackburn
    Sunderland
    Portsmouth
    Watford

    That'll show just how prolific I am. :o I didn't have PC access before kick off so couldn't post but as bad as my picks were I'm not ashamed to admit it. I've had 1 lovely accum lately and it's great to get it but wins like that are few and far between. Let anyone who wants to criticise post their accums prior to kick off anymore.

    Why is it unfair? It happens quite a bit.

    On the rare occasion it might happen I think it's a case (certainly in my own case) that when things are going wrong you look to get out by whatever means possible and in fairness posting here wouldn't be top priority at a time like that. It's good to get the 'I got out of jail' off your chest afterwards :D. I don't think it's a case of making up a money back bet just for the sake of it.

    I always do!

    Yeah, I can't dispute that - all I'm saying is that the 3 guys I mentioned tend to post their initial bets more than anyone else.
