    Liverpool....I try to back them as often as possible :D:D = Financially, it's horrible but non financially, it's very rewarding, it's like perverse pleasure

    united, being my own team would do me out of money quite regularly, remember i had about 8 teams in an acc that would have paied out 60+ and all i needed were united who were by far the shortest odds on the slip. so they drew with villareal and did me outa cash.

    sigh

    I'd never rule anybody out. Come on sure, if some crazy guy came up to you on the street and offered you 4/6 on Liverpool beating Stoke at Anfield for example would you seriously say no because you don't back Liverpool?

    man united this season, shocking lack of wins


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,377 ✭✭✭Warper


    Liverpool - dodgy as f***


  • Registered Users Posts: 40,867 ✭✭✭✭Xavi6


    MK Dons since last season. They were notorious for ballsing up accumulators.

    Wigan. last year cost me 26/1 18/1 and 7/1 accums.
    I blacklisted them only to throw them into a treble this year when at home to
    stoke.. drew 0-0.
    Never again..

    Middlesbrough - never bet for or against them, too unpredictable

    Poland hurt me badly for a big single during the last World Cup and then let me down a few months later on a monster international week accum

    Have noticed Leeds letting me down at least two or three times already this season. Then backed them to draw last week and they won 5-2. Although the longer they stay in League One the better so not complaining too much about that one.

    Essex (the horse not the cricket team). Locals own him and anytime I backed him he lost and when I forgot or missed out he won, so to avoid been barred from the pub I decided not to back him anymore.

    I've given up on betting on defenders to score.

    Last three defencers I bet on to score where Silvestre, Dunne, Clichy.

    All scored an O.G. in the match I had the bet on.

    Didn't work when I bet on Rio when they were playing us though... :(

    Arsenal have been a disaster for me this season.

    Any time I bet for them they lost and when I backed united Arsenal won.
    Terrible stuff.:confused:

    Arsenal ?

    you having a laugh mate. The state of Arsenal this season. Although it would be like them to beat chelsea tomorrow. And then to lose to the likes of west brom next week..

    Inter Milan and Real Madrid in Europe. Awful teams!

    Italian teams in europe are bad bets because they will never try to win a game imo. more a case start out for a draw and score a goal if it comes about instead of trying to win the game straight off.

    Madrid are in bits

    Arsenal for me as well. Backed United at Emirates, then backed Arsenal at City, and if I hadn't been in self imposed exile from betfair, I'd have backed Chelsea yesterday.

    My bogey bet though, and I learned this the hard way, is betting on more goals when a big team is coasting against a poor team. Examples: United score twice in the first 20 mins against Pompey last season (think it was a midwekk game), and the game finishes 2-0. Barcelona score 5 in the first half against Almeria(?) I think, this season, and there are no more goals in the second half. There are loads more examples, just can't think of all of them.

    Generally though, losing is like winning. There is no exact science. :D

    Scottish teams (apart from the Old Firm). Anything can happen up there, particularly in the SPL.
