Started gambling a few years ago and keep an eye on how i do but wouldnt have an accurate figure and have been following a few of these boards threads and find them good fun so said id start my own to see how i get on.
I never bet on the horses except the odd one of aidankkk's tips when i see them on time. Its usually gaa, snooker, soccer, tennis, darts.
Ill be shocked if i end up in the +figures but sure ud never know:D there will be a good few odds on shots. And ill admit from the start i wont be putting my real life money on ALL of the bets for various reasons, main one being cashflow and money i already have tied up on longish term bets, but i will be puttin on most of the bets.

Going to start with 1000 points. My 1st target is to try to double it.

I have accounts with boyles, pp, and betfair so it will be odds from those 3 ill be using.

TheHopeful

Darts accum for tonight:
Jones to beat Lewis 8/5
Van Gerwen to beat Seyler 8/15
Barney to beat Hamilton 1/3
Baxter to beat Tabern 8/13
Not too confident of any of these because of shortness of the matches, i.e best of 11, but the odds for the accum is good value i think.

10 points......possible return 85.87(boyles)

TheHopeful

Lumping on Kerry tomorrow.
I know they are missin 2 key players (O'Shea and Galvin), and Down are an improving team, but they stuggled badly against an average Offaly team 2 weeks ago and were lucky enuf to win. Sligo arent a good team and were deflated after the Roscommon match so the hammering Down gave them wasnt anythin special. Kerry will be fresh and with 2 of the best forwards in Ireland in Cooper and Donaghy I think they will fire them into the semi final by 5 or 6 points.
400 points on Kerry to qualify for the next round 1/4 (PP)
30 points on Kerry -4 11/10 (PP)

NEVER chase losses..

Vurnon San Benito

Each to their own I suppose.

TheHopeful

Bit of a disaster so far very frustrating as i have been up overall in the last 2 years but this thread paints me in a bad light. Call it chasing losses if u will but i was always intending to bet on tyrone and fisher, but in fairness not as much. Was tempted to run off into the long grass and not bother with this thread anymore but fcuk it i have 139 points left and god loves a tryer!
Here goes nothin.
Kildare -2 15/8 & roscommon +11 4/9 139 returns 577.24 (PP)

TheHopeful

2 of the 3 golfers are in decent position after 2 rounds. Mahan and Kelly.

Going big on Kilkenny this wkend

RTE man of the match Kilkenny v Cork:
TJ Reid 5 at 18/1(PP)
N Hickey 5 at 20/1(PP)

TheHopeful

Very good wkend for me
Goin to work out my total bank now because because iv let this thread get very messy.
The last total was 577.24.
Since then:
-10(rte motm)
-5(4team soccer accum)
-40(3 golfers)
That gives me 577.24 - 55 = 522.24

+30(Juventus)
+100(Kilkenny)
+645(Hunter Mahan)
+26(Jerry Kelly)
That gives me a new bank of 522.24 + 801 = 1323.24:pac:

I did take the stakes off 1st, its up there -40, 2x5e/w's and 10ew on mahan = 40. So i think the figures are correct.

Had a very nervous wkend, was over in liverpool and had no internet access so cudnt remember which way round i did my log and real bets. I knew i included blackpool in one of them and was thinkin it was in this log but wasnt 100% sure. Just had Clare minors and Tipp in my actual real bet thank god(screenshot if anyone wants it). Just tryin to be greedy on here i suppose includin blackpool. Thought Dustin Johnson had it in the bag for the American winner bet!!!

Overall bank is now down to 988.24

Im also going to post screenshots of all my season long bets on this log just to have them up somewhere, instead of just posting any winning bets at the end of the season.
