Derek's Donkeys and Other Bets.

Derek!

Hello and welcome to my log
I'll keep it simple as you all know the story with logs by now.
I wont be workin off a bank system and the log will finish when it gets embarrassin
I'm not a wannabe "high roller" like cockman08 so bets will not be big ones.
I also wont be goin into detail but I will have looked into all bets I place

WARNING: Do not follow my bets unless you want to lose money!

Gavin "shels"

Goodluck man!

Derek!

I enjoy tryin to pick winners in horse racin but I'm not very good at it which explains the tiny stakes

3:25 Doncaster
Rare Ruby 6/1
€2.50 Each way

6:50 Newcastle
Opera Gal 6/1
€2.50 Each way

Total bet so far €10.00

Good luck with coppin on
Edit: unless you were messin

Derek!

Ok for this bet I thought I would try out doin a very small write up explainin why I'm pickin this horse in the hope that it might help.

8:10 Stratford Lodgician 6/1 (GP)

This horse stood out to me when lookin into the race because its a CD winner (August 2010) and seems to almost always give a good account of itself in these conditions.
Sam Twiston-Davies takes the ride today (as usual) he is obviously very familiar with this horse and seems to get the best from it.
It was only beaten by half a length upon comeback at Ffos Las on the 16th of June so I'm hopin it will go well again.

€5.00 Win

Derek!

Bet 4 comes 2nd

Drogheda United v Shamrock Rovers (over 2.5 goals)
Derry City
Shelbourne

€10 Treble, Potential Returns €38.89

Derek!

Bet 6 is fu**ed now anyway, in hindsight takin over 2.5 goals in the Rovers game was stupid
And no doubt Shelbourne will hammer Finn Harps now tomorrow :rolleyes:

Darts 18th July

Mervyn King
Wes Newton

€20 Double, Potential Return €42.93

Derek!

This is the most risky bet so far on the log
I have tried to do some dutchin on the correct score market on the darts

Phil Taylor v Mark Hylton

Correct score 10-0 25/1 €5.77
Correct score 10-1 14/1 €10.00
Correct score 10-2 8/1 €16.66
Correct score 10-3 6/1 €21.42
Correct score 10-4 11/2 €23.07
Correct score 10-5 11/2 €23.07

€100 in total for bet 8, Potential return of about €149.95

(My calculator wont cooperate)
