Derek's Donkeys and Other Bets.

€210, spurrs were 8/13 to beat hearts during the week.

Derek!

That would be a very nice return for your money.
Hard to believe Spurs were 8/13 considerin how well they won.

Derek!

€51.40 Profit from the last 2 bets, and although i'm still at a loss i'm feelin more positive about the log than I was.

-209.60

Derek!

I really like the look of my next bet, but when I like the look of a bet more often than not it doesn't turn out good

Anyway feck it! I'll stick with a €30 stake as it's goin well for me at the moment :pac:

United v Spurs
over 2.5 goals @ 4/5

€30, Potential Return €54


You may have noticed I couldn't be bothered numberin the bets anymore.



United v Spurs
CS, 2-1 to United @ 13/2

€5, Potential Return €37.50


It's lookin like a sh1t day again, it's not quite been the goal filled match I expected.

Soarer

Saw this morning on PP that Spurs were 5/1 to win! Given the way they played during the week, the way United played last week, and the injuries United have, I had to throw a snakey tenner on that.
For the less adventurous, Draw-No Bet was still 3/1 for Spurs!

Just thinking out loud really. Back on thread!;)

Derek!

All things considered 5/1 was a very good price
I think if United do win it wont be by much, maybe a goal.

I cant wish you luck though since I follow United :pac:

Derek!

I'll have to start doubtin my bets at half time more often
Twice in a row now that's happened!

Still at a loss but that was my own stupidity doin 2 big stupid bets

-190.60

If I can keep slowly gettin it back i'll be happy enough.

Well done, gently does it and you'll do grand.

Derek!

Nice one James, and thanks for gettin me thinkin about singles again.
I know it seems very basic for a gambler, but it seems I got caught up with the better odds that multiples offer.

I will still do the odd one of course if I really fancy it, but I'd rather be winnin on shorter odds more often than bein let down by the last part of a multiple.

I wouldn't let the running total bother you
You're on a very decent run at the moment :cool:

Derek!

Thanks James, It's a shame I done them 2 big bets.
if I didn't i'd be in profit now, but lesson learned

Derek!

York City v Alfreton Town
Over 3.5 Goals @ 7/4

€20, Potential Return €55

Derek!

The last bet was a mile away.

Barcelona v Villareal
Over 3.5 Goals @ evens

€20, Potential Return €40

Good work again Sir, I was impressed with your stake after the loss

Derek!

Thanks James, I may be subconsciously usin a stakin plan

Derek!

I may start doin some live bettin in my log, i've had some success with it the last few days.
You can get better prices to, for example if a match 10 minutes in is still 0-0 the price of most things goes up. Goals and stuff

Derek!

I haven't been botherin with this log lately but once I see the Mexico team later I might have another bet for it.

If I had of been puttin my live bets in here I'd be well in profit now just this week. ah well

Derek!

I'm strongly considerin my second biggest ever bet on Kerry in the AI final.
It's not nice to admit but I think they will win it easy, at least if they do win then i'll have some form of compensation!

Derek!

My first time pickin a horse in ages, lets see if there still as bad as before :pac:

5:20 Doncaster
Picabo 8/1

€5 Win

Derek!

5:00 Carlisle
Syncopated Lady 13/2

€5 Win (free bet)

Derek!

I'd be amazed if they were beaten or drew. I have €157 falling on them at 4/6, €100 of that is my own cash. In saying that I don't think I'll be putting any more on them. For me €100 is a very big bet.

It seems a safe bet to me to be honest, so I expect you to win.
I made a stupid mistake put my money into Betfair and then seen it @ 8/11 on Ladbrokes last night :mad:

I'm goin to decide what size bet to put on it soon, but it will be huge for me.
