As the majority of you know, superthreads/threads with more 10K posts are causing some problems with the running of boards and the reason is that every 10th post on a thread, VBulletin implements a recount on the number of posts on it to make sure it's correct which has implications for the number of pages and so on.

Just to get used to the decimal odds... If I have a bet that returns a total of €6.60 for a stake of €1, does that make it odds of 6.6?

And to make it relevant to the thread this is what I'm going for tonight;

Treble on MK Dons @ even, Southhampton @ 8/11, and Sheff Utd @ 10/11 turns out that 5.6/1, or 6.6 (If I'm doing it right).

Ah ok, I thought the decimal odds included the 1. I thought 5/1 odds were 6.0, and 11/1 odds were 12.0, and so on.

Like the look of MK dons tonight @ EVENS. They've won their last six matches on the trot, beating Norwich away in the Carling cup also 4-0 which was pretty impressive. They play at home to Brentford who have lost three of their last 5 games. I think Evens is a very good price for an in-form team. Going with treble of bury, bournmeth and mk @ 5.5/1

Dont know if anyone has noticed but PP have MK Dons new signing Charlie MacDonald bought from Brentford @ 2/1 to score anytime tonight. Crazy thing is hes still down on the Brentford scorers list:pac: I see they still have Baldock on the MK Dons list even though hes with WHam now!! Surely MacDonald worth a few quid tonight now:D

No it would be 6.60. You multiply your stake by the decimal odds and you get your returns.

Sounds like a good tip. So instead of being on the outsiders team he is actually playing for the favourites, whose second most likely goalscorer no longer actually plays for them :D What a joke!

Yep and I read he was left in the Brentford reserves for a while before he signed for MK. Hes meant to be starting too going by Sky. Id say hel be eager enough to get on the scoresheet:pac: Shame ya cant do the MK-MacDonald wincast though!

Im on The MK band wagon. MacDonald wincast @ 5/2. And im doing a single aswell to win. my other double is Southampton and Crawley. I rang PP to get the 5/2 price. They said to ring and ask for a supervisor about the MK Dons game/ wincast and they will give that price to whoever. Mon MK DONS!!

Wouldn't say that

Baldemar one was a heavy one alright, never would usually go that high but was given a seriously strong tip before the race so i went with it.

Another unplace. Silverware... led for most of the race but didn't have the distance.

If I only had the money (and the balls) to go for bigger stakes. Have had some decent tips last few weeks.

You can get them a bit better on Betfair 8/7 and William hill @ 11/10, but just a bit worried in case they field a weekend team, gonna wait till nearer kick off to bet on it
