Probably the greatest ever. Prince of Burma at 22s with VC the time he won as 5/2 favourite close behind

Watched the match on First Row

they're a total joke

About 10 lads I know (including myself) got the same PFO e-mail in the space of about a month. No restrictions just all shut down

The best stroke ever pulled on boards was the time Paddy had that footy team ridiculousy priced up +1 or 2 with something like 10 mins left and they winning. There was thousands won.

One thing about Liverpool is they should just play midfielders and forwards, all the ****e defenders do is score own goals or gift goals, must be 20 goals they have given away this season, two more today when a win would move them right up.

Yeah thats the one, got a couple grand off it myself iirc.
I remember they paid out, and afterwards claimed palpable, but my money was well withdrawn at that stage, so they put my acc -2000 or whatever it was I won. Then they went the good will route when they realised I wasn't giving it back. Haha

Seriously hope there was no one stupid enough to give it back. That said someone did back Plinth at the weekend at 1/12 antepost

Anyone heading to the Salthill chelt preview

Each time I hear adeboyor has scored on the radio, the username jimjamcos & 33/1 flashes before my eyes. What a punt.

Champion League last 16 next week, time to start backing draws in the first legs blind. Think its 32% of first leg games have ended in draws (spreadsheet on work computer, will look tomorrow)

Supposedly huge edge in playing bookings too (think a lad told me they're always pitched too high in the first legs) but I don't spread bet

Must have a look at The World Cup over the next few weeks too, serious draw bias in the knock out stages of the Euros. Before last year some ridiculous % of knock out matches were drawn (40%+)

Be interesting to see if its repeated in the WC

Bastards 1.5%? As well as increasing commission

Colonel Sanders

What card did you use Urban?

Charge for credit cards. If you use Visa debit they charge initially but refund (usually within 24hrs). They told me it's something to do with the way their card system is set up. They told me about 3 yrs ago they planned to change it but still haven't

JONJO THE MISER

Have not used Betfair in around 2 years but thats a disgrace if they charge deposit fees, there gone to hell if you ask me.
