Bad Ade!

I don't mind as long as no one else scored. In fact I hope Spurs don't score any more goals this year, that would do perfect.

Is it just me or was Golantilla's performance today pure sh1t ?? You'll get 14's and 16's now but I couldn't have him after that performance. To hold a horse for almost a full year and have him beaten 16 lengths. I know horses do come on for the run and the trainer has a history of doing this but is it realistic to think this horse will improve that much in 2 weeks ?
Hardly...... and there goes me antpost bet !!

Following on from my many rants against the youth of today there are actually people in my office who say "that sucks"

Who the **** uses the word "sucks". Too much Facebook & US television.

I think I've said it before but I really & truly no longer care what kind of world I leave behind anymore

Couldn't remember withdrawing anything with them lately, account history show three withdrawals cancelled today, the biggest of them I'm sure was from around Christmas it must have never gone through anyone have this?

I have an a/c but rarely use it

Think I'd to verify before the first withdrawal but not after that.

UrbanSea

Absolutely unbelievable. I just assumed the withdrawals had gone through hadn't checked my bank statement.


The first withdrawal was the 17th of December why on earth is it taking two months??

Colonel Sanders

Get onto live chat

I assume you've had successful withdrawals before this?

If you get speaking to a woman laugh every time you or her say "withdrawal"

UrbanSea

No that was the first one. Sent off some pics I'll see what they say.

They're a nightmare to get sorted with.

I had to get onto them on Twitter to get any replies, email was a waste of time. Was waiting ages on account being verified.

Spotted it last night and thought it was generous, but said I'd wait to back United tomorrow... But after looking at the Olympiakos form I'll probably leave that too.

Greek league is fairly weak though. A lot of the other teams have serious enough financial problems.

They also have injury problems up front... I'm just a sucker for the heart over head bets(Ireland on Sat) and I feel this might be one... will have to sleep on it.


Urban ring Coral and ask for their verification phone number(it's not listed anywhere on their site as far as I could find). They are open normal working hours and they were actually dead on and fast tracked my verification over the phone immediately, provided you've e-mailed them the documents.

I think it was 6/5, definitely odds against anyhow.

Looks like Sprinter Sacre has been taken out of the Betfair Champion Chase market

They seem to be doing that these days even for races with supplementary stages. The amount matched on the event is way higher than the sum of the amount matched on those still in so they obviously haven't settled the SS bets

I was waiting to see if SS hit astronomical prices on Betfair before Nicky said after his thorough examination at Newmarket they found something small was wrong with him, he was back to himself and they'd be running him at Cheltenham a la Binocular.

Any pool fans? Biggest money match maybe ever in the country on Saturday, Dempsey/McCarthy. If anyone fancies some action on it, pm me.

Who do you fancy

Richie I'll give you 4/6 Dempsey and 1/2 McCarthy. A fair book

Stevie is flyong. Great run at Malta recently, cool victory over Karl. McCarthy is arguably the best money player here or the uk, though. I've backed Dempsey for a decent sum. I'd make him a 4\6 or so favorite. Obviously its evens each of two, so I've backed Stevie.

Hes not favourite, no chance is Dempsey 4/6. Apart from beating Karl he's been poor enough at tour events this year. No finals and not many if any semi finals. Obviously still class, but no way he's a favourite against Ronan

carpothepunk

Having seen Ronan play recently enough, I couldn't male him favorite. Stephen is different gravy, if I'm honest. But like I said, mccarthy is arguably the best money player in the country. I'll have a bet with you if you fancy mccarthy? Save me getting on with someone else.

carpothepunk

Also, Dempsey second in rankings this year. Playing well in cash games. Good run in Malta as I said. Very consistent on the tour. Arguably playing better pool more frequently than McCarthy.

Hes 5th, only in second at the moment because of the overlap from last year

Yes

That's true, on further inspection. Point re more frequent quality pool stands.

Ronan did reach the IPA worlds semi finals, only batten by Gareth Potts, so its not like he's struggling

carpothepunk

I'll have a bet with you anyway if you fancy. I'll be getting on with Conor or someone anyway, so fire away. Hopefully see you Saturday regardless. Should be an absolute cracker.

RichieLawlor

Sent you a pm

Advertising(good or bad) is whats it's all about. In fairness PP are the best at keeping the name constantly out there. It's working your're talking about it;)

The ****ing gaul of the guy whinging about not being allowed to compete against able bodied athletes and then whinging about some guy whose blade gave him an unfair advantage, horrible **** if you ask me.

7/4 guilty is free money, allow me to set the scene:

Someone broke into my house, walked passed our bed without waking either of us, locked themselves in the bathroom and then I heard them. I put my legs on which took about 30 seconds during which time I did not realise my girlfriend was not in bed nor did I try to tell her someone had broken in and I was going to investigate with a gun.

Then I fired a few shots through the door and at no point did my girlfriend say I am in the bathroom or scream and say stop shooting Oscar, I only realised it was her after I had fired four shots through a locked door. Oh and I never fired shots out of a car sunroof or at a restaurant in wanton craziness with firearms. Three incidents of lunacy with guns, they should probably test him for drugs.

Sounds like a clear case of not guilty :rolleyes:

Hope the prick never sees the light of day again.

Tbh I'd be less likely to bet with them with their OTT marketing. Getting a bit annoying at this stage.

Have no interest in the outcome of the case myself. But hats off to the marketing department I guess, novelty event betting like this places them right near the top of all the Cheltenham news on the RP website(exactly what they want with 2 weeks to the festival).

I presume they couldnt do this in the Irish or UK so I guess they thought they might get away with it being in SA. Doubt there would be much money for it in all honesty.

Agree with you. Its getting annoying at this stage and that hunt ball incident last year was extremely stupid.
