On-line betting

**S�C** · 12/02/2004, 3:53 PM

Does anyone here ever do any online betting?

I use Paddypower.com a fair bit, good fun to be had. I usually only bet a pound and do big accumulators, like last night I would have won �40 after betting .50p but bloody Man. United lost when i had them down to win. I have one for the weekend of 12 matches where �1 will win me �3,500 involving Scottish premier and English division one matches.

You could make serious money on eL games because they get the odds badly wrong at times, especially division one.

Anyone use the other sites?

I must be wrong here, but after looking at Powers and Ladbrokes websites, they state that the minimum on line bet is �10.....you can't possibly bet �1 or 50c, so either you're talking out your arse or getting away with murder online!!

I stand corrected........apologies

I think you'll find that the minimum bet with PP is 40c

I have a few bets on the FA cup at the weekend.
It's a bit of craic online alright, sticking �1 on 4 or 5 games and finding yourself actually cheering for Liverpool to win or something crazy like that.

The bets of the weekend have to be,
R Dunne to wear a honeymonster costume for the match 250-1
and
Alf Haaland to make a shock reappearance and play for Man City in the game 500-1

Tis alright, your sorta right

You have to lodge money into your account via credit/debit card. The least that you can lodge is a tenner (tenner sterling or tenner euro).

Then you get your money back by requesting that they send you out a cheque.

I find a pound a weekend can turn listening to reports of Reading versus Crewe an interesting activity!

Had Man Yoo to win 3-2 at 28/1

And West Ham drawing spoiled my treble of
Liverpool to draw,
Sunderland to draw
and West Ham to win.

Put �2 on Man Yoo to draw Arsenal in the 1/4 Finals at 11/2

Just noticed Paddypower use a picture of the city team standing in a wall as one of their main pictures.

What race is she running in?
Realism is 6-4 in the 4:20 at Wolverhampton.
You shun realism though Max, don't you?

**S�C** · 27/02/2004, 2:42 PM

I had 8 teams in an accumlator last night, blood Parma let me down. Useless so and sos. Would have been a handy amount of cash.

Well Peadar if you want to make money at low risk go for Celtic Rangers Arsenal to win. You might just about double your money.

Munster to beat the Neath/Swansea Ospreys too.

oh yea I usually beat on a horse/madra with rebel in the name too over the weekend just for the laugh/novel value.

Still havnt found one called Rebel Army tho'!

I had,
Chelsea to win,
Deportivo to win,
Blackpool to win,
Birmingham and Sunderland to draw,
Sociedad to win
Nottm Forest and Gillingham to draw

I would have got over �550 return for my �1 but Lyon beat Sociedad. Sickening blow!
My mate had �5 on the double last night for Celtic to win 3-0 and Liverpool to win 2-0. He won over �200.
I've done a few accumulators for tomorrow and Sunday.
