    Not much midweek footy left but there's a nice little treble that's worth a look tomorrow night:

    Accrington to beat Barnet (H) @ 11/8
    Notts Co to beat Darlington (A) @ 4/9
    Lyon/Bayern to draw @ 23/10

    10/1 for the treble

    Did you back any yesterday dohhhhhh, form no response im hoping you didnt, and not that you backed the loosing ones. 

    Im due a crash and it wouldtn surprise me if it came today as im feeling confident over todays selections.

    Lingfield

    2.00 - Bintalwaadi - 6/4 - £20
    2.30 - Gra Adhmhar - 9/4 - £20
    3.00 - Wheres susie - 5/1 £20 (more than id normaly put on a 5/1 shot just thin its got a great chance)
    3.30 - Quince - 9/2 - £10
    4.00 - mount Julie - 7/4 - £20
    4.30 - Craic Attack - 7/2 - £10
    5.00 - Plumage - 14/1 - £5ew
    5.30 - Waterloo Dock - 7/2 - £20

    £130 layed but expecting good things today, which means there will be 1 winner and ill get £50 back.

    N I didn't mate I went on gambling tilt coz I starved myself from 3.30 onwards waiting for the chinese to open at 5, rang on the dot, and got the answer phone saying they dont open on Mondays !!!!!!

    F-kers! 

    Anyway, Im aving 4 of the above in a lucky 15 right now!

    Yeah i very rarely use sky bet for my betting, they generally have poor odds compared to many out there.  These bets are acrossmultiple accounts.  Its worth opening up account with other companies because

    1. You will get free bets with most of them
    2. Offer better odds
    3. Have specials, such as paying extra places in certain races.
    4. Most sites offer best price, so if u take a price and sp is bigger you get it (dont think sky do)

    Was going to have some bets at yarmouth as well, but I fancy all the favourites which isnt a good thing, so ive gone for some multiples which you told me to do the other day.

    2.10 Emmas gift 13/8
    2.40 Il Forno 13/10
    3.10 Scarcity 5/2
    3.40 Atacama Sunrise 10/11
    4.10 Loyalty 4/5
    4.40 Silent Majority 5/2
    5.10 Kazbow 11/8 

    Havent took any prices with theese bets, buit they are the ebst odds currently avaiable, havent took odds as they range across different bookies.

    Ive gone for 35 £1 4 folds, 21 £1 5 folds, 7 £1 6folds and a £1 7fold

    If you look at www.oddschecker.com you'll see the best odds of the major online bookies and you'll see how poor skybet can be

    i dont use sky for betting as i find them very tight espacially ante post as gareth says always shop around i use boyles for most of my horse bets as they guarantee to pay best odds if your selection goes off at a longer price than you took.
    for opening new accounts waiting for the start of the world cup would be a good idea as the firms will be queing up to get your business. i remember before the euros in 2000 i opened about 8 phone accounts as they were all giving matched bets and free bets absolutly cleaned up!
    there a bit tighter with the free stuff now but its definatly worth opening up a few
  • edited February 2011
    Well that was a nice easy start, £50 back, hope you backed it doh but having a lucky 15 i doubt it bet you went for the bigger priced ones

    Yeh u read me right, was always gonna go for the big prices, I dunno why I tried to keep it quiet, thats like me turning my 2-3 off face up and trying to get pocket 8s to fold pre flop! agh

    Nvm, it might work
  • edited February 2011

    Skybet dun me again I forgot I was on chrome, loaded up Carter at 17/10 and Ronie -2.5 frames at 6/5 .....9/2 double.....typed in £20 but it wouldnt do it....

    Had to fire IE up and get em in but missed the break off, and they dnt do handicap betting in play?

    So gone for carter and Ronnie outright, £15 at 14/5.....Sumat to keep it interesting :)

    Yeah that was the horse i was banking on, was late picking daughter up froms chool becasuse i stayed to watch that race lol.

    3 at yarmouth and if id done my usall and bet singles id have had at least £20 on each of those at that prices, bringing back over £150 and would have covered my racing for yarmouth as id of had £20 on the loosers as well.  But as i went for 4 folds and upwards didnt win a thing.  Soooooooo im £64 down at yarmouth, and currently £80 down at lingfield, but with 1 race to go that could possibly get me £90 back.

    Been looking at sedgfield tonight, so wanna bet, but slightly on tilt lol, gotta stop myself loosing what ive won last couple of weeks.

    you sure you wanna do this after yesterday disasters??? had 6 winners but still wellllllll down.  Only having a bet this afternoon for the sake of it, only had a quick look, and small stakes comapred to alst few days.  Will have a better bet tonights racing, mrs is at college so need soemthing for then.

    2.30 - Peck Seasons - 16/1 £2.50ew (outsider of the field dont fancy anytihng in this race)
    3.05 - Tanners Court - 11/2 £5
    3.40 - Martha Elizabeth - 15/8 £20 (only horse i really fancy)
    4.15 - irish Sympathy - 13/2 - £5
    4.50 - There Ya - 10/1 - £5 (fav is big odds on and only 7 runners)
    5.25 - Newton Tonic - 33/1 - £2.50ew (as short as 16/1 with soem bookies only reason ive had it)

    As you can see im not confident about any of these really, but then when i was really confident yesterday i ahd a mare,

    Good luck all
