Blackburn @ 12 seems a bit big. £50!

I've got £1.50 on Sutton 1 Arsenal 0 for tomorrow @ 50/1, and 50p on Sutton 2 Arsenal 0 @ 100/1. The latter price is now 150/1.
I fancy Arsenal to steamroller them, in reality, but if Sutton score the first goal
Sutton 1 Arsenal 0 is now 66/1, and 2-0 is 200/1, but Arsenal's line up looks pretty good so it's not happening.

Throwing £90K about
The possible loss at any given stage is nowhere near that.
18/1 Vardy to score and Leicester to win.

Could have given that money to a homeless man you sick fuck.
Worried that Sevilla see us as so shit they aren't even arsed and won't bring home my handicap bets
They did fuck the handicap. Leicester fucking City
Raith Rovers will be starting with a midfielder in goal tonight. No idea how long it'll take the bookies to find out and adjust their odds, but there's probably still value in backing against them.
What could possibly cause that state of affairs? Do they not have youth team?
You yuppies and your youth teams. Raith have barely got 22 legs in their first team.
Every goalkeeper at the club is injured and they've already used all available emergency loans.
I'm tempted but Ayr are fucking awful
Even their youth team have been fielding trialists in goal lately. Price has moved a fair bit so not sure it's worth it any more. Ayr are indeed wank and missing a few of their own (outfielders).
It's not on Skybet.

0-0 at HT
Anyone want an 11% interest savings account?
Who the hell wants to part with two grand that badly to lay him up at 1.1?
I laid Raith at 4.2 for fairly big money, nice one John.
Tenner on the following:
Roberto Firmino to score first and either Liverpool to win 2-0 or Liverpool to win 2-1 @ 25/1
Mesut Ozil to score first and Arsenal to win 2-1 @ 100/1
James Milner to score a brace @ 28/1
Jamie Vardy (vs Hull), Joe Allen (vs Boro) and Christian Benteke (vs WBA) to score 1st [void if any player doesn't start] @ 400/1
Hoping on the bottom two.
Saw this on offer too: Bellew to be knocked down in Round 1 and 2 and Haye to win by KO in Round 3 @ 25/1 I don't think so.
I'm a twit
Paddy power has evens for Haye to win in 1-6. Up to £50. Free money.
Where's that offer Baz? Edit: not that I'm backing out now that I've read it.
Anyone going balls deep in Cheltenham next week?
I know nothing but plan on asking lots of old blokes at work for any tips.
There's a price boost (9/1) for Noel Fehily to finish as top jockey. Anyone know?

The second one's just won.
One more goal in Celta Vigo - Krasnodar, Olympiacos - Besiktas and Schalke - Borussia Munchbunch will bring the other one in.
The other one's not gonna happen. Posting it here jinxed it.
Oof. Juventus penalty in the 90th minute just netted me a decent in-play double Brighton +2 and Juventus win when 1-1.
Anyone got any picks for tomorrow?
I lost out on £100 off a fiver on Leverkusen missing the last minute penalty, thanks guys.
Leverkusen fucked me over on £80 or so off a tenner. Other teams were Juventus, Espanyol and Brighton. Useless krauts.
Alex Ferguson to win the Cheltenham opener.

Spent a long time over the past few days scouring form and jockeys and other boring horse stuff ready to win some money at Cheltenham. I'm only going to back one horse in every race, and all each way. There is one standout (dare I say Baz's Nap?) though, and that's the final race of Day Two (Wednesday) in the Championship Bumper: Irish Roe. Averaging about 25/1 at the moment but surely will drop closer to kickoff. I've read and double-checked it against the rest of the field and don't understand why it's not favourite.
If you've got a few quid in a betting account, or fancy a flutter, stick a bet on Irish Roe.
I'm a twit
Cash out? Or let it play. It's a £50 sign up bonus so I have to roll it over x10 so I think £500 means I can withdraw?

Been passed on some stuff from a guy with a pretty decent record.
Race by race:
Bunk Off Early e/w
Royal Caviar win w/o Altior
Noble Endeavour e/w & Henri Parry Morgan e/w
Petit Mouchoir e/w
Apple's Jade e/w
Genie in a Bottle win
Powersbomb e/w & Burtons Well e/w
I know fuck all about horses but went on some of those, what the fuck.
EDIT: Tho I accidentally went for just a win on some of them instead of E/W I think... Which I suppose fucks it all.
I'm having a shocker.
Hopefully the next two days prove to be better.

Overs price didn't move until 40 minutes into the first half in Anderlecht - Apoel.
Whoever was backing that has lost an awful lot. I'm baffled.
Bolton's late turnaround netted me £110.57, off a £10 free bet. Cheers Ladbrokes.
Wales on the long side tonight?
They've come in a lot, Ireland are missing a load of regulars. I've abstained.
I'm involved sheepside.

Bad day yesterday.
How the fuck does USA not beat Panama? I mean does Panama even have a football team? Fuck.
The Masters (it's next week, I'm on early). Normally I back Bubba Watson as a matter of course, but I'm afraid on principle I am unable to back anyone who uses a pink golf ball. Dustin Johnson is the favourite at 5/1 and his form merits it, but 5/1 is too short for anyone to win a golf tournament unless it's peak Tiger (who used to depart the gates at 2/1 or shorter, bless his feline socks).
Rory McIlroy 7/1. I like his chances compared to the equal priced Spieth. McIlroy's had a couple of strong finishes in strong tournaments of late, nice low key preparation, no one's really focusing on him as DJ burns the road, and he'll be a lot fresher than some.
Rickie Fowler 25/1. I hate myself for doing this as it defies all logic. He has an average to poor record here, his one top five being in 2014 when he was top five in all the majors without winning one, but even then the T5 here was his lowest. Last year he missed the cut. AND YET I think he's finally grown up now and I just have a hunch.
Phil Mickelson 25/1. There's no point watching the Masters unless you've backed Phil. The course is made for him, he's a three time winner, he's played some lovely stuff of late and he's Phil the Thrill, he can do anything on a given day. Fuck he's great, just ask him.
Jimmy Walker 80/1 each way. He's the most recent major champion. His form goes up and down even within a tournament (he loves to pull out the triple bogey when everything's going well) but he's played well here before and 80/1 looks awfully long to me.
Ross Fisher 150/1 each way. The odds here seem fair until you consider some of the other utter goons who are also 150/1, like Webb Simpson, and Hideto Tanihara, and Pat 'the Mullet' Perez. Fisher is back for the first time in a while, has been near the top of most things he's entered recently and is bang in form. I'd also think about Soren Kjeldsen at the same price, who was top 5 here last year and putts like a dream.
Steve Stricker 200/1 each way. I'm not sure how he even qualified for this as he barely plays anymore, but experience counts around Augusta. Looking at his record he's played this 15 times, making the cut 10 times including the last 7 in a row. Only a best of T6, but you can't count out OAPs who can putt on this course. Which does not bring us on to...
Ernie Els 300/1 each way. Pure sentimental pick but wouldn't it just be awesome.
People who I think are too short include Jon Rahm 20/1 (will win multiple majors but nobody wins first time at Augusta, ever, except Fuzzy Zoeller 40+ years ago), Jason Day 16/1, Spieth 7/1 (should be 10), and Ian Woosnam 500/1 which is bafflingly short.
I have no clue what sport this even is.
