Aye, because that makes sense racing in the Grand fkn NationalOriginally Posted by Spikey M
Anyone who hasn't shut down all their betting accounts by now and withdrawn all the money needs their head checked. Any sport that is still on will only exist because it's fixed.
I bet once a year and it's on this. But yes, it was shit and I am probably in a minority of non-addicts.
Monopoly Casino has been great fun

£5 on overs in the Dortmund/Schalke, Augsburg/Wolfsburg, Fortuna/Paderborn, Hoffenheim/Hertha and RB Leipzig/Freiburg games.
On BTTS in every game
Is that the train then? Fair, I can back a fun goals galore accy. Will unload on in-running market once my spidey senses kick in. Need to do the pre-game analysis tonight too.
BTTS hasn’t started off too well. Waiting on two goals. We go again.
I've also got £5 on BTTS in all the Bundesliga games and then £5 on Haaland to score, BTTS, 3 or more corners each & 10 or more booking points each in the Dortmund game.
This is going well.
Behind closed doors games will just be slow shitfests, all over the world. It's a completely different sport without a crowd.
Be really interesting to see if that holds true. I mean amateur football manages to see loads of goals.
And we're up and running.
That's because of a greater number of mistakes, and it's the environment they are conditioned for. High professionalism + no atmosphere = slow, dead football.
I say this as a veteran of around 12 full Cups of Nations on TV.
It's happening
Keep the faith.
The other thing is you don't get the rush of the crowd urging you on when it's flat.
Well there's the overs in the Dortmund game.
Need a Schalke goal (as well as some corners for them and a booking each).
And there's the first BTTS.
Augsburg and Wolfsburg are heroes.
And they're our second overs to come in.
Edit: Disallowed

Dusseldorf and Paderborn ruined my overs
Edit: Freiburg too as their injury time winner was disallowed.
Well I put £5 on BTTS and overs in the Frankfurt/Gladbach game which has come off.
I put a Schalke to score next bet which confirmed 3 seconds before Dortmund's third. Didn't even get a ride ffs.
£20 on Leverkusen to win
£5 on Kai Havertz FGS.
Kevin Volland to score and win 15/8

The bookies absolutely raking it in and with no harmful long-term impact to them by the gamblers' enforced cold turkey-ing if this forum's activity is anything to go by.
Virtual greyhounds been keeping me going
Volland is still injured, he's not playing tonight.Kevin Volland to score and win 15/8
Switched to Amiri. 5/1

He's injured too.
King Kai
I put the Kai FGS money on Leverkusen to win just before that goal
I got a gambling problem, yo. I won £500 earlier today and I’ve not been able to sleep because the thought of spending it has been on my mind all night. Finally cracked and reversed the withdrawal 15 mins ago and it’s gone already.
This has happened every time I’ve won recently when it lets you reverse the withdrawal. I’m fine with sports, weirdly. But online casinos? Ciao. I thought I blocked myself from them all, but they keep finding a way of coming to my attention. Grim.
When the fun stops, stop.
Easier said than done.
If you’re struggling with one (online slots) but fine with others (football and horses) your best bet is try and just pack it all in, cold turkey. Most bookies allow you to book a ‘cool off’ period so maybe lock yourself out for a month to start with?
I’ve never done online casinos cos I’ve never seen the appeal, so no idea if they offer the same kind of limits.

You need to get on the blocking software and blacklisting services or you'll be re-opening up or making new accounts left, right and centre.
Also, you need to stop with the 'I'm fine with sports' perspective and view it all under one toxic umbrella which you now have to battle for the next few years at least. Perfect chance to start the battle is now, too.
Take the advice and stay strong, Waff. You got this.
The missus has my money now. There’s no point in pretending it’s okay when it’s clearly an issue. I didn’t sleep at all last night, was just laying in bed with tears realising what a mess it all is.
I’m far too addictive personality wise - everything is fine in moderation but I always find a way of taking the fun out of things.
I lost 5.5k in two consecutive bets when I was 18/19 and felt a similar way. That hit me hard and I took my overall 2-3k loss and haven't gone back to big betting since. In a sense I might have been lucky to lose big early on.
A lot of the time it feels like I've got ADHD the way I get myself into trouble, but as I get older it's getting better. These days I try and lose myself in exercise first and foremost then I'm usually too tired to fuck myself up in other ways. Only advice I'll give is stay away from booze till you're in a good place again.
I never drink unless I’m out anyway. Have had a drink two or three times at most since lockdown. That’s never been an issue, more going out on binges
That's what I mean. Just one = all night.
Some dodgy movements in the Vietnam Cup. Get on it.
Just kicked off.
An Giang - Long An
15:35 Newmarket – 2000 Guineas – Saturday 6th June 2020
I can't justify betting enough to make Pinatubo's short 8/11 odds that wortwhile, but Mums Tipple could be good value at 40/1.
God I can't wait to watch Pinatubo.

Saw an advert on BT yesterday; "Here at Ladbrokes, we want you to gamble responsibly...". Aye, just like how Maccies want you to eat healthy. The gambling figures and impact for the next month are going to be to be filthy, I reckon. Hopefully they run a COVID-esque daily addicts count on the news and the industry finally gets reined in given everyone is so sensitive to factors affecting our health all pf a sudden.
Golf is back. I will post some tips each week if I remember. All each way.
Charles Schwab Challenge at Colonial in Fort Worth, Texas. This is an old fashioned ball striker's course and those wayward with the driver will be punished. McIlroy and Rahm are well worth the top two prices but there is some value from 'shorter' hitters down the field, the type of player who often does well here.
Collin Morikawa 40/1 - perhaps the best of the current American young guns but without the tedious hype of Wolff, he sets up very well here.
Matthew Fitzpatrick 45/1 - one of the best in the world from inside 130 yards, he isn't quite so hot off the tee but this is a second shot golf course and he was excellent in the
Charles Howell III 150/1 - the quiet man of the Tour, has been out there for 20 years but almost never wins, however he flushes an iron and maybe these weird crowdless circumstances will play to his advantage.
Hong Linh Ha Tinh v Hanoi FC
Pleased with these. Collin made a bit of a balls of the playoff in the end, but a terrific run before that netted a nice 50% profit overall and the other two had solid weeks as well.
This week we dixie-shuffle our way to the RBC Heritage at Hilton Head, South Carolina. This course is notorious as one of the few on tour (somewhat like Colonial last week, but more so) which gives the shorter hitters a chance, as a good wedge game and the ability to get up and down is what is needed to win around here. In normal years, a lot of the top guys would skip this as it comes right after the Masters, but it's a different story this week as everyone is playing.
First pick is a man who plays the most golf out of anyone, Sungjae Im. This is a genuinely homeless man - he travels from tournament to tournament, living out of a suitcase and earning millions of dollars in a very short space of time. His bulletproof all-round game should suit this course and at 28/1 I'm taking him over the short priced star names.
Next up, at 50/1, Kevin Kisner. I'm a long time admirer of Kiz, who has an unspectacular game but an unflappable temperament - America should pick him in every Ryder Cup team, but they never will because his face doesn't fit. Anyway, he played fine last week and I like him for this.
If it's short game you want, look no further than Shane Lowry who tends to be a bit hit and miss in the States, but undoubtedly has the touch to go well here - the most recent major winner going off at 70/1 is enough to tempt me, especially as he was tied third here last year.
Finally, everyone loves a long shot and even in a field like this, this is a course with a history that suggests that pretty much anyone can win. How about J.J. Spaun, who weighs in at 400/1 and may sound like a science fiction writer but has a few solid finishes around here in the past as well as a low-key questionable twitter feed, suggesting PGA Tour success cannot be far away.
Noticed you can’t cancel a withdrawal anymore. Bastards. I’d be up about £2-3k if that was a thing since the turn of the year.
You not knocked it on the head yet?
£20 on ponies in last two weeks to build a balance for Royal Ascot tomorrow. Haven’t touched an online casino since my post.
