£1 E/W - Danny Willett @ 301

[Baz]

Justin Thomas WIN
Bubba Watson WIN
Patrick Reed EW
Patrick Cantlay EW
Russell Henley EW
And of course Kiradech Aphibarnrat EW

(EW places to 10th.)

[Jimmy Floyd]

Taking Baz's team over Boydy's there.

EW to 10th is a double edged sword because it absolutely slashes the prices. Absurd overround of like 150% on the market.

[Baz]

Bored between watching rugby and going to bed so I've put two 20-selection accumulators on, £1 each.

They're mostly a mix of over 1.5, 2.5 and 3.5 goals with a few handicaps thrown in for good measure.

One pays £976.27 and the other £3,606.35.

[SincereTheRebel]

Brechin are a funny case of ending up in a division which you're nowhere near good enough for.

Went up through the league one play-offs last season despite being perhaps the worst team in the league. Went off second favs against Stenhousemuir, who finished bottom, in the last game of the season, then fluked their way through the play-offs.

Could rather have done with knowing about all of this about eight months ago, instead of being filled in recently by someone who's been profiting off this information since August.

Brechin City vs St. Mirren -2 @1.8
Brechin havent won a league game in the scottish championship all season.

Hamburger SV vs Schalke 04 @1,8
Hamburger are rock button without a win the last 15 league games. Schalke are second with 5 wins in a row.

Edit: two hard loses this week. Other bets havent made up for loses. Down about £50 so far this weekend.

Justin Thomas WIN
Bubba Watson WIN
Patrick Reed EW
Patrick Cantlay EW
Russell Henley EW
And of course Kiradech Aphibarnrat EW

[Jimmy Floyd]

What was he, 30/1? Great effort. I made about £130 off £40 stakes which is a lot better than I normally do. Roll on the US Open at Shinnecock.

[Boydy]

I won nothing.

Thomas was my highest place bet at what, joint 17th or something?

[Baz]

40/1 on Sky bet.

All in I bet about £20 and won £104 so not bad. Withdrawn £100 to make up for recent losses, including Cheltenham, and got £4 to go again.

[Max Power]

Claude Puel next manager to leave at 66/1 is worth a couple quid.

Form is bad and the extremely strong dressing room has already started briefing the press about how shit he is. Owners always will side with players and aren’t afraid to pull trigger mid season.

[SincereTheRebel]

Italy - Serie B
Monday 9th April 2018
730pm
Avellino vs Perugia @2.3
Avellino have won two games this year. Perugia are fighting in the play-offs and have not lost in eight league games.

England - League 2
Tuesday 10th April
745pm
Morecambe @2.4 vs Chesterfield
20th vs 24th (bottom). Chesterfield have won two away games all season.

edit: Perugia lost and Morecambe drew

[Baz]

BTTS Liverpool win @ 9/1
Lovren to score and win @ 66/1
Firmino to score @ 7/2

Only £1 on each.

[Mazuuurk]

I'm on Man City to go through at 5.5 and on a draw between Roma & Barca at 4.6.

Starting nicely.

[Baz]

BTTS Liverpool win @ 9/1
Lovren to score and win @ 66/1
Firmino to score @ 7/2

Only £1 on each.

£14.50 return and into the semis.

[Baz]

Aintree festival is upon us! I received three tips yesterday and they all came in. They all won too, nevermind placed.
Finian's Oscar 5-2
L'Ami Serge 5-1
Bentelimar 10-1
Needless to say, I didn’t back them. The treble would have been 230/1 too. Hopefully I’ll get some more tips today and stick £12 on a Trixie.

[niko_cee]

Family bets on the national are as follows:

£5 Tiger Roll to win
£5 E/W Seeyouatmidnight
£2.50 E/W Chase the Spud
£2 E/W Milansbar
£2 E/W Baie Des Iles
£2 E/W Alpha Des Obeaux
£2 E/W Final Nudge
£2 E/W Chidlrens List

Backing the field.

[Baz]

Some bloke in Betfred yesterday asked the difference between win and each way. Good ol’ Grand National.

I’ve chosen so many horses, including Milansbar and those two French sounding ones above but it was getting out of hand so I’ve just gone for Raz De Maree and Bless The Wings mostly because of the jockeys.

[Spikey M]

I’m going to be repeating my tried and tested method of picking the horses with the names I like (and the ones my wife does) and then sticking a quid on the one with the longest odds.

[Kikó]

Bet365 is giving half back before 12 on Ew bets.

[Nick]

Absolutely the only way to pick horses for the national. Stuck a tenner on Gas Line Boy @ 26 and I Just Know @ 19 for that very reason.

Also got £10 on:

Boro
Swansea/Everton BTS
QPR vs Preston BTS
Bristol Rovers vs Blackburn BTS
Charlton vs Scunthorpe BTS

at around 19.

[-james-]

Alpha des obeaux e/w 40/1
Vieux Lion Rouge e/w 33/1
Houblon des obeaux e/w 33/1
Lord Windermere e/w 66/1
Pendra e/w 80/1


Anything under 25/1 is a scam. If I've picked the winner in the National I want to be bloody well rewarded for it.

[Spikey M]

Total Recall 11/1
Tiger Roll 14/1
Chase The Spud 22/1
Final Nudge 28/1
Children’s List 66/1
Pendra 100/1

All £1 E/W because I’m a regular fucking Rockefella.

[Magic]

Put a tenner on EW on Virgilio. 66/1

Also my accumulator being let down by Hull and Watford.

Same thing happened with that many clouds cunt. Fuck horses.

[Spikey M]

One of them’s dead by the looks of it.

[Spikey M]

£8 profit. Make it rain.

[Bam]

Who come 5th?

[Shindig]

Tiger Roll was my workplace sweepstake one. Unfortunately, it's for restaurant vouchers rather than actual money.

[Magic]

Bet it's Frankie & Bennys as well.

[Shindig]

It'll be Nando's or Ask Italian.

[Foe]

It'll be Nando's or Ask Italian.

Some say vouchers have a monetary value also shindig. Could just be rumours though.

[Boydy]

Also had £2 each way on Warriors Tale which doesn't seem to have been settled yet for some reason but it hasn't won anything.

Sweepstake at work was useless though.

[Baz]

[Baz]

In wiv da tipsta crew.

[SincereTheRebel]

Jesse Varvas @1.75 vs Adrien Broner - Is too goos to be true. Broner isn't worth picking in any somewhat 50/50 fight. I don't see broner winning at all.

[SincereTheRebel]

After reviewing this seasons football betting, I'm £423 in profit. Considering I bet every weekend, its pathetic. If I didn't come across Brechin the past month, I would have been negative £66

They didn't record a win all season.

If you're a recreational gambler, I think any figure above zero is a job well done.

[Mazuuurk]

On that topic, are you planning on betting on the WC dino?

[Baz]

Huddersfield are 25/1 vs City.

[Mazuuurk]

City will win so yeah.

[-james-]

On that topic, are you planning on betting on the WC dino?

Yes. I'm not going to be able to watch 70 odd games of football without wanting to have money involved. I'm not sure how much time I'll have to do prep work on it, or really how I will approach it, so whether it is profitable or not remains to be seen.

I broke even on Euro 2016 iirc. Would have been a good tournament if I hadn't bet the farm on Ukraine being good, which they were very much not.

[-james-]

Australia to finish bottom of their group is the NAP though.

[Jimmy Floyd]

I'm never going to top backing Costa Rica to top the group last time out. One of those where in hindsight you regret the pathetic stake.

I probably know less about the teams this time than at any time since 1998, so it should be like childhood wonder again.

[Kikó]

My Boy Jack in the KENTUCKY DERBY YEEEHAAAA tonight. 25/1 on Bet365.

[Baz]

My Boy Jack in the KENTUCKY DERBY YEEEHAAAA tonight. 25/1 on Bet365.

Why you betting on that?

From my very limited research I’d have gone with Hofburg @ 16/1 to WIN.

[Kikó]

Finished 5th. 30 from 10.
