Villa losing 2-0. There goes my accumulator.

Same . I think every other result is coming in as well.

Damn Aston Villa, also I wanted Bolton and Sunderland to draw

[Phatman]

I did a £1 accumulator just now

Chelsea to win
Man City to win
Blackburn to draw
Aston Villa to win
West Ham to win

If all my selections are correct I should win about £40.

You only got 40/1 on that?!

My best wins were both throwaway pound bets: a 100/1 longshot on Middlesbrough to beat Birmingham with David Wheater to score first and a 90/1 punt on a horse called Gulliver's Travels.

I win a lot betting on Boxing or the NFL, but I don't have any particularly massive wins. But for some plucky Romanians, I'd have made around £5000 on a Euro 2008 accumulator though.

Just got two wrong as it turned out. I'd have been £1500 richer if Villa and Ipswich had won.

[That's not a growth]

Ah betting. My horrible mistress. I'm down by quite a bit this year. Which is a shame, since I have quite the skill to turn £5 into over £100 in a few days, by doing little bets and building it up. But then I get cocky and loose it all. I might start again soon but I just can't do it to my self just yet.

[That's not a growth]

And I've just put £5 back into my bet365 account. I've done an accumulator and today's football (english and euro) and some inrunning accumulators on there to be at most one more goal. I find that to be a good one when there's only 15 mins left. You may not get much, but it builds up over time.

It's bets like this that feed the families of bookie managers worldwide.

Abusing hindsight like this should be made illegal!

Ah, betting.

Used to be a bookie don'tcha know.

A little tip. There's only one winner. And that's the bookies.

Lol! I know, but it's just the sort of bet I've cut out. There's always a story of someone winning on FGS/scoreline bet but think of all the £1 or £2's down the drain. You're having to pick the match winner, how many goals each team will score and the fgs - The odds are always way too short.

My Golf bets have been poor this week, Mahan seems to run out of steam as a tournament progresses and Poults just hasn't get the bottle to win a big 72 hole tournament at the moment. Hope Padraig wins.

Edit - Padraig

Hmm, after Wigans performance at the weekend against Villa 4/5 for them to beat Wolves at home seems decent value.

[Rax]

Harrington, quintuple bogey, bollocks.

[Ropes]

My tips for the Wyndham Champs in the PGA:

Letzig 30/1
Quinney 50/1
Byrd 55/1
McCarron 55/1

All ew.

[Oblomov Boblomov]

Won two out of three accumulators tonight .

I had 50p on both of these:

(Winners)
Arsenal
FC Copenhagen
Olympiakos
Stuttgart
Middlesbrough
Luton
Oxford

and

Chelsea
Cardiff
Charlton
Leeds

I get £22.03 from the first and £7.98 from the second - woop!

This will go a little way to getting me back towards the black. A little way.

This month so far i'm up £855 with a further, possible £100 - £400 to come in depending on the free time I have.

Last month was up around £400 and the month before about the same. That's all from a combination of matched betting and blackjack bonus bagging.

Most of the money is going to pay off debt/savings but a little went towards paying for my summer holiday.

No one likes a bragger sonny.

[Doug]

I'm on a completely different scale to this guy though:

http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/sho ... 97&page=75

over £50,000 in 4 years.

[Ropes]

And some bets for the KLM Open, European Tour:

Green - 22/1
Storm - 25/1
Maybin - 28/1
Willett - 28/1

Four of the market leaders, but it's a weaker field and hopefully the run of outsider winners in this type of event will come to an end.
