Ibrahimovic to score at any time

And he hits the post

jesus christ. you lot are some of the worst gamblers i've ever come across.

The gods of fate are against me

 

[thriller]

And he hits the post

got the goal you wanted

 

[tar1984]

got the goal you wanted

I felt elated for a few seconds, before I remembered it is only worth £2 odds.. hell I'm still fairly pleased

 

[not-bono-ever]

Ok this is my last stand, betting wise. The 70p left in my account is going on

Sweden to win by exactly 1 goal
Ibrahimovic to score at any time

Potential returns: £2.61.

Hardly striking gold if that comes in, but it gives me a little more to play with in future games. I set myself a £5 limit for the first week, so when this credit is gone it's gone.

looking good for you so far

I feel theres a draw in this game though

You could be right! 1-1

 

[not-bono-ever]

^^^^^^ see !!!!

 

[tar1984]

Even if sweden don't win by one goal, those bets were singles so I have won £1.08 already

urban 75 euro 2012 betting mega-fail

Just think, I've still got all my stake money!

 

[not-bono-ever]

I havent managed to get a decent live spread bet so far, what with kids n household shit - need to knuckle down and get on top of it

 

[Libertad]

If I'd hedged my stake into four bets I could've covered the major variables and come out with £165. But I didn't. Twat.

 

[Lo Siento.]

had a bet on a draw last night, but I'm still up from my other bets. Just put a bet on the Czechs to score next at 11/10, and on Russia to win at 6/4. The latter seems like a proper giveaway to me, given how good they were the other night...

 

[baffled]

Gone for a Croatia/Jelavic anytime double.

 

[The39thStep]

mmm........my Torres to score a hatrick and Spain to win 4-1 looked at one point to be possible apart from Torres going off and Ireland never looking like scoring.

France win and England 1-0 win double tonight £10 at 14-1

 

[articul8]

Oh yes - Carroll to score a header 11/2, Carroll to score first 13/2...still got Carroll 1-0 in the Scorecast. Happy Days!

 

[souljacker]

Tried to place a bet for carroll scores first, England 1-0 and the betfair mobile app was playing up so didnt bother.

 

[Mr.Bishie]

Germany are so going to win this.

7-1 in Jan!

<stabs self in eye with pointy pencil>

 

[The39thStep]

what are the odds on another game being stopped because of rain?

 

[thriller]

so who bet on italy to make it to finals?

 

[Kanda]

<stabs self in eye with pointy pencil>

oops.

 

[marty21]

I've lost about a tenner - mostly thanks to Italy not being shite

 

[thriller]

i put 16/1 bet each way on italy to win finals, but skybet haven't paid up. Dont get it. They made it to final, so why not just pay

 

[Mr.Bishie]

oops.

Quite! Still in shock after that result!

 

[Kanda]

They won't pay until the last game has been played. Pretty standard when betting on the final.

I just assumed they would pay as italy made it to final. Have to wait till Sunday before collecting winnings....

 

[Lo Siento.]

so, after running at a loss for the entire tournament, if Italy win the final, I'll finish up with a profit. FORZA AZZURRI

You know you get more if they win the final and less if they lose, right? That's how e/w works.

Yeah. I wasn't thinking clearly. Think was just surprised Italy made it and thought about the money. have been rather good with bets recently. £180 won on grand national. £145 on The Voice and now money on Italy. I'm gonna quit while I'm ahead.

 

[thriller]

well. i won £198 on Italy.

rather chuffed. going transfered straight into savings account.
