What happens if it's called off, out of interest?

 

Bet becomes void. If all your others win, you just get less winnings.

 

F**k you Cheltenham.

 

Ha, don't worry, you're not the only one.

Sevilla turning a 2-0 deficit round would be nice though, as would Newells holding out. Those two could bring me £20 in which would be about two weeks worth of bets! (And writing this, Newells have just gone 3-0 up with 5 minutes left. That's £5 guarenteed, now just hoping for Sevilla...)

 

Haha, good luck mate. hoping to make up the losses of tonight with a couple of wins in the Champo League games 2morro. Dortmund, Olympiacos, PSG and Real Madrid sounds good to me at 13/1

 

I just can't see Olympiacos winning tomorrow. As many players as Arsenal are resting, I still fancy them to get a result.

 

Olympiakos will win. Mark my words. Look at Olympiakos' home record and look at Arsenal's recent form. Add to that the fact that Arsene is resting player plus they are already through. It's a banker.

2-0 away win it is then...

 

BBC: Youngsters Zak Ansah, Sead Hajrovic, Elton Monteiro, Chuba Akpom and James Shea are all in contention to make their senior debuts.

You may be right...

 

Yep, Arsenal-supporting friend showed me squad yesterday, v.weak. Don't understand Wenger's thinking? They've still got a shot at top?

Anyway, you got anything on tonight? I've got about 8 bets worth a total of about 10 quid (Accas, Goals Galore's)

 

Can't understand it either. You'd think they'd have top spot guarenteed and would never guess that fans were on Wenger's back. I reckon it'd be a competely different squad if they were at home and he knew he'd have 60,000 booing him if they lost. Still think the 3.75 with Ladbrokes is worth a few quid, though.

Got a similar lot to you - I'm actually more interested in the lower leagues, got a couple on them. Estudiantes winning last night set me up pretty well.

 

You're probably right about if it was at home. Forgot to say that i was annoyed about Cheltenham not scoring so I stupidly put a tenner on Estudiantes and CA Banfield both to win, woke up in the morning with 40 quid in my account!

 

Not bad, not bad.

Szczesny; Jenkinson, Squillaci, Vermaelen, Meade; Rosicky, Coquelin; Chamberlain, Ramsey, Gervinho; Chamakh

Slightly more promising than I'd expected - other than Meade, Squillaci and Coquelin, I'd say any of them are decent enough for Arsenal's first team. Definitely good enough to beat Olymp.

 

Stop making me nervous JH93! Really hope Olymp win as they're in two of my bets but also have BTTS in two of my Goals Galore bets. Have you bet on Arsenal tonight mate? You seem to be hoping they win!

 

Got a couple on, none with Olymp to win but two with Arsenal and one with a draw.

Put my standard 50p on Ladbroke's 5 popular bets - Arsenal (v Olym), Milan (v Zenit), Man City (v Dortmund), Read Madrid (v Ajax) and Malaga (v Anderlecht) would bring in £28. Shame I put it on yesterday - same results are available with higher odds now, £37 for 50p. I put all mine on when Arsenal were 2.7, they're 3.75 now...

Draws for Arsenal, Dinamo Zag, Man City and Lille would win me £146ish, that'd be nice.

 

Fiver on Yeovil/Wycombe, Real Madrid/Ajax, Crewe/Donny and Bury/Preston Goals Galore tonight. Pays 50 quid.

 

Bury Preston just been called off because of a waterlogged pitch.

 

Treble it is then.

 

Must be looking at about £30/35 return from that now?

 

About 30 yeah. 3 games are a minimum of 9/2.

 

Fair to say that, with the half time scores, tonight is going to be a nightmare!

 

Come on wycombe ffs!

 

Frustrating. 1 goal away in about 3 bets tonight. F**k you Crewe, City, Schalke and Port Vale.

 

Yep, f**k you Wycombe.

 

You can get 4.33 on Doncaster to beat Swindon away with Ladbrokes at the moment - Swindon have their captain out and have lost their last 2, Doncaster have won the last 4, and have won their last 4 away games.

Might be worth a couple of quid, though my tips rarely work out so maybe not.

 

Wigan at 5/4 (Corals) to beat QPR tomorrow looks a good enough bet. I'm not one to 'lump on', but I'd say thats a good price considering Wigan are decent at home and QPR's obvious form.

 

I've got my stupid bet of the weekend on, Hall FGS and Watford to win 3-1 0.20p at 375/1

 

Had RVP to score at anytime and Man Utd to win, 6/1 with Hills. Lucky to win in the end but a nice little £70.00.

Had a £5 double on Lyon/Barca tonight at odds of just over 3/1 out of the winnings.

 

Ka-ching!

 

I put £1.50 on Ath Mad and Barca both to win, got £2.44 back!

 

any recommendations / suggestions of the best online site to use?
i like going down my local bookies on a sat and getting a slip where i normally do an acca of 4 or 5 teams with a small stake - adds a bit of fun to the afternoon, but would prefer to do that from the sofa. ive dabbled with ladbrokes but think its a bit clunky.

 

Paddy Power have the best online site imo. Odds are generally decent too.

 

wimb - i would suggest you join betfair -they have a pretty good app for the mobile and you can do multiples so easy and reasonable odds -you can have a saturday morning crap, reading the form for footie horses or just getting excited over the **** on page three, whilst placing ur bet.

If you have a friend who uses a betfair account he can introduce you and he and i think maybe you get some reward. I can also recommned you and the bonys i get I would add to the forum betting fund - i think that is rewarded after you have placed £20 or £30 of bets..

All you do is add in the persons code number to rec a freind when joining which you would need to ask him for.

the other advantage is you can lay the bet if you are relying on one later kick off result.

 

You can get Theo Robinson as top scorer with bet365 for 200/1 if anyone's interested. We never should've let him go...

 

how much you had on it?

 

I thought about it for a laugh, then realised I may as well just chuck away £1.

My only top scorer bet was on Vydra a few months back, 40/1 with a fiver staked. Can get better odds than that now which is strange considering that he's now closer to the top scorer and there are fewer players between him and Murray.

My WFC promotion £5 at 20/1 is looking nicer and nicer every week, though.
