Mine didn't go to plan, not much lost though. Annoyingly I talked myself out of backing Vertonghen to score anytime. There was definitely some value in his odds but I convinced myself he was too long to bother with.

Nice Zen, I had a similar bet going but it also had Italy to win. :(

Went for a couple of smaller bets today, £10 on England to win to nil and £10 on Belgium, Germany & Russia to win. Roughly £50 return, can't argue, especially considering I'd have said they were bankers.

:eek: I wouldn't have the balls to put £90 on.
That's how I play though, never more than two/three games in an accumulator. I rather bet high on low to moderate odds than low on high to extreme odds.

Anything interesting for today? Still need to turn over another £130 to be able to cash out my deposit bonus.

Lost out on another semi-big accumulator earlier, dunno why I kept England instead of Serbia.....though I guess one drawing at the weekend was why, but the other 7 I had all came through. Win some lose some eh, came out of the Internationals a ton up, so not too shabby.

Crazy odds. They're playin the team thats bottom of the table aren't they
Yep, and 7 of their players had a virus during the week, they even had to cancel training because of it! Bookies must have known something we didn't, feck Celtic.

I was delighted to have wasted money on an accumulator which was let down by only City and Chelsea

Money well spent

Got Stoke/Liverpool/QPR already in a 5 draw accumulator. Anyone think Reading can take a point off Spurs? Im more hopeful of Newcastle getting a draw Could be in for 300 notes here if I get two draws tomorrow.
I think theres a good chance of 2 draws. Spurs are absolutely shocking at winning games that they're expected to. The other has a draw written all over it, although Everton are liable to do anythin, a team i usually avoid betting on.

well played brwned, not sure how it stayed 1-1 but good for you! how much was your stake?
It's always the way with Liverpool! You think surely they'll get a goal towards the end, Agger'll sneak one from a corner, but they never do.

Just £2. Never have it in me to bet anything more when the odds are 30/1 or more. £2's nothing, a £5er just seems like a waste.

FML. Had Udinese won, I would've got 2500 from a 9 match acc. They were winning at HT 2-0 as well... :mad:

So anyone doing something tonight's CL matches? For once, I can't see a clear cut winner in any of the matches tonight :lol:

I mean, Milan have had a shocking start to the season losing their two home matches; so their game against Anderlecht isn't as straight foward as it may have sound in the past.

Dortmund vs Ajax
Din Zagreb vs Porto
Malaga vs Zenit
Montpellier vs Arsenal
Olympiacos vs Schalke
Real Madrid vs City

They are the fixtures that I'll probably stay well clear results wise. It could quite literally go either way in any of those matches.

I might dabble with PSG vs Dynamo Kiev.
BetVictor have them at 3/4

Save to say that I'll probably stick to BTS and +/- 2.5 goals tonight.

I threw a little money at some matches.

I went with a bit far fetched bet.

United to win 2-0.
Barcelona
Shakhtar

Never do well with the multiples but I had a go anyway:

Arsenal, Lille, Bayern, United, Shaktar & Barca @ 7/1

Milan & Madrid draws @ 14/1

Real Madrid/Draw HT/FT @ 18/1
