I've about £4k on across various markets, Double chance, DNB, Win. I had it down as a 'large' bet with the opening prices compared to what I thought they should be.


It's not streamed. UEFA ticker has Loko having 1 chance at 0-0. They've had none since. Think Bayer just sitting deep and playing the scoreline now, hopefully doesn't cost them.
4K pounds? Are you a professional gambler?

Really frustrating to draw 2-2 when its 2-0 after 78 but looked lucky on the stats anyway. Really odd stats, hopefully can find some highlights. Annoyingly won't know if it was a freak performance until a couple more matchdays are up. Will need highlights to try and work out if I've overrated Lever or underrated Loko.

Yeah I gamble full time for a living. £4k isn't my normal stakes, they aren't usually as high as that. Had this down as a big bet in terms of value, didn't play out as I expected though.

I highly doubt it if Bet365 are allowing him 4k bets.

Would be shut down in a week
I've had over 200 365 accounts shut down. I've got people in Italy/Belg who can get 1000s of 365 accounts so they stake for me, can usually get a couple thousand on with 3/4 accounts for me.

If they shut an account down, do they keep what's in there or do they at least let you withdraw your winnings then close the account? Have always wondered as I like to go for high odds accas but don't put big stakes on just in case they keep the lot.

I should have checked double chance odds
Butt dnb was too good - just a shame it was a late equaliser

They will always payout to recreational players, no need to be concerned.

Thanks, yeah I understand that. I'm just asking what actually happens when they close an account down? Do they keep the balance or release the funds to the account holder first?

They have to payout if the bet was accepted fair and square and always do (aside from silly stories that make the papers but aren't related to this). You will have no problems with big odds accas either, they will love you!

Anyone betting on the rugby?

Got to fancy NZ really, even if people sometimes overstate their record in the RWC.

Matt Dawson talking England up a bit. Although still says he fancies NZ!

England 40/1 is a good offer though so might give it a go, especially seeings as this is paid in money not bets.

Edit - just seen Pasddy have 100/1 but paid in bets.

Might have to try some new accounts in my wife's married name!

99% of sites will pay you out. Any bookie that the average punter has heard of will always pay out and let you get the money. Most sites just place limitations so your max stake is £3 etc.

If you venture further afield into more obscure bookies then some of them are the Wild West and will keep your winning and deposits without giving a proper reason.

That's reassuring to know. There's been many times when I've won with 351.00 odds and sometimes bigger accas but I've only put very small stakes on because I didn't want to draw attention to myself. I'd have loved to have slapped 50 quid or something on them. I've heard so many stories of punters getting shafted but they've mainly been online casinos to be fair.

I won a fair amount with 7Red a few years back and they just locked me out. They don't operate in the UK anymore though.

You can usually shame them into paying you out if it gets desperate, had to do it with paddy power once who didn’t want to pay me out on a bet they accepted on a new account because I had a dormant account from about 5 years previous I’d honestly forgot all about.

We agreed they would pay me and I’d shut up complaining and never darken their doorstop again, think it was a 150/1 scorecast :lol:

Historically, NZ have bottled it in the World Cup and their current team isn't of the same calibre as the ones who won the last two WCs. They're off the back of a poor Championship, scraping by Argentina, losing heavily to Australia and drawing with Sth Africa.
They are the favourites but not nailed on by any means and it's fairly wide open as to who would win out 4 or 5 teams.
In saying that, they are the All Blacks and could turn it on.

40-1 or 100-1 for England is an absolute no brainer as they have a very good chance.

Ireland @ 10 and Australia @ 17 to win seem high to me but I can't see either of them actually doing it.

SA are good value @ 5 to win it.

If you're betting those kind of acca's mate, the best advice anyone can give you is, don't! As someone else said here, the bookies will love you, and unless there is something that you know that separates you from other punters out there, or you don't mind loosing 50K, you probably will never hit a 351/1 again.....

Yeah, I agree with all of that.

SA seem to have come from nowhere really over the last year or so.

Rashford 4+ shots on target at 1.73. had to use skybet as bet365 don't do the shots market for Europa League games. Sky's line is too high for total shots for me (19.5) ....

Expect rashford to blast freekicks all over.

Don't follow this, I've just remembered skybet are rank for what they count as shots compared to bet365

Strange game. 21 shots, 5 for Rash by my stats. I lost a betbuilder I did for an offer due to our ridiculous total of 13 corners!

Yeah it came in fairly easy in the end, just know I've been caught out by differences between skybet and bet365 before though. Bet365 is always my goto.

European basketball season is starting! Bring it on!

My picks for today:
Spirou Charleroi - Okapi Aalstar -> This match can be very tricky, as both teams are solid. It can be worth s small punt and it has good chances to become an arb market on live

Chalons-Reims - Elan Bearnais: the underdog has potential to win this game. Can also be good for arbs because the odds will oscillate during the quarters.

French football, le havre away to us Orleans. Le havre 2nd with 15 points and us Orleans 17th with 3 points.

Le havre to win 29/20 dnb is 8/13. Anyone know much about them or if its a good bet?

I like the Saints to win at home to Bournemouth @ 11/10. Purely based on home advantage off the back of a decent win and the fact it's a bit of derby game of sorts.

They class a shot that is blocked by a player, even if it's going in, as a shot off target, unless that player is the last man...so unless the goalkeeper saves it, it's not a shot on target...

They are cnuts about what constitutes a tackle too...

Ah so total shots works alright then, just on target I have to be careful with skybet.

No worries. Not saying they won’t win, if just be weary as they let me down last week. Should really have won that game.
Done them for dnb so got away with it tonight, from the stats in the game they were awful and lucky to get the draw.

Leeds to beat Derby @ 1.4 Derby are useless and Cocu doesn't seem to have much of a clue as a manager. Might take them at -1.5 too
