Leppard Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 Haha. Lost so much money on that England game . Am thinking about putting 10k on Netherlands winning but after the last few games, I'm not quite sure. Surely the Dutch can't mess up, though? Edit: Just saw that I put 2.5k on a draw (7.5k on a win for England) instead of all 10k on England. Lucky escape! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lermon Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 lost an imaginary 10k on England and Germany Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razzler Posted June 19, 2010 Author Share Posted June 19, 2010 I took a hammering last night, I am nearly broke and there's some close games today in which I could go either way or the odds are rubbish. Pointless betting on Dutch win, got to go correct score on that. Denmark/'Roon could go either way, gambled on Denmark winning as Cameroon looked awful the other day Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oscillate Wildly Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 England. It's a shame Elia isn't starting, I'm tempted by 19/1 on him for FGS. Maybe worth a punt anyhow, it worked for me with Hernandez the other night. Come on Dutch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruckus Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 stuck 10k on england, if i lose that i'm gonna save the rest of my remaining cash for 2nd round Oh, that's a given, I have 10K on England too, got to go big now, I'm in the hole. Any more losses and I'm gonna start pimping myself out to support my habit its england, its not a given! i hate this game boo hoo!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razzler Posted June 19, 2010 Author Share Posted June 19, 2010 2-0 to the Dutch would go someway to making me feel better None of my 10K bets coming off now, England, Germany and Nigeria to beat Greece Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qolumbo Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 I just realised that I've done better on my betfair account (started with 100 euro, now at 112) with their competitive odds than in this game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samamatara Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 baffling odds todays games. i'm pounding them with 20000 max bets, ghana @3 and denmark @3.5 also 2000 each on Gyan @9 and Bendtner @8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leppard Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 Just won a lot (around 18k excluding the amount on the games!) in the last two games. Could've won more if Cameroon hadn't scored first (had Bendtner down as the first scorer). Forgot to bet on the Dutch game . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Razzler Posted June 20, 2010 Author Share Posted June 20, 2010 You can only put 10K on anyway, that's the maximum bid at this stage Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oscillate Wildly Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 It's up to £20k now, for the past couple of days I think. I pulled myself back from the brink with £20k on Denmark winning yesterday. Today I've got £20k on Italy and £20k on Ivory Coast to beat Brazil. What the hell, all or nothing. This time tomorrow I'll be top or back down to a pittance. Woo-hoo. Edit: Just noticed Drogba at 10/1 for FGS too. Got to be worth a £2k punt... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razzler Posted June 20, 2010 Author Share Posted June 20, 2010 Really? Bloody hell, I missed out then, could have been bolder with my Denmark prediction. Don't tell me this has been since the beginning of the 2nd round of group games? Probably saved me money by not bidding more on England then Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhino Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 I think it has been since the second games started, yeah. I'm totally cheating, by the way, having set up a second account to make up for my dismal and destructive gambling over the past few days Gone for Paraguay (£500) and Italy (£20k) today.

JayArr Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 Gah, I have absolutely no idea what to go for in the Slovakia - Paraguay game, and the odds are no help at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razzler Posted June 20, 2010 Author Share Posted June 20, 2010 A few of those games were the odds don't look great or too risky then I chuck some 500 and 1K on a few correct scores where the odds will individually return more than my total outlay, this isn't probably sensible in the real world of betting and shows why I don't really bet, I don't like risk Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oscillate Wildly Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 I've got a second account too, not in the league, where I bet modest, regular amounts against the opposite of what my gut instinct tells me. It's up at about £185,000 now, which demonstrates exactly how dreadful my instincts are. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oscillate Wildly Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 I also set up fun accounts for my wife and daughter so we could have our own mini league. My daughter predicts scores based on which flags and names she likes best and currently leads the league by about £24k at £112k overall, having guessed 9 correct scores out of 26 so far (including the two England draws). She's FIVE. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Razzler Posted June 20, 2010 Author Share Posted June 20, 2010 I should have but pretty much all my maximum bids outside the first couple of days have gone woefully wrong, 20K on Italy though and 2-0 and 3-0 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayArr Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 Woo, had some money on 2-0 Paraguay. Unfortunately I also had some smaller amounts on a lot of other outcomes which are gonna take away from my profits, but I should be going up a few places at least.
