the official betting thread.

Some of the bookies are real weasels when it comes to legitimate payouts. A few years ago a prominent Irish bookmaker tried to welch on a payout to me, a cash bet. It was an acca over a few months. Part of the bet (which was horses, soccer, GAA) I had a certain PL team to win 3 PL games, all priced up and played over the duration of 3 weeks. They called their HO and checked the odds of each part of the bet, before accepting.

When it came to collecting, they tried to pay significantly less on the payout. How come? Their argument was that the PL team’s odds would have shortened for game 2 and then 3 as they won the first and then second matches. Of course, after about 3 hours of them trying it on, I got paid in full in the end. What a shower though, absolute vermin.

I make him a fair price of 1.65, so evens is daycent value

I do believe that 3.05 Exchange or 3.0 paddy is a decent price for Donkey Kai to score tonight.

Don't tell the bummers.

If paddy were offering better than 11/4 on undav scoring anytime, I'd be all over that.

A few long shots for today

Full time 0-0 @ 33/1

Then some foul match-ups with Paddy Power



And I think Gakpo is worth a look at WH who do multiple SoT and impact sub (given Diaz is the obvious choice to come on for him)

Might join you on that nil nil.

Also backed palmer first and anytime. You won't often get 10/1 and 11/4 on such a high quality player.

Word of advice too: Don't ever tell any non bettors you backed both Haaland to score twice/hat trick while also backing Wolves dbl chance.

You'll end up banging your head off the wall trying to explain it ?

Anyone know of a bet calculator where I can put in the amount I want to win and the odds, and it gives me my stake.

For instance I want to return 100 euro, the odds are 33/1, I'm betting each way, so it gives me my stake.

Should be easy enough to create one for yourself on Excel or Google sheets.

Copy what I've done there, except in cell B4 input =B1/((B3-1)+(B3-1)*B2)

B1, B2 & B3 can be manipulated by yourself. Bob's yer uncle.

Terms and odds are decimal.
