featured_spectre Posted August 25, 2011 Posted August 25, 2011 Righty, as you know I am quite good with my bets, I have placed the following bet at 3950/1 (yes you read that right) I put the bet down that the following teams will go through Barcelona, Milan, Chelsea, Arsenal, Shaktar Donetsk, FC Porto, CSKA Moscow, Manchester City, Bayern Munich, Lille, Manchester United, Benfica, Real Madrid, Olympic Lyonaisse, Valencia, Marsaille. My local William Hill gave me those odds, they will vary on where you go too, however that was the best odds available. Reason it is so high is because of the following teams - Shaktar Donetsk, FC Porto, Lille, Olympic Lyonaisse and Marsaille. I will be ecstatic if I win that! Anyone gonna place a bet as well?
yugo Posted August 25, 2011 Posted August 25, 2011 Looks good. So what kinda stake would you put on that? £1?
featured_spectre Posted August 25, 2011 Author Posted August 25, 2011 I put a tenner down. Had to get confirmation from the manager as if I win that's £39500 in my pocket. Lol
yugo Posted August 25, 2011 Posted August 25, 2011 Nice, knowing your history its a cert! lol Must look at some prices online now
featured_spectre Posted August 25, 2011 Author Posted August 25, 2011 look at some of my sporting bets I have predicted on here in the past (I have around an 80% accuracy). Usually my forte is Rugby, however I dip into football. Never do races as it is too unpredictable.
featured_spectre Posted August 25, 2011 Author Posted August 25, 2011 Also, because of the nature that they would all be going through at roughly the same time, it is not an accumulator, despite the fact that the manager wanted to put it as such...I explained it would not work like that due to the fact that teams can go through at any point after the 4th game.
yugo Posted August 25, 2011 Posted August 25, 2011 I normally bet in play on football, especially when the favs have gone behind. Man U come from behind quite a lot. Yeah I recall one of your world cup bets that made you a fortune! I'm not with you on the accumulator thing?
featured_spectre Posted August 25, 2011 Author Posted August 25, 2011 basically the manager wanted it to be an accumulator so that if one team goes through, then the next in concurrent order etc, and if one goes out all is lost. However I explained that as it is not possible to be an accumulator due to the nature of the group stages, it should be a static bet, if one team doesnt go through at any point then yes, the best is lost. if all teams go through the bet is won. He was happy with that, but had to calculate the odds completely and it came out as such, I took it
yugo Posted August 25, 2011 Posted August 25, 2011 Ah ok, get you now I think. Not surprised, seems like you have a good chance. Good luck anyway. Any more tips send they my way!
featured_spectre Posted August 25, 2011 Author Posted August 25, 2011 All tips I am happy to post up!
Millgate Posted August 25, 2011 Posted August 25, 2011 I'm putting that on first thing in the morning! I believe! 1
featured_spectre Posted August 25, 2011 Author Posted August 25, 2011 @millgate I will be posting up match predictions very soon for each group (not scores, but most likely first goal scorers and win/loss for which side) 1
