Noticed a few gambling comments through poker and football, especially now the season has started again.
So anyone made any money on the footy or sorts this weekend? Or even lost?
Or any tips?

Personally I dont fancy spurs to go well this year, maybe look at everton to do well, and Man Utd to come closer than last year with handicaped betting. But really carnt see chelsea not winning again. Back WBA for the championship aswell.
Got me a feeling on UTD in the champions league aswell this year.

- Warning gambling is only to be done by the those of weak mind,
and bets should only be made with funds you cannot really afford to lose.

You need to lose there - you cant withdraw the bonus. Withdrawals will be fun... Not a reliable bookie

i dont care about the bonus, all i wanted to do was place a bet at 1.35 odds with my own money and it wouldnt let me because of the stupid bonus. it can be withdrawn if you gamble it 8 times haha

You won't be able to remove the bonus even after you've gambled it 8 times - just your winnings.

Ask them to cancel the bonus, they might, depending if you've bet with it already or not.

Why are you betting with bet770 if you don't mind me asking? (they are an unlicenced bookie...potentially ponzi-esque)

i know that a bonus stake is never given back. yeah i wish i fucking hadn't now. they always have somewhat decent odds on various strange football matches so just easier to bet using them

No..thats not what im saying. bet770 bonuses are not like "normal" bonuses. The bonus amount stays in your account you just can't withdraw it..you can bet with it...withdraw the winnings(once you've wagered X amount) but not withdraw the bonus. Its a completely different type of bonus you'd get from ladbrokes etc

Yes, but they would also remove any winnings youve made from betting with the bonus.

Yeah had some nice big % wins off small stakes. £100 win off a £2 e/w stake on hunter mahan at the masters was a highlight. 3 trebles on last day of season. Golf is good cos its very open and normally massive odds wins, pays out 5/6 places each way too. Mahans was 65/1, had ben curtis at the players champs at 80/1 who placed. Profits should be higher but horses have been my undoing Laughing out loud learnt the importance of small profit through over 1.5 goals and studying football form rather than just lumping on best odds.

Oh, and the sooner you learn that singles are better than multiples then the sooner you'll reach profit.

whats your stake upto on the leroys bet thing? i missed out todays bet but have managed to turn a £2 free bet into £22 so i'm at £41.33, should be back or maybe above the stake now.

singles is definetly the one even if it just to slow down your betting. the daily rolling accum has really reduced my betting elsewhere.
