Is he full of shit ? just can't see a team being 50/1 in a two horserace no matter how much the other side are favourites


havant were more than 50/1

infact they were 60/1 at Paddy Power to lead at anytime

New York were 5/1 last night

i no they were around 66/1 when i seen it, he has changed his story now and said he won a grand from £50 so 20/1 a few weeks ago sound more feasable but i still dont believe him fully, he says he also had £20 on Eli Manning to be MVP at 16/1

never placed a bet before - am I reading this right http://odds.bestbetting.com/specials/music/eurovision/winning-nation put a tenner on Ukraine and if they win you win 65 quid?

Sébastien Tellier has to be worth a punt at 100 to 1

what are the best online betting sites to use, how do they work etc?

and could I place a bet on Ukraine to win and a bet on France to win for example?

sorry to lower the tone of this thread Laughing out loud

yeah someone had £100k on kauto apparentley. Just fancied denman for his jumping, no doubt kauto has the pace though.

Decimal odds on Ukraine to win (outright) on padypower.com currently at 7.00. so 10 on = 70 return.

Perhaps, but then usually it never goes the way you think.

I use betfair and paddypower mostly. I have accounts at most of em though purely cos i raped all the joining offers. Word of warning, betfair is different as it's a trading exchange site, take a look on google and you'll find loads of sites that explain it all.

I take it you mean in football for example, so yeh, as an accumulator. For example ive got the below on this wknd:

portsmouth
cardiff
rushden + diamond
tottenham

quick question - if I set up a betting account now, could I place 3 different bets on the winner of Eurovision? (no homo)

for example

bet 1 - £5 on Ukraine to win
bet 2 - £5 on Portugal to win
bet 3 - £5 on France to win

or could I only bet on one winner?

of course. they'd prefer that you bet on every single entry.
