And anyone daft enough to risk that kind of money has just poured £90 down the drain? No he made £10 profit as Somerset were 11/10. If the score had finished between 5 & 9 he would have made £200 profit, its a good gamble and only missed out by 1 point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No he won £110 on the bet he won and lost £100 on the other so £10 profit. Edited August 15, 2018 by Rob B Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WalterPlinge 657 Posted August 15, 2018 Risking £200 to win a tenner doesn't seem very bright to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No offence you don't seem very bright, he wasn't risking £200 both bets couldn't have lost most he could have lost was £10 if Poole had won by more then 9.

WalterPlinge 657 Posted August 15, 2018 (edited) No offence but I'd have just bet on Somerset with a 10 point start. Winning £220 for a £200 stake seems a hell of a lot better than winning £10 for staking £200. I guess it's not me that isn't very bright.

Like you said not very bright, its a good gamble with a possible maximum £10 loss to possibly win £200. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anzum 250 Posted August 15, 2018 (edited) If he had staked 110 pounds on Poole to win -4 he couldn't have lost any money whatever the score and have 210 profit ie doubling his money if Poole win between 5-9. Seems a clever bet to me. Take that back a free bet to win 210 pounds on Poole to win between 5-9 Edited August 15, 2018 by Anzum 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Didn't do it myself as didn't see it but have done them in past but quite rare now as there is rarely any more then 2 point difference between bookies.

Bald Bloke 3,287 Posted August 16, 2018 (edited) Tough tonight. Gone Ellis v Tungate Batch over and ex 10... Thinking Kurtz might night match his Poole form at the Abby. Only small on both for a bit of interest, as I see the updates coming in. Edited August 16, 2018 by Bald Bloke Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
racers and royals 8,736 Posted August 17, 2018 (edited) One Polish Nice Polska league match tonight- Lodz v Pila- i know Pila haven`t got a great team but +30 is one hell of a handicap. Edited August 17, 2018 by racers and royals Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ShrewsburyWolf 22 Posted August 17, 2018 No Okoniewski for Pila today so heavily reliant on Gapinski and THJ. Gapinski o7 appeals as likely to get 6 rides at least. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
