spain/russia over 2.5 goals is 2.20

russia to win or draw with 3 or more goals in match is 3.75

£24.00 will be staked on tonights match so where is it going?

bennythedip2 June 26th, 2008 17:38

...Overs the game....and

Russia to win tonight and the Tournament...the safe bet looks, Overs the game :cool: glk mate whatever you choose :clap:

went for little insurance
 
backed over 2.0/2.5 @ 1.87 (£24.00)

if only 2 goals are scored we get £12.00 back, if 3 or more we get returns of £44.88

GOOD LUCK US!!

Not looking like a thrilling end to end goal fest.......but hold on...The Spanish have just scored...

bennythedip2 June 26th, 2008 20:47

Overs o:D not the way i thought but ...wins a win !!

themanwiththeknow June 26th, 2008 21:16

another winning bet
 
game finished overs as many of us predicted with returns of £44.88 on the night

our kitty is now up to a decent £102.51

there is only one more game to go and obviously we wont be betting it all on the final so we can safly say.........


WE HAVE BEAT THE BOOKIES :clap: :clap: :clap:

by how much isnt resolved yet but we end euro 2008 in profit!! 8-P


now there is 3 ways we can from here and its up to us all to have our say,

we can either......

A.......bet £27.51 on the final and leave £75.00/$150 for a our poker stt (£75.00 is minimum as the bet might win and of course the fund would be higher)

B......bet £52.51 on the final and leave minimum £50.00/$100 for our poker stt

C.....have two £26.25 odds against bets on the final leaving minimum £50.00/$100 for our poker game, but with bets being odds against only need 1 winner from the 2 to get our money bk!!

these are 3 choices for how to use the kitty with one game remaining, the final isnt until sunday so we have 3 days to get our votes in for which we think is the best option and which is the best bet to take

option A is one smaller bet giving ourselves a minimum $150 poker game prizepool, but still have a decent size bet to make it a bigger prizepool

option B is a bigger bet leaving a smaller prizepool should it lose, but an even bigger one should it win

option C is pretty much the same as option B only here the stake is split into 2 bets giving ourselves a chance to get our money bk should one of the bets lose, hopefully both will win!!

MY VOTE

im going for option C, have 2 £26.25 odds against bets, we only need one to win to get our £50 quid bk and that would give us a prizepool of just over £100/$200, if both win we are looking at a prizepool of over £150/$300
should both bets lose (unlikely) then we still have a decent prizepool of £50/$100

like i said whichever option gets the most votes is the way we will go

once again congrats to all on beating the bookies :clap:

bennythedip2 June 26th, 2008 21:38

Well played .."man"
 
I think you've done a great job of this competition and well done for getting a profit throughout the tournament :clap: I think the final will be a good match and find it difficult to predict :h?:

My feeling is 1 1 ...it will be close :cool:
