What's your biggest bet?

[Jam The Man]

According to Ladbrokes I was the only punter in the country to bet on England 4-1 Holland in Euro 96... 100/1

Shame I only put a quid on it!

I usually bet £3 per bet whatever it is but iv'e just pushed the boat out on Argentina beating Bolivia , it's half time and bolivia are 1-0 up so took the 7s on the argies for a massive £4

Went for this too. Argie *******s.

I nearly laid Bolivia (only for a tenner though) on the exchanges but I'm glad I didn't. If you look at the stats with and without Messi, they are massively reliant on him. Argentina are toilet without him and could easily miss out on qualifying seeing as suspended for 3 more games!

Best two £1.00 bets I've had in a good while

What happens with those carded bets if the player doesn't come off the bench? are they losers or settled at lower odds if the rest of the bet wins?

Won a couple of grand in a casino over Christmas, for whatever reason I noticed one particular dealer kept hitting 13 Neighbours every other spin. No one else on the table noticed well apart from the pit boss who cottened on and hastily replaced the dealer good win though.

Oh dear. And that is exactly why accas are like printing money for the bookies.

Why? Acca is only an accumulation of single bets.

Is that all! Damn machines have ruined my life - just last week, covering 27 numbers out of 37 i had 12 straight misses followed by one winner followed by 15 more wipeouts before going skint - 1 winning spin out of 28 ...Impossible odds to calculate that ever happening in real casino ,certainly >1 million to one. That run of 28 spins included 6 coming in 3 times on the trot and then twice more a few spins later making 5 out of 9 same number..

I like roulette at the casino but would never play against a computer that aren't even random. I've watched people play them and it 100% glitches over the bet numbers and lands next door.

Any reputable bookmaker (Most UK high street ones) use a random number algorithm that is regulated. I think in a casino you don't notice it "glitch" over the bet numbers and land next door as you are not looking out for it in teh same context!
I play poker online and offline quite regular and had exactly the same crazy odds bad beats happen in live games as I have had online. Not sticking up for high street bookies in any shape or form. They are all scumbags who don't care if you do you whole familys weekly budget in 30 mins on a FOBT, but they aren't rigged IMHO (In the UK anyway) - The house will always win just by the formulas they use, but rigging the system in that way isn't one of them.

+1 to this its not worth their while rigging an RNG when they know that over time they will always win anyway! Likewise with reputable poker sites such as Stars!

If the player doesn't play etc you get your stake back

Most I've ever placed/risked is this season, on Huddersfield points total, Brighton not going up, Palace staying up.

Yea not saying it's a lot. It's just the most i have lost. Those machines are rigged. I won't go near them. I hope you have stopped playing them. I see so many people lose on them

I don't disbelieve you, but assuming you mean you usually make about 2.5k profit per weekend for a £25 stake, how do you manage that on a consistent basis, and do you do perms? My outlay is normally a fair bit higher than that at the weekend but I never achieve that sort of profit.

I do about 5 accumulators for £5. I have the 3 team i fancy most in all the lines and vary my dodgy ones. I also like the betting the team to win and both teams to score. Get big odds there for a 5 time acca.

Not 2.5 a weekend btw... 2.5k over a footy season. I only bet small but enjoy it. Ending up on the season always a bonus
