At 45 mins in my 8 team BTTS bet (£5 = £418) 14 of my teams have scored !!! Just need 1 goal each from Accrington & Newport.

That's terrible luck fella

[Arnold Layne]

Fair few 'coupon busters' out there today I reckon. Could make our path to the final easier though

Indeed,wonder if anyone had Brad,Boro & Leics? Mighty odds on that treble.

[westhamdave1]

I've not "tipped" or "selected" a horse on here for a while now so consider myself NOT GUILTY.

Watch this space .....

So,to sum up my topsy turvy day ....

My first tip for ages,Many Clouds,did the business and landed a fair wager for me.

Then the football ... Having 14 out of 16 teams score in the first half (normally between 6 & 9 at best) was it really too much to hope Accrington & Newport could just get one goal each ? Course it was.Thanks Accrington.P1ss off Newport County !!!

Ending the day with a few quid on the mighty Eibar @ 15/4 to turn over Moyes' Real Sociedad.

Skybet have posted a few bits and pieces on their Twitter.

Someone did a £100 win double on Boro and Bradford returning ~£29,000.

Someone else won £36,000 from a £2 six team accumulator that included Bradford and Boro.

Then there was this guy (he cashed out some time in the first half for about £15,000), would have been sick if he didn't cash out and Bolton went on to win though.

[Arnold Layne]

Wow

Do not hesitate.
Do not talk yourself out of it.
In the words of Nike ..... Just Do It !!!

1.50 Cheltenham - MANY CLOUDS



Disclaimer : Don't blame me if it doesn't win !!!

Thanks Dave, as you seemed fairly confident, I thought why not. Great call.

[r99c]

This could have been the sickest one of the lot (£10 stake to win just shy of £1 million) - worth reading the comments below too.

Anyone dabble on Paddy Power's FA Cup treble today?

Backed ourselves, Villa and Arsenal to win, 18/1 enhanced odds. Tenner on. £190 back.

Bang on.

However, as a man who doesn't bet on a regular basis, I have a query...

Obviously, the bet came in, and I've been paid my winnings for the bet without the enhanced odds. £71.01. Does this mean I did not put the bet on correctly? Or do you have to wait a certain amount of time before being paid the rest?

[Cambs Iron]

Sure it wasn't an open a new account offer?

[Arch Dandy]

Sure it wasn't an open a new account offer?

Yep, the 18/1 was a new account offer.

Paddy Power add enhanced odds and acca bonuses separately.

I guess it's because they think you're more inclined to spend it again with them when it's a lesser amount.

[davids cross]

If you opened a PP account for this offer you may well get your "extra" money upto 48 hours after the event..............it's stated in the T/Cs of the offer that they initially settle the bet but will add the "extra" upto 48 hours later.

However, if you already had a PP account you won't get the "enhanced" money.

Paddy power on talksport on saturday evening. At halftime in the chealsea game they took a bet of £45,000 to win £450. Why, just why?

[davids cross]

By the way...

Many congratulations on Many Clouds.

Hugely impressive I thought. A straight forward horse. Good jumper, goes on any ground, won at Chelters.

10s for the Gold Cup looks luvly jubbly ...E/W..........I liked the second in Saturdays race as an outsider too, Smad Place 25s with Hills.


Silviniaco Conti would gag up around a "Kempton" Gold Cup..............but it's Cheltenham.

[davids cross]

Another 3 months wasted....

[westhamdave1]

Not a tip (unlike Saturday ),just a hunch ....

2.50 Ludlow - The Musical Guy

[Billydinho]

Not sure if I'm missing something but the John Ferguson horse in the first at Ludlow, due off in about 10 minutes or so, won a decent maiden race at Sandown a few weeks back on ridiculously heavy ground - something he wasn't expected to run well on (drifted from evens to 3/1 on the day).

Today's ground is soft so I'd say no problem. He's a bit short at 11/8 so I'm tempted by the forecast with AP McCoy's horse who's out of a four time Gold Cup winner.

[Billydinho]

So jumping the last this forecast looked inevitable when a 16/1 shot comes from nowhere to win.

[screech]

How's this for a bet after 3 mins
