Re: Official Betting Thread
That's right, just against the dealer. Optimal strategy is to raise on Q,10 or higher iirc.mushy wrote:So each hand is just you and the dealer?
Shame really I imagined loads of pissed up blokes round a table betting on 8 high.
Good source of casino strategy can be found on wizardofodds or beating bonuses websites.
Separately, joined a syndicate last week which managed to bag the tote Scoop6 on our first go at the weekend!

I'm proud of ya Dyl.
Obviously I misinterpreted Carlton's message, he meant 3-0 Madrid and 2-0 West Ham, but who cares, you've merked the **** out of that bet.

Re: Official Betting Thread
Odds on Spuds to win the FA Cup? The FA have refused to move their semi-final from the Sunday. Assuming they beat Benfica, they;ll have Barca or Milan in the CL semi on the Tuesday. I'd expect Chelsea to play a much weakened team....

£50 on a Bayern/Barca double tonight at just over 2/1
only 12/5. Not hugely generous, but I do fancy them to win it.Denbighammer wrote:Odds on Spuds to win the FA Cup? The FA have refused to move their semi-final from the Sunday.

Perhaps a better bet would be spurs/Liverpool double at just under 5/1

Re: Official Betting Thread
barca/sheff Utd/bayern treble for me. So sick, they were so so poor, Messi was awful tonight, looked like they'd taken a bung!

Valencia -1, athletico madrid -1 and sporting Lisbon -1 treble on sky bet pays 35/1
You will probably be able to get better odds elsewhere as well if you shop around

Re: Official Betting Thread
Worth having Plymouth on your accies at the weekend. Currently 11/10, but Bradford will be missing at least 3 players due to the mass brawl they had with Crawley.

Re: Official Betting Thread
Gone for a 5 team safety bet with ladbrokes
Rangers, Cardiff, west ham, Leeds and hearts
£50 returns £792.37 if one is wrong then I get minimum £99.75 back
Cardiff v millwank £50 @ 13/2 on Cardiff -2
£5 on lottery tonight and will have a scorecast or two when I get to the ground and see the starting eleven
That's my lot for gambling this weekend unless I have any winners out of this lot as I want to limit myself to about £100ish per matchday
