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.

That's right, just against the dealer. Optimal strategy is to raise on Q,10 or higher iirc.

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.

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....

only 12/5. Not hugely generous, but I do fancy them to win it.

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

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!

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.

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
