The brazil team look like they could do damage and the GB team have only been together a few weeks
This could get embarrassing for GB tonight

South Africa 5/2 to win the first test is massive considering they've only got to take 6 wickets tomorrow and England are notorious for collapses.

5.05 at Cartmel tomorrow.

Riskier - 2/1. Very consistent horse running against some very exposed looking types. Pissed home last time and is almost a stone better off than every other horse in the race.

You needed an exchange account there Cheggers, (even if the original bet was with a bookmaker)

He got as low as 1.02 on the back nine. You could have traded out to a profit of over £70 on any winner.

Always handy to open an exchange account even if it lays dormant most of the time. If you don't know how to use them someone from here would help you with the lay off bet.

It just guards against exactly the scenario which unfolded yesterday.

Still. thats pretty bad luck there...

Well, I chose 14 golfers.


13 of them finished on +3 or over

Only 1 had a respectable score. Jimenez, on the account of a -3 final round.

13 out of 14 selections, finishing no higher than +3?

F*cking hell, I'm so sh*t.

Can someone please explain what handicap betting is on football? Do I assume it means that (for example) if you bet -1 handicap Brazil on the Team GB game, you would have won that bet, because if you take 1 goal off Brazil, they still win 1-0?

Yeah I know mate,

Just disappointing you made such a good initial bet but didn't collect anything because the very last 5% of his tournament went pear shaped.
