Help me gamble £10
 
Ok guys, we have this thing at the work where we each pay £1 a week a take a turn to gamble the collected £1s each week. I've got £10 to blow but I really don't know how. I've been doing pretty poor so far so I'd appreciate some tips. I'd like to place a bet(s) that has at least a reasonable chance of coming in but also a reasonable chance of a decent return for our work 'pot'

That rules out 100-1 shots but also means that betting £10 on a horse at 5/4 is pretty pointless. Any suggestions :) Also, since I'm lazy I'd like a bet that I can place online at Willyhill. Maybe a cheeky football accumulator or something?

imlach 13 October 2004 08:41 PM

Hmm......£10 into www.binarybet.com would give you lots of 10-1 type chances of either financial/sporting/entertainment events. At least it's interesting for everyone to follow once the bet is placed.

ie, like the Scotland game tonight.....

imlach 13 October 2004 08:42 PM

Oh, and hey, they give you £25 cash after you've laid your first bet....you'd be 250% up before you start :D

imlach 13 October 2004 08:47 PM

Actually, you have to gamble £25 to get your free £25, but mention this to the guys at work, and suggest 2.5 weeks worth of money goes in for a no-loss bet.....

Can't say fairer than that.

LG John 13 October 2004 08:56 PM

That sounds pretty reasonable. Plenty to gain, nothing to lose :D I might suggest it :)

bttt

Brun 14 October 2004 05:57 PM

Give me the £10 and i might give you £30 back!!!!!! 50/50 chance for you :norty::D

CooperS 14 October 2004 06:49 PM

A lot of online bookmakers give you £10 free bet when you make your first £10 bet with them.

NotoriousREV 14 October 2004 07:46 PM

I bet £10 you lose :norty:

That's class. :)

bet it on Kelly holmes to win sports personality of the year.

pslewis 14 October 2004 11:13 PM

£10 on Arsenal to score 4

£10 on BORO to win 3-0

£10 on Newcastle to lose, again!

Should be a safe bet on any of those!

Saxo Boy,

Give me an valid email address, I will then refer you to betfair. We will both get £15 once you have had a few bets. And I will get you a few decent wins.

£50,000 profit for me so far this year and I started with £5000 in Jan.

Now what could I do with your tenner. LOL!!!!!

Fast_Blue_Scooby 14 October 2004 11:31 PM

First tip:

Royal Millenium: Newmarket 14:50 Friday.

See if you can get 9/2 at the bookies first thing in the morning.

Then you can either let the bet run or trade the bet before or even during the race on the exchanges.

ScoobyDriverWannabe 14 October 2004 11:33 PM

Get u self into bookies and have a go on the Roulette machines.

£50,000! :eek2: Do you trade the gee gees?

£10 on Kelly Holmes on betfair wins you a massive 80p minus commision plus your £10 stake back and you have to wait until december I think it is!

LG John 15 October 2004 01:10 AM

lol, maybe not then!!

Fast_Blue_Scooby 15 October 2004 08:50 AM

[QUOTE=Scooby owner one day]£50,000! :eek2: Do you trade the gee gees?

Yes, sure do.

Hard work though, very hard work.

But if you can get on a higher odds than sp most of the times and allowing the option of trading out if you want to, then profits are assured. 20% profit on turnover so far. I will let you work out the turnover required to make this sort of money!!!

OK if I have the time I may pop into the local bookies and have a couple of notes on it.
However if it loses I will haunt your posts forever :eek::D

Fast_Blue_Scooby 15 October 2004 10:40 AM

Best price was 4/1 at the bookies.
They have now all cut it to 3/1.

I am in a good position to trade the bet if I want as the exchanges are now as low as 10/3.

£500 on at 4/1, lay off at 10/3.

If the horse loses I get my money back.
If it wins, I make £300 profit. Or I can guarantee £70 win or lose if I lay a little more than my stake.

A decision I will make nearer the time.

Easy peasy.

Fast_Blue_Scooby 15 October 2004 02:54 PM

Newmarket 14:50 1st Royal Millenium, 2nd Mossdale, 3rd Quito

Hope you were all on.

LG John 15 October 2004 03:44 PM

Nice one fast blue scooby :) Guess who I had my £10 bucks on the nose :D That'll keep them happy at work :)

Who are what are you playing off against each other to get favourable odds such that you have the loss covered but and edge on a win?

Both the bookies and betfair had this horse at 4/1 this morning, betfair slightly higher. SP was 7/2 so there was a nice margin to cover most of my stake by laying on betfair later in the morning.

A nice win indeed!!!

TelBoy 15 October 2004 04:41 PM

Put it on being a white Christmas.

Seriously. I have a substantial bet on this myself....

andrewdelvard 15 October 2004 05:24 PM

Yessss! £20 to win £90 return. Thanks very much. :)

Fast_Blue_Scooby 15 October 2004 05:55 PM

If you want any more tips where the horse has a good chance of winning and will be gambled on let me know........
