YALDI! Wish I'd gone straight win tho

Had a Chelsea/Man City double as well, was going to involve barca or real but glad I didnt.

Put a few quid on Pittsburgh at evens at half time, just to add a bit of interest to the game if nothing else.

The 5.05 from Dundalk was won quite clearly by Redera but one of the jockeys was unseated as they came out of the stalls... So instead of me being 40 quid the richer my statement says 'Race voided due to stricken jockey' despite this happening 10 furlongs before the finish!

Rory McIlroy to beat Stewart Cink and Lee Westwood to beat Steve Stricker is a 2/1 double

[Colonel Mustard]

Drogba FGS @ 10/3 (shocking odds - in a Coral shop)

Workforce - 6/1.

Both of them evened my day out.

Football

Not bothered with the Johnstone's Paint trophy games this week!

Horses

Had ONE go on the horses since Sunday. Last night at Kempton in the 8:00 called 'Golden Tempest' - came nowhere. Good job for my fellow gamblers I never posted it on here for you's to lose money on!

X-Factor ... (!)

bet365 are offering 7/2 for my fellow Scouser to win it outright. I've had a go. Watched it (properly) for the first time this series on Saturday just gone and without being bias I think it'll be a travesty if she doesn't win!

over 2.5 goals evens with bf 5/6 with most firms in the Belgium game looks to be a good bet to me

not bet anything else as of yet - might wait and see how it goes when the games are IP

scotland to beat both czech rep and spain

actually can someone go on mcbookie and find the odds on both and as a double?

i remember ross county to beat celtic was 24/1 on there so would imagine us to beat spain should be higher!

[markeee]

mcbookie..the odds actually decent? usually inds offer crap prices imo

annoyingly I was waiting till HT to punt Germany, 0-0 42' boom germany score..there goes my Inplay plan

im on u2.5 goals in a few of the games

and under 6.5 in the hockey on atm

Debating backing Greece ,

Medici Perl

[markeee]

With Hardwick's own Davey Allan on board no less...

[Cardboard Box City]

is that a good thing?

[markeee]

He's not a bad jockey is Davey, although if he were to get confused one day he might revert to type and steal the horse.

[Cardboard Box City]

lol

what you think of Medici? I only backed it on my ac for my mate he was only allowed 7quid e/w

[Colonel Mustard]

GeeGees

4:30 York - Shallow Bay. Good draw and Hanagan on board. Swinburn is VERY confident. I've had some of the 4/1 on offer for it to win.

Footy

£20 double on Peterborough & Shrewsbury gets me £95.

Good luck all.

[markeee]

MEDICI placed, and we got BOG so despite having to take some 8s after PP cut the price we got the 12/1 for e/w

il have a look at shallow bay in a sec, only just got up

[Colonel Mustard]

Terrible day.

Back to the drawing board.

Some decent value in the NFL tonight. Bears, Jaguars, Rams and Eagles all better than evens.

[Cardboard Box City]

I was telling everyone that Redford wouldn't win yesterday and that 10/1 (on the morning) was a good each way price for Bewitched instead... Then didn't back the c**t myself.

Instead I had the Fonz at 12/1 (went off 6's) and Hawkeyethenoo. Both came nowhere.

I have to say my heart goes out to the bloke who didn't win the Scoop6 bonus fund yesterday of about 950,000, the plucky punter had only staked 10,000 the week before to get the win fund. A riches to riches story sadly out the window.
