  1. Re: SunDog's First Million Ok, those draws have clawed us back some money, it's still been a bit of a disaster overall for me, though. Start Bank: 100pts Current Bank: 220.68pts Profit/Loss: +120.68pts I am so tempted to go for a draw again tonight but Turkey's severe problems with fielding a team (coupled with the rumour that their 3rd choice goalkeeper could be employed as a striker) makes that a bridge too far even for me. However, an interesting statistic is that all their matches in this competition have seen them go in at half time at 0-0 or 1-0 down. Also, 3 of the 4 quarter finals were 0-0 at the break. Therefore that's the road we'll go down tonight. Bet: 2pts Germany lead 1-0 at HT @11/5 2pts 0-0 HT @7/4 However, if they're 1 goal down with a couple of minutes to go, I'll be back on here throwing money at them. :lol

  2. Re: SunDog's First Million That match was a cracker. Dublin has a lot of Russians but the pub I was in last night was full of people in orange t-shirts. When Holland equalised I cheered louder than anyone else in the place. I ended up chatting to a dutch girl who was quite taken with me until Russia went ahead in extra time... this time I was the only one cheering in the pub. I couldn't help it, they'd won me over. They're my new favourite team. ...I came home alone last night. I wonder why? Start Bank: 100pts Current Bank: 216.48pts Profit/Loss: +116.48pts More of the same tonight please. Bet: 2pts Spain/Italy draw @ 21/10 Scabby odds, huh?

  3. Re: SunDog's First Million The last minute of that match was the craziest 60 seconds I've ever seen in a football match. You gotta like Turkey after that. Start Bank: 100 pts Current Bank: 210.48pts Profit/Loss: 110.48pts More of the same tonight please. Bet: 2pts Holland/Russia draw @3/1

  4. Re: SunDog's First Million You can talk about what a great Euro Championships it's been, how there's been great games, how there's been some brilliant free flowing attacking football. But for me it's been a bloody nightmare. :lol In my defence, I never claimed to be an expert on international football, but even I didn't think I was that bad. Start Bank: 100pts Current Bank: 207.88pts Profit/Loss: +107.88pts Anyway, onwards and upwards. Historically, there have been loads of draws in the knockout stages of these competitions. ...of course, historically, the hosts always get through to the ko stages. Bet: 2pts Portugal/Germany Draw @ 2/1

  5. Re: SunDog's First Million Ah - now I know why Sweden were favourites... Greece are crap. :lol Start Bank: 100pts Current Bank: 215.88pts Profit/Loss: +115.88pts Bet: 4pts Czech Republic/Portugal under 2.5 goals @ 1/2

  6. Re: SunDog's First Million Much as I dislike Italy, I love Spain... especially since my bet on David Villa is looking good. Start Bank: 100pts Current Bank: 216.08pts Profit/Loss: +116.08pts Sweden are favourites to beat Greece? Bet: 4pts Greece/Sweden under 2.5 goals @ 9/20 2pts Greece DNB @ 19/20

  7. Re: SunDog's First Million I never liked Italy... and I dislike them even more now. They weren't even good enough to keep out the 3rd goal and let me at least get something back on my under 2.5 goals bet. However, at least we should be saying goodbye to them next week and not a minute too soon. Start Bank: 100pts Current Bank: 214.08pts Profit/Loss: +114.08pts Gonna have to take it easy now before my losses spiral. Bet: 3pts Spain bt Russia @ 4/6

  8. Re: SunDog's First Million Cheers, Spooner - might need a bit of luck the way these bets are going. Start Bank: 100pts Current Bank: 225.08pts Profit/Loss: +125.08pts I've already stated I don't fancy the Dutch this year. However, having really rode my luck with that Croatia bet last night I won't be able to complain if Holland batter Italy tonight. Bet: 6pts Italy + 1 goal by Holland @ 1/3 5pts Italy/Holland under 2.5 goals @ 9/20

  9. Re: SunDog's First Million Got that spectacularly wrong, didn't I? Start Bank: 100pts Current Bank: 221.08pts Profit/Loss: +121.08pts My only aim now is tto finish the Euros on the same money I started them. Bet: 6pts Croatia bt Austria @5/6 1pt Croatia/Poland +1, +1.5 @ 72/100 (Double)

  10. Re: SunDog's First Million Ok, that horse is still going round, but bizarrely enough, a horse at 33/1 won that race... wonder how often that happens? Start Bank: 100pts Current Bank: 241.08pts Profit/Loss: +141.08pts Thank god the footie's back on. Looking at the Euros, I fancy Switzerland to do well - host nations always do (apart from Austria, of course, who are dire beyond words). I will be very surprised if they don't at least get to the quarter finals and the even money about them doing so has to be taken. In Group C any of the 4 could go through but, for me, Holland look very poor, not a patch on the teams they have sent to finals in the past. I also like the odds on David Villa to be Spain's top scorer. We all know how good Torres is - bookies included - but he doesn't bang them in for Spain like he does for Liverpool. Villa, on the other hand does. Bet: 10pts Switzerland qualify from Group A @ 1/1 2pts Holland eliminated at group stage @10/11 1pt David Villa top Spain goalscorer @ 5/2 6pts Switzerland +1 goal by Czech Republic @ 2/5 1pt Switzerland +1 goal/ Portugal - Turkey: 2-3 goals @ 10/11 (Double)

  11. Re: SunDog's First Million Start Bank: 100pts Current Bank: 242.08pts Profit/Loss: +142.08pts Got a tip on the nags but it's 28/1 which is about the equivalent of Scunthorpe beating Chelsea, so we'll just use it to get my losses out of the way before Euro 2008. :lol .5pt e/w Tiffany Diamond - Epsom 4.05, 7th June @ 28/1

  12. Re: SunDog's First Million Start Bank: 100 pts Current Bank: 236.58 pts Profit/Loss: +136.58 pts This CL final is unlikely to be a goalfest. However, both teams are more than capable of putting the ball in the net. Bet: 5 pts Both teams to score @11/10

  13. Re: SunDog's First Million Start Bank: 100pts Current Bank: 223.04pts Profit/Loss: +123.04pts I'd just like to take the opportunity to bid a fond farewell to Derby. You made me a lot of money earlier in the season before the oods on you got ridiculous. Hope to see you back the season after next... together we could make some money. Bet: 3pts Liverpool + 1 goal @ 4/9 3pts Arsenal DNB @ 4/11 3pts Man U 1 1 goal @ 5/6 1.5pts Liverpool + 1 goal/Arsenal DNB (Double) 1.5pts Liverpool + 1 goal/Man U - 1 goal (Double) 1.5pts Arsenal DNB/Man U -1 goal (Double) 1.5pts Liverpool + 1 goal/Arsenal DNB/Man U -1 goal (Treble) 1.5pts Liverpool + 1 goal/Arsenal DNB/Man U @1/4/Portsmouth +1 goal @8/15

  14. Re: SunDog's First Million Can't believe I slept out the Arsenal/Everton game... I'm gonna have to start staying in at ther weekends. Start Bank: 100pts Current Bank: 217.32pts Profit/Loss: 117.32pts Bank doubled and a little more sustainably than last time. Bet: 10pts Liverpool bt Man City @ 4/7

  15. Re: SunDog's First Million Can't believe I slept out that Man U/West Ham game.

  16. Re: SunDog's First Million Well, Man U's progression to the CL final made us a few quid. Start Bank: 100 pts Current Bank: 181.19 pts Profit/Loss: +81.19 pts Now watch out, big spender alert... Bet: .5 pts Liverpool bt Chelsea in extra time @ 22/1 .5 pts Liverpool win on penalties @ 20/1

  17. Re: SunDog's First Million Just checked - no ante posts... I didn't realise Sunderland actually won. What a bad team Boro are, huh? However, that's what made us a few quid so I guess I can forgive Man City's slip up.

  18. Re: SunDog's First Million I was going to start ranting about Man City losing at home to the lost cause that is Fulham, but in fairness, if you back a team with nothing to play for against a team with everything to play for you get what you deserve. My balance has gone up - one of my ante posts must have come in, which kinda knackers the whole bank thing but I guess at this stage I'll just continue and do it properly next season. Start Bank: 100 pts Current Bank: 163.69 pts Profit/Loss: +63.69 pts Bet: 10 pts Celtic +1 goal bt Rangers @ 1/5
