As long as I don't suddenly start rounding my stake up to the next £500 I should manage to avoid censure. I don't want the forum's self-appointed "excessive stakes" brigade piling on me for reckless staking! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harry_rag Posted July 8, 2022 Author Share Posted July 8, 2022 Bet 128 (1.5): 12 points on Denmark W +4 v Germany W at 1/20 with Lads RP think the draw is worth backing in this game. I'm not necessarily that confident in the Danes but I think they're likely to prevail with a 4 goal start. Could've taken 1/100 for +5 in my other thread but the +4 appeals more at the odds.

Double up attempt one bites the dust, evidently no-one told Germany they were no longer the force of old. Bet 129 (2.2): 11 points on France to have the highest scoring half v Japan at 1/7 with 365 Funny thing to say about long odds on but that seems huge to me. aldric 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harry_rag Posted July 9, 2022 Author Share Posted July 9, 2022 And the 2nd attempt ends as Japan win the first half 15-7 with France only winning 13-0 in the second half. Alternative options at shorter odds were France to score 20+ (just scraped home) or to win either half. At the odds on offer I’m not unhappy with the choice. Harder than it looks this malarkey, still got 5 more attempts in the bank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aldric Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 Geez, that was unlucky. I saw the score earlier and thought when I read this last night it was France to win a half. ?

harry_rag Posted July 15, 2022 Author Share Posted July 15, 2022 Bet 130 (3.1): 10 points on a goal in the first half in England v N Ireland at 1/6 Bet Way I'm gung ho on England hitting the ground running in this game and think this is a decent price about it not being goalless come the break. aldric 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harry_rag Posted July 30, 2022 Author Share Posted July 30, 2022 Bet 131 (3.2) 8.5 points on Haaland to have a shot on target at 3/5 with Uni Not full stakes (didn't want to deposit additional funds) but a real standout against prices like 1/5, 2/9 etc. Obviously a "long shot" by the standards of this thread but strikes me as value. I'd expect him to at least mark his arrival in England by at least registering 1 attempt on target. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harry_rag Posted August 1, 2022 Author Share Posted August 1, 2022 Double up achieved at the 3rd time of asking, ten points turned into 20.15. Took 4 bets which I think will be less than normal.

harry_rag Posted August 12, 2022 Author Share Posted August 12, 2022 3p short of a double up so we'll call it job done (the first one went 16p over anyway). That's 2-2 in the double up era and the bank is at 74.72, 32p up after 4 attempts. So just another 3 successful attempts will get the bank back to the original 100 points! aldric 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just hope it fares better than last week when they dangled the carrot of evens for Liverpool to win at Fulham! aldric 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
