Well have you ever found a deal that screams "buy me", "yes yes yes"


Mine was 2005 ashes tickets. My Business partner had been looking out for Ashes tickets, around January time. The only ones he found were being sold by Surrey CC for the last day at the oval, the end of the series, for a tenner each. We mulled and thought it through, if it was all over we would be refunded our money. If it was a "dead rubber", we could round up various nephews, God children and take them to see Shane Warne, Gilchrist, Mcgrath, et al, a great day out. OR we would get to see the deciding days play. Well we know what happened and I got Very,very,very drunk (and offered ?500.00 each for my 6 tickets).


What was yours?



P.S In the haze I seem to remember the Hammers beat Villa 4-0 that evening- happy dayz

YES!

A proper, no-brainer punt, which sounded so 'too good to be true' that I didn't do it.


It started with a tip-off from my brother: a free $1000-dollar bet from 'Mansion' for the Pittsburgh Steelers to beat the Miami Dolphins in the 2006 'Bowl opener. If the Steelers win, you win $1000. If they lose: full refund of your stake. In addition, the Steelers were the favourites by a long chalk. Can't get any more no-brainer than that.


The Steelers duly won.


At least I know I'm not a betting man now.

I remember back in about 1994 someone on the radio talking about their winner predictions for about 7 "Oscar" categories. They then closed it by saying "Go and put an accumulator bet on these and you'll thank me for it next week." The payback being something like ?5000 for a ?1 bet.


Now, other than a raffle ticket I never gamble, but on that day I thought, "why not" so duly trotted off, looking for a bookies. Could I as hell find one to take the bet on? Not one would, from the big ones to the local ones.


The next week he was ecstatic, was not however....I still have the tenner burning a hole in my pocket, so if anyone has a 5000/1 dead cert tip they'd like to pass on....

Well Done!..I thought that by drip feeding on a monthly basis I wouldn't expose myself too much to any market volatility...will keep an eye on the May-Sept scenario though, thanks for the tip...(tu)

Betfair had a totally free ?5 bet on the National. ?35 if either of the two favourites won - ?10 on the rest of the field. Won ?10 and put that on Man U to beat Middlesboro last week - they had that at around 2-1 - all no brainers - will see how far I can make the free bet go


Big interview with Zola tomorrow on Football Focus

    • This is a remarkable interpretation of history. Wikipedia (with more footnotes and citations than you could shake a shitty stick at sez: The austerity programme was initiated in 2010 by the Conservative and Liberal Democrat coalition government. In his June 2010 budget speech, Osborne identified two goals. The first was that the structural current budget deficit would be eliminated to "achieve [a] cyclically-adjusted current balance by the end of the rolling, five-year forecast period". The second was that national debt as a percentage of GDP would fall. The government intended to achieve both of its goals through substantial reductions in public expenditure.[21] This was to be achieved by a combination of public spending cuts and tax increases amounting to £110 billion.[26] Between 2010 and 2013, the Coalition government said that it had reduced public spending by £14.3 billion compared with 2009–10.[27] Growth remained low, while unemployment rose. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Kingdom_government_austerity_programme From memory, last time around they were against the LTNs and competing with the Tories to pick up backlash votes - both failed. They had no counterproposals or ideas about how to manage congestion or pollution. This time around they're simply silent on the matter: https://www.southwark-libdems.org.uk/your-local-lib-dem-team/goosegreen Also, as we have seen from Mr Barber's comments on the new development on the old Jewsons yard, "leading campaigns to protect the character of East Dulwich and Goose Green" is code for "blocking new housing".
    • @Insuflo NO, please no, please don't encourage him to post more often! 😒
    • Revealing of what, exactly? I resurrected this thread, after a year, to highlight the foolishness of the OP’s op. And how posturing would be sagacity is quickly undermined by events, dear boy, events. The thread is about Mandelson. I knew he was a wrong ‘un all along, we all did; the Epstein shit just proves it. In reality, Kinnock, Blair, Brown, Starmer et all knew as well but accepted it, because they found him useful. As did a large proportion of the 2024 intake of Labour MPs who were personally vetted and approved by Mandelson.
