Well I think I can guarantee a profit - ?446 on Arsenal or ?100 win on MU and Chelsea but it means another ?568 on MU and ?511 on Chelsea!!!!


Arsenal win:


Team bet odds Profit/(Loss) Win ("W")/Loss

Arsenal 250 6.5 1625 w

chelsea 50 2 -50

Liverpool 50 -50

MU 568 1.7 -568

chelsea 511 1.7 -511



Bet so far 350

Additional Risk 1079

Result 446






Chelsea:

Team bet odds Profit/(Loss) Win ("W")/Loss

Arsenal 250 6.5 -250

chelsea 50 2 100 w

Liverpool 50 -50

MU 568 1.7 -568

chelsea 511 1.7 868.7 w



Bet so far 350

Additional Risk 1079

Result 100.7



ManUnited:

Team bet odds Profit/(Loss) Win ("W")/Loss

Arsenal 250 6.5 -250

chelsea 50 2 -50

Liverpool 50 -50

MU 568 1.7 965.6 w

chelsea 511 1.7 -511



Bet so far 350

Additional Risk 1079

Result 104.6


So another > ?1k bet will guarantee me a profit overall - but I think I'll pass on that thanks and check it out again after a few Arsenal wins (hopefully).

I don't fancy putting down ?1k even if it guarantees me a win overall.

Actually my Arsenal odds are better than I thought - so I can guarantee an approx ?300 profit on all teams as follows:


(Only problem is that I need to bet another ?1,650 - might have to raid the housekeeping)


Team bet odds Profit/(Loss) Win ("W")/Loss

Arsenal 250 8.22 -250

chelsea 50 2 -50

Liverpool 50 -50

MU 850 1.7 1445 w

chelsea 800 1.7 -800



Bet so far 350

Additional Risk 1650

Result 295

Thought it was an interesting exercise - of course I'm not going to be parting with that sort of money, so hope Arsenal can go on a good run.

I think he has left the forum Narnia - which is good as I might have owed him money.


Anyway


I have invested ?19 in a 1 month full membership of Racing Post website - to give me the inside track for the festival !!!


The one they seem to be backing is Quantitativeeasing for the Coral Cup on St Patricks Day. I have backed it at 8s.

Interesting as I've never been in this thread before.


Mrs ruffers has, on occasion, had to suffer me going through the entire range of sports available on a full Sky package but has repeatedly heard me say that racing, almost uniquely amongst sports, hold no interest for me, and I comment that without the betting it just wouldn't exist which in some ways damns it as a genuinely uninteresting sport. Now I'm not sure why I have such apathy, if there was nothing else on I'd watch 3 Day eventing or at a real (ie telly broke) push showjumping as they have a however tiny interest to me as sport.

So back to the question - without the betting would anyone else watch it?


And the reason I came here. Khan to knock out Malignaggi. I've been in a bookies about three times in my life but think this is worth a go - how do I maximise my winnings on this?

Fair enough. Though I come from the other angle - I'm slightly potty about horses so that's what drives my interest. I find the whole trainer/jockey stuff fascinating too (but that could be as a result of reading too much Dick Francis/John Francome/Jenny Pitman ouvre.)


Plus it's quite a lark to observe a horse in the paddock and pick it on looks/conformation alone rather than looking at form - that method has got most of my wins.

There are many many people in horse racing who never bet. Owners and trainers mostly. They just love to race horses.


For the rest of us the betting might have given us out initial interest but who can deny that todays Kauto v Denman is a massive sporting occaision. I'd say it is of interest to a lot of people who do not normally follow racing and will be the headline sports new tonight.

Was sitting on a ?320 profit on France Slam so have backed the "no slam" at 5.7 so am now guaranteed a ?260 profit either way.


Seemed a small price to play for peace of mind and the right thing to do to compensate for Cheltenham losses. Could not leave it to chance. :-$ ashamed of hedging.


6.2/5.2 seems very good odds on the France Slam with hindsight.

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
