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.

    • There are no road works in front of Cod fellas and yesterday when I requested a stop there the driver went straight past and never stopped untill Avondale Riss. As cars have to stop because of the lights why can busses not do this? 1 minute Bloodly mindedness.

    • Thanks all, our hope was (despite the diminishing estate) he would get on with it.  Progress is glacial, it's been two years since probate was granted, that's two cold and damp winters with no heating, and not surprisingly a pipe burst. He's blames the issues on the estate agent, who separately had a dispute with him, he had a wobbly when one of the beneficiaries spoke to the estate agent.  Separately he said it was the family's fault for letting the property get into a poor condition.  It was dated, but certainly not in poor condition. There are two five star reviews on Google, and five one star: ** WARNING** This solicitor firm has to be one of the worst I have encountered. The solicitor is prehistoric in his practices and will carry out work at his own snails pace, the fax machine he uses gets turned off at 2 pm and its near impossible to get him on the phone. STAY AWAY, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED, check the solicitors ombudsman, this firm has previous bad practice recorded.   Disgusting under no circumstances use this solicitor.For over 10 years he has not carried out the terms of a Will he has not re-invested money but has retained it.  He writes letters which are pure "Flannel" excuses for doing nothing.  You have been warned   shocking experience, delayed the whole process, told other side solicitors to not contact him as he feels pressured etc. never use.   Not fit for 21st century. No website, no email address, no electronic transfer. Very slow, very little communication.   Was not a pleasant experience dealing with this firm    
    • If you mean the one outside the church going towards Peckham, it still had the closed sign on it this morning, but as there are no road works there, I'm sure some of the drivers will stop there on request.  The stop outside the chippy coming from Peckham is closed as there are road works in front of it.  The 4 way traffic lights are in operation.., causing a lot of congestion.
