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.

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
