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.

    • Eh? That wasn't "my quote"! If you look at your post above,it is clearly a quote by Rockets!
    • Exactly what I said, that Corbyn's group of univeristy politics far-left back benchers would have been a disaster during Covid if they had won the election. Here you go:  BBC News - Ex-union boss McCluskey took private jet flights arranged by building firm, report finds https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cp3kgg55410o The 2019 result was considered one of the worst in living memory for Labour, not only for big swing of seats away from them but because they lost a large number of the Red-wall seats- generational Labour seats. Why? Because as Alan Johnson put it so succinctly: "Corbyn couldn't lead the working class out of a paper bag"! https://youtu.be/JikhuJjM1VM?si=oHhP6rTq4hqvYyBC
    • Agreed and in the meantime its "joe public" who has to pay through higher prices. We're talking all over the shop from food to insurance and everything in between.  And to add insult to injury they "hurt " their own voters/supporters through the actions they have taken. Sadly it gets to a stage where you start thinking about leaving London and even exiting the UK for good, but where to go????? Sad times now and ahead for at least the next 4yrs, hence why Govt and Local Authorities need to cut spending on all but essential services.  An immediate saving, all managerial and executive salaries cannot exceed and frozen at £50K Do away with the Mayor of London, the GLA and all the hanging on organisations, plus do away with borough mayors and the teams that serve them. All added beauracracy that can be dispensed with and will save £££££'s
