Has anyone done a football bet for gyp? Have done the horse one but not football. Any tips on what I need to do greatly appreciated!

You need to bet on a single outcome, e.g. United to win. I usually bet on a team to win or sometimes instead on 1 player to be the first scorer but you wouldn't be able to do a combined one, e.g. United to win and Rooney to be first to score.

Make sure you pick a match that is in the next day or so, as they insist on this. Also don't produce your Odds on card until they ask for it. Think in general it is the same as the horse racing ones, so browse, approach counter, ask odds, check toilet etc. Good luck, hope you win.

It is people like you who has made many of my friends I have made on here no longer post.

Why not do the mature thing and rise above it? I assume we are all adults here, or am I wrong in your case?

And on the same topic, I quite often dont bother coming on this forum anymore, I just read the job alerts and leave. No point coming in when all I read is rubbish posts like yours slating other people.

But whats the point about moaning about people like you - it wont ever change, this board will always be the same.

Try and get three shops close together in date (you can do a max of 2 in a date). Pick a match and cover each team to win and the draw, then at least you will get something back

I had exactly the same thing happen to me a few months ago in Manchester. I hadn't spoken to anyone yet, was just browing but this other woman was doing what I was suppose to be doing. I made a quick exit and decided to go back later. So off I went to the next car dealership and low and behold, 25 minutes later she turned up! I then went to the next one and she arrived again but then must have realised what was going on and made a quick exit herself this time. Really, really weird isn't it?
I think BARE must allocate more than one shopper to the scenario and the shops to compare notes. Seems a strange way to do things.

Surely the car salesmen must smell a rat?

"Oh it's the brand new Honda Civic is it? Won't be needing a test drive then I take it?, No, Madam, didn't think so!"

"That's right, how did you know? What's your best price?"

And then they keep you waiting for half an hour pretending to talk to their manager while they go and have their lunch. :mad:

Debthater - it would be lovely if this forum changed but it does seem to be a lot of people having a go at each other sadly... sometimes I feel I have to comment as I cant believe what people are saying to each other ....

Re Pulse Panel - I was added and have done a few things through there over the past few months, not much though !

Hope everyone has a good ms weekend and a good weekend in general, have done 3 shops this morning and have a few jobs lined up for this week but nothing much else , fingers crossed for some more work in my area this week !

Hmmm great idea never thought of that! Ive got 2 on monday and 2 on tuesday and 2 the following week so I can bet each separate team in each match to win in different shops guaranteeing that 3 bets of 6 will win and get some money back!!:beer::T
