I would say NO, just a very clever man xxx

was lucky and don't mind admiting some clenching went on during the last few minutes after it went 2 2, when the goal went in for 3 2 probably "get in their my son" was heard @Istanbul from London

Got to be in it to win it.

Yes, sorry but I really do think that gambling is a mug's game. Glad that you got lucky but it doesn't happen very often. Most people lose far more than they win.

No argument from me there Issyc.

The High street(s) ( side street any any other street/road where they can find money) would not be lined with bookies for any other reason.

Does not mean you can't beat them.

Math lesson 1: "implied odds probability"

4/1 means £10 stake at 4/1 your horse wins you win £40 plus stake money.

To me 4/1 means that horse has a 1 in 4 chance of winning.

Out of 100 races that horse would win 25 lose 75, so i'd bet on that 4/1 horse to lose.

Translate horses into football.

Fraction decimal percentage.

Still a mug punter ? Probably, my math means I have a good idea of what i'm punting on. Controlling gambling addiction isn't a problem.

It's like waiting for a sel to expire, and checking it on the next day some you win some you lose, if you do it at random you will always lose.

3dogs where have you been ?

I'm here at last Frequent - first time I've got up to date since Friday evening :eek: :eek: Don't forget I am up in Wallsend visiting Mam, but also, i am on a mobile dongle up here, so keep losing my connection, I did post last night about 11 pm, a really long post, only to find when I pressed submit, that my connection had gone again :mad: :mad:

Had a lovely but busy day on Sunday when I did a family 'tea' for my brother's 65th as he decided that he would rather have that than go out for a meal

And Mam has been good at the home, quite cheery, and eating well, as ever, though you wouldn't think it to see her. She was about 6 1/2 stone when she was taken in to the unit in November 2010 but can only be about 5 stone at the most now, and more likely less

I did go to s/world up here yesterday and lost 3 lbs :j :j Mr 3Dogs got weighed back home and he'd lost 3 lbs too :j:j He was also Slimmer of the Month for January with 11 1/2 lost in the month - Mr January eh?

I know there is lots going on with the elite 11+ at the moment so (((hugs))) and congrats to all that need them, but must add my congats to meerkatsmimm on the birth of your baby daughter earlier today :j :j :j :j

I will try to keep posting but it is difficult to keep up when up here

I read somewhere that only 4% or so of Sports betters were long term winners

Nice to be missed

I know where I haven't been F - and that's Tesco other than a quick visit to North Shields/Norham Road store for the food for my brothers 'birthday tea' on Sunday, and I certainly didn't have time to look for 1p items, glitches or anything like that

sounds about right

for every 96 £ punted only £4 is paid out by the bookie
