Right I'm in so you start with £20 and need to bet £20 or could you bet a 10a leaving you with a 10a?

 

Can bet any amount mate (within the budget you have in the game).

BET365 rang me and give me £20 worth of free bets... made £130 from those internationals at the weekend

I was going to stick a 10a on Richard Dunne first goal at 40/1, but ended up just sticking £2 on :lol:

As a side not you know when Ireland are playing, and winning against a good European side away, I have no explanation for why, but I feel like it's a victory for us and the Premiership, shame the other home nations didn't feel the same for England. Caleb Folan was tremendous.

I'll start from scratch anyways with my midweek bet placed it yesterday with ladbrokes.
Portugal @ 2/5 Pending

Argentina @ evens Pending

Brazil @ 1/3 Pending

Russia @ 8/11 Pending

Stake £20

 

 

Bulgaria was a great result for us, can't say i'd have backed any irishman to get first goal, i thought we were in for a battering tbh, draw was fantastic though... pity we didn't beat italy away that time :lol: soo close

Italy are shite you'll have no reason to fear them at home. A 1-0 could be on for you. Bulgaria aren't all that neither, Radostin Kishishev oh dear.

Fantastic, wasn't he? They just couldn't deal with him.

Right I've started my attempt.

 

£10 on England -2 tonight 8/11

 

Reason - They'd beat their full international side never mind the current u21 crop, it should be nearer 6-0 than 1-0, if their form is anything to go by.

 

£10 on Jo'Burg 515 Folkestone 4/5

 

Reason - The class horse in the race with Seb Sanders on board, and largely novice jockeys against him, is top weight but he should be far far too good for the rest of this field. Should win by at least 5 length.

The score was 7-0 won £7.27 on that bet, but the horse lost.

 

So my running total is £17.27.

 

I think the rule for this tournament should be you're alive till you balance is under £2. Then you're out till someone wins.
