Aiden O Briens win record West of the Shannon is poor but Unfortunatly the Bookies price every O Brien Runner on the Skinny Side .

Problem with Champions League Football is its a League .Some Away teams do not come to Play but to defend .I dont like it as a betting medium .I use to bet every Game for a euro to end 3_3 when the books use to pay 100/1 plus on this scoreline but now its under 66/1 .There use to be three or four 3_3 draws per league .Arsenal lack a Goal Scorer and the Dutch could stack the Midfield and play for the Draw .Win your own home games and take one away point is usually enough to qualify for the next round .

I'm gonna throw me lot €600 on Dundee United @ 11/10 against Inverness Caledonian Thistle next Sat at 3pm in the Scottish championship.

[Belker]

Dundee United have fer many years been my Fav team, they got me outta a Huge Huge hole a few years back.
Long story that few would understand, in short I think I made a Boo-boo in compiling, but Dundee United saved my bacon.

5 x "losers" is a terribly negative narrative, Ken. Kicked off with a 14.44/1 3rd, followed by a 10.5/1 second, beaten the shortest of short heads...

Anywaysanall, I'll try harder with today's card from Listowel, again live on TG4 albeit with the presenters speaking pigeon gaylega unless they're interviewing someone.

BSP is subject to 2% commission in the normal way, Ken. However, that's only an issue in the event of a return!

Nice treble ken But like I posted Betting 3-3 every game I could of cashed out on Byern @9/1 .In the other betting tread I refused to play as I said whoever was behind would act the bollox to try to win .Dundee Utd because they done you a turn 20 years ago Or my real money bet on Wales in the rugby because the USE to be good is why the bookies always win if you do not have Discipline you lose .My grand bet to win a Fiver is the Correct invrestment .5 days and a fiver interest  thats 36.4 % APR .Warren Buffet cant get that return .

4 X €50 Losers, €5 Placepot was also a Loser = €205 Loss.
€627 left in the RC pot.

[John m]

Farnce @1/200 a Grand win .VALUE BET .

France now 1/500 Still Value .Namibia could not win this if they all carried Rifles .

[Rat Catcher]

There you go with that loser word again, Ken. Two seconds and a third at decent odds in the four selections not to mention a winner in the placepot perm. Ifn I was a Premier League footballer (EPL) hitting the post that often the Saudis would be offering me US$1867,735,218/ week FFS.

Anywaysanall, I'm not going to be discouraged by your negativity. Today's selections (again at Listowel live on TG4):

I'm not a man accustomed to splitting hairs as you well know, Ken. However, I notice that your winning treble included two selections running simultaneously i.e. Arsenal and Bayern Munich. Not a problem, I hear you say... but... it's not possible to do a treble at Betfair Exchange prices in that manner simply because the only way to back on the exchange is before the event (ignoring "in running" options) and the only way to construct an accumulator is to take the entire return from each leg and place it on the next leg. There is, however, a "multiples" button for those football "coupons" which provide the option to construct such bets at somewhat reduced odds (presumably Betfair Sportsbook prices) and which are subject to staking limits. I'll try to upload a couple of screenshots to illustrate the same, bear with me!

OK... here we go!

Jesus Rodent .This is a serious case of Misadventure .Kenneth has selected 3 Teams that were successfull in their events but the Funding model is Flawed as no such staking moduel was available .I am sure this was an oversight by Kenneth but how do we resolve it .Do we split the Stake evenly on 3 singles or do we void the whole wager or do we just agree that as this is a virtual game that real world rules do not apply and settle the wager in Kenneths Favour .I think I will await your lead on this as it was your eagle eye that highlited the Hair Splitting non treble treble wager .I was quiet happy with my Grand on France later today to win a fiver.

[John m]

Ok Rodent after thinking about thinking about what you said I think that I have thought this out .Each of Kens bets are single Contracts on the exchange between Ken and the  3 Layers .So a treble is Void .To reward Kenneth for selecting Three winning sides I would agree to offer him a third of his stake to win on each of his selections as a sporting gesture .
