blonde poker forum

This is how shit terrible my life is. This is what its like to be me.

I get home from work at 5pm. I have tennis at half 6 but but because im so sad/degen/very sad/very degen (delete as appropriate), i spend an hour studying the form for the evening racing at Huntingdon and Great Leighs.

I have £90 left in my Betfred account so figure ill do a £3 Each Way Lucky 15 bet. Brag: when i placed the bet it had to be referred to the traders because my bets get limited. Its a bit annoying tho. Anyway, this one was accepted, shib it.

After looking at all the races at Great Leighs, all i find is a 25/1 shot called Nassar in the 7.20 that is low in the weights, has proven ability and is ridden by Kirsty Milczarek (my Facebook friend, apologies). Massive Price.

I then look at Huntingdon and find 3 really nice sorts, and altho the prices arent ideal i go for them. Deo Gratias in the 6.40. Looks a decent shout. Low in the weights (which i like), has a decent claimer on board, who claims 3lb and has won on the ground and over the distance. Only negative is it hasnt run for like 2 years. But i see horses win all the time whove not run for absolutely ages. I take the 9/1.

In the 7.40, i really like the look of Marshalls Run and snap up the 6/1, and take Trebello in the 8.10, same again, low in the weights, decent claimer, 8/1 is ok.

I get in from tennis at 9pm, and turn on Racing UK to watch racing replay from Huntingdon. Its still on Redcar so i go to my personal planner and load up Great Leighs which i Sky+ed. Nassar is 14/1 at the off, and altho i am really pessimistic as always  under an incredible ride from Kirsty it comes in quite readily.

So, im so happy. What a start, already onto like £78 for the win side and £21 for the place side, and 3 horses to go with decent shouts. If 1 more wins i probably get over a Dime Ball!. If they all win i get like £72,000 (ok i accept this probably wont happen, lol). Even if they all place i get like 2 Dimes.

I sit and watch the Huntingdon races. Deo Gratias leads the whole way, then fitness shows 4 out and it comes nearly last. Im so dissapointed. But its not the end of the world. Especially when i see the betting in the next because Marshalls Run has come into 3/1 favourite. Wow, this must have a great shout and will definetly place, its been backed big time. I mean theres only 8 runners now.
Comes 4th. I throw an empty beer can at the wall in frustration ("your hard Brent") ("STFU").

Trebello comes nowhere either and i jus wana die. Im sitting here jus wanting to kill myself im so bitterely dissapointed


This is in no way a thinly veiled brag post tht i got £250 back. Im so dissapointed. I've never had a start like that, thought it was definetly gona be a big paydaynight.

Come on Boldie, even you have to sympathize.

The only positive thing is, i can do 2 £3 EW L15's tomorrow and lose £180. Shib it.

A+, would read again.

Next time try make it so you get to be 1cm from winning £70K though plz, kthx.

So brudel.

thought it was gonna be an all 4 won but did not click accept bet  kind of fuck my life thread.  At least didn't happen.

How did you get on at Tennis?

Why are your bets limited?  :dontask:

do u ever play tennis at david lloyds leeds brent? awsome courts just learning to play there.

Wanna swap Pand L for this week?

nice start tho mate, its a profit at the end of the day.

They limit the amount you can bet if u win a lot of ur bets or similar bets.

So slight brag: Horneris = Winner. so sick

ive been out cheering on the florence losers( more of that later) and ive had a few beers so i may be misreading but...

how did u get 250 back????

3 win at 25/1  £78
3 place around 15 - 20

so am i having a blonde moment??

Most firms pay dbl the odds for one winner on a Lucky 15, I am pretty usre that Betfred pay treble the odds for one winner.

that will be it m8

This used to happen me all the time when I was arbritrage betting, basically as ChipRich says bookies limit you if you are showing a good profit/have some idea what you are doing.

It used to be a game of cat and mouse with the bookies with arbing as I was betting on Russian 2nd div footie matches one minute then on some tennis tourney in asia and then a domestic cricket match etc. The bookies would get very suss, i must have had multiple accounts on about 15 different bookies under family numbers etc to keep ahead of the game. The bookies hated me as I always had an edge.

Okay thanks.

That F'ing sucks mate. I truly feel for you there, we've all (at least us degenerates) been there and there is no worse feeling in the betting world than a promising start and getting kicked in the nuts like that.

that's not the same really though, arbing hasn't got much to do with betting, theres no gambling involved, not if you're doing it right anyway.

arbing is almost dead as a serious money making exercise, you have to work so hard to find them now. Once your figured as an arber you just become an arb alert and you can have your £2.50 on.

[X] £45 e/w on the winner prefereble

hahaha. Class

Also, cheers Bobby, good point.

No. I just play in & for Tadcaster, never played there.

Will have to give it a try sometime.

True in both cases, its not gambling as such if you do it right. Though there are plenty of squeaky bum moments when a price moves on you before you can get it on.

I haven't really put much effort into arbing since 05, though i will take the odd one if i spot it. I used to do it manually by bringing up multiple windows and going through the prices 1 by 1, but software has taken over the market and the prices just don't stay for very long. Not like the golden days of 2001 when you could make 4 figs+ in the first week of wimbledon without even trying.

you can still find the odd one, there have been a couple on the snooker between handicaps and correct score. The greatest days were when bet and win first started and they got in what i can only assume was a couple blokes from the pub to compile the odds, i think some people never got their money off them running into the tens of thousands, fortunately we managed to get ours before they banned us.

Lol i remember bet and win i was always releived when the other side of the bet won with them. They limited my bets so quickly it wasn't worth staying with them.

I was quite lucky when i was arbing i never got my money stuck anywhere avoided the whole sporting options (think that was the name) debacle as well.
