blonde poker forum

Now I am confused. Every year in September I have a bit of a bet on the rugby and I am getting a little bit excited but also a little confused. The bet normally consists of 3 singles and a treble. You know small stakes just to have an interest in the season

The bets were as follows
Leicester Tigers to finish top of the Guinness Premiership during the regular season....£30 at 3/1   
Leicester Tigers to win the Heineken Cup....£20 at 12/1
and because I could not find another rugby bet I liked I decided on a football bet
Newcastle to get relegated.......£20 at 10/1 (a bet which Lord Flushy told me was rubbish at the Blonde Bash....bless)

Oh and a £30 treble on the above.

My excitement is fairly obvious...as I sit here on April 26th all the bets are still live. The tigers finished top in the regular season yesterday....they play in the semi final against Cardiff in the Heineken Cup next weekend. The Newcastle predicament is spoken about in far more depth in other areas on this site.

My confusion is that Ladbrokes have not yet settled the first single....is this normal? Why delay?
Also imagine that Newcastle are confirmed as relegated before the 23rd May and Leicester Tigers are in the final of the Heineken cup......what is the best way of laying the bet off?

I know lots and lots of ifs.....but dreaming is kind of good fun

A question for you, when did you change your name!!?

Also what a mug bet, i must have been drunk though as i know fuck all about the EPL

Don't you ever sleep......

If they were all placed on one betting slip then they'll only pay out when everything is decided. £17760 if all 3 win. Nice.

Sandy

Would they do that if bet placed online as well?


PS

Great bet Phil gl with scooping!

some bookies are crap like that, a decent bookie will get your bet settled asap.

obviously you can back leicesters opponents in the final if it gets that far, again a decent bookie will let you bet out of your potential multiple winnings. Or you might want to lay them on betfair but depending on the price you may need a big lump of money in there to do it for a decent sum.

bump the thread if it becomes a possibility

Yeah as mentioned if they go down then it is best to Lay Leicester in the final on betfair for a certain amount to Gaurantee yourself a nice result.

If if gets to this point then bump the thread or send me a PM and ill sort something out for you.

Thank you all. I shall enlist your services it starts looking juicy. Good news Laddies apologised for the oversight and paid out the first single......game on.

I bet you were shouting and swearing lots there :-)

Good luck.

Sandy

Oh my word I had the full range of emotions. Convinced with 10 mins to go that we had it wrapped up........then penalties and I was sure we were out........then the joy of the win.........on it goes. Almost the most fun I have had for £30............now how the hell do I get a win out of Sunderland

I opened this thread and couldn't believe there was a poster with over a 1000 posts I had never read a post by!

Who is it?

I thought exactly the same, must have been a name change somewhere?!

lol, its Snatiramas

nice, that's who I thought

So we are now reduced to prayer. I pray that Newcastle don't win......not necessarily go down but lose at home tomorrow. Then the Tigers manage to beat what I believe to be a very good Leinster team and we can then lay off a few grand on Hull............the world needs dreamers

So ten members of the family trundle off to Twickers to watch the final of the Guinness premiership and I check the football scores at about 3.30pm as we are setting out. Bolton 1 Hull 0. Newcastle 0 Fulham 0. At this point I realise that I can't possibly enjoy the rugby if I am thinking about the football, or if I know Hull have lost or Newcastle have won. So I switch the phone off and just forget about it all.

Finals are rarely great games and this was no different. Still the Tigers won and Adam Rachel and I had a great time. Set me up for the marathon drive up to Edinburgh next weekend.  Mad I know but as Max Boyce would say "I was there".

So anyway the game finishes and I turn the phone back on and blow me over but Newcastle have lost and Hull have got a point. Now all I need is a Tigers win on Saturday and I can lay this puppy off. Then I can hope that Newcastle can stay up for the loyal supporters on this forum. In honesty I don't like Mr. Brown very much.....cmon you Tigers!!!!!!

A message I just sent to Chompy

Hi Chompy,,,,,,funny I just sat bolt upright in bed and realised I could lay Leinster, come downstairs and see you recommend the same. What tremendous fun for £30. I will check up on the payout limits though, tremendously sound advice

now we are in a deal or no deal situation......maths to follow

Okay so I could do any of the following
[] Lay off almost equally between Leinster, Newcastle, Hull and if still mathematically possible Sunderland which by my calcs will net about £6k
[] Lay off a smaller variant and leave more to ride say 3k which means if Leicester win I would get about £8k
[] Never take the mickey out of anybody on that show ever again

Good luck for next weekend. Not just with the bet. My Dad took me to the finals in Paris and Cardiff. Shame i can't return the favour next week but i'm confident Leicester can do it.

what happened to Bilko?

Bilko is dead, long live Snatiramas

That Paris final was my favourite live match of all time. Went over on the Eurostar with my kid sister €100. Had lunch at La Gare €40 (strongly recommended by the way) on the way to Parc des Princes. Got very drunk on good French Red €60 and watched my team stuff the Parisiens in Paris, 2 tickets €200. Watching grown Frenchmen cry......priceless.

And so to Edinburgh. I have just bet £4000 at evens for Leinster to beat Leicester to ensure a return. Will come in handy now I am jobless.......... swings and roundabouts, swings and roundabouts.......

French all around me camply high fiving when they led was unbearable. Good old Leon Lloyd to the rescue though.
Love the stadium and loved the day out aswell. Enjoy yourself in Scotland!

Good luck Phil!!

gl with this, I'm not usually a fan of laying off bets. In this spot it makes plenty of sense though. Leicester aren't the team they were a while back and while they still have that happy knack of winning they haven't had to beat any really decent sides until now. The game looks about coinflip so why not lock up some profit at evens.

Enjoy the game, I was there when they beat Munster when Austin was brilliant and Neil Back did the rest. Best atmosphere of any rugby game I've been to.

So let me get this correct:

Leicester are playing in the final today? (I don't follow Rugby one bit and have no clue about it whatsoever!)

We all know Newcastle's final game of season is tomorrow and what all the possible outcomes are!

What a weekend for you!

Unlucly today. I don't know you personally but i've got a sneaking suspicion you were on TV after Leicester scored.

why unlucky, what happened? did leicester not win one of the two tourney's they were in?

Leicester lost by 3 points in the European Cup final yesterday. Wasn't bad luck as such they didn't play as well as they could but for the bet although a huge chunk of profit was secured it wasn't the big win.

And of course that is life.....no £17k, no £8k,.....£4k will have to do. It was indeed me and ads on 42 mins after Dupuy scored the penalty to put Leicester 16 points to 9 up. Leinster deserved to win. Not often you can get one wrong and pick up £4k I suppose. I hate it when my team lose.....still I will start work on next seasons bet. There will be no value on the Tigers but between you and me I think Saracens might get relegated which will be a huge price. You heard it here first
