Title: Mo Farah Post by: Dubai on August 28, 2011, 11:23:40 AM Stays a marathon with finishing kick of 3000m runner- main rival not run for 2 years and rumours were going round about him withdrawing this morning- admittedly he is top class but 3 time world champs don't take year+ off when they are in shape
Farah wins Title: Re: Mo Farah Post by: Dubai on August 28, 2011, 11:25:43 AM Oh Bekele never lost over 10000m but I've still lumped on the 4-5 Farah
:) Title: Re: Mo Farah Post by: Josedinho on August 28, 2011, 11:26:44 AM 4/6 worth taking?
4/7 too short? Title: Re: Mo Farah Post by: Dubai on August 28, 2011, 11:28:06 AM 1-2 with me, Bekele needs to lose Farah before last lap, dunno how he can do it without being in top shape?
Title: Re: Mo Farah Post by: Dubai on August 28, 2011, 11:47:35 AM Bekele pulls out when beaten.
Title: Re: Mo Farah Post by: Dubai on August 28, 2011, 11:58:26 AM Amateur stuff- went miles too far out- crazy stuff
Title: Re: Mo Farah Post by: Dubai on August 28, 2011, 11:59:33 AM What was he thinking? Why not wait till the bell?
Title: Re: Mo Farah Post by: TightEnd on August 28, 2011, 12:04:57 PM Agony to watch that, almost got it spot on. Go later next time, great effort
Title: Re: Mo Farah Post by: Josedinho on August 28, 2011, 12:17:18 PM What an idiot. He wins the Olympics thought but that won't bring my money back.
Title: Re: Mo Farah Post by: action man on August 28, 2011, 12:19:49 PM lol what happened?
Title: Re: Mo Farah Post by: Josedinho on August 28, 2011, 12:35:54 PM Started sprinting from about 650 out and couldn't keep it up for the last 100. Was so comfortable. If he waited he'd have won.

Title: Re: Mo Farah Post by: Dubai on August 28, 2011, 12:49:04 PM Chased on Bolt at 1-10
God bless bank holiday weekends Title: Re: Mo Farah Post by: boldie on August 28, 2011, 05:34:01 PM Title: Re: Mo Farah Post by: Jamier-Host on August 29, 2011, 06:31:27 PM Chased on Bolt at 1-10 God bless bank holiday weekends Hope it was with Paddy.... ;) Title: Re: Mo Farah Post by: boldie on August 29, 2011, 06:33:15 PM Chased on Bolt at 1-10 God bless bank holiday weekends Hope it was with Paddy.... ;) Did Paddy refund bets on Bolt? Title: Re: Mo Farah Post by: Dubai on August 29, 2011, 07:49:25 PM Bolt bet was a joke, although 1-10 looked fair I didn't play lol
Farah was 5-2 for 5000m with hills- no idea if they laid any of it but can't see it now Title: Re: Mo Farah Post by: BrumBilly on August 29, 2011, 08:39:33 PM Had £40 on Robles @ 6/4 and Robles in a £20 double with Jeter also @ 6/4 with Bluesq
My account showed just over £250 profit after they both won then half hour after Robles crossed the line they wiped out the winnings sayin they'd paid me by mistake. My mate had backed the initial silver medalist with Will Hill but they didn't pay him. He rang Hills and they gave him a £25 free bet, I rang Bluesq and they said they'd paid me by mistake and the fact I hadn't pulled the money out straight away was no reason why they should give me a free bet as a sign of good faith and wanting to keep my custom. Bit of a joke really, not asking to be paid first past the post as that's not their policy but to not even match the Hills customer service after having shown the money in my account is bad form if u ask me. Title: Re: Mo Farah Post by: action man on August 29, 2011, 09:54:02 PM bsq are a tin pot firm full stop
Title: Re: Mo Farah Post by: BrumBilly on August 30, 2011, 05:52:35 AM Well after speaking to a manager and getting a bit of a cheeky/sarcastic response I've decided not to bet with them again! I'm only small fry in terms of sports betting (few hundred wagered over course of this championships) so they can get away with treating me in shoddy fashion. Still can't believe they put money into my account then took it back out and didn't seem to acknowledge how far a small good will gesture would have gone. Instead of slating them off to mates, I'd have said they'd atleast valued my custom after making an unfortunate error.
On the upside, the bet I had straight after on Hills is lookin ok so far. gl anyone else who's tryin to squeeze out a profit on the Daegu action. Title: Re: Mo Farah Post by: Jamier-Host on August 31, 2011, 01:35:46 PM Chased on Bolt at 1-10 God bless bank holiday weekends Hope it was with Paddy.... ;) Did Paddy refund bets on Bolt? Standard response for this sort of thing. Doubt it cost much as odds pretty prohibitive for most. Title: Re: Mo Farah Post by: boldie on August 31, 2011, 01:42:17 PM Chased on Bolt at 1-10 God bless bank holiday weekends Hope it was with Paddy.... ;) Did Paddy refund bets on Bolt? Standard response for this sort of thing. Doubt it cost much as odds pretty prohibitive for most. Yeah, they probably only laid something like £500 to win £50. (In loads of £20 bets as they won't lay it for real money ;) ) They could have advertised it before the athletics though "If Bolt doesn't win you get your money back" as this was the only way Bolt wasn't going to piss in. (unless he got injured) Title: Re: Mo Farah Post by: Dubai on September 01, 2011, 12:15:14 PM Anyone fancy Dai Greene at 2-1?
Title: Re: Mo Farah Post by: kinboshi on September 01, 2011, 12:31:29 PM Anyone fancy Dai Greene at 2-1? Not at those odds for me, but he's a competitor who performs well on the big stage rather than choking like others do - so definitely in with a shout. Title: Re: Mo Farah Post by: craigbetts on September 01, 2011, 12:38:18 PM Anyone fancy Dai Greene at 2-1? Not at those odds for me, but he's a competitor who performs well on the big stage rather than choking like others do - so definitely in with a shout. Nailed on medal contender who qual'd in the second fastest time whilst easing up and getting his stride pattern all wrong between the last two hurdles. So its a yes from me, which usually means swerve at all costs! Title: Re: Mo Farah Post by: Dubai on September 01, 2011, 12:41:07 PM I thought he looked strongest qualifier- athletics one of few sports where I feel Brits underrated in markets still
Title: Re: Mo Farah Post by: craigbetts on September 01, 2011, 01:00:23 PM I have just cheered as loud as any sporting event with that performance from Hannah England. Class name and what a run!!
Title: Re: Mo Farah Post by: Dubai on September 01, 2011, 01:02:45 PM Pace of race helped her, not being negative but if she had run a mote confident race and gave herself a chance she might have won
50-1 beats 50-1, big forecast Title: Re: Mo Farah Post by: craigbetts on September 01, 2011, 01:36:34 PM Just gone berserk!!! Get in, ship it.
Title: Re: Mo Farah Post by: Dubai on September 01, 2011, 01:37:37 PM Greene ran very smart race there
Anyone else think Culson was one who false started when they showed replay? Thought he was gonna be dqed Title: Re: Mo Farah Post by: craigbetts on September 01, 2011, 01:41:32 PM Greene ran very smart race there Anyone else think Culson was one who false started when they showed replay? Thought he was gonna be dqed Defo agree Culson was first to move! Greene ran not so green in the first 300m and thats what won it for him. Wiiii Title: Re: Mo Farah Post by: kinboshi on September 01, 2011, 02:11:00 PM Anyone fancy Dai Greene at 2-1? Not at those odds for me, but he's a competitor who performs well on the big stage rather than choking like others do - so definitely in with a shout. Told ya. :D Title: Re: Mo Farah Post by: gatso on September 01, 2011, 07:52:30 PM just watched hannah england's run, glad I didn't know the result before, amazing performance. with 300 to go couldn't see any way she was going to get anywhere near the medals
Title: Re: Mo Farah Post by: Dubai on September 04, 2011, 11:42:42 AM Gave Mo a 2nd chance in 5000m at 6-4 thro to 7-4
Title: Re: Mo Farah Post by: craigbetts on September 04, 2011, 11:57:46 AM Gave Mo a 2nd chance in 5000m at 6-4 thro to 7-4 WP, that was pure guts from Mo! Title: Re: Mo Farah Post by: Dubai on September 04, 2011, 12:00:33 PM I'm most unpatriotic person/gambler ever but backed Idowu too, good 5mims there
Title: Re: Mo Farah Post by: Dubai on September 04, 2011, 12:47:39 PM 17.77 and 2nd-would have taken 1-20 that would have been enough
Title: Re: Mo Farah Post by: redarmi on September 04, 2011, 01:00:15 PM 365's PR guy just tweeted 5/6 each of two Farrah to win a gold in London. Not one for ante post bettiing of this klind at all but if it started tomorrow I would be closer to 1/2 yes 2/1 no to 100%...take into accoutn injuries and maybe 8/13 13/8 but still seems fair.
Title: Re: Mo Farah Post by: Dubai on September 04, 2011, 01:22:29 PM Yeah 5/6 looks very big at this stage
Title: Re: Mo Farah Post by: kinboshi on September 04, 2011, 02:25:49 PM Mo was brilliant. Gutsy run, and tactics spot on.
Title: Re: Mo Farah Post by: kinboshi on September 04, 2011, 02:45:35 PM For the Olympics the big question is whether or not Bekele will be fit and back anywhere near his best in time. If he is, he's unbeatable. But if he's not quite back it'll give Mo and others the chance to go for gold.
