That must be some impressive Spready you keep! Tidying up my accounts. It was in Pending bets with Paddy Power. I was a young man when I placed that. Title: Re: You can't eat value Post by: The Camel on February 11, 2013, 11:06:33 PM Also found £300 in an old Coral account, which was nice!

Title: Re: You can't eat value Post by: The Camel on February 11, 2013, 11:18:15 PM No sofa pennies for you! I remembered this immediately. I put it in last year when they promised to lay any horse at the Cheltenham Festival to any account. Turns out (surprise surprise) they were best price on zero horses and didn't lay each way to this guarantee. Title: Re: You can't eat value Post by: George2Loose on February 11, 2013, 11:24:58 PM Think Horner has the same bet somewhere.

Mind you, still some way to catch up with Cambridge "I was cleaning my room and found a grand" Alex. I found a HMV voucher recently. That's how good I run Title: Re: You can't eat value Post by: The Camel on February 11, 2013, 11:30:08 PM No sofa pennies for you! I remembered this immediately.

That's how good I run How about this one: A famous poker player has got a suite in the Metropole near the Vic during the EPT London. Get's pissed, goes back to his room with 20k in his pocket, puts behind the mini bar for safe keeping because he's off to strip club. Forgets about it obviously. Fast forward a year. In a similar situation, got another 10k in his pocket where would be a good place to hide it? Behind his mini bar in his suite obviously. Bingo, he finds the 20k he left there the year before! Title: Re: You can't eat value Post by: tikay on February 11, 2013, 11:33:26 PM That sounds like a Mad Marty yarn. Except for the £20k.

Title: Re: You can't eat value Post by: The Camel on February 11, 2013, 11:36:42 PM That sounds like a Mad Marty yarn. Except for the £20k. Nope not Marty, or Devilfish for that matter. I would say at 50% chance the story is true. Maybe embellished slightly (put there earlier the same week and forgotten about seems most likely fib). Still a good story. Title: Re: You can't eat value Post by: Horneris on February 11, 2013, 11:39:49 PM Think Horner has the same bet somewhere. haha indeed, but mine is only just over 7 years old. Just sits in my current bets on betfair for ever and ever. Specials / Next Man Utd Manager S. G Eriksson Back 1826072437 05-Dec-05 16:55 18 1.34 19.11 05-Dec-05 16:55 At least in his current role as Technical Director of Al Nasr SC, he looks well and truly primed for one of the biggest managerial jobs in football. Title: Re: You can't eat value Post by: Karabiner on February 11, 2013, 11:41:58 PM A happier ending than the guy who left a chunk hidden under the plastic bag in a waste-paper basket in a Vegas hotel for safety and forgot to retrieve it before checking out..

I have a 100% true story not quite 20k though, go to Belgium with Scotland, obviously do Amsterdam first (as you do), a friend (actual friend not me!) leaves his solid silver antique kilt belt (worth about £1,000 I think) in a window, head off to Belgium, watch Scotland get humped, head back to Amsterdam for 2 days to fly back home, and as we are walking down the street a girl (of the night) comes running out of a window in her underwear shouting "Mr Scotsman, Mr Scotsman" and hands my mate his belt back! literally would not have believed it if I had not see it with my own eyes!

Title: Re: You can't eat value Post by: JaffaCake on February 15, 2013, 04:58:58 PM Was trying to find my £50 on Michael Owen to play for England again, put on the day he was first dropped by Fabio in 2009 or something, and while trying to get my Ladbrokes history (can only go back to start of last year unless I'm doing it wrong) I've somehow got £33ew on Champion Court for the Ryanair at Cheltenham. Is this a good bet Keef? No idea who told me to do this, Channing maybe?

Is this a good bet Keef? No idea who told me to do this, Channing maybe? Got a chance, loves Cheltenham, jumps great and is honest and tough. But it's looking like a really hot race this year with lots of horse who would normally run in the Champion being scared of Sprinter Sacre and going for this. What price did you get?

And why would you take a £1,000 belt on a lads week away in Amsterdam and Brussels? |
