Indeed, leave the thread to die now. The only thing worse than losing money is someone rubbing it in your face.

PS, not a dig at you chip prince, just stating a fact and hope it can die down now!

Its a subjective thing anyway, Im sure the Camel has a bankroll big enough to have his biggest bet and still be able to bet.

Nothing is meant by my reply above, its only light hearted humour... Surely if Camel has posted on an internet forum to the world about having his biggest bet ever, when it goes wrong, surely he can expect some good natured banter?

No? Ok, my bad, let the thread die...

I had 10 grand on Utd at 2.02. My average bet on a football match is a monkey... and if I really think it's a huge value bet I will have 1-2 grand on.

The reason I posted it was I thought others might be interested in what I thought was the best value bet I've ever had on a football match. I would certainly look seriously at the betting of a game if someone else posted they had placed their biggest ever bet.

As it happens I laid half of my bet back at 1.87 about 5 minutes before City scored. From years of experience I have found that the market overreacts to a team dominating in the first part of the game.. the price should drift whatever is happening on the pitch (except for a goal or a sending off obv).

Having said that, I still believe it was an outstanding bet. I reckon if these two teams played under the same conditions 100 times, United would win about 2/3 of the games.

I wouldn't have made if the post if I didn't expect the piss taken out of me if United lost.. Try and outdo Tony G if you dare

That's not a good thing for your bet though?!  Your betting at little more than evens.

[scotty2hatty]

I knew I was going to be wrong there.  Feel ill.

[scotty2hatty]

Yeah. I'm a plonker.  Actually thought about it for a second!

I saw your post, fired up Betfair, placed a moderate wager on United. The 2.0 was a good price and I didn't know it was on offer until you piped up. It was value, thanks for the tip. So what that it didn't come through, that's not your fault. Thanks for the pointer, keep 'em coming.
