I see that as being similar to how literary snobs draw a line between the works of Shakespeare and Tolstoy, and the latest blockbuster to emerge from the pen of the ghostwriter employed by Katie Price's publishers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With last season's premiership results from football-data.co.uk and using the Bet365 odds on the table, surprisingly you'd make one For an outlay of £300, you'd win £331.10, so £31.10. Very decent. For Rangers, you'd lose £4.30, off £290 outlay (they had a postponed game) For Hearts, you'd lose £126.50 If you spent the season betting against Hearts, you'd win £80.10, though that would require remarkable foresight. Edit: The big money is in betting ON Hamilton, or against Rangers; £118 and £136 respectively, though that's on the strength of Accies beating Rangers at Ibrox for about the 5th time in a hundred years, which would have net you £210..

Theroadlesstravelled Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 Is betting ever week on Celtic for 30 sheets profit at the end of the season the calling card of a moron or not? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 Folk who hate cats. Not the folk who just dont particularly like cats, the ones who for some bizarre reason rant at disproportionate levels about how cats should be killed/shot/poisoned or whatever else for passing through their garden. I have known a good few of these and it has always been a pretty strong indicator of moron. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hate to break it to you, but there are all manner of small animals and insects shitting, shagging, giving birth, and murdering each other in there all the live-long day. Maybe a bit of concrete might help with your sanity. Just don't think too hard about the microbes living on and in your body, feeding on your precious bodily fluids. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only as much as supporting them is. I'm not interested in betting, but I can't imagine the thrill of seeing your £30 mount up over the season would be particularly absorbing.

Academically Deficient Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 On 04/08/2020 at 13:54, pandarilla said: Pretty much this for me, too. I budget for a tenner a week, and any winnings are a bonus. I usually work out roughly even over a season. Maybe slightly up or down. I have rules I stick to. Only bet on football, no more than 4 games per accumulator. The only stupid bets I make are after 4 pre-match pints if Scotland are playing. Even then it's nothing major. Having said all that, the bookies I go to in Govan is so depressing that I haven't placed on a game for ages. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
