Quote from: Damo70 on February 25, 2015, 09:34:34 AMQuote from: Damo70 on February 24, 2015, 04:10:36 PMThe 6/1 double on the two home teams in the CL tonight was too tempting for me. Also got a 34/1 acca on Bristol City, Preston, Sheff U, Scunthorpe and Swindon. Plus a mad 90/1 acca on 8 teams in the Championship. The last time I copped for a silly one with lots of selections paid about 125/1 this time four years ago. I remember because it was just before my daughters birthday so I was just the go between picking it up from William Hill and giving it to Toys R Us.Had to amend my post (twice). I originally thought my 34/1 and 90/1 accas were only 17/1 and 45/1. Then I remembered I bottled it a bit and halved my stake. Now I can be twice as exited about twice the amount I probably won't win.Totally gutted. Scunthorpe let me down on my 34/1 and I got 7 out of 8 on my 90/1. I had Brentford, Derby, Ipswich, Boro, Sheff Wed, Watford, Wolves and 'F***ing Reading' as they are known from now until another team lets me down for a big win.Arsenal not beating Stoke away last season on a £2 7 fold did me for 27k, funnily enough I haven't done one since.

How is Matic's retaliation less worthy of punishment that Benteke's?They even have better lawyers than us😢Well, if Villa instructed me, Ads or Hopadop that would change. Oh fuck just realised that I may well have asked for an opinion from you three on this site. So ok to save my estate from being sued how much do I owe you?

My biggest 'miss out' on results accas have always been in the hundreds, although I did miss out on about three grand about fifteen years ago. I had a few quid on the winners of the four divisions, got three out of four right then my pick for the championship who let me down rubbed it in by winning the play off final. Funny you mention 27k. When I managed a bookies I had a bloke put a 50p Lucky 15 on one day, just over £8 stake in the old days of betting tax. He only came in with his work mates (they were all working on the road outside) and wasn't a gambler. He copied the sort of bets they were putting on and picked out the names of four horses. One was his daughters name, one something like the road he grew up in, that sort of 'tactic'. Nice guy in his fifties. He came in the following day. The conversation went like this,Me - "Do you know how much you've won"?Him - "I never bet but the lads reckon I've won a couple of grand"Me - "Try twenty seven grand"Him - "That's nice. I can pay off my mortgage"Me - "I can't pay you till tomorrow as due to the amount security have to check everything is above board. And then it will have to be by cheque"Him - "I don't care. I've won nearly thirty grand. You can leave it till next week and pay me in pennies for all I care"!
