Some bloke put 4k on Mali to win at 4-0...

Thought he was buying money, if he had the £4000 in some investment plan or high interest bank account it'd take at least a month to make the £40, so instead got this idea of repeated bets at 1/100. Sort of a decent idea but too nerve wracking nothings foolproof.

That result fucking stinks for me.

 

What sort of game would get the public back on side for a tournament that people were calling for the cancellation of due to a murder attempt on a team?

 

4nil down, to 4 all in the last 15mins in the curtain raiser game after all that negativity?

 

That'll do nicely for PR I'd imagine.

I stuck a grand on Villarreal to beat Newcastle in a friendly (yes, really, a friendly) one time when they were 2-0 up with about 10 minutes to go. It was on betfair, think i stood to win about £40... Nicky Butt scored twice in quick succession and it finished 2-2... :whoops:

 

That wasn't a pleasant evening, but i learned a lesson and luckily i was up about £600 that week anyway so not a total disaster...

 

There were rumours of a massive bet at HT on Milan in 2005 CL Final on betfair - several K. No such thing as free money

I agree wholeheartedly there's something way beyond dicey about it.

 

You cynical bastards!!! I agree totally, when Togo said they were fucking off, then changed their minds, my first thought was "hmm wonder how much they've been offered"? Then they went and changed their minds back and left.

"A University student recently thought he would make a tidy profit by betting his student loan on the Angola that were currently winning at the 78th minute, naively thinking he would win £440. With the game being 4-0 to Angola and ten minutes left, I only presume he thought 'what are the chances of losing?'

 

L-fucking-o-l. What this guy fails to realise the 1% odds for a £4400 bet is not £440, it's £44 and furthermore, Africans are the most unpredictable people on Earth. Mali astonishingly scored 4 goals in 10 minutes. Needless to say, this guy lost all his money and is probably going to drop out of University.

 

 

Don't kill yourself kiddo. The year is still early."
