The Sports Betting Thread

[22]

Don't know if this has been done, is allowed, anyone cares?

Obviously with caveats, gamble aware, know your limits etc.

Just a place to share any bets you've made on sporting events and their outcomes, or maybe a tip for the 2:30 at Plumpton.

I chucked a tenner on Dave Gilbert to win the world championship snooker. He went from 66/1 before playing a shot, to 100/1 after 1 frame and 200/1 early in the second - all in the time it took me to set-up a betting app. Bet was entirely based on a tenuous link to a similarly named college classmate back in the eighties (and DG seems a nice chap)

There's a lad at work with a big old gambling debt, so absolutely this is a fun thread. Don't make bets based on the postings of PHers.

There's no money in it, just ask Diane Coates.

She's doing it so tough she only earned £422M salary and £48m in bonuses out of Bet365 in 2020.

I get what you mean about making bets based on gut feelings or random connections. I once placed a small bet on a football match because the team shared the same name as my childhood street. It didn’t work out, but it made the game more fun to watch.

Holding my own on quite a large volume of bets currently

Boxing especially
