The Race for Champions League Places

It was out of his bank account, not winnings.

I might ring him in a minute...make sure he's ok.

Sickener.

Been there myself many a time thinking you are buying some free money, but bigger punts like this would usually only be risked out of winnings or if I was chasing.

Was a dangerous bet, side looking to stay up at the end of the season.
Poor bloke!

[Craig_H]

He can afford it, but it's still a slap in the face for sure. If he couldnt afford it, i'd not be seeing the funny side

[Craig_H]

It's situations like this which make me glad that i've not felt the desire to have a bet in a good few months now

[Craig_H]

I might ask him to stick a hefty wedge on Chelsea to win the FA Cup

I knew there was a reason United have only lost once in three months

[BootRoom]

He can get it all back by putting a big wager on the mancs to beat the bitters.

I've let the side down havent i?

Could do, but - and i've not looked at the odds - surely the price for a manc win would mean he'd have to stick a good few grand on to come out even. Doubt he'll be doing that

I'll hopefully never do another bet but one of my stupidest had to be on a charity match.

It was a world 11 with the average age of about 40 against a European 11 full of the best players playing in Europe at the time.

I put £500 on the European side thinking it was easy money, and although I can't remember the h/t score, the cunts changed players and all the best ones from my team played the second half for the world 11, winning it for them.

I once put £3000 on AC Milan to win at home to Lecce at 1/6 - easy £500

Took Milan 70 odd minutes to score. Then Lecce equalise on 85 mins

Pippo Inzaghi wins it for Milan in the 90th minute.

**** me, that one was close for comfort

[Craig_H]

His phone is switched off, it seems

I'd love to be making a huge chunk on the IPL cricket this year but last year really knocked me heavy. Was £9,000 up on IPL, English T20 and Summer tests (for 3 months effort including 3 £700+ losses). End of the summer with the T20 Champions League and I lost £4,000- back in two weeks

Giving it a miss this year

Losing money whilst having to watch cricket. If there is a hell, I think you've just described mine.

What made him think it was easy money? Did he just look at the table rather than the recent form? Wigan are one of the most in form teams at the moment and coming into the game off the back of beating Man Utd, they were always going to be full of confidence. I fancied them to get a draw before the game.
