MikeO Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 Thinking about doing the free shirt offer with Paddy Power (place four £10 bets and get a shirt) but I'm not a gambler . Any advice on the best way to (try to) break even? Or even make a couple of quid. Can't bet on anything less than evens or have more than one bet on a single event.

jamiemaher85 Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 I do the odd accumulator but dont really gamble much, only ever about £1 at a time. But i can tell you what i'd bet on if i was to do that. To keep it safer i'd do single bets, may as well play it safe. At least for a few of them. Looking at the Long List this weekend I would say that some good odds would be:- - QPR to beat Notts Forest, thats at 11/10. - St Mirren to be Dundee at 11/10. - Marseille to beat Rennes at 7/4 - Northampton to beat Bournemouth at 6/4. They would b what i'd go for. They wont be big winners but i think they are fairly safeish and if you are betting on the back of this shirt offer i'd go for the safest options. maybe do three signle games and an accumulator to mix it up a bit.

MikeO Posted August 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 Thanks Jamie but it's a done deal.....gone along those lines anyway...identical in one case . I've got QPR to beat Forest at 11/10. Coventry to beat Swansea at evens. Sunderland to beat Blackburn at 11/10. Birmingham to beat Stoke at 13/10. One comes in and I've got a cheap shirt (or Josh has more likely). Two and I get a free one....be happy with that. Even if they all lose it's only cost a fiver because I'd have bought him one anyway . Forest all over QPR according to Final Score . Coventry have missed a penalty....now I remember why I don't bet.....I carry the curse . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 1 out of 4 is not a good return, i hope you like the shirt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeO Posted August 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 1 out of 4 is not a good return, i hope you like the shirt. Works out I got it for £19, so no not great.....but better than a poke in the eye with a rolled up copy of the Sporting Life. And a £16 saving .

aaron Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 One of my best mates works for Betfred (just started there) and is going to give me the top tips when I decided to put a bet on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamiemaher85 Posted August 23, 2009 Report Share Posted August 23, 2009 Did a accumulator yesterday, 10 games, 9 right and only QPR wrong, they where 1 up but then threw it away. Damn. Would have won me £300. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
