And I am guessing they were even bigger handicap marks available during the game

Biggest I saw myself. had the three Spanish clubs in an accumulator last night. Strange for me to do an accy, but I was pretty sure about it.
Vila-real look awful at the moment and unfortunately my Spanish club lost. The tidy winnings softened the blow though

Well as they started on +14 and were 22-6 (i think) down at one stage I'm guessing they would have been around +30 at that time.

Because quite simply I wasn't interested in playing on a 1/7 shot. My loss as you are pointing out but my prerogative ... that's gambling.

I know


That game should be a lesson though as Leeds never looked like they were not going to win but just settled for what they had and made sure they went through. Catalans knew they had one throw of the dice and went for it and the result was a +7 win.

Anyone who convinces me that +14 points is worth backing in any play off/final etc and I will give up betting.

Even if you had been right it would still not have been a good bet theoretically.

I take it you filled your boots on Catalans +14 then taking into account what you just wrote?

Theory is fine but it doesn't get the adrenaline flowing.

Not filled my boots but had a little tickle, backing odds on is not really my thing but this was an opportunity to get a few sheckles for bigger fish to fry tomorrow.

Fair point.

I just accept it (maybe learn from it, can't gaurantee that one) and play again tomorrow.

Finally "Fraudley" Harrison does something good for once...

A Force was a cracking bet tonight. Wish ihad the balls to back him big!
