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!

Barnsley to win Barnsley v Ipswich (11/8)
C.Palace to win C.Palace v Blackpool (6/5)
Coventry to win Coventry v Leicester (13/8)
Newcastle to win Newcastle v Bristol City (4/7)
Sheff Utd to win Sheff Utd v Doncaster (4/6)


36/1

not bad odds for this bet.

As much as I don't want it to happen, Wigan to win by a margin of 1-10 @ 7/2 looks very good value to me.

I've just had £50 double on QPR and Cardiff, almost 6/1
