at least you won something.
its extra sad because I picked up on 10/1 on the KO1 for Price which would have taken the accumulator to about 70/1, but i just couldn't bring myself to move some funds. Then of course it shortened dramatically to 6/1 in places.

I'm just not a gambler any more :( This type of night doesnt come along very often, real value... the old me would have piled on the first three rounds for price with maybe a hedge on the fourth, then placed a couple of accumulators covering the rd 1 and 2...

It's not all bad though. At least you haven't lost. There may have been a time when you've done your nuts and not had a pot to piss in. Bet what you can afford to lose. I didn't really lump on, although I had enough on it. This year so far has been good as fights I've bet big have all won and even the silly 6-1/10-1 shots have been coming in. It's not always the case though. I try and do it for fun but when you've got a good hunch it's a money making exercise and shit gets real.

No, but I used to use their poker site and I receive emails and texts quite a lot about some bonus I'm missing.
I've been with them about a year I don't spend as much as I used to but they text and email me a couple of times a week. Replying STOP does fcuk aw. Rant over...

Decent site to bet with though. If you bet 10 quid in a day you get a loyalty stamp. Every 5 of these you get equals a free 5quid bet. They tend to give out a few freebies

They are good I must admit that. Free 10 quid bet when joining and the loyalty stamp does reward you for your spending.

Had a fortunate win on Chelsea and Fulham today so I'm maybe riding my luck but I'm going for a Anderson, McDonnell and Brook stoppage wins at just over evens for the treble.

Cheers mate. I placed it as Brook was walking into the ring and I had him stoppage too which was bringing in over a grand; Skybet had me off though and took that bet off!

I think Pique is injured. An easy 2-0 win for the Hoops with a Sammy double - get your money on that!

Realistically both teams to score should be a decent bet IMO :DD

I wouldn't bet against Shakhtar at home or any team from that part of Europe to be honest. The conditions always give the away team hell. Chealsea will be favoured, but it's a tough one. I wouldn't be against Bate Borisov either. They've looked good so far, and Valencia don't look as strong this year.

The odds of Bates european form continuing dont favour them in my eyes, although they have made superb progress this year. Amazed Bressan hasn't been picked up around a higher level, been a gem on FM for years!!

Every time i bet against Chelsea i lose, did originally have it down as a draw but wimped out at a moments notice.
