Or just plain stupid. But at least you didn't get into any trouble.

He admits himself at the start he was stupid. A lot of good stories come from people's stupidity, look at some of Ric Flairs stories he's posted on here.

Got a classic story of when I used to work in a bookies. Was young and stupid! Me and a colleague decided it would be a good idea to win some 'easy money' we saw a football match and the odds for them to win were something like 1/4. I think it was a Russian team. Might have been zenit. We banged £400 on it. The scary bit was it wasn't our money! It was from the safe. So you may have guessed... They lost 2-0. We now have to win this £400 back. So we turn to horses. £200 on a 2/1 would win it all back. Horse loses. Safe £600 down. £300 on a 2/1 horse shortly follows. It lost! Safe £900 down. £450 on 2/1 horse. It lost. Safe now £1350 down. You can imagine how we are feeling now. Not only are we going to get sacked... The police will surely be involved aswell. The stakes on horses now are becoming ridiculous. £750 is the next bet on a horse at 15/8 or something. They are now having to phone up to check if they can place the bets ! We were taking it in turns to place the bets in different bookies around the town. When asked how we had so much money we said we won a load at casino the other day! Anyway you May have guessed the £750 horse lost. It lost well aswell. Came last! We are now completely shitting it. The safe is £2100 down. Prison awaits us let's be honest! I suggested just handing ourselves in to the police but we agreed we might aswell go 'all out' our next bet was something ridiculous like £200 each way on an outsider. As a lot of outsiders were winning this day. The favourite wins! Nothing is going our way. The safe 2 and a half grand down. While all this is going on we are having to serve customers in our bookies like nothing is happening and putting on a smile! We agree to stop betting on horses and revert back to football. There is £2500 left in the safe. The only option is to put it on an evens money football bet. There was a late kick off this day. I can't remember who they were playing but we bet on Doncaster rovers to win at 11/10. They won 2-1. The bet returned £5250. Safe is 5 grand down so we put 5 grand in and keep £125 each! Never been so close to prison all my life!!! When I look back it is a bit of a classic story. But very very scary!

 

Someone I know cashed a £10 slip that had mistakenly been screwed up by a punter and he got sacked, so yes a definite sacking awaited! Great story though!

I've got him with Suarez in a double 5/2. Fingers crossed.

Part of me wishes I'd put more on, but after 97 minutes of worrying he wouldn't, I'm glad I only risked a £10.

You gotta fancy Suarez to get at least one today. Good bet.

Went off at 14s. Made all the running, just caught in final furlong. 2nd but a lovely return for ew backers. Not sure why it was such long odds. Hope a few followed. Expect not though as it seems to be all about big football 9folds.

Followed and stuck £4.00 E/W (what was left in my account) returned £7.60 lol.

FUCK OFF COV!!! and Bet365 (Again :rolleyes:).

 

FFS!

 

I had a fiver on;

Juventus (Won)

Man City (Won)

Liverpool (Winning Drawing at H/T)

Real Madrid (To play tonight)

Coventry

 

Coventry were 1-0 I thought should I back the draw I can see Coventry conceading here, I go on Bet365 to back the draw, the have took the in play down on this game, their in-play pitch thing showing you what is happening in the game has frozen, I'm watching the scores on the Sky Sports website, 15 minutes later Coventry go 2-0 (83 mins) up I think great, quite happy bet365's website had frozen on that in-play game, Crawley hit back straight away 2-1 (84 mins), I think ok, maybe i'll see if bet365 have sorted the website out (Bearing in mind all the other games seem to be working fine for in-play), nope, still not prices, still nothing to bet on, the in-play pitch thing still seems to be frozen, 4 minutes later Crawley score a 2nd. Coventry 2-2 Crawley! FFS!

 

So pissed off with Coventry and yet again pissed off with Bet365's service.

 

Mind you as I type this Stoke equalise, Liverpool 2-2 Stoke.

How can you not find that funny?! All you do is criticise people on twitter and try to be funny on here. Get a life, do you remember when you used to cry and tell everyone on FT you were leaving because no one believed your transfer news? Just an attention seeker.
