Guest Stevie Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 As a side not you know when Ireland are playing, and winning against a good European side away, I have no explanation for why, but I feel like it's a victory for us and the Premiership, shame the other home nations didn't feel the same for England. Caleb Folan was tremendous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Stevie Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 I'll start from scratch anyways with my midweek bet placed it yesterday with ladbrokes.Portugal @ 2/5 Pending Argentina @ evens Pending Brazil @ 1/3 Pending Russia @ 8/11 Pending Stake £20 Bulgaria was a great result for us, can't say i'd have backed any irishman to get first goal, i thought we were in for a battering tbh, draw was fantastic though... pity we didn't beat italy away that time soo close Italy are shite you'll have no reason to fear them at home. A 1-0 could be on for you. Bulgaria aren't all that neither, Radostin Kishishev oh dear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Stevie Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 Right I've started my attempt. £10 on England -2 tonight 8/11 Reason - They'd beat their full international side never mind the current u21 crop, it should be nearer 6-0 than 1-0, if their form is anything to go by. £10 on Jo'Burg 515 Folkestone 4/5 Reason - The class horse in the race with Seb Sanders on board, and largely novice jockeys against him, is top weight but he should be far far too good for the rest of this field. Should win by at least 5 length. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Onion 0 Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 I'll have a go at this as well. Royal Ascot next week so some cracking racing to get stuck into. And lose money on probably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The score was 7-0 won £7.27 on that bet, but the horse lost. So my running total is £17.27. I think the rule for this tournament should be you're alive till you balance is under £2. Then you're out till someone wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
