Hi
Thanks for that Suds but I believe that is called a rookie mistake 🙁

No returns from either the bet or the ticket last week

Warriors -10.5 to beat the Rockets @ 10-11 (Basketball) Won
CLE Cavaliers +1 to beat ATL Hawks @ 10-11 (Basketball)
Wales to have the highest scoring half @ 7-4 (Rugby Union)
4.45 Kempton Quick Draw @ 11-10
Honda Classic Chris Kirk to win @ 7-2 (Golf) Won
West Ham to Beat Nottngham Forest and both teams to score @ 10-3

On the plus side with RKays basketball bet and my golf bet winning had we backed them as singles we would have turned a small profit so it was not that bad a day. But we really need that third wager every week to get that all important return. Hope you all come back this weeeknd and thanks for playing. 🙂

Hi
It was a tough day at the office all round last night but I still have one bet running and it really has to be all in as I have used my +2 point option and the name of the game is to raise the stakes each time.
My running total is now +3.89 points which goes on a win double tonight on the following wagers which comes out at 1.27-1.  If this comes off it would take me to +8.62 which means I could then split the bet down again into two +4 point bets in the next round.
Bucks (-2) to beat the Nets in the 1st quarter @ 10-11
Nuggets to beat Rockets @ 4-25

If anyone wishes to join in or restart you just start with the usual 1 point bet. 🙂

Hi
I will update the thread later when I have more time but this is an open question I need an assist with.?
Basketball is a new sport for me and I am still struggling with the home and away listings. Last night the Celtics game was listed everywhere as being a home fixture but was played at Madison Square Gardens.?
Now although I did not take the bet on, with the Celtics having a 24-7 home record it was on my list.
How do the listings work and are they subject to late changes… Help.?

Hi
It looks like RKay has thrown the gaunlet down tonight so its all or nothing. 🙂 I will go with the following two wagers both at 2.04 points.
Bet 1 CHA Hornets (-2.5) to beat the DET Pistons in the 1st Quarter @ 10-11
Bet 2 NO Pelicans v ORL Magic under 58 points 1st Quarter @ 10-11
We appear to be singing from the same hymn sheet with one of the bet options. Let’s once again hope one of us gets through to the next round as it is starting to get interesting.
The next round has to be table stakes (all or nothing) or a three point minimum bet. 🙁 🙂

[Mike]

Hi RKay
It would appear you were spot on, thanks for that. 🙂 It all gets a bit busy when I have more than three threads on the go at any one time. 🙁
This actually puts us neck and neck as we currently stand as listed below.
RKay +5.06 points.
Moi +5.08 points

[Mike]

Hi
Just a quick update and I will check in with RKay later but this is how I believe it now stands
RKay +5.06 points.
Bet 1 : 2.65 points on GSW (-2.5) vs MIN @ 10/11 Won
Bet 2 : 2 points on the double DAL (-4) vs LAL @ 10/11
POR (-9.5) vs HOU @ 10/11 Lost
Moi +3.65 points
Bet 1 1.57 points on over 55 points 1st Quarter Chicago Bulls v Washington Wizards @ 10-11 Lost
Bet 2 1.91 points on Cavaliers (-6) to beat Raptors at 10-11 Won

[Mike]

Hi
My Bet 1 wager tonight will be all 1.57 points on over 55 1st quarter points @ 10-11 in the
Chicago Bulls v Washington Wizards game.

[Mike]

Hi
Itstimetomoveon managed to grab seventh place but Tonys Pet fluffed his jumping and trailed in thirteenth, but we still turned a +2 point profit on the day.  🙂
This leaves us +6 points up this month with only two days to go. This means with nothing on the cards for tomorrow we are guaranteed another profitable month.  🙂

[Mike]

Hi RKay
That’s a bold move, 🙂
You can place bets up to half an hour before the game especailly useful in basketball as I have noticed the odds can be a bit limited early doors and the full options do not appear until quite late in some of the games. This is especially useful for me on days like today as I have only just got in myself. 🙁
I will update my bet 1 before 9pm looks like it’s going to be an interesting night. 🙂

[Mike]

Hi
We are over at Naas today in the 4.10 and are going with the following two options
Tonys Pet 66-1
Itstimetoveon 66-1
But we are taking both of these on at 30-1 for 10 places.

Hi
RKay‘s Celtics wager came in and the Grizzlies won so both of our bets took another step forward last night but obviously due to my fluffed first bet I am a point down on RKay. Therefore I am thinking although we are both now in a postition to split our bets it would only be fair to let RKay also start a second 1 point bet off alongside his original wager.
So the state of play at present would now be.
RKay Bet 1 +3.65
RKay Bet 2 +1.00
Mike Bet 1 +1.57
Mike Bet 2 +1.91
RKay has not split any bets so can still split his original bet using any amount 1 point or more. I have already used the 1 point option so would have to use 2 points or more if I wish to split but do not have that luxury at present. 🙁
My next bet will be as stated last night and is 1.91 points (from bet 2) on the the Cavaliers -6 @ 10-11 to beat the Raptors.

[Mike]

Hi
I have been waiting for a price on tomorrows Cavaliers game to do my remaining 1 point in a home game double with the Grizzlies but cannot get any odds.
This means I will have to go with the Grizzlies -2.5 @ 10-11 against the Nuggets tonight with a view to a follow up bet on the Cavaliers when the odds are announced tomorrow.

[Mike]

Hi RKay
Your running total is now +1.91 which now goes on tonights Celtics (-1.5) to beat 76ers at 10/11.
After my win double from the following bet from last night
NY Knicks v WAS Wizards over 57.5 points 1st Quarter @ 20-23
MIA Heat v MIL Bucks over 56.5 points 1st Quarter @ 10-11
I currently stand on+ 2.57 points and will go for 1.57 points on the following wager
Orlando Magic v Indiana Pacers under 59.5 points Ist Quarter also @ 10-11

Lets hope one of us comes out unscathed…lol.  🙂

Hi
It’s apologies all round as I made a boo boo on the CLE Cavaliers bet, being the first side mentioned on bet365 I had assumed they were the home team.
They were not and they got thumped, entirely my fault I should have checked the NBA website.
On the plus side we got all three 1st quarter scores in so have got a bet started and will post the follow up basketball bet tonight. 🙂
For reference purposes NBA website, Flashscore website etc all list the home team first. Bet365 put the away team first. 🤔😢

I have included Suds and RKay’s bets from the Reply To: Beat The Lotto (£) thread from yesterday to make amends for the slip up and will update the thread tonight as promised.

Wales to have the highest scoring half @ 7-4 (Rugby Union) Suds

Warriors -10.5 to beat the Rockets @ 10-11 (Basketball) Rkay

[Mike]

Hi
My apologies for this mornings basketball wager on the CLE Cavaliers as it was taken on the premise that they were the home team. There home record is 25-6 and I had assumed that as they were the team first listed on bet365 they were the home team. They were in fact playing away and got thumped. I should have checked but being a basketball novice made a silly error.
Just for future reference NBA website, Flashscore website etc all list Home team on top. Bet365 put away team on top. 😕

To make amends to Suds and RKay although I cannot change the rules and add another wager in I have transferred there preferred bets over to the Reply To: Joe’s dream punt 🙂 thread and placed an equivelant five fold on the remaining wagers.
