  1. Bashams are simply being paid not to do anything. The fact that the WWE have had nothing for them for ages made the fact that they actually signed contract extensions a few months back all the more crazy.Its a good thing they are sticking with them, as both (especially Doug) are superb workers.I heard that Doug paid for his own flight so he could appear in OVW, whilst Danny wasnt willing to pay.

  2. Got a betfair account? Then you might as well do their little quiz thing. 5 questions about upcoming games. Here is the first one:

     

     

    How may goals will be scored in the first game?

     

    0-1

    2-3

    4-5

    6-7

    8+

     

     

    Germany v Costa Rica is the opening game. Out of the last six World Cup openers, 4 have ended 1-0, and the other two have been 1-1 and 2-1.

     

     

    Openers are always tight, and people are questionning whether Germany are over-rated for this cup, so Im definately going for either 0-1 or 2-3. 2-3 seems like the best one to go for, just in case Costa sneak a goal. Ballack also isnt playing.

     

     

    Also been reading a lot of times that Poland to beat Ecuador @ 2.1 is great value, and that Poland should really be odds on.

     

    Another bet that seems to look good is Germany/Costa, Under 2.5 goals @ 2.2. 5 of the last 6 openers have been under. Germany without Ballack, and over-rated, seems to point to good value at 2.2

  3. Anyone doing the Betfair World Cup thingy? Havent read into it fully, but I think the gist of it is:- Open a new account, they chuck fictional cash into the account, you bet on world cup games, however gets the most profit gets a share of real cash.Think this could be a nice thing to do for this topic, where we put out bets and tips.

  4. What's an urinage

    It's a type of suplex. It's what the Rock Bottom/Book End are, except they've been personalised a bit.
    They called the Rock Bottom a urinage, but can someone confirm whether that is the actual move a urinage is? Isnt the urinage meant to be the spinning version of the Rock Botton. Takeshi Morishima has added the move to his repitoire in the last year, and his version has the spin. Hiroshi Hase also made it famous, did he not? And his version (the original?) had the spinning element, too.
  5. These next manager markets are shite. Bookies make a shit load. Any rumour in the paper makes people chuck a load of money on that manager. Every time the rumour is absolute bollox.Just looked on Betfair. Over 4 million has been punted on the next Newcastle market. Only a mill of that was on Roeder, and most of it at really poor odds."Done deals", "My friends best mate works at Newcastle", "X was seen looking for a house", "In The Mirror it said..."....all of it shit.

  6. Im going against Wigan tonight. Going to lay them at 2.28. Smells like a draw, this game. Wigan are on the downward spiral, and have a few key defenders missing. Villa arent exactly a great side, but I fancy them to pick up at least a draw here.

  7. Even though reading what youve won after the event has happened is nice, this topic would be much better off if you post your selections beforehand. That way some other people might be able to make a little bit of cash. Also helps to point out some good value bets!

  8. Arsenal are crazy odds to beat Man Utd today. Man Utd are just over evens for a win. Am tempted to lay them at such a short price.A lay of Boro, who have said they are going to be resting players, may also be a choice of mine.

  9. Have many accs today that got screwed over by either Watford or Wolves, JFFC? Im guessing there were quite a few who included them.Going for a double tommorow, with Man Utd and Bolton, at around 2/1. We all know what Man Utd should do tommorow ( :sneaky: ), and Im banking on Boro looking past this game and to their game on Thursday. They also played 90 mins a few days ago, which should help.

  10. Even though this thread is turning a bit gay, I have a question about the acc.Firstly, no betting is fool proof, otherwise every bugger would do it with much higher stakes. If its also "fool proof", why are you only risking less than 20 quid on it? If it can never lose, as you say, you might as well chuck a hundred on it, no?

    This weekend, I scored 7/10

    Hardly impressive, to be honest. You were picking all the odds on favourates, which had tiny odds. Also, 6 out of 10 to break even? Cant see that, especially if they are all the VERY short odds favourates. Maybe JFFC can add his thoughts to this. Also, as SaP said, there are bound to be at least a few draws (10 down to 8), and also maybe one or two upsets (8 down to 7 or 6).
  11. Thats assuming you win all the time when betting, which doesnt happen. So the flipside to your statement is "You bet small, you lose small. You bet big, you lose big". Just like you sticking a tenner on that crazy 10-fold Premiership acc.Trying to claim that betting big is much better because "theres so much more to be had" is a ridiculous statement, IMO. Youre trying to put over that theres no difference between betting big and betting small, only that betting big has much more to gain. You failed to mention the fact that bets lose, therefore you lose miles more.
