I had a multi with 17 legs and all won until my last leg Djokovic last night... Damn so close

What was he playing I wonder?

Multi that with Iceland making the top 8 2 weeks ago and you would have done ok I reckon.

Tennis the one sport where ridiculous value is available everyday and huge odds get up everyday. Its the one sport i win on.
To be ranked 700 and win a round at winby is not as good as it sounds though. Which guy was it ?

Don't know if it's true .... but

You reckon?? I know guys in the top 200 or so win every now and then, but 700+ and you win a match at Wimbledon?? I'm not sure it has ever been done before has it?

His name is Marcus Willis, self described as a bit of a fatty, I understand his earnings for this year so far was $356 (he earns $50k for the 1st round win).

I get what you mean, but this one was a pretty impressive story!

Oh yeah he beat berankis in straight sets. Then played federer and lost in three 'ok' sets.
He's a Brit, and yeah I'd never heard of him. Came through qualifying to get a shot. Your probably right mate, im just used to the rankings not meaning much in tennis betting. But in this case of 700+ it probably is quite rare.
Fed v Cilic tonight, could be a cracker.

Bloody hell, i know this person is obviously punting on a different level,  but at 22-6 i would have thought they'd let it ride. Canberra are one of the most likely teams to come from behind. And if they were ok with outlaying 100k for 6k profit, surely they'd sit tight. Terrible bet regardless.
If they had 20k on over 40.5 points in that game they would have got about $1.50 odds and pocketed 10k.

Numpty.

Hey Goonie, nah sorry mate nothing has stood out in the past day or so. Only thought Tomic would lose to Pouille (who was about 3.50) but didnt tip it.

All I'veI've got is - get on Wales to get past Portugal @ the Euro's

Yeah I think Wales will get past Portugal. You think in regular time?

Im my experience if you are winning at any bookie they will boot you out. I got booted from 4 different bookies all because I made a few bob. Based on that I just can't see how any long term gambler can actually be allowed to make money. Unless of course they bounce fro bookie to bookie.

As a result Im not surprised by stories like these. Anyone who is allowed to wager $100k with bookies regularly is only being able to do that cause they are losing and make bad decision. This person is case and point!!

True mate. 100k for 6k eh ?

Backed a guy in the tennis last night @ $6 in head to head called Soderlund, thought about posting it here as felt very confident. Held back as i have been posting nothing but hobblers. The guy wins.
It was a huge gap in ranking in this case, but it is a perfect example of the value in tennis betting if u follow it. But im talking be familiar with the challenger and ITF level players, which would bore the faark out of alot of people.
He is only 19, playing his 4th game of the year, 7th of career. Obviously loves the piss, has injuries or is a porn star being of Swedish heritage.
Ranked 611 he beat gimemo-traver whose about 170 and a seasoned player. He goes around tonight at about $4.50.
Exactly how i spotted Del potro and Cilic as unknowns way back when.

Anyway, bit long but love the tennis.

Anyone else think the 10+ Eels line was generous and get on it ?

Storm H2H 1.20
Eels +10.5 1.91
Sharks -4.5 1.91
=4.30

I'm not a big punter so I'm posting this, maybe because I have no idea or maybe I've found a fuck up. I think the later hence the reason I want to get on.

Broncs line bet -12.5 (1.90) Margin 1-12 (3.00) Handicap +12.5 (1.03)

Seems a big discrepancy between 12 and 13 and worth a flutter on the 1-12

Looks like a fuck up to me. Check with another bookie and see what price they have up but either over the line or 1-12 margin is huge overs.


Edit: Is it still available? You could also easily back both results for a profit but I'd be careful doing that as chances are they'll cancel your bets.

Still available on Centrebet, Crown has line 1.85 & 1-12 3.20 so same but different

Panthers +11.5

This week's best bet


Cronulla vs Newcastle
Newcastle ( +21.5) @ 2.10

Brisbane Brokebacked me. Let's hope There's a Knight in shining armour to get us back in the black.

Taken a bath this weekend.

Relying on Tigers & Souffs to break even

EDIT: Thank you Mitch. That's close enough to even for the week.
