Trying to gamble up to a season ticket.....

[orangupingu_mcfc]

My lay bet on Uruguay to beat Holland came off so I'm now up £23.50 after Betfair fees.

@MCFCinUSA - I saw a couple of those books on Amazon and thought they looked like the sort of things I should be looking at so I think I'll get a couple.

I might do a few more lay bets to bump up my float. What sort of float should I start with whilst I'm getting used to it?

Any sites that are beginner friendly so I can play with no money involved for now for a bit of practice?

Cheers :D

888 have a 40 seat $1 sit and go that will get you planty of practice of tournament play without costing too much (well it is actually 88cents and a 8 cent
rake)

Thanks for that, I'll check it out after The Apprentice is finished. Hopefully it will go well :)

there you go, that's a great suggestion for a start.

one thing I would say, don't bother playing for play money (the prats on those things play like jerks for a start and you won't learn anything except how bloody awful and stupid that stuff all is) just go in and get yourself seated with a very small account and play for something real, whether it's 10 pence or a quid. Don't play differently because of the stakes, but always play to win and study everything.

equally don't think you can go down the pub and play in their fun tournaments either (if they're for house cash) to gain much needed experience; those players are also not up to it and you won't get much of a feel for things when real cash is involved and people you're playing against aren't pissed out of their heads or trying to impress their friends/win vendettas.

(I used to bet my girlfriend at the time who liked playing poker for fun for all sorts of things, massages being one of them, and I think with only one exception she'd last longer than me in the pub tournaments and so win our side bets with alarming regularity... you have to remember in certain situations to dumb your game down, but now this is getting a bit advanced until you've got a little experience under your belt and understand the basics)

*** actually something that might help is if you can start up with a couple of other players from here or elsewhere, and you can all kibitz on how you're doing and share your learning experiences. Getting feedback from better players you encounter also helps; remember, you never know it all and we're always learning - often from our friends and more so from our biggest failures ***

I'll enter that 888 tourney and let you know how I get on. Thanks everyone for the advice, hopefully I can do it justice.

I don't know, i want to know what lay is first. I think England have more chance of winning if that helps?

Go on Betfair and find the game.

Let's say you are going to lay England to win.

Choose this option (usually the pink box) and then enter your stake.

The money that you stand to win is the amount you type into the box - you will win if either Spain win or the game ends in a draw.

The money that you stand to lose is the amount shown in the right of the box. You must have this amount in your account. You will lose this amount if England win, hence you've lost your bet.

With laying bets, you stand to lose quite a bit more as you're, in effect, acting as the bookie.

For example, for me to win £23.50 on my Uruguay bet, I had to risk £40.

Hopefully that was clear :)

why not just open an account with ladbrokes casino, place £25 and get £25 for free, simples, no gamble. Then obviously use the funds to carry on betting on football.
