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

[orangupingu_mcfc]

Ok - Bet 6:

I lay'd Oil Strike in the 15:40

Shat myself as he was backed to 2-1 favourite (I laid him at 3.6!) but luckily he ran like Gaz Barry.

I'm now up to £46.80 but will leave it there for the day as I am emotionally ruined.

Oh fuck it, just lumped on Lancashire T20 at 1.9

Will take me to £90 or lose everything. I don't have the patience for a pro gambler but it was only £25.

That was £25 you could have put towards your ST!

I used to do a bit of matched betting using the free offers bookies give you but I stopped when my bank blocked my bank account because they thought a 20 year old making loads of transactions to bookies was possibly fraudulent. Hoping to start again soon.

i dont understand all that bollocks, i just put numbers on and hope its a winner:)

and that's probably why you're not a pro gambler my man

;o)

(and here's the link once again for a bit of a laugh: <a class="postlink" href="http://www.okcupid.com/tests/the-professional-gambler-aptitude-test" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.okcupid.com/tests/the-profes ... itude-test</a> as this sort of subject keeps on coming up in these sorts of threads, and there's really no reason for anyone to throw their money away unless they couldn't care less about it and/or enjoy losing)

i'm not a pro mate you are right, i went back in to play on 0 and lost 120 in the same mins it took me t win the 600, happy with what i won so i did one and went back to work.

Yeah but I have already bought my SC and came home from work early and £25 won't change my life (neither will 600 but its fun to see if I can get up to it - I'd put it towards a champs league away)

I got the bull.

ehehe, you've an inclination for 'risk-loving' behaviour in this case, but you can easily counter that as you become even more aware of value and risk management, and enforce your self-discipline.

if you also pick your games correctly you'll find the going a lot easier too.

If my T20 has finished in a win, I'll go with that. What odds?

No but loads of £25 wasted = big money over the years (not that I can talk, I'm on a gambling thread and I waste money left, right and centre!)

Haha, any tips then on picking?
