Probably a good bet, traditionally the odds on England winning, with the British bookmakers, are shorter than what they should be due to the home support

Also NEVER bet money you can't live without

Just had a bet on the Derby because the Tote were offering to double the SP if Camelot won by four lengths or more. So I got odds of 5/4. Only placed a £10 bet, so not enough to retire on yet.

I'll bet on the England game later, try and get some more money.

Having said that there is such a thing as beginners luck. ;)

The first time I went greyhound racing I didn't have a clue what I was doing but won nearly £150... a lot of money to an apprentice electrician in 1977;)

I've only been once since... all I got was very wet and a large chunk of the £150 returned to the tote. :(

Re: Sports Betting
 
I had a few bets on the England game and at half time I was down (about £1) but due to the Bet365 ad coming up, I had bets on few different correct scores, including the winning score. Overall winning, about £1.50.

Should probably thank this thread for telling me about the Netherlands and Northern Ireland game. Because it was mentioned I had a look through the form and have now won my over 2.5goals bet

Mad Max 04-06-2012 19:57

Re: Sports Betting
 
I sometimes put on the "penalty" bet, the way it works is this, say, you put a total of £10 on, the way i do it is £5 for a pen to be missed and £5 for a pen to be scored, the odds can be quite good depending on which teams are playing of course, you often get 12/1 for a pen missed and about 7/2 for a scored pen, the games need to be on TV, on a couple of ocassions i've had both up and came away with a tidy sum, its just a bit of fun, i never bet "serious" money.
