Gazza_8 233 Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 I really need to get my arse into the bookies and put my first ever coupon on ! You do. It's almost as momentous as popping your cherry. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beattie 0 Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 If not more momentous. Not interested in the coupon tonight.. if anything I'll do a fiver on Weir for first goal tonight or something silly like that. Last night I was wishing I was rich and had loads of cash to gamble with.. Marin Cilic was 2 sets up and had a break in the third set against Murray last night and in running he was still 4/6.. Unbelievable.. big punters everywhere should of been lumping on that. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might put a wee bet on tonight, Whittaker and 1-0 Scotland 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might put a wee bet on tonight, Whittaker and 1-0 Scotland For the odds 4/6 I think you need to put �£6 on to win �£4. If the odds were 6/4 you'd need to put on �£4 to win �£6. I think that's how it works. Beattie and Craig are the losers, sorry men who can tell you for sure. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the basics which is all I'm interested in really. I do a simple 4 or 5 team football accumulator every week. That's my limit. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norris Cole 0 Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 I have a question for gambling types. Why do you get odds of 100/30? Surely it should be 10/3? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beattie 0 Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 In written form it is 10/3, but when speaking it's known as 'one hundred to thirty'.. it's odd, I know, but as far as I know it's just one of these things that there's no particular reason for. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beattie 0 Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 yeah that's the way i thought it would workJust the way Beattie said if you put alot of money on it that you would win I didn't mean it as in you NEED to put a lot on to win, but with odds of 4/6.. if you put a fiver on that you get �£8.33 back, which is a profit, obviously, of �£3.33.. which is hardly worth it, really. So aye, with odds of like 4/6 you're more inclined to put a bit more cash on it to make it worthwhile. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
