The fictitious bets thread

Mystery_Plum · Post by **Mystery_Plum** » Sat Feb 25, 2012 11:55 am

The thread title explains it all really. The hot topic of the last week or so has been about people placing bets on football matches and horse-races, usually for large sums of cash, and then not having the presence of mind to produce any proof.

Rather than clutter up the forum and divert other threads with this sort of stuff I thought it would be nice to make a new thread so we can keep these inane and spurious claims all in one place.

So with it being a Saturday why not join in and post ludicrous details of your illegitimate wagers? Maybe you've lumped £20k on this evening's Man City / Blackburn game, or popped into your local bookies after your champagne breakfast for a grand or two on Sunday's cup game? Maybe you were just sat in the back of your limo and a chance conversation with your driver (about those fucking annoying bet365 adverts with Ray Winstone) has just moved you enough to have a £5000 flutter on a couple of horses?

Please add whatever fictitious bets you intend to place today so we can all share the joy and sunshine this sort of thing brings into our lives. Even better, why not wait until the match or race has finished and the result known before entertaining us all with the finer details of how much you won?

But remember - don't spoil this thread by posting any evidence whatsoever of your bets. Keep it sensible please. Anyone thinking of posting screencaps or photos of their bets as proof that they actually exist, and are not in fact entirely fabricated should move along. This thread is not for you.

Ready? Go!

i'm just off out for a lunchtime drink with tom cruise and ronnie corbett, i think we'll only be having shorts but anyway when i get back i'll be doing the following:

a 3-3 correct score football treble , only a small one mind , no more than 5k.

i'll post my selections up later after the games have all finished.

I'm considering betting heavily on Liverpool to win by 2 clear goals against Cardiff tomorrow. Actually I have no intention of placing any bet on the game but if they achieve that feat I will declare that having carefully considered the wager I indeed stuck a HUGE bet on. If they fail i'll just say that I thought better of it in the end.

I'll be betting on a 0-0 draw on a football match this afternoon. Don't know which one yet, it will probably be the first one that comes out of Tim Gudgeon's mouth on Final Score.

Get on Cardiff to lift the trophy at 9/2.

My mate once bet me £5 that I couldn't throw an electric kettle over a pub. Another time we were speculating whether a jumbo jet could take off on a treadmill or not. If that feat ever gets accomplished, he owes me £10.

I've just put an unspecified sum of money on an unidentified Championship match this very afternoon. Tune in this evening when I will not be providing any details or proof.

How do you upload pics of bets just using an iPhone?

I've tryed it before to upload a photo from my iPhone, it just don't work. This was before the new layout.

my first leg is up had crewe and wimbledon for a 3-3 draw.

bit of a nailbiter with wimbledon getting a stoppage time third to keep my 5k treble going.

god i love this fantasy betting game.

That's some great fantasy betting there, no-one can argue with that.

And you've even backed it up by failing to produce any evidence that this bet was even made in the first place.

You've done this great forum proud today!

*salutes*

I suggest tomorrow you lump the fuck out of the Arsenal / Spurs game and then post all about it 2 days after the final whistle.

I'm looking forward to hearing how much you won. Just type it up in this thread; that's all the evidence you need!
