£10 to £10,000

[Cardinal Sin]

So how many bets of say, 1.05 - would it take to climb to £10,000.

My rudimentary calculations come out around 140...

[spa]

I think I may come away from betfair and move to betfred.

Simple reason is betfair take a commision from your win! That's a fucking disgrace! They also fee you1.5% for depositing via paypal.

Betfred don't cover the bets your wanting to do though.

[spa]

Sod it, gonna tilt it. I'll move on after that.

£6.32 on Man City to win at half time (about £30 back) and £10 on Cardiff this weekend £7.50 back).

I know, but then the odds on hattricks are so low I have been betting on othe things

[spa]

there goes the man city bet lol

[bigv038]

£13.71 for me now, any ideas for tommorrow? I was hoping to catch no hat-tricks for Ghana at 4 and then another in the evening but the Ghana match is 1.01

[Barry Trotter]

lol @ spa... tilt mode already? This is a long term bet chap.... I'm sticking to my guns. Had a few over the last few days. Up to about £15 now. At shows in London so no bets today unless the wife puts them on... will let you know what I have. Well done those that are sticking to hat-tricks. It'll start getting interesng after about forty games or so.

It's the commision that's keeping me away. Ok, it's only 7p on a £1.35 win but what when you win like £800 on your last bet? Do you really want to give up like £90, just for winning? I would say over the tern of £10-£10,000 you would give about a grand in commision.

No thanks.

If Cardiff win i'll lump that one another win and so on, cause i'm nuts

[joe3_3]

You dont really seem to get what betfair is about, I think its best you did go to betfreds.

Bookies football games are 111% , whilst Betfair are around 101 % or about 103% after commission. No contest.

Thanks for a non twatish reply.

As you tend to get better prices on BetFair, even with the commission it is nearly always worth betting on BetFair. Not all the time, granted.

Birmingham vs Tottenham tomorrow. 1.02. Not the best price, but the others were 1.01 except Liverpool...
