What does 3/3 mean?

That’s well worth a punt alright. Georgia will still feel they have an outside chance of qualifying of course. If they score a bonus point win against Namibia then they go into the France game knowing that a win there puts them into second spot. Their problem looks to be scoring tries because they’ve had 2 excellent performances so far but they haven’t converted their dominance into points often enough.

Don’t see that being a problem against Namibia though.

georgia destroy the handicap

Raging I didn’t see that. Superb price that was. Great spot raven.

he has given 3 sure things all have won

he has given 24 regular bets-17 won -although the last 2 havent

I just noticed I have a twenty euro freebet with paddypower so anyone else with an account with them might want to check their accounts. How are these things given out anyway? Is it a random selection or what?

Nowt there for me anyway. No idea why they’re given out. Flano?

I’ll find out tomorrow. It could be any number of things.

Yeah that was a cracking bet. I meant to do it too but unbelievably it slipped my mind.

While not being a hyperknowledgeable fan of the egg-chasing, I know one or two things. A) Ireland are shit B)England are shit. Tonga have been pretty decent this world cup and still have a chance of qualifying for the ko stages. So Tonga +21 @evensish seems like a fairly nice bet to me. I’ve doubled this with Scotland +5 vItaly also @evensish. Not the highest odds double ever but I likes it. Although no bet I’ve ever posted here has won, that’s bound to change…

rocko, what’s your Bundesliga take for this weekend?

Just looking at the SPL there and Aberdeen 8/15 to beat Gretna at home is good value but even better I think is Caley Thistle to beat Falkirk at home at 6/5. In England Liverpool to win at Wigan at 8/13 is crying out to be backed.

I shall be ignoring Juhniallio’s recommendation given his tipping track record.

having successfully backed Chelsea -1 at 7/5 last night, I will be putting all the winnings on Real Madrid -1 at home to Real Betis at 4/5 tonight

Betis are indeed scheidt so I think you’re onto a winner there.

Didn’t Thomas doubt that hairy fellah(not Paul Hartley) until he saw the holes. I was on a bad run indeed band-aid, but that ended when those fine german fraulines saw off them nordic raiders in the semifinal of the women’s world cup last night.
From here on tis filthy free lucre for me, and plenty of it.

By the way. I think this is the first time I’ve ever looked at the site without Flano being online. He hasn’t pulled a Bestie, has he?

Sorry Juhniallio, I should never have doubted your betting prowess. That said betting on women’s football possibly shows how desperate things had become.

I must admit to being worried about Flano too. He hasn’t been on since about 3pm.

We’ve all had our ups and down within the world of wager Bandage, and Rock expressed those same sentiments to me over the phone not so long ago. I assure you had you seen the 11-0 demolition of the Argies, you would have been on those german ladies faster than a fat man on the last slice of Pizza.

that had to be my jammiest winning bet in a long time. Betis hit the woodwork 3 times and missed 2 other sitters.

Madrid did not convince me at all - thought they missed RVN up front. Saviola was terrible. Robben was excellent when he came on

Yeah, Robben was super alright.

Seeing as both you and Juhniallio had Madrid -1 I was willing Betis to score at the end!

Aside from their efforts off the woodwork that chance the guy missed straight after Madrid got their second was criminal.

I had under 2.5 goals at 6/5 in the Madrid game last night; the bicycle clips were on for the last few minutes, especially as I’d unsuccesfully backed Shels earlier. The old man was a bit bemused in the pub to say the least.
