What gets me is stupid cunts that ring over €1000 bets on 1/100 shots. Although the nutjobs that place bets like that in the first place are worse.
This is a proper betting ticket
Who does these bets? And with Powers instead of Betfair? They’d probably get 1/25 or 1/33 on Betfair for the same thing. :lol:
No takers?
I’d expect SS to get this.
Is it Paddy Powers?
FFS, I told you already it was a proper bookmakers ticket
I missed the “proper” part.
Anyone here any good with precentages relating to betting?
I’m reading a piece here about antepost tournament betting with the FA Cup as an example. The author says that at the last 32 stage (5 ties to win to win tournament) a team that is offered at 12/1 outright is in other words on average 4/6 to win each round. Likewise at the quarter-final stage (3 ties to win to win tournament) a team that is offered at 9/4 is actually on average a 1/2 shot for each round. Anyone know how to work this out?
Hello Dunph. Thanks for your question.
4/6 odds translates as probability of 60% or 6/10. (6 of the outcomes are odds for of the possible 10 outcomes).
If the chances of winning one game is 6/10 then the chances of winning two games is (6/10)*(6/10) and so on.
So 6 to the power of 5 divided by 10 to the power of 5 is your overall probability which is 7,776 out of 100,000. That gives you a probability of one in thirteen so the odds are 12/1.
Cheers Rocko. I’m going to try to get my head around this later…
For 2 bonus stars complete the phrase on a bookies ticket I just found:
SS, any ideas?

What a miserable shower of cunts
Gibraltar-based Betfred.com will not pay out £823,000 in winnings to relatives of horse trainer Barney Curley, despite its UK betting shops paying out on bets placed as part of a £4m four-horse betting coup by Curley last May, according to the Racing Post. Betfred.com’s lawyers on 1 June informed the five account holders, four of whom were related to Curley, that their £823,000 profit would not be paid out under the company’s rule 10, which states: “Any person or group of persons acting in an attempt to defraud Betfred.com will have their bets voided.”
Betfred.com’s decision was reached despite the British Horseracing Association (BHA) concluding no rules of racing had been breached, and followed a letter dated 27 May from the Gibraltar Regulatory Authority (GRA) which accused Curley of deception, the account holders of fraud and the BHA of misapplying its own rules. Andrew Montague, a Northern Ireland solicitor acting for the claimants, said they would be applying to the Supreme Court of Gibraltar for a judicial review of the GRA’s handling of the case: “The investigation by the GRA is flawed and has been conducted from the outset in a biased way and has chosen to ignore the findings of both the BHA and Ibas[Independent Betting Adjudication Service]”, said Montague. New Tote owner Betfred and the GRA declined to comment.
Rocko has cleared that one up nicely. Do you know the quick way of settling a Lucky 15, mate? Without the ‘Genii’ obviously.
Betfred are welching cunts.
Enlighten me on your lucky 15 tip SS?
Imagine the exact moment when Barney heard of what was happening… :huh: 
:guns:
For four winners, add two points to each winner multiply them and take away one.
All speculation welcomed.
Sports media figure cons bookmaker’s assistant out of €3,000 betting credit
Sunday June 12 2011
A sports media figure caused the sacking of a young woman working in a bookmaker’s shop in Dublin after he conned her into giving him credit on nearly €3,000 worth of bets, it has been learned.
The man, who did not return calls from the Sunday Independent last week, started appearing on a regular basis at the bookmakers around January last at about the same time the young woman began working in the shop. She had previously worked in a bookmakers in the south west and it was her first time living in Dublin.
He chatted to her and other staff and became familiar with them, telling one male member of staff of affairs he claimed he had been conducting with female television personalities.
According to friends he appeared in the bookmakers on Easter Tuesday last and told the young woman he was waiting for a cheque to clear in a nearby bank and asked for credit on a bet. He left but went nowhere near the local bank he had mentioned.
According to local people, he crossed the road to a pub where he drank pints of lager and lime and watched the races on television before returning to the bookies on three occasions to get more bets on credit.
By 3.40pm – 20 minutes before banks close – he had run up close to €3,000 in lost bets. At that stage the young woman realised what was happening and called her supervisor.
She was dismissed days later for “breach of procedure”. No criminal offence was committed as betting is a commercial contract and the gardai are not involved. The bookmaking company is not instituting proceedings against him.
A senior source in the bookmaker company confirmed to the Sunday Independent last week that the incident had happened.
He said: “It was a despicable thing in our view. We’re so sorry for the girl.”
Colleagues of the girl said they were “terribly sorry” that the young woman was dismissed but there were strict rules on giving credit on bets. It was a clear “breach of procedure” but it was “very difficult for us”. He added: "She is a fine young person. It was her first time up from the country and she was very happy, looking forward to living in the big city. She is a great girl.
She was great with customers and very good at her job. She was devastated."
Associates of the presenter say he had a history of gambling debts and bouncing cheques in pubs after building up a rapport with staff.
Two recent mobile phone numbers used by him were out of service and a call to a third went to voicemail.

“a sports media figure” would indicate he’s not a journalist, so we’re looking at a pundit?
The Dunph?
William Hill claimed on Sky on sat night that the laid Taylors Sky 60,000 to 30,00 in a hig street shop on sat evening. Yeah right.
