[Fulham Broadway 16,845]

Well done Ollie and WHS.

Left it alone today, had a lump on us to beat the Cechs over 90 mins, more chance of Rafa going to Weight Watchers

[Pacquiao 1,834]

had a fiver on Ronaldo to score both halves @ 14/1 last night i was also going to do the same bet for Bale on Monday night but changed my mind!!!

[Ollie 4,400]

What should i do? It's going well, the QPR game was a great hit, chuffed with that as everyone though i was mad. Do i cash in or do i go for it?

Wow that is a tough one. I can't see it winning. But cashing in for just 10 percent of the possible winnings isn't a great deal. Bale is on too hot a form atm so i am pretty confident arsenal won't win it. BUT cashing in for 10 percent with 2 matches to go and city winning being pretty much a dead cert, so for me, THERE IS NO WAY I WOULD CASH THAT IN. EVEN THOUGH I THINK IT IS GONNA LOSE.

Although the worst result for us tommorrow is arsenal winning, so you never know.

I would kick myself more if i cashed it in and it happenned than if i didn't and it lost.

Who is the good soul who will explain how betting works?

[Ollie 4,400]

Ok i've decided to go for it but i've also done a £10 bet on the NL Derby to be a draw and City to beat Villa because i really want Arsenal to lose. Also i have history of getting 1 wrong. If Arsenal win i'll probably be back here with the same question. Cash in £250 or go for £323 lol. A Tottenham win keeps me skint but also knocks Arsenal 5 behind us again. win win in a way.

I just have that feeling for Arsenal. tbh atm £323 means more to me than seeing us go 5 points clear of Arsenal so i'm a gooner tomorrow. DAMN!

I'll give it a go lol.

You have odds on given situations. For example Tottenham are 13/10 to beat arsenal. That means of you were to put 10 pounds on you would get back 23 (13 for them winning and 10 for the original stake).

The draw is 13/5. This means if you were to bet 5 pounds then if it is a draw you would get back 18 (13 for them winning and 5 pounds for your bet). If you had bet 10 pounds on that then you would get 36 pounds back (23 for the win and 10 which is what you bet).

Arsenal winning is 11/5. So if you bet 5, you get back 16.

Sometimes they are odds on, which would be like 4/5. So if you bet 5 pounds you would get 9 pounds back.

When United went 3-0 up yesterday. You could have bet on United winning but you would have gotten odds of like 1/1000. This means if you put on a 1000 pounds you would get 1001 pounds back. Those type of odds are known as "odds on".

Acummalators combine the odds. So as a a bit of fun Imay pick 6 games results . If they all win I would get a lot of money for a small bet. I. E. Look at ollies bet . He picked 5 results and bet 10 pounds and he can win 330.

That's the basics. Sorry if you already knew that.
