Errr, you said the odds were good and you wasn't sure whether to bet on Arsenal or not, maybe you're thinking of a conversation with someone else.

I actually bet on Arsenal. Draw no bet though.

I bet on a draw but in a multiple that lost.

I was going to put down on a draw no bet at 2/1 but took the risk, and it didn't pay off.

1. Hulk 1st goalscorer 4/1 - Lost a tenner
2. James Rodriguez anytime goalscorer 11/5 - Lost a tenner
3.Porto win 4/6 - Won £8
4.Anelka anytime anytime goalscorer 4/6 - Lost £12
5.Pato 1st goalscorer 12/1 - won £120
6.Kerzhakov anytime goalscorer 8/5 - Lost a tenner

Up £86 halfway through the games thanks to Pato.

Got my money back on Arsenal and lost the accumulator because of Barcelona.

Stuck my £5 on Man Utd, City, Madrid and Scotland (rugby) to win = 17.19.

Scotland already won so just the football to go.

Does anyone know what's going on with Xherdan Shaqiri? No goalscorer odds for him on Bet365.

No odds for him on a few other sites too, must be injured?

Oh, he's suspended for two games.

Just put an accumulator on for tomorrow too.

FC Copenhagen @ 8/13
Besiktas @ 8/13
Lazio @ 2/5
PSG @ 1/3
PSV @ 4/11
Rubin Kazan @ 1/2
Atletico Madrid @ 2/5

Addicted?

I'm not at home now, I'm at my mums so I have nothing to do but bet. It's quite tragic really.

Barcelona of all teams helped to fuck up my accumulator

...and Valencia but that's not the point

Same 2 fucked up mine.

I was fuming at the late equaliser because I forgot I had Valencia aswell.

I left Barcelona and Valencia out of mine.

Knew betting was a bad idea

Got a tenner on Lyon tonight at 9/4. They're away to Ajax though.

Then City, United, Real Madrid and Inter 4 fold at 4/1 with another tenner on. Hate betting on my own team as well, bet United draw tonight now

I still don't really understand betting odds and that. Is it really worth getting into? Doesn't the house always win in the end?

Odds are easy to understand. Just remember that if the number on the right is your stake, the number on the left is what you'll get on top of it. It stays in that proportion to whatever you bet.

So say you bet on Liverpool to win at 4/11.. If you put £11 you get your £11 back + £4.

Gone for a bit of a dodgy bet tonight.
Villarreal - Bayern
Dinamo - Madrid
Inter - Trabz
Benfica - Man Utd
Man City - Napoli
Lille - CSKA draw
Basel - Otelul
Ajax - Lyon

Most should win but Utd, Lyon, Bayern and the draw are risks I wouldn't normally take. Got a feeling Inter will only draw as well but it's a hope bet.

Done exactly the same, except picked Lille to beat CSKA.

How do you read decimal odds?

Easily, decimal odds >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> fractions by a country mile.

Divide the fractions and add 1 to get decimals.

Usually you can change the settings to fractional, that's how I read them

Villarreal look bigggggg at 3/1 at home, even if it's against Bayern. Gonna have a pop.

Put Mario Gomez to score. Man is on fire.

What the fuck?

Neither of them is better.. they both tell you the same thing.

Better for me, probably because I've used them for years. I can read both but first thing I do when I sign up is change to decimal.

10 pound on Kun to score first at 4/1, I'll put it down once I see the teams and he's starting.

Don't be a cunt.
