vBetting - am I being a spangle? :)

[Hibs On Tour]

Quick question - am I being a spangle? Are the odds in the vBookie thingy worked out on the basis that you *don't* get your stake back for a winning bet? Just wondering likes as without that why would anyone ever put anything on an odds-on bet? I had 100000 on a 4/9 shot the other day and it came in - would have expected to get the 100000 back plus 4/9 of that. Or am I missing something? :greengrin

I would say you're missing something :greengrin

You'll be talking about Reading v Manchester United. If you click on one of the teams you'll see that your wager of 100,000 is in one column and in the other column your winnings read 44,444 so your return would be 144,444.

I wish I didn't even know what a bloomin' vbutton was :-(

I would defo be higher up any league table if I hadnt bothered!

BUT... I also had 41664 on Sunderland v QPR being a draw at 11/5 so I should have got 41664 + 91660 back from that too. So I would have expected my total to now be 144444 + 133324 = 277768. I'm down as only having 149444 however so it appears that something has gone breasts skyward? It looks like I've only had 5000 credited for the Sunderland v QPR game instead of the 133324 I should have... Petrie! :confused:

Bump. So that the vBookie [whoever that may be] can perhaps have a wee look at this for me? :wink: :greengrin

I bet all 65000 on Hibs in the derby is there a lag between paying out ? Still got 0 vbuttons....

Spangle is such an under-used word IMO. For those of us that can remember them, were they not always the first thing that you tried to swap away from your selection box? The Old English ones were like door handles or toggles from a duffle coat.

There was a lag this time. Due to me celebrating :greengrin
Now settled.

I'm not a betting man so can I just trade my vButtons in for a half season ticket. :greengrin

V Buttons have been a godsend to me..............

....they prove I have to be the world's worst football punter! :rolleyes:

[Waxy]

I've won a few and lost a few.
I'm happy to stick with the amount of vbuttons i have now though.

:agree: Boiled sweet which you could only eat through prolonged sucking until eventually you created a hole in the middle of it with an edge like the blade on a stanley knife.
