I've been doing this bet for weeks and weeks and still can't work out how you get those returns for just 12 games.

What's the stake? Are you shying away from the ones that are around 1/4 or 1/3 shots and going for supposedly less likely ones?

10 got me 41 quid today, after four postponements took me down to just a six fold.

Well done as well, obviously.

£20 stake, 12 games at odds anywhere between 2/9 to 4/9, 4/11 and 8/15. Some odds are overly generous for at least 2 goals in a game. Some weeks the odds are terrible though.

Cheers mate.

Easy to be put off by the 'longer' odds - nowt worse than chasing it and getting left with one game that you had a doubt over in the first place.

Its no often you're miles away with this bet, aye of course you get 0-0s and 1-0s but I'm usually only 2-3 goals off, Very often its very close. There was only 2 games in English championship, plus leagues 1 and 2 and the conference with under 2 goals yesterday . The Cardiff and Sheffield Wednesday matches.

Anyone had a situation where their betting account has gone into negative?

This happened today on Hills to me because I had a big single bet which won on 2 bookings each team today so won £225 and then I had a number of other smaller bets on booking trebles which totaled £35. The booking trebles were losing bets but Hills for some reason voided these bets and returned the money to me. I withdrew the total balance of £260 earlier today so I was sitting at £0.

Just checked back in and the account is now sitting at -£35 so they have obviously realised they mistakenly voided the bet trebles and that they should have been losers. Will I have to pay 35 quid back in before I can start betting or do you think they might just reset my balance at zero If I ask nicely/threaten to leave?

Give it a couple of days mate. It will hopefully reset.

I’ve had it happen (admittedly maybe not with hills) loads of times and can only once remember it not being reset within a day or two.

Cheers bud, just read this and went into check and they've reset it to zero so all good!

Nice one - now go give them another bashing and stick their account in the minus 👍

Anyone fancy Darvel to cause an upset tonight? The sheep are poor but are they poor enough to lose this?

Nope. Would rather be on Aberdeen -3.

Lot on money on Darvel, unsurprisingly. I got them at 28/1 on Skybet after the hearts game, they're now 12s.

**~~JamesHFC~~** · 23-01-2023 06:58 PM

£50 on Kenny Tete to commit 2 or more fouls tonight at EVS.

***cabbageandribs1875*** · 23-01-2023 08:32 PM

i've waited and waited on decent odds on aberdeen to qualify, £10 on at 3/1

won't be too sad if i lose :)

Brilliant! 😂 this is why I’m not rich (though thankfully didn’t have a bet and watched Fulham game)

***cabbageandribs1875*** · 23-01-2023 08:52 PM

11/10 Hibernian
23/10 Aberdeen

Decisions Decisions

bookies are always right, except tonight

13/1 for me, but still happy with that.

Well done to everyone who put something on Darvel, you deserve your winnings. I didn't even consider it.

***LaMotta*** · 25-01-2023 12:58 PM

Hibs are currently best price 250/1 to finish bottom of the premiership and 66/1 to finish bottom 2 - both on Sky Bet.

If this Transfer window goes tits up, then those odds are seriously big.

I'm on that but only got 50/1 in Willy Hills. Not to be sniffed at though.

Aye, canny rule it out unfortunately, and would soften the blow if the worst happens.

***weecounty hibby*** · 25-01-2023 02:28 PM

Tbh if hibs got relegated and somebody handed me a grand or two, it definitely wouldn't soften the blow. Would probably make my hangover the next day worse but it definitely wouldn't make me feel any better

I get what you mean but I've long accepted that there is nothing I can personally do to influence Hibs on field results. If the worst happens the money would make me less miserable.

After todays transfer news Sky Bet have moved from 250/1 down to 40/1 for Hibs to finish bottom....you can cash out for nearly treble your stake already.
