Sorry,mate - but I'm not prepared to accept this bet this time,because it really is against the spirit of the game.If Livorno draw you will DECREASE your bank by a substantial enough %.I realise in the last round (bet No7) you used a similar system.In that bet,the return on a draw would have been slightly less than your stake.In hindsight,maybe I should have banned it then.
Doogie,for example,used a similar strategy which falls within what I regard as the spirit of the game - his bet,however, - at worst - would have resulted in his bank staying the same.
For practical purposes,I say that we VOID your bet No 8.You can,of course,use another selection.I don't want to go on forever about technicalities - but bets which actually DECREASE the bank really are not acceptable.Doubtless,nobody would keep on doing those sort of bets in real life.The focus is in correctly selecting/predicting ten on the trot - personally,I think it is implicit within betting that you will also aim to make a profit from your betting.To keep betting and achieve a correct results but lose money from the same bets hardly makes sense - unless you are trying to sidestep a rule of this paricular game.
I'm not trying to open up a can of worms or 'get out' of anything (exiledmanc's selections etc were a perfect example of how the game should be played).Here's a refresher of what I wrote earlier about double chance/asian bets.Hope you get my drift.
sorry but I think the splitting of the bank of something other than which woudl return an exact same amount for either result is two different bets. Its just does not seem right!!
are you doing this for real also, its an increible amouint from a 100 unit start, you've followed good value and took your time, 69,000 from 100 is phenomenal, hats off to you!!!!!
If there was a book to accept stakes of 35000 euros on a single bet, then be sure i would have done it.
Although i would rather put 20000 on the side and keep staking with the rest.
I have betted myself all the bets you see and got great profit out of it. Still, i need 2 more to reach 10 on the trot, and that makes it hard now, as if i loose at 9th or 10th it will be a pity if you know what i mean.
So i hope everything turns out well for the rest 2 bets and i ll be in the q-finals
1. Grasshoppers v. Thun 1.25 (1) 2. Albion v. E Stirling (1) 1.22 *125 units @ GB 3. Rangers v. Kilmarnock (1) 1.15 * 152.5 units @ IW 4. Orebro v. Elfsborg (1X) 1.20 * 175 at GB 5. Celtic v. Dundee (1) 1.15 * 199.5 at IW 6. Honefoss v. Oslo Ost (1) 1.35 * 229.4 WHills 7. Real Madrid v. Malaga (1) 1.35 * 309.69 IW
The main reason I am taking them is simply because they are a good club with a dip in form, they have a good chance to return their form against a lesser team, with example of results like Olimpo losing 3-0 at home to Nueva and then Racing winning 5-0 at Nueva the next week. Its not a heavily researched bet as I have no team news, but worth a shot on Racing at home.
to think I turned down Bordeaux and Monaco for this argentina pile of shit just because I wanted better odds
I won't bother trying again now, its too heartbreaking but I have a suggestion to mulv. Forget about treying to get 8 people, what you shoudl do is just have a face off with all qualifiers, whoever is last in wins unless its down to 2 and they both lose they all start again kind of like survivor!
Unlucky Jhim,still time though,double chance,low odds!
not sure about the suggestion if the last two finalists get it wrong, start again, now that would be heartbreaking!better to carry on until an outright winner is found imo. it will be hard enough as it is with all the main leagues finished.
