Having a punt

[Ausguy]

i bet cronulla to lose every game

so far i have put my kids thru school and purchased a house.... and new car...

Cheap school... cheap house... cheap car....

the sharks to lose a match would be about $1.20 in every game...

I punt for a living.

Been chatting to Mayweather across twitter for the past year.
He's a big punter on the NBA.

Outlay $300 at the start of the year on GF quinellas.
Boxed Drags,Tigs,Warriors,Canb.
Good way to bet ,if you lose it takes half a yr for you to do your money.
If you win you can get some very good odds before the season starts.

Sorry misunderstood, How did you get a return if the storm didnt win by 13+?

probably was the Eels game vs Sharks the other monday night.

I usually bet on overs/unders, sometimes multi up two of those if I like what's going on, usually get odds of 3.61.

Spot on, EE. Sorry, I thought that would be obvious from the colours of my avatar.

I love betting on sports but tennis is where the easy money is made

Do you ever bet on sets, or just the overall result of the match?

 

[Fiddy]

90% of the time i go with a 2-3 game multi with all bets being margins (1-12,13+ etc).

 

[umina panther]

Yeah bet sets and also individual games on live betting.

Have thought about doing that, but I don't think I am over it enough to justify.

You can certainly beef up the odds rolling it from set to set.

I agree that if you know what you are talking about, tennis is your sport for punting. I only just found out recently that a mate of mine's old man is a professional punter, and he bets exclusively on womens tennis apparently. He's put him and his brother through school and uni on it.

As for footy punting, as I mentioned earlier, I did it just to make a game more interesting so avoid first try scorer type punts because it's over too quickly. Half time/full time is a good option. The Dragons made me consistent amounts of money on that option last year in particular.

It has been a lifelong-footy-following dream of mine to nail the pick-the-margins. Just once.

It almost happened last year, Parra and Newcastle fans will remember the game well. Monday night in the wet at Newcastle and Parra are leading by 4 for most of the game. Of course, I need the Eels 1-12 to get up and I'm following live scores.

I could hardly restrain myself coming in to the last few minutes as it looked good but lo, it was not to be. The last refresh sees Newcastle points added to the board and my dreams are scattered in the wind.

Parramatta have a way of breaking your heart like that.

A mate of mine got the margins up a few years ago. He puts $10 worth of $1 mysteries every week. It paid some thing like $5500, the week before the jackpot went off and it was something around the $100k mark.

With the last 2 games he needed manly 13+ on the sunday and i think Orford kicked a field goal with not long to go after they were leading by 12, and then had Dogs to beat Souths 1-12 on the monday night and they just got up.
