Fulham 12/1, that's free money if United play like they did against Everton.

£5 on Van Der Vaart, Van Persie, Osman and Moses.

Great minds! Osman is a great price at 16s, he loves scoring against us.

You mean Norwich?

WTF Fulham 1-0!

Pighardia · 25 Aug 2012 at 15:08

What a pick! Moses is not only not playing today, he has actually moved clubs!

el_dazza · 25 Aug 2012 at 15:22

Well Van Persie and Zamora have both scored, be nice to get all 5 with a goal!

Yeah great shout mate, both 3-0 (well, Everton could easily score 10 tbh

)

One of my accas came up, £225. I am sick though, was one goal away from a £750 one. Needed QPR to win

Thank you Sheffield Wednesday, and thank you Miguel Llera

****ing Tottenham!

Also Rooney's injury looks prettybad. A gash on his thigh that seems pretty deep. nothing confirmed yet but i doubt he'll play for a month or more. Shame RVp is so damned expensive but with Aguero out for another few weeks and now Rooney it does make choosing easier.

Quite. I reckon they have lost a lot of bets for people!

That result nearly worked perfectly for me, as in two lines I had it to be a draw! unfortunately QPR let me down though

MissChief · 25 Aug 2012 at 18:33

Rooney confirmed out for 4 weeks minimum. Imagine if Arsenal had waited a week? That's another 5 million on the price please!

MissChief · 26 Aug 2012 at 15:54

Bloody useless Arsenal. Couldn't hit a cows arse with a banjo all of them!

Pighardia · 26 Aug 2012 at 18:46

I did a double of both games to be 2-2, even though it was an obvious 0-0

Also had Toure to score twice. If Man City played him more forward all the time, he would score tons!

MissChief · 27 Aug 2012 at 01:42

Real Madrid cost me £30 on a £1 bet tonight.

psychodil · 27 Aug 2012 at 21:17

Looks like rooney will be out for at least 4 weeks.

Still, its not the first time he's paid for a nasty gash

What do you guys think of today's Carling Cup
Is it wise to bet against the newly promoted EPL teams. I remember last season, was it Sycho making a big meal out of it

Couple of draws out there tonight, Saints are away at Stevenage and we are playing our development squad which can only go one of two ways, a demolition after going a goal down or a draw to then get to pen's.

If the odds are good there might be one or two upsets but I can't see many of them being all that good to bet on.

bagsjoni · 28 Aug 2012 at 12:38

I think the reason for betting against the promoted teams was not about their Forms but the tendency of their Managers to prefer to exit the Carling Cup ASAP and concentrate on staying in the EPL.
After all they know they will be out of it soon so why risk their players and energy.

Spurs conceding that last minute goal on the weekend lost me a 6-fold bet, which would have netted £300 from a £4 bet

ScarySquirrel · 28 Aug 2012 at 15:55

I just put a silly £1 12-fold bet on for tonight's Capital One matches; potential winnings of £24,695.88 if it comes in, haha. Would be laughing my way to the bank if that came in!
