F^CK ME. really fed up tonight. was playing around bored trying to skim £20 off Arsenal-Everton market. Anyway my wife says lets pop out for an hour. Got back realised I'd left a £1,000 up on Arsenal. Didn't even fancy them just playing the odds. Anyway, on getting back and finding out what I'd done and that Arsenal were losing I managed to take my medicine it cost me £700. Having a few beer to numb my mind and forget my error. Bad luck or what?

its bad luck cos he could have got in and they were winning.
i had something similar once where i backed david villa to be top scorer in the euros, put up a lay at much lower odds thinking it might go too low if he scored. i went out expecting to get back around kickoff but the bus didnt turn up. by the time i got home he had scored twice and obviously my lay had been gobbled up and the price was a hell of a lot lower. someone got a massive gift cos of that bus not turning up, around 2k of my profit wasted. |

greed costs in the longterm mate
my worst nightmare was when i traded an arsenal match (used to trade the day/night before the match) .. I layed Bolton for 7.5k .. planning to trade out all green (would've worked-normally did) It was an early kick off 12.30 and i simply slept in (knackered) i tuned in about 20 mins late and arsenal were 0-1 down :( I simply sat staring at the screen for almost an hour .. wishing them to score to take a small loss In the end i almost accepted a huge loss and backed the draw heavy --- they equalised in the 84th minute I couldn't lay off quick enough & lost about £500 --a right royal result :| I did similar once on an Inter match .. they played every sunday .. but was before christmas and played on the saturday .. i didn't even realise they were playing !!!!!! |

By:

By:
I knew the KO time !
But snoozing is a dangerous thing :( there are other possibilities too |

By:
if your laying for that much you make sure your up with more than enough time
