By:
Don't drink while i'm working btw ,
but get so wound up after 8 hours of headbanging need something to unwind when i've finished & if i didn't smoke i'd go completely insane |

By:
lol bob , there was actually a MILLLION DOLLAR FREEROLL i played in just last Saturday
 You have to be a Supernova player on stars to get free entry though , there's 1 million every 3 months , and 100k Freeroll end of every month tbh there not worth much as too hard to win , i cashed in the million for $300 but a guy i play regularly against won 90k in one a year or so ago |

were you around back in the day when there was a betfair forum poker tournament?
i amazed myself and came about 27th or summat. i played for the north american forum and we finished 3rd i believe. |
|
By:
you only need one decent win ike that to boost you right up , most i won in a freeroll was 3.5k a few years ago !
|
|
By:
ive played in a few and everybody goes all-in early doors. total joke really. you dont know whether to go all-in or fold with AA! obviously i always went all-in. then 3 other people did and i got beat by 73 or summat crazy!
|
|
By:
yep i was , used to post on here but diff name , even remember slippy & each way played , i remember just about everything
 |
|
By:
it was good fun. i remember there was an in-running fred on the north american forum. i played very cagey for hours then was close to getting knocked out and i did something like go all-in 3 or 4 hands in a row and zoomed up near the lead out of nowhere. everybody thought i was on a crazy tilt but i actually had some great hands. be rude not to!
|

By:
there are idiots everywhere still , even in $60-100 games , had a guy earlier i raised with KK 2nd hand into the game -120 he re-raised me to like 270 - i 3 bet him to 454 or something - he 4 bet me to 780 - i shoved to 1500 & he calls with 7 3 .... complete fkn donks i just have to laugh sometimes , why can't they just Fold when i 3 bet him
 |
|
By:
it's not even like he was 3betting me & shoving me allin ... he was ending up Calling !!!!!

i dont play much but i love when people walk straight head first into oblivion.
last week this guy kept betting against me every bloody hand. so i deliberately called then folded next hand. did it about 3 times in a row. all the time thinking youre gonna think im weak as p1ss here arent you, you t1t. next hand he does it and ive got the nuts...so i flat call again. then he raises more...so i flat called again...then he goes all-in! hook line sinker copy of angling times!  |
|
By:
not next hand sorry. you know what i mean! he bets i flat call. he raises. i fold.
|
|
By:
yep it happens a lot mate , they just think they can walk all over you , and if you flat call they just bet flop every time , some are good at it though as if you re-raise they'll snap fold , i just label them as scum raisers , i don't mind if the blinds are bigger as there's a point to it then , but these scumbags will just steal every 20 blind , lol

poker's a value game , and the value usually comes later on
 |
|
By:
you have any fancies for the world cup mate ?
i fancy hammering the group betting , as it gets more tricky afterwards |
|
By:
not really looked tbh. i usually get heavily involved in the top scorer market. a lot of players get backed stupidly low right before games just cos theyre playing. players that have got next to no chance of scoring in a brothel. like rooney!
|
|
By:
only just noticed theres a top scorer and a golden boot. two different markets. never seen that before on here. annoying cos its splitting the money matched in half. thats gonna fook up the liquidity for sure.
|
|
By:
I agree but not much money to be made like that surely
|
|
By:
made 8 grand on it before now. all depends how it goes.
|
|
By:
8 grand really wow , they must've be some heavy lays
|
|
By:
i'm not really into laying big prices as one always catches you out , and i won't ride it out till the death i usually just trade out !
|
|
By:
well backs as well. was on the euros when david villa was top scorer. backed the crap out of him.
in the end i had greens on about 30 different players and still made about 8 grand. |
|
By:
it helped that near every single match, all the strikers taking part plummetted in price. was like shelling peas backing players the night before then laying it off just before kick off.
didnt work so well the last world cup though. think everybody got wise to it |
|
By:
im not much of a trader, more a punter, but the world cup is one event i trade on a lot.
some incredible things happen. like a team being 2.2 to win their last but 1.5 to qualify cos some big money trader has got the qualification rules wrong! happens every time 3 teams can finish level on points. |
|
By:
yep nice when it works like that , i remember it villa won quite easily scored about 11 goals in the end
 i don't have much luck with scores though so not a market i bet on , just stick to teams to win / lose for the big events |
|
By:
don't you play the groups , or winners market , i find all the value's gone once the groups are done , made most of my money by then !
|
|
By:
then theres the last games where a draw puts both teams through. the draw sinks from 3.5 to 2.2 when people realise. im gonna work out what i think will happen to see if theres any decent chances of that happening. worth hammering the draw if its high enough to not lose much if it doesnt come off.
|
|
By:
i'm usually drunk by then
|
|
By:
i sometimes back the teams i think can win it. 5 or 6. but its not a great profit margin cos once the knockouts start you have to be careful. have to see what i think.
|
|
By:
yep i was gonna back the top 4 , brazil , arg , germany , spain , pays like 1/2
not totally convinced though , some say germany & spain might struggle ! |
|
By:
if i was doing it id probably back those 4 plus italy, uruguay and chile.
the more teams, the less the odds but the more id feel safe putting on. 20k spread around that lot and id feel pretty confident. belgium at 23 has to be some kind of joke. |
|
By:
i wouldnt be looking to back the winner, id be looking to back all the final 4 teams. so id have to look at the groups and schedule etc first. which i havent yet.
