Regardless of stake, whats your biggest success in terms of odds?
I personally have never manage to land anything better than a 10/1 for a tenner a couple of times, once on an acca, another on Saints at home to Bristol City (bet on Bristol to win with about 20 minutes left to play).

Urban Sea to win The Arc ~ 66/1
Probably backed the winners of Golf tournaments at higher odds , but in the context of backing and laying the whole field that don't really count. Also Accas when i used to do them, had one at 100/1 ,maybe better ones |

Kenilworth, if you don't like this thread, why comment on it? I'm sure you prefer when people who have no interest in your threads don't add pointless posts.

£2 on 27/1 on blackburn on the "Man united vs blackburn rovers"
And ive done a couple HT/FT bets before. Think i got a £3 26/1 on Real Madrid/Barcelona HT/FT bet. and another one was Aston villa/Arsenal HT/FT but i cant remember the odds on that think it was 35/1 with a £1 bet. Ive been trying to get a treble with correct scores on since jan using £1 bets each weekend but im yet to get more than one correct score correct -.- Im not botherd anyways most my winnings end up going back to the bookies or someone else on betfair. i just do it for abit of fun waiting for a nice £500+ win in less than 10 bets using £10 banks. So far since xmas ive managed to get from £30 - £200 then lose it all, and £50 - £100. But i seeem to loose most my money doing small bets on stupid games then wondering why i loose it faster than doing bigger bets. Got to stop soon for awhile anyways to get a new bank because man united seem to suck 2nite. |

coachbuster did u let these bets run till the end or did u trade them after a goal or two if u dont mind me asking. usually i trade them to recover my stake no matter how small t is. it is an area i may have to look its profitablity longterm

Absolutely, don't even dare question anything on one of his numerous threads of boredom though as it will get his goat up something wicked. A **** of the highest order. Posts plenty but never actually gives his bet as he has been found out to be a mug for a very long time. Trevor Immelman at 200/1 to win The Matsers. |

good point - i did some limitation damage on the lay so the real cost was around £100 or so , it was such a small stake in the first place -thank heavens. With the back bet a couple of weeks ago i got very lucky , it just came in - one minute it was dead ,then the next it was - well ,a winner ! |

There was a forumite once who layed a 250/1 shot or something or the Sister in Law **** Giggs to be SPOTY, I'd loved to have been the backer but sadly it wasn't me, Giggs was the wrong winner for more reasons than one, it was sentimental, and he has no...yeah yeah you guessed it.

cheers colonelll
feel for those that had interest on the 2-2 or even the 1-2 - those scores were barely in play for more than a few seconds |

An acca of 5 away wins sometime back in the early 90's !
What bumped it up was Port Vale winning away at Wolves at 4/1 when they were both in The Championship. The total odds were 240/1 ....... and, yes, I only put a quid on. |

In the 70's there used to be a bet called the ITV7, basically seven televised races and most of the bookies took them. the aim was to get all seven winners bit like tote jackpot or the scoop six. Had a consolation dividend for first 5 and six winners.
I used to do a perm every week but on this occasion it was the last sat of the factory holidays and I was skint except for 50p. Borrowed 10p off the mrs so I could get the paper which was 8p at the time. Did a perm 48 x 1p lines with two bankers in the last two races. Can't remember all the prices but started off with something like 9/2, 3/1, 100/30 then had two horse going in a ladies race both trained by Henry Cecil. One was 7/4 fav ridden by Elaine Mellor and the other was 20/1. The 20/1 shot got up in a photo to beat the fav. The bet got serious then and all I was thinking of was getting the consolation for 5 winner. The fifth horse went in so started sweating then. In the end had £500 going on the last horse which was 4/1 in a 5 horse race. It was named Oriental Rocket and was ridden by Ron Muddle. Anyway I was worried when he went straight into the lead over a mile and a half but amazingly he stayed 2 lengths up all the way to the line. Got just over £1500 for a 1p line - that's 150,000/1. Lot of money then., but sods law dictated that I was skint and could only afford a 1p perm. Great feeling though nonetheless. Went to Laddies to get paid and was told I had to wait until the following Friday for a cheque. Met a mate on the way home who took me for a bevvie to celebrate. |
