Rangers to win the Spl....1/2. Rangers best priced tomorrow, 1/2. What a juicy 5/4 double that would be if one result didn't affect the other.
I will be placing two bets tomorrow accordingly.
Both doubles. Having said that, I will probably have to suffer the 4/9 Rangers tomorrow, but even at that price it's still over evens the double, with another 1/2 shot.
Any Celtic fans looking in, lump on (imho)

have you taken into account the appeal against the 24m assessment they got which will finish on jan 19th
Gerb, egg on face thread for me. Having said that I'm still in with a shout. (just) Did a three figure sum bet with Swansea today. (blootered obviously)
However, I did place a four figure sum on Rangers at 1/2 and A.N. Other. which will more than recoup my losses today. (hopefully)
Having said that, unbelieveably, that's the first time I've backed any of the old firm this season.
I'm noot counting any winnings at present, but my big hope is that the h u n s get a result a Parkhead.
No masonic jibes this season please.

"Ally McCoist's team were looking to equal an eighty two year record by remaining unbeaten on the road for a 15th consecitive game."
I hope the Super one made the players aware of this.
Anyways, upwards and onwards. I had a look at oddsckecker to see the SPL prices this weekend, and although I don't usually get involved, I fully expected to see Celtic at 4/11. Amazingly, VC go 8/13, with a lot af books at 4/9.
The problem with VC is they don't take bets over the phone, but customer services will ask the traders how much you can get acommadated for online, and apparently stick to their word.
I may give them a tinkle tomorrow and try and get a double on for the weekend. (The h u ns won't be included) I know funny things happen in football, but Caltic are overpriced against this lot imo.
PS, my A.N other are Man City for the premiership at 4/6. Re of my fate, I know which cities the said titles are headed for. (nap) (1 star
)
PS again, if a certain BF client is looking in, it's for 3/10ths of that particular bet.

mmmmmm. Commons gets a hat trick at the weekend and gets dropped last night????
Put that 8/13 value shot on hold imo.
Put that 8/13 value shot on hold imo.
Everything stands as it was for the time being, after this weekend's results.
Both the old firm just scraped through, like Man Utd. Man City will hopefully keep it together until any pressure setting in might upset the apple cart.
Never did back Celtic at 8/13 and although hindsight's a great thing, it would have been a nice fourfold with the four teams mentioned. (I don't know what the four timer odds were)
Every week that passes will hopefully keep me in good stead, and after looking at next weeks fixtures, I may place a 4 fold on the same four teams....

Come on City.... even a draw would be of some help.
I'm just off to oddschecker to see what my 6/4 double might pay now.
Well, as most who know me, I'm the last one to start a £100 to £10,000 in two weeks thread. Having said that, I still think I have a fighting chance, with Man City needed to go on a decent run for the next six weeks.
Rangers are still value imho.
Rangers are still value imho.
Gerbs, my advice to you would to lump on Celtic. (VERY LARGE) And clean up??
Not a bad day allin. Another three points for the h uns and Chelea drop two points.
Let's see what tomorrow brings with three tough matches in my equation.
Let's see what tomorrow brings with three tough matches in my equation.
Suprisinglay, I'm not over confident about Man City tonight. Stoke are a srong stubbon side. This wont be easy tonight. (imho)
Not much change, apart from the fact I can't shake off the red mancs or the tims. Mind you, old firm day coming soon. I'd take a draw now....
A pleasing result yesterday. (in more ways than one) Glasgow a certainty for the title, and Manchester looking more nailed on. Having said that, it could be the tims and United. I'm still in pole position. (meantime)
celtic now favs looks like they wont need the tax mans help
You may be right gerbs. 'Super Ally' ???? Fkn more like Suer Wally imo. Far too much handshakes going on at Ibrox at present imo.
Take Lee MsCulloch for example. Forget about the sending off, this cnt Wally let's him play for Rangers??? Wtf is that all about.
He would srtuggle in the conference. (genuinely)
Man City still got a decent chance, but to be honest, the h uns have collapsed. Strangely enough, I've tipped up the tims the past three seasons, and what happened????
In summing up, these old firm games can turn things around, but Celtic the better team at present, even though they're struggling against p1ss poor sides themselves.
Still a long way to go yet though.

Nope I'm afraid not

PS I hope you're not a johnah!!

PS again, if a certain BF client is looking in, it's for 3/10ths of that particular bet.
Before the up coming matches, may I point out to a certain client that the 3/10ths of my said bet has nothing to do with the 'Timmy Murphy' bet. It was larger than that. I only say in case of aftertiming.
A bit cryptic I know, but I've learned that E.Mailing is the way forward.
I hope you get my gest, but I was (at the time)happy to get the 1K not matched to play with....
I'm sure everyone will agree that the whole circumference of the ball was over the line. Daylight robbery, which may cost me a good few quid. The score should read 1-1. (nap)
Superb results all over for Man City today. Problem is, Manchini has to face the real blessed one tomorrow and that wont be easy.
Having said that, given Rangers were robbed by the men in black the other night, I'm still fighting my corner....

you could have the whole circumference cross the line at some point and not the whole of the ball having crossed the line at any time if the ball was spinning sufficiently when it flirted with the goal, i.e. all of the ball beyond the line but not simultaneously

Thank you for that scientific lesson charlatan. I will put in my notebook for the next old firm match where the 'men in black' will try to stitch me up......again.
As for today, the truly blessed one comes back to haunt me again. I just hope Palookaville isn't too bad a place to stay while recovering from my losses...

many saves did foster make on the night the huns where ****
First break for a while for the light blues. Now for the Glasgow side. (riddled with injuries)
Palookaville seems more likely now. Only Aberdeen try their heart out against Rangers,whereas, they always lie down to Celtic.
Having said that, I need Citeh to win today to keep my slim hopes alive.
Down, but not out yet. I actually feel a bit like Jeke La Motta in his sixth and final fight with Sugar Ray Robinson in the movie Raging Bull.
La Motta, (de Niro) gives him a real pounding in the twelve round, only for Robinson to bounce back in the thirteenth to make a mess of La Motta, whereby the ref had no option but to stop the fight.
Some experts said that if it had went one more round, La Motta would have won because Robinson wouldn't have had the energy to through another punch.
I have all the Robinson fights on tape, and without any
doubt he was the best pound for pound fighter to grace this planet.
Where my hope lies is that in the film, after the stoppage, La Motta goes up to Robinson and says. " You never got me down Ray, look, you never got me down"
I feel the same, for the time being......
Here endeth the lesson!!

I do like the way that you spent most of your last post talking about Raging Bull and finished off with a quote from "The Untouchables". It quite amused me.

Gerbs, you must be the life and soul of every party you attend. That's if you've ever been invited to one.....
PS I'm not paronoid. If you don't believe me, take out a second mortgage and take any price you can get for Celtic beating Aberdeen next time out.

A few sides in the SPL will lie down to Celtic.
St Mirren are one of them

Strange how we've never conversed before 'Gerbs', yet you take an interest in my thread. Never seen you on GB before. Strange one......
ive been on GB loads of times it will probably show in my posting history on the new forum i only use the old style one so i cant look
I came on the thread because as I said in my first post anyone betting on rangers at 1/2 had to take into account the tax case, (which will see rangers end up in admin at least)
also i have noticed on other sites in the last 4 weeks rangers fans saying every one is against them BBC, taxman, papers ,radio clyde, radio scotland and teams lying down to celtic and its starting to show on the betfair forum now as well
i find it very funny now to hear it from rangers fans
It was all paranoia when celtic complained about refs and farry

Fair enough Gerbs. In retrospect, I backed a 1/2 shot that should have been 10/11. However, that's aftertiming. Just like I wish I had done a single on City at 4/6.
Having said that, it's not over yet.
As for the tax situation, I was told in good authority, that would not come into the equation. Looks like it doesn't matter now.
As for Farry, that was many years ago, a bigger poultice I have yet to see.

No probs Gerbs, Like I said before, you must be the life and sould of every party you're invited to.
As it stands, administration, isn't the end deal yet. All my thoughts are on the Roedean thread on horseracing.

It's a run down Co-op Hibby. The Buckfast flies off the shelves.
Can't win them all. Having said that, I'v got a largish bet on Gers/Man City double to win their leagues. A pal of mine pnoned me on Saturday after United went top and asked me if I was feeling the pressure.
I replied ......"Pressure is something you feel when unprepared"......

Reporting Scotland was enough for me Hibby. When I placed the bet, I was told that administration would not be on the agenda by a good source. After watching Reorting Scotland, I genuinely never knew how bad this geezer was.
A Motherwell man who looks like he's bit off more than he can chew imo. That's OK for a bit of roofing, but not for the second biggest club in Britain.
I was looking at a few other websites, and apparently, this man is not going to be popular with a certain Glasgow mob if he doesn't stump up some cash.
I wouldn't like to be in his shoes right now, because, apparrently, he's either going to end up with a Glasgow 'smile', ot the old 'Hamilton Hammer'.
No matter what, I don't think he will sleep well tonight, although I would never condone violence against the man.
PS I'm just going by other websites. It's probably all talk.........

Haven't looked at your link Hibby as it somtimes slows down my already slow laptop.
The source wasn't pissed Hibby, but whe 49 K is owed to the taxman things can turn around....
Meanwhile, Britain's biggest club, (Man U) are six hundred million in debt......

the point you are missing stewart is going in to administration means a 10 point deduction.
you'd have had to be living on the moon not to have known it was a distinct possibility this season.
anyone who advised you it wouldn't be a problem was deluding themselves.
it was a MAJOR problem and therefore betting on RANGERS to win the league carried a huge risk imv...

I don't live in the moon Hibby, but no doubt it would be better than Palookaville at the moment.

Hibby, it would have been a far bigger problem for me if I had bet that Mo Johnston wouldn't sign for Rangers.....

I can't post my feelings at present because I have to do a little more reserch. Meanwhile, Craig Whyte is safely tucked away in southern France. For the time being......
Are you Craig Whyte?
No, I am not. And more imortantly, I would be shaking if I was in his shoes. Hence he is tucked away in the south of France. However he will have to return sooner or later. (unless he can give evidence via video link)
On the bright side, Rangers have signed two quality Czeck strikers, Blank and Provi.

I started the thread, and I'll finish it. (unless anybody wants to post that has a cryptic mind)
I've accepted my fate now, and although I'm a bit pig sick at the whole shambles, there's nothing I can do about it.
Having said that, I'm disappointed at Neil Lennon's anticts. He seems to me a very bitter man, and after the hassle he went through previously, I can't believe the bile he is spouting about Rangers.
That aside, Celtic may win their treble, but as per normal,(like Rangers)will fall at the first hurdle in Europe.
Somebody said I was a bit naive in backing Rangers along with Man City.
I took the 1/2 Rangers, and srtangely the person who dsaid I was naive, wouldn't comment on the fact that he never lumped on Celtic at 13/8. (Perhaps not as shrewd as he makes out to be)
On a final note, I managed to get a fair bit on the double, due to the fact that I got the heads up about the best way to get on for larger sums from a fellow forumite. I would like to thank him fot that info. (seriously)

when you started the thread rangers were 1/2 and in your words value, how does 1000 look now? the very first reply you had indicated that rangers had the tax inquiry hanging over them and faced a points deduction. this you dismissed by stating you were in the know and it wouldn't affect them?(see22 Jan 12 17:31) now they have been deducted 10 points you must regret being in the know. currently 17 points behind and with a distinct possibility of losing the title on their home ground when celtic visit in march this ship has undoubtedly sunk.
Your manchester city bet will go to the wire, man utd are experienced have the best manager and will thrive under pressure against city. you have the best squad , however have in house derision, a manager who is showing the affects of a hard season and a team everyone wants to beat thus their away form is looking more delicate, good job they have a 100% league home record, I personally believe utd will certainly shorten in the coming weeks regardless of who wins thus they are excellent value.
P.S. I love the comments about teams lying down to others, obviously has nothing to do with them being better, fitter, more professional, want to win more? everyone one in spain lies down to barca and real madrid, oh yes its because they are better, fitter toughter, and have a desire to win.
you've had a bad bet, we all have these infact most of us do so on a daily basis, however we just look for the next winner rather than moan and claim hard done too

An interesting post cool_hand_luke, however,there's a couple of things wrong with it.
when you started the thread rangers were 1/2 and in your words value, how does 1000 look now?
I've never mentioned on this thread how much I placed on the bet. Having said that, there's a forumite whom,I think, has an idea due to a 'cryptic' clue I mentioned on my post dated 27Dec 11 21:58. (having said that. it's maybe me that's got that part mixed up and you are talking about the 1000 I didn't get matched)
this you dismissed by stating you were in the know and it wouldn't affect them?(see22 Jan 12 17:31
Ms stew works with an accouneant and he informed me tha6t the tax case could drag on for years. (read about Harry Redknapp)
you've had a bad bet, we all have these infact most of us do so on a daily basis, however we just look for the next winner rather than moan and claim hard done too
A bit patronising that one. I'm hardly moaning but I do think most decisions have went Celtic's way this season. There are many clubs in far worse financial positions, and I personally think it's unfair that the tax man has used the second biggest club in Britain to use as an example.

PS another forumites willing to tell me I made a mistake, but not willing to share how shrewd he was and how much he lumped on Celtic at 13/8.

Not many teams take 250,000 to aways matches or hold the record for a league attendance of 118,000 in Britain.
PS Only 1% of Manchester United ''fans'' have been to Old Trafford.....

your correct they do hold the british record for attendance in 1939 for 118,567 v celtic
ibrox current max capacity 50,411
old trafford max capacity 75.811
parkhead max capacity 60.500
arsenal max capacity 60.355
anfield max capacity 45,276
w hart lane max capacity 36.240
stamford br max capacity 42.449

they do not hold the british record attendance for club football
why do yo think he says league attendance
why do yo think he says league attendance
The attendance of 146,433 for the 1937 Scottish Cup final between Celtic and Aberdeen at Hampden Park is a European record for a club match.
The attendance of 136,505 for the 1969–70 European Cup semi-final between Celtic and Leeds United played at Hampden Park is the highest ever for a UEFA competition match.

You are correct in what you say Gerbs, hence the word league.
When Celtic's capacity reached 60,000, David Murray was all set to move the bulldozers in and make Ibrox the biggest stadium in Britain until trickie Dickie got the manager's job and insisted to Murray on spending it on players. Tore Andre Flo being the best example at over 11 million pounds. What a buy....

you must either think everyone is as stupid as you or cant read
his statement read

thus the answer -your correct they do hold the british record for attendance in 1939 for 118,567 v celtic
stewarty b has a rangers head on but makes lots of sense, you are just as they say a throbber
