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)

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. Wink

"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.  CryCry


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 Sad)


PS again, if a certain BF client is looking in, it's for 3/10ths of that particular bet.

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....

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.

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)

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.

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 Cool

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...

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!!

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.
