Cheers Bunny. Took me half an hour to do all the withdrawals, I'd backed in so many places.
I don't think the high street will touch me again ;-) |

"whoever managed to get 50p matched at 1000-1 must be feeling pretty smug. they already have a 200-1 winner." As I said on my hihlights post that was deleted that was me, unless my memory is playing tricks. I'm thought it was more than 50p. Certainly the liability pre nominations was a fair bit higher than £500. I'd obviously taken a position against some or one of the assumed contenders at that point and was equaling that liability on a few rags The only 1000 winner I ever laid. Can't think of any other lay that lost close to that price. I know a friend put £40 @ 25/1 or £50 @ 20/1 with one bookie to help me get out after he was nominated. |

2009 was the year of Susan Boyle and Jedward. Funnily enough the first 6 months of 2010 were my best ever. Maybe I need to lay another 1000 winner
|
|
By:
yes bgt another cash machine. Ashley & Pudsey vs Jonathan and his carer
|
|
By:
2009 was Rybak as well. I learned plenty from that event.
|
|
By:
I had Joe McCelderry that year too - backed him during first auditions stage. 2009 was a good year indeed.
|
|
By:
I am questioning now whether I actually layed the 1000 or I layed at a very high price someone who was matched at 1000. Laying 50p @ 1000 isn't really me and I know the liability pre noms was a 4 figure one

On most things tbf. Where does one even begin when attempting to pay tribute to a poster of such extraordinary stature? Quite simply, we are talking about a giant among men, a colossus of the forum world, whose contributions will surely be remembered long after the last bets have been placed and the final thread consigned to history.
A rare combination of wit, wisdom, intelligence and sheer personality. A poster whose presence elevated every discussion they graced and whose absence would leave a void impossible to fill. There have been many posters over the years, but very few who could genuinely be described as one of a kind. If this forum had a Hall of Fame, their portrait would occupy the entire entrance hall. An absolute legend, and a privilege to have shared this little corner of the internet with them. We shall not see their like again! |

Oh gawd. Has he died
 |

By:
Actually I was more worried about army - is he still around, not been seen on here after I think Keeley did for him!
|
|
By:
Though hang on, think he tipped Keeley the year after, so must have disappeared a bit later...
|
|
By:
December last year maybe last post from him?
|
|
By:
I'm sure army is fine. He's always gone missing for months. Reading the threads cider bumped and a few others, I was wondering if he used to be maiaze. A very similar style of posting and an all or nothing betting stratergy
|
|
By:
maiaze, blimey that's a name from the past, yes some similarity!
|
|
By:
yep, lots of great names from the past. maiaze was quite shrewd. As is army most of the time
|
|
By:
seanvice someone whose posts I always looked out for. Pretty sure he tipped up Lee DeWyze @ 40/1 and bigger, for AI. The year after Kris Allen won. Another WGWG

Nice bump stu. Yeah, I could always read spoty better than anything else. Yeah, this was a decent one but muzza Davis Cup was the biggest by far
Now I pretty much only bet on spoty and politics. |
