Would be over the 1k mark now had it not been for me withdrawing my initial stake.

100 grand is a little bit optimistic... I am going to revise that to £10k

BET 23) Ok here it is..... £500 going down on Liverpool to beat Blackburn and Rangers to beat Falkirk... Odds 2.5 to return £1250

Call me mad but I cant see Liverpool not winning after Blackburns long haul game yesterday..Pool being fresh and the return of Torres will lift spirits. 2 games won on the bounce now - a run will come together.
Rangers are 2 points adrift to Celtic and this is a must win game against bottom of the table Falkirk. Although Falkirk managed a 3-3 draw with Celtic a few weeks ago I can sense them getting at them from the off. Looking back at last 8 games, Rangers have beaten them everytime.
Report The Snake • December 3, 2009 10:58 AM GMT
2 big bets for a nice big return if they come in... if not then ive banked £500 and the challenge will come to a head. The reason ive got my bets in early as the big teams prices tend to come in nearer the off. Best off having as bigger odds as I can get.
Report thankyoumugs • December 4, 2009 8:31 AM GMT
bets have gone alot more risky all of sudden , goodluck, think chelsea will be lucky to get all three points against man city, doubles got a strong chance if liverpool can win, suppose liverpool will have benefited from not playing in midweek, goodluck.
Report i-only-lay • December 4, 2009 12:53 PM GMT
torres is out of the blackburn game, the chelsea team that played midwek is far better than the team liverpool will have out tomorrow so i cant see why on earth you would take such poor odds on liverpool..

blackburn are a tough team to beat at home

think uve done a big whack of cash on the top 4 all winning, i can see 3 of those 4 not winning

gl though
Report i-only-lay • December 4, 2009 12:54 PM GMT
liverpool were 1.76 when i layed them this morning, they are already out to 1.84, i wouldnt be surprised if they kicked off odds against

how anyone can take anything less than 6/5 on a liverpool win is baffling!
