My attempt at doubling money through sports betting

[metas76]

hello,
I'm Polish, so I basically support any Polish team in the European cups. there's been no Polish team in Champions League for 13 or 14 years now :D
I also like English football, Premiership is the best league in the world. Guess my fav team would be Arsenal. But when English teams play against European teams in CL i support them.
Anyway, interesting thread, keep going and good luck

£0 in the pot. Unless Slavia Prague win or draw and Minnesota beat New Orelans, I have lost the lot.



I fell into the same trap as South east....this is bloody tough i tell you, you get so close like i did and the frustation gets to you so much, it makes you bet irrationally. Oh well, lets do a south east and use some emergency 'imaginary' funds. Oh look, i just found another £100,000 down the back of my settee...lol! Lets see if i can win back my lost imaginary £100,000 and win the original imaginary £100,000 i was after in the first place. So to do this i have to turn £100,000 into £300,000 But theres a new rule, NO ACCUMULATORS ALLOWED, THEY JUST MESS UP! Maximum selection is trebles on each bet.


£100,000 in the new pot (after finding it down the back of my sofa!!)

By the way guys, if you want to check the NFL scores, just go to www.nfl.com and the results are normally at the top of the page. If they're not, just click on scores and you can easily find them there.
