kwsaint Posted 1 July, 2014 Share Posted 1 July, 2014 I'm ****ed off so I went to the bookies today and bet that Costa Rica would win the world cup. At 40/1 I thought why not. What's yours? Oh and if anyone says this isn't saints related, I'll bite you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-Clarke Posted 1 July, 2014 Share Posted 1 July, 2014 That Cameroon would reach the final, 250/1. It couldn't have gone much more wrong if they'd tried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unbelievable Jeff Posted 1 July, 2014 Share Posted 1 July, 2014 Lallana to be at Saints at beginning of September. I'm going to go and get my money back in flesh. All 40 pounds of flesh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dickyhale Posted 1 July, 2014 Share Posted 1 July, 2014 England to win a game at the WC. Rocky had a £100 on England not to win a game at this WC @9-1. We all laughed at him in Ladbrokes. He's saying "who's laughing now" I was one of those clowns fair play Rocky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNSUN Posted 1 July, 2014 Share Posted 1 July, 2014 I had an 'insurance bet' on Carlisle to beat Saints in the JPT final. It was a fair bit of money iirc which would have been a consolation prize had we lost. I far preferred the outcome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint_clark Posted 1 July, 2014 Share Posted 1 July, 2014 On the flipside, the most annoyed i've ever been at NOT placing a bet was when I was going to place all the money I had on us to beat Coventry final game of the Championship season. We all knew it was going to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

radio slave Posted 2 July, 2014 Share Posted 2 July, 2014 £10 on Colombia to beat Uruguay. Except I pressed the wrong odds - Colombia to kick off. They didn't kick off. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The9 Posted 2 July, 2014 Share Posted 2 July, 2014 (edited) Betting on Hakan Sukur as top scorer in 2002 was pretty silly - Turkey got to the semis, and I'd spotted they had an easy run - but they were in Brazil's group and every win Turkey racked up, Brazil won by more. In addition, Sukur had a personal nightmare and got dropped for Ilhan Mansiz, and failed to score until the 3rd/4th place match, when he buried one in the first 15 seconds of the match. Mind you, he was 40/1. Also, I rushed to the bookies just prior to the kick off of North Korea v Portugal in 2010 to get a bet on "no goalscorer" at 9/1 after the North Koreans' decent losing performance against Brazil. Put the bet on, started watching the match seconds later, there was a deluge, which always leads to goals and Portugal scored in the first minute or so. Portugal won 7-0 I think. I bet on the Dutch to win HT and FT against Andorra in WC Qualifying on Betfair at 1,000/1 - the long odds being because there was only about 30 seconds of the first half left and it was still 0-0. That was a very quick way to lose a fiver, and it might even have been the case that it was ALREADY HT when I placed the bet. I also had a bet on Mix Diskerud to score at any time for the US last night at about 14/1, even though he hadn't been used at all in the tournament so far. In my defence, he came on and played quite a few of their pre-tournament games and made a good impact. Edited 2 July, 2014 by The9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

farawaysaint Posted 2 July, 2014 Share Posted 2 July, 2014 I said I'd eat my hat if we lost Lallana this window, I'm trying to think of creative ways to not welch on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cat Posted 2 July, 2014 Share Posted 2 July, 2014 Any bet in the mid 90's on Fulham to win. They messed up otherwise winning accumulators 3 times in a month, twice by letting in last minute goals. Their relegation this season has almost made up for it. Gave up betting on this World Cup after putting my relatively modest winnings from a few of the opening games on Spain to beat Chile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
