Ive started to keep a book Bridge .. Im up 20 so far for the month of Jan.

Seriously its about your book showing a profit come the 31 Dec. And obviously your not betting your house on horses cause as we all know there is no such thing as a sure thing...

I know a lad who is 24 and has a serious problem his gf took his bank card off him now thats desperate ....

thats truth tbh

with the poker i have never gone below my origional deposit of 50 euro
im actually about 8000 dollars up in 6 years. Have taken it out over time ,have about 100 left in my a/c and if that goes then thats that
then again i dont see poker as gambling as such, more about reading other players and working out maths quickly in your head
if you watch others closely you can start learning by how they bet when actually have a decent hand or if an over bet is a bluff

I dont like poker really truth be told..

Love the horses. Even just watching them like I am today... Good racing at Leopardstown again today.

I like that Lukes Benefit in the next at L'Town going off in a few mins tho ?!?!

with poker the idea is to minimise the element of chance
i play it as game though and not as a way of making money-thats just a bonus

and i hate to lose

Right Lads the next thing we are going to look at is a bet called Ante Post betting...

The bet is a £ \€ 20 double for Cheltenham. The 2 horses are Hurricane Fly and Big Bucks.

Hurricane Fly is in the Champion Hurdle
Big Bucks is in the World Hurdle

Both are odds on... Hurricane Fly 4/7 and Big Bucks is
4/5... These odds can change From bookies to bookies.. Also if you are going to do these bets ask the bookie if its a non runner do you get your money back ?!?!

Also alot of on line sites Paddy Power/betfair (prob the best site for odds)/bet 365 etc.
Will give a matched £\€ 20 free bet if you open an online account. So if you open an account stick 20 and pick those 2 horses in a double you are 99% to make a profit !!!

Hurricane Fly perhaps- only half a dozen horses have defended the Champion Hurdle in the past 70 yrs.
Big Bucks - not so sure as he is getting on a bit. Also no horse has won the world hurdle 4 times on the trot although he will be trained all yr with that race in mind.
Cheltenham, its the horsey olympics.

Lapland I really think no other horses will come close to those 2 horses.. think they are a fairly safe bet.

2 of them are in great form and I think bar a fall are guaranteed winners !!!

They will be probably be shorter , which is what makes it so attarctive.

The horse could also have been killed in a horrible accident before the day itself- in which case you get nadda .

Thats true Lapland so thats why I said if anyone is going to do the double that they ask if the horse is a non runner the bookie refunds the bet ...

Going to do Chad Ochocinco to score first Touchdown in the Super Bowl.

Also going to prob do Tommy Bowe and Sean O Brien for first try scorer v Wales.

Borrusia Dortmund to beat Nurnburg 4/7
QPR to beat Wolves 10/11
Swansea to beat West Brom 13/5

£10 treble will net you £108

If doing it, get on it today as Dortmund are playing this evening

If feeling really brave / stupid add West Ham to beat Milwall @ 4/7 and your tenner will net you £170. If doing this , remember to call your bet an accumulator on the betting slip not a treble.

I got those prices off PP , but actually do my betting in the local bookies.

PP online makes it too easy to gamble, and tbh i much prefer getting cold hard cash winnings into my hand as opposed to an account where it generally gets blown .

You know you can put cash into your PP acc so you dont have to link a card to it ?!

Also you can get a Cash Card which is like a bank card and lets you withdraw your winnings if theres any ?!
