You have to laugh..

How many times when reading a forum do you see a headline saying Free Money or Guaranteed banker, or even the classic it's printing money?

I blame myself for reading the thread but upon opening it you find someone tipping Liverpool at 1/7 to beat Hull, or maybe a horse that is 1/4 in a four runner race. How hard is it to pick these monsters. Ask them the question of how much they are having on these certain winners and most will evade the question or some will make up absurd amounts but surely if they are the Free money as the headline says, you would be wanting to have everything you have on it, or else why make the headline?

Another classic is the person who prints their winning bet after the event, who cares ? they have not helped anyone with information before hand, i always respect someone who gives their views on an event before its started, even if i don't agree with it. Its always best to hear two side of the story and you can make your own mind up. Other things like how can you back them they have so and so missing or what a mug you are for backing them, these are often posted when the team you have backed are 1-0 down after twenty minutes, you wonder where they were when you posted your bet three hours ago? Just seen it it the most common reply..

On the subject of bets its interesting to note this little fact from the football season so far. Most people just like to do the weekend football bets and plump for a few teams in the hope of big payout and will include all of the so called big four English teams in their bet, but only once this season has this bet come in. When you add the big two from Scotland that is an awful lot of bets going down. Rest assured when or if they all come in one Saturday the bookies will be screaming they have lost millions again.
