What's the most amount of money you've ever spunked on a bet? What was the bet? Did it win? Gambling is a dangerous game. Especially if you've lost 1 bet and start chasing. Yesterday I put £600 on Poland U16's to beat Belarus U16's @ 4/6. Went for it because of stats etc. Poland scored just after half time and won 1-0. It was tense stuff. But at 22 years old I've nothing better to spend it on. That's all my accounts closed again Who's got any better stories? Nev will have some no doubt. £600 will be tame to him.
Think the most I've lost on a single bet was £1200 on some french mob to beat Celtic. They drew 1-1 I had put a grand on Athletico Madrid to beat Celtic in the same tourney. (that won) Rarely bet any more. Wasted 5 grand in a week on Blackjack. Stopped playing after that. Don't even bother with accumulators anymore. Had £40 on Chelsea last night though @ 7/5
5 grand I fancied Chelsea last night too but after shredding my nerves earlier in the day but probably couldn't handle it. £1200 in 1 game is frightening though.
please log in to view this image I only do Accumulators and they never come off unless you only have 2, 3 or 4 teams.
At the beginning of the season, I had planned to bet £1k on Rangers half-time/full-time at Ibrox in every game. Thank **** I never
Guineas weekend, May 2002. A mate who's niece was doing a veterinary placement at Ballydoyle stables in Tipperary told me that defeat for Hawkwing was unthinkable. Everyone at the stable was on, and so was I, for my biggest ever bet on the nags. The next day Mick Channon's unbeaten Queen's Logic was favourite for the filly's event, and I was all over her as well. no way would she be beat. Jamie Spencer mistimed his run on Hawkwing, a ****-up that was eventually to cost him the most prestigious jockey's job in the sport. The thing finished like an aeroplane, but couldn't get up in time to beat Rock of Gibralter, from the same stable and owned by some miserable Manc/Scots bastard named Alex Ferguson. I took the defeat like a man, sucked up the pain, got pissed and doubled my stake on Queen's Logic for the next day, confident that I'd win the lot back. The following morning another mate rang to tell me that Queen's Logic had been withdrawn from the 1000 Guineas due to a stone bruise on a foot. This of course meant that all my ante-post money on her was flushed. I saw a way out though. The Channon filly's absence left the way clear for Luca Cumani's Gossamer, so I duly loaded the gun for one last desperate shoot-out. Most of this weekend was being spent in the pub, and today was no exception. I was trying to impress some ropey bird that worked behind the bar, so I asked her to hold one of my betting slips "for luck". She did seem impressed when she saw the size of my stake, but after the horse ran like a drain and finished eighth there was no point turning to her for comfort. She had clearly decided to file me under M for mug. A couple of weeks later, that filly Gossamer trotted up in the Irish 1000 Guineas. I had a tenner on at 4/1. My last ****ing tenner, as it happens. Hey-ho.
I was actually at Musselburgh with my Granddad and Uncle. 3 winners in 7 races so I went home with more then I went with Horse Racing is ****e though.
I bet that I would run round the block naked if England won the World Cup in 1990. My sphincter was starting to twitch when they reached the semi-final.
