    NB - There are also instances where you can't lose

    e.g Mahatmacoat Fc V Gandy Athletic

    Both teams to score markets
    Corals Yes 11/10 No 8/13
    Hills Yes 4/6 No 11/10

    £200 on each guarantees £20 profit.
    You'd be surprised how many times this happens <ok>

    I almost certainly have a gambling addiction so I am in.

    I'm in, but can't be arsed with playing off two bookmakers at once. I know there is profit there, but no thrill in that for me.

    I've been involved in this game for over 30 years as an expensive hobby, contrary to what TC says such incidences are very rare.

    Betting firms employ armies of professional layers & traders to avoid this happening.

    You will certainly spot the occasional over price on Betfair, but not with the big on line or High St firms.

    Get on Charlton tonight Don, 13/10.

    I also think Everton are a massive price at 9/2 - Man Utd score about as often as @baraettmattesvensson does.

    13/10 isn't a great price IMO.

    Zlats is back for United, but that isn't a bad price for Everton <ok>

    I'm surprised nobody fancies Rory McIlroy for the Masters.

    Wouldn't touch either - we are and **** and United have Herrera, Pogba and Ibra back. Everton have a few players out as well.

    I don't like doing it either - and got done like a kipper once when I had £300 with Corals on the yes market and went to place £300 with Bet Victor but message came up with maximum bet for that market was £50 - needless to say the no scoreline came in!!


    So if a few of you are interested, this site http://www.flashscores.co.uk/ lists most of the days fixtures - just a case of clicking on certain games and looking at the results of each team.

    e.g. Tonight's games

    FC Koln v Frankfurt 7PM KO

    Kolns last 8 games
    L 2-1
    W 1-7
    W 4-2
    D 2-2
    L 0-3
    W 3-1
    D 1-1
    L 2-1

    So both teams have scored in 7 of last 8 games

    Corals have them both to score tonight at evens

    I have tried that before but when Bury drew 0 - 0 with Fleetwood after losing 13 games in a row I just think what's the point checking facts and figures :/. That game cost me 2k

    Hugely naturally talented player, should have followed Faldo's example and built a swing which would withstand the pressure of winning majors. Early days yet..

    Excellent weekend of betting.

    Lord Windermere each way in the National at 40/1.

    Very hard to see past Southend today too.
