"Any Gamblers?"

Registered an account with William Hill the other day and deposited £10.00. Had a bet that Ballack would score at anytime in the match and also had Van Nistlerooy.

Van Nistlerooy got me some money back.

I then decided to gamble them on horses to day and find myself with nothing left, making me feel sick even though it was only £10.00.

To make things worse I've just deposited another £55 and stuck it on England to beat Switzerland tomorrow to get a return of £84.14.

Just hope we win tomorrow or else I'll never sleep.

Anyone got any good tips?

I was thinking the same.
EB 1-10 it seems to me is you thinking what 10-1 means.
1-10 means you get 1 back for every 10 you put down!

Can you withdraw your money now though?

Usually takes a few days to get to your bank account.

I'm £6.30 up now France won. Also had Rooney to score at anytime.


The money still hasn't gone into my bank.

Thats the decimal odds. 1.22 and 3.40

Basically telling you how much you will win per pound you bet. I always use the decimal odds. Much easier to compare bets.

Czechs will probably lose to Germany as Nedved and a few other star players are likely to be rested.

Looks crappy, but you get the idea.

Lost £40 on Rooney to be first goal scorer and 4-1 score

Damn Croatia

I won £330 on Rooney to be first goal scorer and the 3-0 score on the Swizterland game

Blew all the money on clothes and booze
