THERE was no joy for Punting For Fun (Rod) or Long Shot Lee on a frustrating Sunday of too man draws.

Rod's run of four winners in a row ended as Bruges lost at Kortrijk while Lee also fell at the first hurdle with Man Utd failing to beat West Ham.

Rod and Lee are playing to see which type of betting will profit over the course of the month with £50 of betting vouchers going to Rod if he wins.

Lee's single or accumulator must be a minimum 10-1 and Punting For Fun's can be as short as he wants but must be odds on.

Tips must be posted every day – if anyone misses out Lee will be deducted one point and Punting For Fun five points.

    Only just checked yesterday’s thread. My tips didn’t publish. Any problem Mr F?

    Shame. That was nine out if ten today.

    Keeps my balance at 51.79 then.

    For the record it was Rangers v Raith, Augsburg v Frankfurt and Bilbao v Barca all over 1.5g paid 17 to a 10pt stake.
    But it didn’t publish, so I can’t claim a win after the result. That’s the easy bit!!

      Punting For Fun, putting this up now – let me know if any get beaten. If it’s a winner I’ll check it out.

      Mr F it’s down already and disgusted with my choice of selections no matter how bad the football looks for me i will NEVER take tennis over it ever again.

      I am seriously not amused i did tha, and makes no diff now but i had a few drinks last night when i picked them but not enough drink to make that an excuse.

      Punting, I gather that from the comments – we’re always learning. And yes I’d never put on a line with a few drinks. Good luck for tomorrow’s bet with a massive card to consider.

      Harpreet, I sent you emails last night – did you read them? What we’re doing is for your benefit after the complaints you made. The other option is the one I gave you – I don’t see any others at the moment.

    Unlucky, PFF. Vesnina lost 3-6, 3-6. Couldn’t hold serve and made endless double faults. No contest really. Onwards and upwards though!!

      Yeah sonny when i seen the game she had only converted 2 out of 11 break points or something and had a few double faults then i seen her break early in the 2nd and thought here we go how wrong was that to be :-(

    Well PFF if you have a change of heart and decide to stick with the tennis, tomorrow we have Murray, Wawrinka and Raonic in what look (on paper) pretty easy matches. Treble gives about 1.24……but wonder which one of them will mess it up ???

      sonnyboy never never ever will i go down the tennis route as a selection for this trial and more than likely i will never ever do tennis again.

    Punting for fun, drink can have a strange effect on people lol, but joking aside you’re doing well, still in profit, you tried something different which didn’t go as planned, c’est la vie or as I like to say S*** happens lol

      Shah thx for the reality check m8 it is a sore one for me tho, seriously unhappy about it but as you say try and move on and just try to put this to bed and lesson learned.

      You know the other thing that is doing my head in i was only going to put 5 points on it as well because i was not that confident in doing anything for some reason.

    • Avatar of Punting For Fun
      Punting For Fun 10 years ago

      Double whammy as well when i think about it as i did the bet on betvictor and the curse of victor struck me again.

      They have an uncanny knack of taking my money at ridiculous odds on prices as well.

      Spot on again Ian well done m8 I am gutted because I never seen any 2nd div Dutch games last night when I looked for footy games but I seen them today and I always remember someone saying there is a glut of goals in that league.

      To add insult to injury I did a over 1.5 goals in 3 of the games all came in good for my balance not so good for the trial :-(

    Feckin sending off early doors will put paid to my treble. Unreal the amount of times 1 team lets you down whether its a treble or a 6fold.
