Get into poker. It is so much more fun & Skilful.
I love playing poker, just don't get that many chances to do it and I don't yet have the confidence to sit down at a real table.

I got both Fitzpatrick & Willett for Tied third so should be in profit.

Bit annoyed with myself as I have been following Karlberg & backed him a few times. Shame to miss him when he got his first win.
RE: The gambling/betting thread - madsteve - 21-09-2015
How are our long term bets doing?
Here are comparisons of our price with the current price.
Championship
Middlesbrough to Win (e/w) 11/2 (Now 6/4) Excellent, Going to Plan
Sheff Wed to Win (e/w) 28/1 (Now 50/1) Played 4 of Top 6 already so in false position
Huddersfield to be Relegated 4/1 (Now 4/1) Showing signs of life
Blackburn to be Relegated 8/1 (Now 7/1) Two good results in four days is bad news
Burnley Top North West Side 6/5 (Now 1/7) As good as won already
Sheff Wed Top Half 4/5 (Now 11/8) Great value at 11/8, more investment
Birmingham Top Half 5/4 (Now Evens) Still value at Evens
Blackburn Bottom Half 5/6 (Now 4/11) Happy so far
QPR Bottom Half 11/8 (Now 7/4) Could go either way but with Austin, doesn't look good
Leeds Bottom Half 4/6 (Now 8/11) Could go either way but still fancy this one
Benik Afobe Top Goalscorer 9/1 (12/1) Needs to get going & Austin staying at QPR is bad
David Nugent Top Goalscorer 16/1 (25/1) Two in two matches, should get 20+
Top Six - Middlesbrough 4/6 (Now 1/8) Would cash out singles but looking very good
Top Six - Hull City Evens (Now 4/6) Looking very solid for Top 6
League One
Swindon to Win (e/w) 18/1 (Now 33/1) Too inconsistent, looking unlikely
Barnsley to Win (e/w) 20/1 (Now 50/1) Will improve but top three is very unlikely
Bury to Win (e/w) 35/1 (Now 20/1) Matching expectations
Blackpool to be Relegated 11/5 (Now 1/3) Looking Good
Southend to be Relegated 4/1 (Now 10/1) Good week for Southend, Bad week for us.
Port Vale to be Relegated 13/8 (Now 5/1) Performing better than anticipated
Top Half - Burton Evens (Now 1/4) Great start, Looks Good
Top Half - Rochdale 6/4 (Now 2/5) Confident of this one
Top Half - Shrewsbury 5/6 (Now 13/8) Just haven't settled. Not looking Good
Top Half - Bury 10/11 (Now 8/13) Moving Along Nicely
Bottom Half - Chesterfield 10/11 (Now 11/8) Slipping after Good Start, More Investment?
Bottom Half - Walsall 8/11 (Now 10/3) Looking Lost
Leon Clarke Top Goalscorer 16/1 (Now 16/1) About where I Expected
Tom Bradshaw Top Goalscorer 25/1 (Now 10/1) If he stays fit, will be close
Paddy Madden Top Goalscorer 25/1 (Now 12/1) Keeps Scoring in Poor Side
Top Six Swindon 2/1 (Now 4/1) Looking Bad
Top Six Barnsley 2/1 (Now 6/1) Looking Bad
League Two
Portsmouth to Win (e/w) 4/1 (Now 10/3) About Right but Could do with Run of Wins
Top Half Wycombe 5/6 (Now 1/4) Happy
Top Half Bristol Rovers 8/11 (Now 4/6) About Right
Top Seven - Orient 11/8 (Now 1/3) Looking Comfortable
Top Seven - Northampton 13/8 (Now 6/4) Good Win at Weekend, On Course
Matt Green Top Scorer 25/1 (Now 33/1) About Right So Far
I think that Charlton look like good value for relegation from SBC at 4/1 so could be a good addition to the portfolio.

RE: The gambling/betting thread - Maddix - 21-09-2015
Had a go on the lottery at the weekend
It cost me £28m to do all the 14 million combinations 
I did win £4.7m but my bank manager has left an urgent voicemail about my overdraft limits
