BarryWhiteRFC My trouble is I don't come on the site often, and I do my footy bets sat morning so I can only tell you what I'm thinking of betting on. Also the £5 on Gerrard was a spare of the moment thing. I don't mind people saying afterwards, it doesn't exactly matter. I just find it interesting to read what people bet on. No idea why people are making such a fuss about it tbh.
I think it's all a tad pathetic, it's the an internet forum, get over yourselves ffs.
It's called jealousy, Barry.
Those in question don't like hearing someone's made profit when they themselves are at a loss, and by picking on the fact that some of us post our selections after the event they are venting their frustrations.
I'm much like yourself, I usually place my bets before leaving the house for the football on Saturday morning, and will spend most of my time before that researching form, head-to-heads, injuries, etc. My priority isn't telling people I don't even know about what I'm betting on, whether there is need for banter afterwards or not.
I do sometimes post a selection of games I've got my eye on, but then once I've carried out my research I dwindle that list down and produce the most likely doubles/trebles from it.
I've also delved into my betting techniques/strategies and shed some light on the sort of selections I make, thus contributing to the thread in my eyes. If those in question are questioning my integrity then as I've said before, I can supply proof of my selections, but at the end of the day, this is a discussion forum and I don't see what the big deal is.
If the 'thread is dying' then I'll happily hold my hand up and won't post in it in future if it pleases certain people on here.
EDIT: I've also noticed that Villa are Evens tonight. I can personally see a draw, but for anyone thinking Hull's poor form will continue then you've got a good change to double your money. I might take a stab, not sure yet. Hull were shocking last week.
