Right this will probably go completely tits up but heres a live demonstration of how you cant lose on Betfair (NB a 89th minute scrambled saving bet may be involved).
7.27pm 40 quid Newcastle at 3.95 20 quid the draw at 3.55
more to follow if necessary...............

7.58 Not looking good for Newcastle so laid them 40 quid at 3.70
Hence profit on Newcastle was 40 x 0.25 = 10 quid
Still have 20 on the draw at 3.55

Right, just completely bottled it and laid the draw at 2.7 to 20quid. Hence profit on the draw = 0.85 (3.55 - 2.70) x 20 quid = 17 quid. Total profit = 10 + 17 = 27quid. Weighed in at half time too, how easy is that ;D Welcome to the House of Fun ![;)](http://www.mysmiley.net/imgs/smile/winking/winking0070.gif)

Ghost, you are one of my fav posters on B&A with your betting threads ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) ;D Some one must be losing otherwise this company would go out of business. I do not understand any of it, and do not wish to. But keep posting I always read it four times over and think this guy is in a world of his own. ![;)](http://www.mysmiley.net/imgs/smile/winking/winking0070.gif) ;D

I did very nicely out of the Norwich game. Made £17.The Sunderland game went a bit tits up though. With a minute to go I put a tenner on there being under 2.5 goals, then Sunderland scored another. Bugger. I won 70p from the Arsenal / Liverpool match and now I have wasted my winnings on Everton / Spurs finishing a draw. I started with £50, and have ended up with £50.

As at 8am Saturday there has only been 75 quid bet on the Town game and it has all been bet against me ![:o](http://www.mysmiley.net/imgs/smile/scared/scared0015.gif) I have "layed" farnborough which means if Farnborough win I pay out, but if the Town win or draw I win. I have had to offer about 650 quid potential losings against a potential profit of 150 quid to do this, but fully expect this to come up, and can always do some damage limitation bets late on during the game if it is going Pete Tong ![;)](http://www.mysmiley.net/imgs/smile/winking/winking0070.gif) So far people have accepted half of the bets I have offered, but its early yet and I expect the good people of Farny will accomodate me ![::)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/eyesroll.png)

At 10.40 a total of 464 quid has been bet (all my 150 now taken so game on ![;)](http://www.mysmiley.net/imgs/smile/winking/winking0070.gif) ) Match odds currently stand at Farnborough v Shrewsbury - Match Odds Farnborough 3.2 to 1 Shrewsbury 2.04 to 1 The Draw 3.1 to 1 Translating that into bookies odds its roughly Farnborough 9/4, Shresbury Evs, Draw 2/1 Lot of money gone on the Town to win in the last hour. I wasn't that brave but someone somewhere still believes (Kickin is it you ![;)](http://www.mysmiley.net/imgs/smile/winking/winking0070.gif) )

There's no in-running on conference games is there? Am I missing something? Or do you mean with bets on the permiership?

made £16 on the Town winning today. Started my account with £50, now got £63 2 days later. I fancy having a few quid on Newcastle and Arsenal drawing tomorrow.

Arsenal do seem to be in Go for it mode so over 2 goals in that game is my only bet all day tomorrow tomorrow ;D
Trousered most of my weeks winnings but risking 50 quid on that.

Well, I too decided to put my cash on more than 2 goals. I put £17 on (I started with a tenner but the odds starting getting better just before kick off and I got greedy!). By half time I decided to lay it all off so whatever happened I would only be £10 out of pocket. Then I decided to put £10 on Arsenal winning, then with 10 minutes to go I put £30 on there not being another goal. In injury time I bottled it and laid the lot again, and by full time I only lost £2. Could have lost £50, so I am quite relieved! I'm off to check what odds are being offered in the snooker later ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

Pilch, if you offered some odds on betfair you would probably be looking at odds of 1/4. The book seems a bit quiet though so you might not find anyone who wants to take the bet.

My Mrs got a right bollocking for hogging the PC all afternoon (she was tracking a trailer tent on e-bay in an auction which finished at 5.45 and led the auction at 3 times during the last half hour and still lost!) The Draw at 1.5 to 1 with 8 minutes remaining would have been my get out, but couldn't get it so sadly lost ![:(](http://www.mysmiley.net/imgs/smile/mad/mad0177.gif) Pilch, the only way out seems to back whichever team you think will be third in the "to be placed market" Currently 2.12 to 1 Aldershot, 2.82 to 1 Barnet or 2.02 to 1 Exeter, so all over even money, just a case of picking which one after guessing their scores on the run in ![;)](http://www.mysmiley.net/imgs/smile/winking/winking0070.gif)

My other half got the computer too seeing as I was watching the game on TV. I did manage to prise her off of it every so often to update my betting 'stategy'. Off topic, the best way of bidding on ebay is to use a sniping tool. Go to www.auctionsniper.com and sign up - they will automatically bid for you 5 seconds before the end of the auction. It stops bidding wars and on the whole I have found I am picking up items for less than I would if I was manually bidding!
