I often bet on City games (had today's down as a draw after convincing myself that Walsall wouldn't beat us). You have to put emotions to one side. Really the side you follow/know best should be the best to bet on/against. I had City at 5/1 to beat Leeds last season....cleaned up in an accumulator!!

i violated a couple of golden rules in the jpt. betting on your team and it's rivals but got the turks/scum and city results right. delighted with a 35/1 shot though even though i wish i'd lost it!

Lol, I know exactly what you mean!! The way I look at it, if I back Argyle to win and they get beat....it's money well spent!! I tell ya, when we play them in the JPT/League I'm going to lump a wedge on the Greens just to in case it goes tits up on the field.

Done it tonight. Got £10 on Brighton. Not gonna make a lot but it's sort of an insurance bet. Would take a point now though and lose the £10.

Not enough! Wanted to be all big about it and put £100 on as I thought it was nailed on we would lose but I bottled it and just did the £10. I have £15.73.

Pretty pointless really but all good.
