All sports betting is an occasional thing. I wish breaking was tooEspecially the "Red Hots".
Especially the "Red Hots".
Great story! There's some hardcore punters out there for sure. Easy come easy go. The really good punters - and they make up less than 1% of all punters - are not addicts, bet to win, and can walk away. They also do not chase losses.
What about the dishlickers!
Have a fantastic story about the old greyhounds........many years ago a contractor I worked with had some Greyhounds and he told us that one of them was racing at Dapto that night and was a sure thing!
He was ringing around family and friends to borrow money to bet on it as he was convinced it would win!
We asked why he was so certain? Well he said he had been feeding it everything and anything he could to make it run slow in the previous races, but for the last week it had been dining on Coke, Pepsi, Coffee, V Drinks, Red Bull and probably lots of other illegal stimulants!
So a mate and I heard this and thought what the hell.... so we each put $25 on the nose.
As the race started it was paying $13.50 or there abouts for the win.
Watching on TV this dog got out of the gates like a scalded cat and won the race so well we think it actually lapped the other dogs...... twice.
Happy Days...... my mate and I collect our $300+ each from the TAB and are on our way!
Next day at work the contractor comes into work bleary eyed and not in a good mood......we thanked him and asked him how much he had on his dog last night....... the answer was $1000........so he won $13,000+ and was upset?
Turns out he bet all of it on other dogs and lost the lot!
Moral of the story is if you win $13K on a juiced up dog, count your blessings and call it a night!

If the VAR doesn't spoil the party I'm about to collect at 54 minute mark Sparta 2-0. Yeaha.Hot tip for tonight. Sparta Rotterdam to upset Feyenoord. Bet365 has 5.5 with early pay out if Sparta lead by 2 goals at anytime.
Can we get a punting section/thread going. I think the public will respond
I think I mentioned this one before. A match in the English Premier League had to be called off at half-time due to power failure about 15 years ago. I think it was at West Ham. Criminals had sabotaged the Electricity supply including back up generators. Again, certain Asian bookmakers would pay out on the half time result no matter what the circumstances and millions of dollars had been bet on this match, lol.
Not quite matchfixing as no players were involved but big bets went on at half time and then the lights went out....
I hadn't heard that one. That's crazy.Not to mention the fake IPL games that were set up as part of a betting ring!
A fake version of cricket's Indian Premier League - set up to con gamblers in Russia - has been broken up after police arrested the gang behind it.
The elaborate hoax saw the conmen hire a farmer's field in Gujarat and set up cameras to film the bogus games.
According to reports, labourers and local unemployed people were hired to masquerade as players and created fake team names, with the players wearing official IPL kits.
The games were then streamed live on YouTube to unsuspecting betting operations in Russia.
The Times of India reported that a local man who could do a good impersonation of commentator Harsha Bhogle was brought in to add authenticity to the footage.
"They had umpires with walkie-talkie sets to officiate as they have in IPL and international cricket matches," he said.
"The setup was good enough to trick unsuspecting people into believing it was a genuine cricket league."
Mr Tyagi said the umpires were telling players whether to score runs or get out depending on the instructions they were given on the walkie-talkie sets received from the organisers, who in turn were receiving instructions from an accomplice in Russia on the Telegram app.
Betting on cricket is illegal in India, and the four arrested have been charged with criminal conspiracy and gambling.

A friend of mine worked for a fairly prominent law firm in the city a few years back with some very shady clients.
Anyway, group chat gets a message about this particular Victorian Premier League match on the Fri night coming up that he'd been told the match would be 3-2 scoreline, had already been fixed, and the links to the only bookies covering it.
So we all went out there, it was one team with a Nazi background vs another team of eastern Europeans with strong views on ethnic cleansing too. This group of very white private school lawyers looked very fish out of water.
80 minute mark and it's still 0-0. We've spent thousands between us on this stupid bet that clearly isn't happening.
In the next fifteen minutes that follows, there's three of the stupidest red cards you'll ever see, a goalie own goal and two penalties along the way but we got the 3-2. Couldn't get out of there quick enough. We got a similar tip for the week after but the bookie cut us off and none of us wanted another piece of that crowd.
