Anyone else see this Someone posted this on a boxing forum I post on .... had to laugh when I realised where it was!

I'll be betting on ICT for the first time in almost 5 years... yet to see the odds but I'll be placing money on Draw half time/ICT full time. Foran first scorer 1-0 ICT & then I will return back to earth. Dundee United will never win the league.. they'll do well in Europe this year I fancy but their domestic form will suffer.

Me and few boys did this 2 years ago for the Burnley friendly.... Blackpool is a hell hole but we made the best of it, hopefully you manage to do the same. Wildcats is worth a look if it's still open Too much on at the moment so wont be going down

definitely a moan If Esson got injured in pre-season would you be happy starting the season with a 19 year old with no first team appearances? Says it all really. Strong statement from Tel and suggests that Tuffey knows he is No.12 (for the moment anyway) and now Esson has the reassurance that he's numero uno. Tuffey had 2 terrific games against us, from the 2 I saw at Fir Hill, but from what my mates tell me (and from what I've read so far on Pie & Bovril) he is far from the finished article but no doubting he will be a terrific back up to Esson. His wages can't have been great from Plastic Thistle and there is no mention that a fee has been paid so far... I don't think Butcher could have found anyone better to warm a bench

Last year there was a competition on this site to design the strip although I don't think any of them were picked It was probably Mike Smith (General Manager???) last year and now his replacement, Darren erm... something? What about FUBU or Wu wear? Don't pretend you wouldn't be happy with a FILA strip... that's all you used to wear back in high school!

:angry: :lol: that is fecking terrible... especially compared to their strip last season, which made me jealous tempting fate because ours isn't out yet but :lol:

I'm still waiting on confirmation that Tokely's signed a contract :angry:

:angry: Good signing but he isn't the finished article and I think Esson will still be out number 1. I know a few Partick Thistle fans and they say Tuffey is a terrific shot stopper but he is known for having his 'off' games... apparently he had one of his best games of their season against us (and he was outstanding) but I don't think it's fair that we expect that sort of performance from him immediately. At 24 he has the best years ahead of him as a keeper and with Esson pushing on a bit we'll probably see more of him in the next few years

Thanks. Do you have a date yet for when the new strips will be instore?

This is the key sentence in their reply. Because of the dead heat rules your ?2.50 stake on the win part of the bet was divided by 4 making your stake ?0.625. You got this at 9/1 giving profit of ?5.625, plus your stake of ?0.625 = ?6.25. The each way part of the bet was settled at 9/4. Your stake was ?2.50 giving profit of ?5.625, plus your stake of ?2.50 = ?8.125 (rounded up to ?8.13). Total retrurn = ?6.25 + ?8.13 = ?14.38 So they have'nt done you out of ?2 yip, I knew my higher maths would come in handy one day nice one thanks for your help

slightly different from what Smee is talking about but if I go into a sub forum, select "mark forum as read return to board index" on the forum options, I still see the new posts icon at the sidebar so basically it always shows that there is a new post. Not a big issue just thought it worth mentioning

That's the reply from Skybet, first time I've used them and didn't see they seperate the profit from stake on the returns page. Makes sense I think although if they are returning my original stake as seperate from the profit I would have thought: original stake ?5 in total ?2.50 split 4 ways @ 9/1 = ?6.25 ?2.50 @ 9/4 = 5.63 Total = ?16.88 ???? not really bothered for a couple of quid but trying to get an understanding of how it works more than anything.

You must've got ?80 for predicting the finalists as well . Not bad work fella . Thanks..... cleared ?100 but as sanmig says, it's all been spent already

Sorry for being a simpleton (and I really am when it comes to betting odds) but if Villa was second top scorer my odds must have been better than evens for an each way bet if starting at 9/1... or not?? Can't get onto skybet at work so will email them for a breakdown when I get home but I can't believe it's such a small payout

Yeh I enjoyed the tournament but felt too many teams failed to deliver...... France, Italy, England... even Brazil and Argies when it mattered. Almost every team apart from Chile played 4-5-1 and it meant there was a lot of stale mates and very tactical games which have their own appeal but you ultamiltely want to see plenty of goals in a major tournament and there wasn't Basically because the smaller teams weren't as niave as they normally are it made for a very cagey competition

see that's the impression I had and I was hoping there was some mathematical wiz prepared to show the calculations (for a jens lehman) to how my ?5 bet made on odds of 9/1 (all be it e/w) have only paid out a piddly ?9.38, less than evens!!!! :(

me too mate ^_^

Thomas Mueller was top scorer,you have been given a percentage of your winnings for e/w i.e third or fourth Mueller is top scorer as per fifa ivo assists My bet had nothing to do with assists it was purely made on goals scored and Villa is top goal scorer but shares the prize... no?

Right I picked Villa ?2.50 e/w @ 9/1 odds and received ?9.38 winnings .... i.e p!sh He is still technically top scorer so I am struggling to see how it's worked out with such a small pay out tbh it's probably a very simple calculation but I'm struggling .. any help would be appreciated cheers

?25 for picking the winner ?9.38 for Villa each way.... feel free to try and work that one out?? :( Disappointed tbh... had high hopes for the dutch but Spain deserved it on balance of play.. Paul the psychic octupus can go stick his tenticles up his erse

I completely agree, would love to see a player in the team who has a dangerous set-piece, adds more scoring potential It all seems to have gone quiet with him, last i heard Dundee were buying him, any word on whats going on with him? na not heard anything... I doubt he'll be coming here though if Butcher isn't wanting to spend cash... also he seems to prefer players from down south

We have been lacking a decent set-piece taker for sometime.. Hayes takes corners at the moment only because he's too small to win a header but some of his corners have been absolutely mince. That was really why I was shouting my mouth off that Butcher should sign Bob Harris.. as well as filling a position he is more than capable of scraping us the odd point or 3 from dead ball situations. I hope that one of our new signings is capable of scoring a freekick or 2 because it could be the difference between keeping us in the league.

Owen Hargreaves has better luck with injuries from the sounds of it... but Marvin Andrews managed to play with 1 knee in the SPL with the faith of god alone so you never know.
