Must admit, you can see how easy it is for people to get caught up in this betting malarky.
I rarely used to have a bet, maybe once a year on football and on the national but that was it. Last year I had what was (for me) a decent bet on Charlton winning the league which come in, then earlier this year opened a Paddy Power account. I won with my first bet on there, and just been playing with the winnings since.
Currently my account is six times what I originally put on the account six months ago, and if you include my Charlton bet from last year, I've posted something like a +600% increase from my stakes in the last year. My win ratio I suppose has been around 3 out of 4, which I knoe is well above the norm and mainly down to luck and limiting accys.
I'm deliberately 'fighting' it to only bet once every two weeks / three weeks, and will clear out the bulk of my account once it drops down to a certain point (which of course it eventually will), but its so easy to see how people get carried away.
Also United, NC to win and ArsvMC draw 5 returns 75
After a nice little win at the weekend, looking at throwing a bit on some cup games tonight. Liking the look of Wednesday, WH, Swindon, Swansea and Everton in some kind of combo. Thoughts?

I usually look on the app on the way home. Done a couple of accumulators on weekend footy and the CL and only won a bit when England played Moldova recently. Only ever a fiver put on and this one came in...FINALLY!! Must have been fate with United and Spurs both being one down to come back to win!
Newcastle to win at OT tonight in the Capital One cup - 11/2. That huge odds for a team likely to play a very strong starting XI against the Man Utd kids. Will be building my 5 team accumulator around that tonight.
Had some 10.5 on Villa at Betfair this morning. City will rest plenty and Mancini says he is not taking this cup seriously whereas Villa will be desperate for a resilt
Man City have blown my 22 team bet. Would you believe it. Would have won 10k for a 1.50 bet. 15 results right tonight with 6 tomorrow to come. Will be gutted if all 6 come in.

Been saying since Friday QPR are well too long at 13/2 today at Spurs, but forgot to back it. Currently 1-0 up :-(
Looks like I had a let off.
Looks like the loveable jermaine defoe has saved your bacon.
