Coupon busters

[Kaiser Soze]

Did the Goals Galore bet on Saturday (both teams to score) and Exeter were the only team to let me down (lost 1-0 at MK)...........would have netted £3,800. Did an accumulator the same day and Burnley were the only team not to win (lost 4-0 at home to Reading)...........cost me over a grand.

 

Anyone got any tales of similiar let downs or is my luck just sh1t?

I was almost let down hideously in the FA Cup 1st round last season... my slip:

 

 

Most of them were quite comfortable, but Wrexham won 1-0 in the 92nd minute and then in the final game, Burton Albion v Oxford City, it was 2-2 in the 96th minute, and then Burton somehow scrambled a winner

 

Had a couple of accumulators in the Champions League this season that have been stitched up by one result, nothing costing anywhere near the amounts you're talking about though.

I had 3 big wins last season, but I've been raped constantly this season. Totally ridiculous results.

Good thread. We've all got a story of 'I would have won....'.

 

Paul Groves is still my most hated player. Made even worse when he became Pompey manager for a short time a few months back.

 

Anyway this c##t scored a late winner for Grimsby (against Bournemouth) to win 2-1. I had this game down for a draw. My other 9 came in. It paid just over 16 grand for a quid bet.

 

A close 2nd for most hated player is Robin Van Persie. Remember that game at Highbury when Saints came from 1-0 down to go 2-1 up? Remember this slag scoring with a long range shot with the last kick of the game (well over the allotted injury time) to get Arsenal the draw? I dunno why but I really fancied Saints for this game. I put 50 quid on them at 20/1 (yep twenty to one) to win the game. It was not as painful financially as the above accy but being there when that goal went in was painful. I almost couldn't move out of my seat when the ref blew for full time straight after the goal. This was THE definition of being gutted.

An absurd 7 minutes I believe, I swear the referee was going to carry on until Arsenal equalised
