Well here is my accumulator. I never have Saints on there as we always seem to screw up. When we lost to Sheffield United I had a 6 team accumulator and Saints let me down. That's the latest of many. I have the below and a single for Saints though 3-2.

 

Any of you lot have an accumulator? These are ALL home teams.

 

10 Fold Accumulator(s) @ 47.58/1

 

Manchester City

Chelsea

Derby

Sunderland

Tottenham

Watford

Shrewsbury

Wolves

MK Dons

Barnet

 

Stake £5.00

 

Potential Returns £242.90

Don't normally put Saints in my accumulator but have today (but also stuck a tenner on Palace to win because 1/5 seems decent value)

West Ham

Stoke

(£2 on - £155 return)

 

I also did another one because I was bored...

Swansea

West Brom

Spurs

Sunderland

Derby

(£5 on - £107 return)

Could be in defectors watch although clearly he have forgiven MP and is now wishing success upon Spurs.

 

With all the families that have been effected by those with gambling addictions I am surprised the mods allow the encouragement of such a thing to occur on this forum.

I have also not betted my house on these games, you will note it is £5, which is less than many household spend on the many lottos out the. Come to to think of it, you spend more on a pint and a half or a pack of cigarettes.

 

Stop moaning!

Agree and long for teh old days when you couldn't even see into a bookies - now they draw you in by tempting adverts in windows like £10 on Jose Fonte hat trick and Saints win 7-3 to win £340. So hard to resist.

Well I did have a bet on Saints. There are some FA Cup games and we are in the FA Cup still. Like the other Saturday's/Sunday game threads when we are not playing..... They stay in here.

 

As someone who knows someone whose family had their home repossessed due to their fathers gambling addiction I find this thread and the promotion of gambling on this forum offensive. Gambling is abhorrent and so many people have a blaze attitude towards it, no thought for those who lost and the effects it may be having on them, its sickening that gambling is being promoted on a family forum. Mods please act.

You could have spent that £5 on taking your children for an ice cream, instead you're selfishly fuelling your addiction and the perverse excitement you derive from this vile industry.

If everyone took every thread as personal or related it to a personal issue in their lives, then many threads would be deleted. Ok there are some very sad cases of gambling the are very serious, but I do sensible bets for fun. Nothing serious.

 

I too know someone who has lost a lot through gambling, but as last checked it is not illegal to make a bet.

They can still have that ice cream if they so wish! They can also have dinner, clothes and heating!

I'll show this thread to my friend and she'll no doubt recall the time she sat on the stairs of the housing association with her younger sister and mother, a few clothes stuffed into plastic bags, waiting to hear if they had anywhere to sleep that night, I'm sure she'll agree that gambling isn't serious and just a bit of fun.this thread is offensive, not saints related and promotes gambling which ruins lives, as usual the mods won't act though.

Or worse still, they advertise on TV using attractive blonde ladies, who would be better off flashing their norks on Page 3.

What's not to like about a virtual blackjack game where a Ukranian beauty welcomes you to the table personally and smiles before dealing herself BJ and apologising. I don't ask for much
