    Interesting article here regarding own goals suggesting that they represent nearly 9% of all Premiership goals

    That is interesting Mtoto, I’ll allow more for the chance of an own goal in future – although may not be continuing with football betting after this tournament. :good:

    I scored a couple own goals in my playing days
    Funniest one was a own goal assist. I was defending a post from a corner, the keeper went for the cross but half misjudged it and on his way down dropped the ball to the feet of one of their players who side footed it towards the middle of the goal. I had read the situation and got to the ball before it crossed the line and absolutely belted it first time but unfortunately the keepers reactions were too quick and he had got up and dashed back toward goal. The ball hit him clean on the forehead and past me in a flash. He was down for ages, I didn’t like him all that much either.. :yahoo:

    Great story, Nathan. :good:
    I was always pretty rubbish at football. Although did score (in the correct end) as a substitute for Romsey in our 13-0 victory against Millbrook B – in the Boys Brigade Cup first round. So when hearing Millbrook “A” were our opponents in the final we were very confident… Serves the “manager” right. By that time bloody obvious the reason I’d been substitute was because my dad had a Sherpa van (the transport).

    Spain didn’t have much to beat once the first goal went in against Slovakia. Still seem over-rated in the markets.

    LAY Spain @ 0.66/1

    Opposite of the Denmark Belgium match.
    “Cashed out” my Lay Spain bet (admittedly for a loss) just a few seconds before their third went in.

    I thought you may have done 😂😂😂😂😂

    Purely clueless, waits til it’s 3-1 then pretends to have layed back at 2-1 for a loss😂😂😂

    TheN Croatia equalise and would have landed the original bet but pretends to have had savers. Ginger has this game by the balls.

    Comical. This football game isn’t for you.

    How is the 40pnt back of France getting on 😂😂😂
    England out tomorrow evening and Belgium and Denmark out next game 😂😂😂

    You couldn’t make this up😂

    Unlucky with the 40 points win bet on the heavy odds on shots 🙈

    Chin up. Maybe try an 80 point win bet on Gareth Clowngates England against Germany 😂😂😂

    If looking back on this thread; I could easily have remained silent when Belgium got back into the Denmark game, ie could have claimed a nice win… But instead told the truth – that I’d cashed out for a loss. The bet struck less than a minute before the Belgium goal. ie No time to put the bet up on here before Belgium scored yet I wanted to tell the truth. Just like I told the truth about the game today and yet you say I “pretend”. LOL

    You also say I:
    “Pretend to have savers” Where? What savers did I have on the Croatia game? :unsure:
    Only bets on that game were: Laid Spain and then cashed out at a loss, ie no “savers”.

    If I am pretending am not doing a very good job at pretending. :rose:

    I’ll leave you to decide given my record whether I laid France back when they were leading 3-1. ;-)

    You’re right, I am not a football expert, as said – this tournament is my first foray into serious football betting and it may well be my last. Started well, a few bad results, then got back in profit before slipped again. Profit or loss will depend on what happens in the remaining games.

    Am not like you Robbo, I don’t look for conspiracy, don’t exaggerate everything into great or useless, exaggeration just doesn’t work when looking for value. Still wish you every success Robbo.
