    I have had so many that were nearly good wins.

    This one still haunts me on the Europa League games this season,

    Dnipro v Inter Milan 8/5 win
    Fiorentina v Guingamp 2/5 win
    Everton v Wolfsburg 11/10 win
    Legia Warsaw v Lokeren 4/6 win
    Napoli v Sparta Prague 4/7 win
    Sevilla v Feyenoord 4/9 win
    Standard Liege v Rijeka 21/20 win
    Steaua Bucharest v Aalborg 8/15 win
    Dinamo Zagreb v Astra 10/11 win
    Salzburg v Celtic 6/1 lose

    would have returned 1214.73 from 1 euro. We * led twice aswell :31:

    Also last season when Atletico beat Chelsea 3-1 at Stamford Bridge and Fernando Torres scored first, I had a scorecast of Torres and 3-2 Atletico at 425/1 and Hazard missed a sitter in the last minute, heartbreaking..

    I remember betting on Liverpool to beat Sunderland that season when Sunderland got about 4 points all season but managed to win this one. Did the same when Derby failed to win in about their first 20 games until I bet on the opposition and suddenly they turned into world beaters!

    My worse was balotelli and 2-0 Italy.

    Frog eyed Ozil scored a pen near the end to make it 2-1.

    Few years ago I had a mental £1 coupon for 4k, Blackpool let it down.

    Not really unlucky considering the odds.

    I get unlucky every week near enough, teams that have not won in 10 games etc just happen to win the week I back against them :smiley-laughing002:

    A week before christmas i put 5 goals scorers on. Trebles, 4 folds and accy.
    4 came in so was guaranteed £480 but was waiting on Defoe for spurs against Wigan for £2.5k and it's a 0-0 draw with Defoe hitting the post and missing a sitter. Still won a fair bit, but could have been better.

    Another one i had £5 on 4 draws. 3 were up, and the other game was at 90+ mins in, score was 2-1. It went 2-2, i was jumping about, thinking yasss £550 up. Same team score again withing about 30 secs game finishes 3-2 :31:

    On holiday in Tenerife when Arsenal were playing a CL qualifier good few years ago, 2006 i think it was. I was reading the paper and thought Cesc and 3-0 seems a great price, 90/1, wee 10 euro on that would double my spending money. I couldn't find anywhere i could put a bet on, and of course it comes in.

    I had one a few years ago.

    £50 treble. Worth £680. First two teams won. Cardiff were playing Peterboro away. Cardiff were leading 4-0 at half time. The final score was 4-4.

    That's probably the sickest one I have ever had.

    Found the match report. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/eng_div_1/8426500.stm

    I've had x3 £20 Five Folds in the last 5 weeks with 1 team letting me down each time worth £2700, £2300 and £650. Going back to Four Folds I think. Quite often it's only the 1 team that lets you down !!

    * brutal, Celtic played 6pm that night which was a good thing in a way as I wasn't actually waiting on them, otherwise I would have been cracking up during the match.

    Another sickener I had this season was a CL bet, Olympiakos beat Juve and I had a draw, let me down for around 600 off 2 euro.

    Had an accumulator worth £11,000 go down on the last leg last season.

    Seattle Seahawks to win the Superbowl
    Chelsea to win the league
    Yeovil to get relegated
    Kris Commons to win POTY
    Dundee to win the league
    Dunfermline to finish second in League 1
    Peterhead to win League 2
    Juventus to win Serie A


    They all came in except Chelsea who were still in the running up until 3 or 4 games from the end of the season. Well gutted. That would have been a once in a lifetime bet.

    I think that would depress me. I think it was last season a lad who lives near me was let down by Real Madrid for 35k off a fiver. They were playing one of the weaker sides in la liga aswell, were 1 up and lost 2-1. Horrible.

    The one a couple of weeks ago, Wolves on a 10 unbeaten run * my 9 fold for £1400.

    Also a few years ago when William Hill done the "blockbuster coupon" I picked 14 teams and Yeovil drew to * me out of 11k or something.

    I remember giving my father a £5 to put an accumulator on for me for the Grand National in 1980 and was celebrating them all coming in in their proper places until my da came back and told me he forgot to put the bet on.
    *

    Odds were
    1st - 40/1
    2nd - 11/1
    3rd - 33/1
    4th - 20/1

    Was furious.
    Not sure how much i would have won.

    I hope you're joking. I'd be doing a stretch for murder if that happened to me.
