gowestjambo Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Ladbrokes 12/5 Dunfermline, thanks very much! Last 3 results loss to Gretna now defunct Draw then pens defeat to Glentoran, sorry guys it may go against the grain but it was obvious to me that the bet was Dunfy at home! No disrespect to our new manager, and I believe it is in the best long term interests of the team, that no lucky results should lead anyone into a false sense of security! Jose Mourinho could not make a team worthy of Hearts out of the journeymen our new manager has inherited! Unless a complete clear out is on the cards, more easy money is to be made! now who do we play next.....? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the new guy we have talks the talk and I hope he walks the walk has a clear out, helps coach the young guys properly and at least has a yes or no say prior to players being signed.

gowestjambo Posted July 16, 2008 Author Share Posted July 16, 2008 Dirty money. Gives me no pleasure to see Hearts get beat, but if we benefit in the long term..... Now if the hobos were a cert to lose wouldnt you take advantage? The places you spend it in dont ask where it came from! besides it's my way of getting some of my money back from Ladbrokes....!

Betting on the hobos to lose is not the same as betting on your own team to lose. Don't get me wrong, if you rhink it's a dead cert by all means go for it, but to come on here boasting about it afterwards is of poor taste.

shaun.lawson Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 Personally, couldn't do it. But then again, I never bet Hearts to win either, just in case I jinx them! One Saturday morning in early April 1998, I bounded down to my local bookies to stick a tenner on Hearts to win the double. Oops! We almost blew the semi-final that very afternoon (which is sometimes forgotten: imagine how different our modern history would be if we had), and immediately lost form and fell out of contention in the title race. No folks, it wasn't because key players got tired, and the season finally caught up with a small squad: we blew the title because Lawson S of Pinner, Middlesex jinxed us. A lesson painfully learned. As for betting against Hearts: I certainly wouldn't do it on an individual match basis, but last season, did slap thirty quid on Dundee United to win the SPL minus the OF. I plead a student budget, and very attractive odds - but as a result, was in a bizarre, horrible position in which a Hearts win against United near the end of the season would spell disaster for my bank account. It wasn't a pleasant feeling at all, and I won't be doing it again: ditto my sportsman's bet with a Celtic-supporting mate that Rangers would win the title, which especially after the events of Manchester, left me feeling dirty, and delighted to hand the ?20 over to him once the season had ended.

Welcome to our world! Oh God! Why did he do that?! The following season, Spurs played Arsenal in the League Cup semi-finals. At half time in the second leg, with Spurs ahead, the tannoy announcer at White Hart Lane started reading details of ticket arrangements for the final, for the benefit of the home fans. You can pretty much guess the rest. Indeed, a rivalry that at that point had nothing to choose between them quickly became massively one-sided, and still is. Nothing to do with the genius of Arsene Wenger, or incompetence of Irving Scholar: it was that tannoy announcer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was way before Wenger was manager at Highbury anyway, would have been George Graham would it not ? Talking about bets, remember reading on here people who bet money on Celtic to beat us in the League Cup game at the piggery. Couldn't believe it at the time but found it funny that they lost !!!

Yes, indeed it was. What I meant was that Wenger's most people's idea of the main reason behind Arsenal's transformation - though of course, Graham restored them to prominence after, 1971 apart, decades in the doldrums. The weird thing is contrasting Graham's very good side (only one defeat throughout the 90/1 league campaign was, at the time, regarded as extraordinary) with Wenger's: it's like comparing different clubs, and different sports!
