Jeepers Posted October 17, 2010 Author Share Posted October 17, 2010 I have no stake in Betfred any more; besides, it never made a difference to my pay whether folk won or lost. Also, until proof is obtained, I shall regard your bet as fictional, and therefore of no consequence. Hows these phone calls to the BetFred branches going? You can regard at is fictional if you like. No skin off my nose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Rev Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 A bet's a bet. I can afford to spend ?1000 on a bet. Whats the difference between betting it on a talent show and betting it on a horse or a dog? A 9/2 shot is a 9/2 shot whatever the event. So the answer to my question is no then?

Jeepers Posted October 17, 2010 Author Share Posted October 17, 2010 So the answer to my question is no then? Obviously I see the difference. I just assumed it was precedent that every gambler on this forum had to provide proof of a bet before it was seen as legitimate. Or is it just those with higher stake bets?

If you start a thread boasting about how you stuck a grand on a TV talent contest, it's not unreasonable for those reading it to ask for proof.

Lower stakes are so much easier to believe, as you fine well know. Although I do remember one poster posting his betting slip before the event (It was Acey whilst betting on Hearts vs Elgin if I remember correctly).

Jeepers Posted October 17, 2010 Author Share Posted October 17, 2010 I never started this thread to boast, Acey. I was wanting to see if anyone else had punts on the X Factor, hence the title of the thread. Or indeed, if anyone thought it was a decent bet.

The Old Tolbooth Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 To be fair, Jeepers doesn't need Matt Cardle to win the comp if he sticks to his plan of laying the bet off when down to the last 3, he stands to win a lesser amount but a profit is a profit and I reckon going on the sound of their singing abilities that there are only 3 or 4 that can win it, and Cher isn't one of them!

H2 Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 I can't believe that anyone would put a large amount of money on something that is voted for by the British public.

Exactly, I've been watching these shows for a while. Sad I know. He seems to tick a lot of the boxes. Rags to riches storyline, quite shy and resvered about his talent. No gimics. Big voice. I'm telling you guys, bit of confidence and a little more styling and the guy could be a star (X Factor type star, not proper musical stardom).
