Alan McBride at 200/1 worth a quid of anyone"s money I would have thought - guy is on form!

Indeed...got mine!
-
Bets placed.
I won"t say who I"ve bokked, but I"m one of them. FML!
-
I"ve
backed bokked 6 of you lovely people.
:D
-
150 -1 are you joking!!!
I will not back myself at that price - have my results in the online league not been taken into account!!!
I rufuse to back myself at such short odd! 1000-1 is more like it!!
-
Bets placed - none on myself at those odds - do they not know DTD has a bar ???
-
Hmph.
-
Hmph.
9 amends have been briefed to Blue Square. You"ll be amongst them. We"ve suggested 15 to 1.
-
I"m unbackable!
-
Fair play Bl Sq. phoned up and they let me have a nice chunk of 9 runners :)
-
How did they come up with these odds? I can"t possibly warrant as good a price as 150/1?!?!
Surely 200/1 is slightly closer and more accurate (although still nowhere near my actual odds)...
I also have two friends playing, one of which has never played an APAT event and is also 150/1 instead of 200/1?
I"ll be placing quite a few bets either way ;D
-
Does anyone know the maximum amount you can bet.
I have tried placing a bet but am getting a message to say "stake too high". (and it wasn"t that much)
-
Max = £20
-
How does this each way thing work? I"m not really a gambling man outside of poker so not sure.
Is it like top 3 or something instead of winning outright?
-

1/8th of the odds for top 9

Each-way bets on 9 places at 1/8 odds
-
Ah right cheers, will probs just stick few more horses to win outright than each way...

how about bettng on who will hit the rail first?.
-
how about bettng on who will hit the rail first?.
Too easy to rig. All in with 72o on first hand ... job done.
-
good point.....didnt think about that, stupid idea i guess...

Dont agree - you would probably go on to win it playing like that. :D

I remember something like this happening in a tournament (think it was in DTD) where a few guys had a last-shorter bet, resulting in some of them getting all-in on the first hand, trying to persuade their tables to call them.
-
Hmm last time i was 100/1 I put a bet on myself n won...can it happen twice LOL
-
Are there any rules about betting on yourself to win? Is it legal?
-
Quite legal. As previously suggested there may be an issue with betting on yourself to lose in the first round as this could be achieved quite easily, especially if you are me. ;D
-
;D Thanks for letting me know.
-
Great work ... some very interesting prices in there.
Top of my boks
John Miller
Neil Blatchly

Colchester Kev from blonde was one. Think Andrew Tracey might have been another.

6 in total Kev won & made a £5 profit, I told my table I was going all in 1st hand, there was no caller >:(

Toby Lewis no longer in the field. Anyone know Blue Square policy on non-runners in this market ?
-
you will get your cash back after event
-
Blue Square have been issued with an updated player list and we"re awaiting their amends.

Probably not. A quick call to customer services at Bl Sq will sort it. You will then need to put money into your sportsbook account or transfer over from poker account.

Thanks for pointing this out Mark. Mistakes do happen and we"ll get Blue Square to add the extra zero in the morning. ;)

Will they update this market before kick-off on Friday?

no problem, knew it couldnt be right....everybody knows i blow up before the final table! :P
-
40/1 is hilarious, no-one should ever be 40/1
even 66/1 isn"t credible.
I"ll lay anyone even money that i think a player with odds of 150/1 or higher wins the main event, up to twenty british pounds :)
the first person to accept can consider the action booked :)
EDIT: WYoung83 action booked
-
me......whats you name? im playing friday. take that bet on.
-
I find it strange that in an event with around 300 runners, not one single player is 300-1 or, as should be, worse than this price. Where are the 400-1 shots? Can we all be better than the average for this event? (Note: that"s impossible ::))
How can 200-1 be the outsiders in a 300 horse race? No wonder the favourites are such poor odds!
Do they really believe poker players don"t understand odds and are ust ripping us off?

I agree with this John, but at the end of the day it is just a bit of fun. BSQ wont make much money on this due to the £20 limit put in place
-
whens the updated list next getting altered?
i wanna bok myself! lol
-
me......whats you name? im playing friday. take that bet on.
rich hinds, playing friday too, if you are will young you were at my table at the start of day two in the irish championships.
also i got you E/W when you too were 150/1
but anyway, anyone wins with odds of 150/1 or greater at the start of play, I win
anyone wins with odds of 149/1 or lower, you win
:) i posted a copy of the prices in case they are removed by bluesq here:

Sweet. Cheers Rich. im a sucker for props....if you remember what i look like then come and say hi.
I agree with you about it beign crazy for 2 players to be 40-1. They may well be the best players in the room, but evan if phill hellmuth shows up, i wouldnt bother putting money on him to win, (and what would the 0dds be then 10-1?).
Apat events become craapshoots towards the end of day 1. And there is way too much luck involved, with surving coin flips over and over, i know most tourneys apart from the $10,000 main events go like this at some point. Maybe with 300 runners this tourney could be better though. More chips spread over the last 2 tables and final table etc....
Wow, iv just seen that i have gone from 150-1 and now at 80-1...., i should not be 80-1.such a big jump A few peoples odds have changed actually.
-
Will is the one with the baseball cap welded to his head ;D
-
Hi will, people probably had bets on you, or someone placed a huge bet on you.
Alternatively, B.S. are reading this...lol
Cheers
Paul Mac, how was your curry ???
-
Hi Brian, been off line for a bit, found any keys lately...Hehe, c u @ Dtd
Paul

hi paul...the curry was nice, couldnt finish it though. the naan breads were huge. see you at DTD.

I think the two being at 40/1 is less to do with the odds BS think they have of winning, but more a reflection of the amount that has been bet on each of them to win it (probably by the players themselves). The new odds are just a reflection of the action on them.
in the case of neil blatchly i believe this is true as its indicated on other forums he has backed himself. but as for ben turnstill the price is laughable, ben was put in at 40/1 and hasnt had a penny on himself nor as far as i know nobody else has either.
i hope not anyway because ben isnt actually playing. he perchased a seat a week or so ago hoping to but has since tranfered it to a friend. apat were informed a fair while ago and was hoping blue square might adjust there market accordingly.

Just for the record I have had a bet on 9 people including myself at 66/1

LOL. Thanks Paul.
I guess 40/1 is rather too short for Rooks then... ;)
-
Amends have been sent to Blue Square and they should be updating today. No further amends will be sent as we will now be focussing on running the WCOAP.

Out of curiosity, did this get sorted, if so, at what odds, and who had the so-called "wads" to lose ?
And are they laughing now ?

Charles got one of the 6 additional seats late on, so wouldn"t have been on the original betting list
-
So I should get paid in full for backing Jamie as he was placed first out of everyone who BSQ offered. I cant help it if BSQ didn"t price up the winner. they didn"t even have a "any unnamed player" price.
I"m good but cant work miracles
-
yeh and this stuffs up my prop bet with Rich.....what price was the runner up anyway...was he 100-1

Perhaps BSQ had "inside info" on Charles, and declined to offer a price?? ;)

This is going to sound bad but I had stream of relatives on Bank holiday Monday saying "What happened to my £2 E/W bet you said you would put on for me, you said you"d most probably be 200-1?" At least I have this thread for evidence, hope mods don"t delete it ever!
-
I think the only liability they had on the final was Bagley- me and Neil had some action at 200s- if he"s won I"d have won 2.5k and neil 5k
