3 games in and we haven’t lost a thing!

Monday, August 31st, 2009

Rock-a-doodle-do! Million Quid Gamble is back in business and we’re doing better than ever before - 3 games of the Premier League have passed and it has yet to cost us a quid. Because we haven’t placed a bet yet.
But there are plenty of tasty games coming up to whet our gambling appetite.
We’ve decided that [...]

Don’t mind him, he bet on Barcelona

Sunday, March 22nd, 2009

Here we go again! All I wanted to do was spend the afternoon watching Aston Villa (try to)  beat Liverpool, but Dave has decided we should get back on the road to winning our Million Quid.
To which end, a brace of bets on the leaders in the Spanish league - both at home, both sure [...]

Chelsea and Milan Beckhams

Saturday, February 7th, 2009

No, I’m not entirely sure what that heading means either.
In short, we hope to be back to winning ways after a couple of weeks off, with a double.
Chelsea to beat Hull at Stamford Bridge - surely the Blues will have learnt to win by now?
And Milan with Beckham to beat whoever it is they’re playing.
We [...]

FA Cup not a knock-out for Million Quiders

Sunday, January 25th, 2009

Dear Reader,
Yes, you, our single reader. We’re really sorry for not updating more and more often recently.
Our silence started after the shock of Man City being done at home by Forest in the third round of the FA Cup.
In between then and now we had a nice double on Rangers and Barcelona, but this weekend [...]

Mark Hughes Sacked By Next Christmas?

Saturday, January 3rd, 2009

Man City’s zillionaire owners aren’t going to put up with this much longer, are they?
Humiliated at home by a team 4th from bottom of the next division down?
It must be costing them a fortune - and us too!

FA Cup Third Round Betting

Saturday, January 3rd, 2009

It’s the exciting round of the FA Cup when anything might happen - and probably will.
We don’t expect Chelsea to get shocked at home like they did at the hands of Barnsley in the Carling Cup, but at 1/10, there’s not a lot of point backing the Blues to beat the other Blues.
So we’ve looked [...]

Even Newer Experimental Million Quid Football Betting Chart

Tuesday, December 30th, 2008

Please bear with us while we experiment with a chart that shows the running total of our negativity - or positivity as the case may be. Sometimes. But not very often.
Oh. It seems that Google Charts can’t plot negative numbers. Or have I missed something?

Liverpool Yes - Chelsea Oops

Friday, December 26th, 2008

Earlier today I exchange a couple of text messages with My Mate Dave, who suggested we back a Liverpool & Chelsea double.
I paid a cursory glance to the football schedules and for some reason concluded that Chelsea were playing tomorrow, so decided to ignore them and plump our not-so-plump kitty on Liverpool.
We won, of course, [...]

Rangers bet gets us back in the game

Sunday, December 21st, 2008

1-0 is never a totally convincing scoreline, but we were happy enough to see Rangers beat Hibs yesterday.
We had a £9 free bet from Blue Square, which was nice, but when we won they didn’t let us keen the £9, only the winnings. Godammit.
So we’re £3.27 to the good and stroking our chins over the [...]
