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 [...]

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, [...]

Chelsea to beat West Ham

Sunday, December 14th, 2008

We did well to sit our hands yesterday. Liverpool v Hull and Spurs v Man Utd were always too close to call.
But today, Chelsea really should do for West Ham at Stamford Bridge. The Blues have another chance to go top and the Hammers don’t stand much chance of stopping them posting their first Premiership [...]

Beware Of The Arse Rangers

Saturday, December 6th, 2008

This is what I think: w MQ Win At the Double! £5 bet to win £8.
North and South of the border working in perfect harmony.
Let’s hope the Pro Evo Predictor and Real Life agree!

Hold my Hammers while I nail the title

Monday, December 1st, 2008

I’m flying solo on this one. My Mate Dave is out playing 5-aside and then we’re going to the opening of WalcotMart in Bath (think Westfield for hippies) so we’re not going to be able to have a pow-wow and then get back on the computer in time to place a bet before kick-off.
Much less [...]

How Are The Mighty Fallen

Monday, December 1st, 2008

Well, if not fallen, then at least neutered. Saturday was an exciting day for the Million Quid Gamble, with Celtic and Leicester doing the business for us, only for our treble ambitions to be dashed by the goaless draw at Villa Park.
From the highlights on Match of the Day, it was anything but a bore [...]

It’s OK Alistair, we can save the economy!

Saturday, November 29th, 2008

Desperate times for the Chancellor of the Exchequer as he tries to stimulate a shopping boom by cutting the rate of VAT by 2.5%. I don’t know about you, but when I was down the shops yesterday, everywhere was plastered with 20% off signs. And it doesn’t take a genius to go to the Money [...]

We Win! We Win! We Win! We Win!

Monday, November 17th, 2008

Chelsea and Manchester Untied cruised to victories this weekend, turning our fiver into the princely sum of £7.42.
Don’t laugh! That’s a better return that you’ll have got on the stock exchange all year.
In fact, we’re probably doing better than most banks and hedge funds. At lease we haven’t been to the government for a multi-billion-quid [...]
