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?

Who ate all the pies? We did!

Tuesday, December 30th, 2008

To celebrate another step close to our Million Quid a pie was baked, photographed and eaten. Hopefully we will bake, photograph and eat many more celebratory pies in 2009!

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 [...]

£9 Free From Blue Square - All Of It On Rangers

Saturday, December 20th, 2008

After last week’s Chelsea calamity, we were reaching for our wallets to recharge the account when we had some good news - Blue Square had given us a free £9 bonus bet, probably out of pity.
So this new Million Quid Gamble is off to a flyer with a £9 kitty instead of the usual fiver [...]

You booze you lose

Monday, December 15th, 2008

We lost. We’re not going to blame no-neck Bellamy scoring against the blues or fat frank for not taking his chances. We blame alcohol. Despite talking about MQG at length, new graphics, new ideas, new promotion we didn’t discus any new bets! Saturday was the same, although I’m glad we didn’t bet on Liverpool. This [...]

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 [...]

Friday, December 12th, 2008

My Mate Dave and I would be the first to admit that we don’t know everything about football or betting. If we did, we’d be millionaires already!
So we’re casting our eye Webwards to see where we can pick up some betting tips.

The All New Million Quid Gamble Chart

Wednesday, December 10th, 2008

Chelsea made it exciting on Tuesday, but as predicted they came through and earned us our second win.
Our £8 stake only turned into £9.14, but Rome wasn’t built in a day.
Here’s an all-new official chart to celebrate.
I’ve given up using the Wordpress Graph Plug-in and have turned instead to the slightly nerdier but-at-least-I-can-get-it-work Google Chart [...]
