Thought I'd have a little flutter

Wed Apr 03, 2013 5:03 pm

Arrived early at the stadium on Monday and thought I have a little bet.
Now I'm not a regular better and don't know a lot of the rules!!
I was in a bit of a rush and decided to put a correct score as 2-0 Cardiff and first goalscorer Whittingham, not knowing that he wasn't in the starting line up.
Hence my moaning as soon as I heard the team announced :cry:
One of the guys at work said, that I can get my money back? Is that wright? as Whittingham came on after the first goal was scored.
If not I have learned my lesson and wait another few years until I have another bet. :)

if you put this on as a double then normally no

Your bet would have simply carried on as a single bet on correct score i.e. 2-0

Sorry mate but Whittingham didn't score first and we won 3-0, so your bet is down I'm afriad. That's why the bookies always win. I put a fiver on every week for a bit of fun and haven't won for ages. I only needed Norwich to score away to Wigan last Saturday for £182 and they let me down! :lol:

I had a bet on Whittingham to score first with Coral on line, and because he didn't feature until after the first goal, I had my money back. :ayatollah:

That's spot on with first scorer.
If the player doesn't have an opportunity to score (ie not on the pitch when its 0-0) then you get your money back.

With score casts I don't know.

I done Campbell to score first and City to win 3-1 against Blackburn as a double 35/1. Oh well 3 points felt better.

My father always used to do a 3-1 scoreline, he had quite a few wins, i agree us getting 3 points takes the disappointment away. :ayatollah:
