Mifune is betting hundreds of pounds on an Alan Pardew side to lose. Remember the day.

<laugh> This. It's absolutely mental.

Plus if we don't win everyone will blame you Mifune. Cash out. <fist>

Someone at work had £20 on (I think) Giroud, Kane, Ronaldo and Mandzukic to all score a header @ 200/1 <laugh>.

I put a fiver on Spain to top the group with Croatia second, Germany to top the group with Poland second, Iceland to qualify and Slovakia to not qualify, returns about £125 <notbad>.

Putting £50 on England vs Wales to be over 0.5. Then with free £50 in play bet (Bet365) putting it on Wales to win, or maybe just Wales 1+ handicap.

Over 0.5 seems safe. I think it'll be 1-1 which would also mean your Wales +1 handicap would come in.

I'm £60 up so far (a few small correct score bets have come in). Think I'll quit while I'm ahead <laugh>

I've put money on Bale to score at any time and the game to be a draw.

Don't think I'll bet on this one as I won't enjoy the game as much.

Think if you make it so you can't lose then they can ban you <scratch>.

Anyway I've put £30 (my total profit so far) on England +1 to get more cards than Wales. Then I'll either put the £30 free in play bet on Wales to win or England to win and Smalling to get the first goal.

I'd rather have the cash tbf anyway rather than see England get through only to f*** up later!

It was only to stop me feeling utterly devastated if England were to lose Dave.

It wasn't a Scottish person's bet.

I've been behind England through and through this tournament Dave and I too feel your heartache, I also suffer from the 50+ years of hurt. I myself sang 'Three lions on a shirt' even when I know that factually they aren’t actually lions at all but most of all I’m still dreaming. Just like you Dave, I am still dreaming.

The money just soothes my aching heart.

And pays towards replacing my tattered old Saltire to fly anew when Scotland kick ass in the World Cup qualifiers

How would I get odds on us finishing in the premier league top 4 the season after this....? As crazily optimistic as it might be I'd like to know. Feel like I'm on the crest of the NUFC wave at the minute wth the changes being made. No doubt it will be the usual boom/bust cycle though.
