OMG this is why I need to wear my glasses when placing bets..... actually had city and Madrid to win with barca and bayern to draw...... don't know whether to let it ride or cash at at £12 and put that on Barca and bayern to win?

See how it looks at HT. Might be a decent cash out if both are 0-0.

True

went 0.5+ pre match and then 2-1 City in play.

Stopped checking my phone after about 70 mins expecting it to finish 0-0 thinking I'd lost £50!!

Never been so happy to win £1.51 in my life when I checked later on!

Surely you covered it? Works out to only a couple of quid with the exact stake placed to cover it.

no, not bothered last few times as always expected goals!

Think I will in future lol

I'd imagine 365 made a fortune from people bottling it and cashing out last night...

Their twitter feed is always full of people moaning that they didn't get a refund on their in play bet 'cos they cash out their prematch bet (even at full time). It does make funny reading.

It clearly states in the T+C's that both bets have to run to complete the deal (unless you cash out in-play for a decent profit, obviously).

I didn't cover 0-0 either, was getting concerned for 10 mins or so before the goal

Yep it got me the first time I ever did it, they know the majority don't read the t+c that's where they're making the money

Just had a look through the Snooker Worlds betting (a game I think I know a lot more about than golf or horse racing)

The Rocket is obvious favourite but 15/8 is too short given his mental state sometimes, so there is definitely some value to be had elsewhere. That said, if he's on it, no one should get near him. The only player that seems to be able to get to him is Selby, and he wouldn't meet him til the Semi's.

Assuming Ronnie wins his half of the draw, the value would then come from the top half (if you're gonna back anyone else each way) and Bingham is too big at 25's although history would suggest he won't successfully defend his title.

If Ronnie isn't on his game then Selby at 10's or Murphy at 12's would both stick out from the bottom half of the draw.

Finally, Ding Junhui seems to have hit some form in the qualifiers (10-4, 10-1, 10-2), so if he gets drawn in the top half in tomorrows 10am draw, he's certainly worth a small EW punt at 20's too.

In summary, Ronnie should justify favouritism but at 15/8 there are better priced players in the betting with EW 1/2 odds for reaching the final.

No odds on a 147 on the the sites I use but definitely worth a few quid, given the standard the top players play to now.

Had a simple treble tonight; Barcelona and West Ham draw no bet and Bayern win.

Griezmann & Suarez to score, 10+ corners, Gabi, Godin & Rakitic to be carded @ 150/1

Has to be worth a fiver!

This seems a bit generous...

Looks good.

Good luck all. I've actually had West Ham to progress rather than draw no bet.

West Ham letting me down for £67

Cashed out for £21

You'll be gutted if they both end in draws!
