Germany were good, but made to look really good thanks to an inept Scottish performance.

FFS, Bumfair decided to cancel another bet during half time - you never know your position with these flipping monkeys running the exchange!
Preaching to the choir. ;) Between Germany scoring to make it 5-0 and the goal being disallowed, I had a closing back order matched on over 5.5. Now I'm left wondering if BF will cancel the back bet over the next few hours, leaving me with a losing lay.

You have to credit the Scots for leaving the stadium singing. I've lived near Carrow Road for 15 years. You won't see Norwich City fans with as much as a neutral face when they've lost. :lol:

Racing Blogger picks a loser again, in a match with a clear winner!

He should get a Betfair account.

I took a similar view as he did, but traded the BTTS market. (No) - Back @ 1.9 Lay @ 1.19 at HT. (3-0 HT)

If he'd traded the market with his stake at the same odds as mine, it would have looked something like this.

The market would have been liquid enough. +£877 is better than -£1500

Admittedly, I thought about letting it run, but I was trading and had to stick to my plan.

Rudiger is now the joint top scorer for Scotland in major tournaments in the last 25 years :)

I lost sound on ITV1, so I switched it off and on again, and bingo! :D

Looks like ITV have the lion share of the group stages, at least.

Great liquidity on the OUs, 6-figure sums at times.

Someone in the 2.5 market lobbing 180k bet in 239k matched at 1.97 Wish all football markets were like this it's liquid gold.

Bet 2 was £3.61 on Over 1.5 Hungary v Switzerland. Profit £1.84. £5.45 onto Bet 3

Conceded to a dreadful 10 man Scottish team.

Personally, not convinced at all

Scotland's best chance was to harass and sneak one. Porteuos's "tackle" was inept and reckless. Passion and commtment ar important, endangering another pro's career is another.
Switzerland look a very tricky opponent for Scotland. The Scots need their best players to be brave. Wear that Saltire with pride on wednesday.

I see Blogger doubled his stake on his next bet after his recent loss. Always good to see good money management in place.

Why does he bet in bookmakers where he gets 10% less return and has to wait half an hour for his bet to be accepted? Something fishy there.

None of it makes any sense.
