Pithy as usual Kai.
But that was not a performance of a favourite of the remaining 8. That was teetering on the brink and they got away with it! Better teams could bring out the best in them
Can't query your odds Dublin as I have no records but if true fractional then with, for example, an 8/1 (decimal 9.00) the profit is 8, not the return with stake. Therefore your 'Returns' figure is the profit. Interesting find.Dublin_Flyer wrote: ↑Sun Jun 30, 2024 11:50 pmGlad to see England got something for their efforts in the second half. It was the old cliche of a game of 2 halves certainly. The Georgians scoring first in the later game got me thinking.
Boylesports paying out on a team scoring first could have backfired spectacularly backing the underdog with results so far, so I had a looksie. Odds I used were B365 which are different from Boyles, but not vastly different :
Group stages
Albania v Italy (17/2) +8.5
Poland v Netherlands (21/4) +5.25
Romania v Ukraine (15/4) +3.75
Belgium v Slovakia (11/2) +5.5
Portugal v Czech (5/1) +5
Croatia v Albania (13/2) +6.5
Scotland v Switzerland (7/2) +3.5
Slovakia v Ukraine (23/10) +2.3
Georgia v Czech (7/2) +3.5
Switzerland v Germany (5/1) +5
Scotland v Hungary (9/5) +1.8
Croatia v Italy (2/1) +2
Netherlands v Austria (15/4) +3.75
Georgia v Portugal (8/1) +8
Returns: 8.5+5.25+3.75+5.5+5+6.5+3.5+2.3+3.5+5+1.8+2+3.75+8=64.35
Stakes (total games): 36
Profit: 64.35-36 = 28.35
Last 16
Switzerland v Italy (9/4) +2.25
England v Slovakia (8/1) +8
Spain v Georgia (12/1) +12
Returns:2.25+8+12=22.25
Stakes: 3
Profit: 22.25-3 = 19.25
Total profit 28.35+19.25 = 47.6
Someone in Boylesports marketing department who signed off on the idea is probably going to be called into the HR office in the morning
: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EJ1bEoPCokYTheres a strategy I use on 365 to abuse their 2ups. Have to be selective though. Im going to share the strategy on this forum when I eventually get gubbed. Im currently +8k , started a year ago.Dublin_Flyer wrote: ↑Sun Jun 30, 2024 11:50 pmGlad to see England got something for their efforts in the second half.

What exactly did he do?
Grabbed his crotch? Well. It's his crotch. If he wants to look like a wazzock, that's his choice. A ban for that? We've lost our marbles!
