It's called the indecision bet, or... hey, it's not like it's real money


:)

Actually I just wanted to see if it would let me

Clarity,
For some reason, I felt the need to bet on Euro 2004. Since
I'm now bottomed out, I sure hope you consider the idea of a 500 bump to start football season.




:boohoo: :boohoo: :boohoo:

Portugal will have the home crowd behind them and the more talented team. They lost to Greece 2-1 in their first game of euro cup but I smell vengence.

Now I know why I don't gamble in real life. 0/3

Lol, don't feel too bad. After a short-lived confidence boost from the Maria win, I dumped both Euro 2004 and the Wimbledon Men's Finals.

Lesson learned? Lol, I'll stick to football.

You're not kidding. I originally asked to bet on this match, and then chickened out. I just couldn't decide.

Portugal: World Cup winning manager, highly talented, playing in their home nation, but with a reputation for underachieving and having lost to Greece once already in the tournament.

Greece: A good value, having already beaten Portugal and having a quality manager in their own right. A winning strategy, but seemingly being very lucky, playing in a hostile environment, tired after the extra-time win with one day less rest, and having no notably talented players to speak of.

This is why I don't bet on sports much. I can never make up my frickin' mind.

Don't feel bad I got burned pretty bad too, I still can't believe Greece won.
