Nothing wrong with a few euro bet to make a game more interesting!
I’ve a very one sided friendship with paddy. He takes all my money and gives nothing back
The Bookie always wins!
I’m thankful that I lost both times I tried placing bets, i’m afraid it would have been too easy to get hooked had I won.
Yeah the house always win in the end. Even the lucky ones who win will give all their money back to the bookies on other bets.
Gangsters
The only way to make a small fortune from betting is to start with a big fortune. But Georgie Best said it best; “Ive spent most of my money on fast women and slow horses. The rest I just wasted. “
Let’s start a collection
The only ‘canny punters’ are of course the ones who arent swayed by paddy powers ‘wacky’ads and keep their money safely tucked away!
I allways do my daily betting with Paddy Powers I make a few hundred euro every week.Tea coffee on hand and I bring my own sandwich some days …Life is good
I unsubscribed from PP when I learned that it took them four years to discover that their security had been breached.
In my case I didn’t care Joe. Nobody’s gonna steal my losses;)
The Paddy Power Messenger app beats Ladbrokes any day! And if you’re reading this, Paddy, could you please lift the limits I can bet on the horses for my account? Cheers bud!
Got an email from Paddy this week that he was going to charge me because of no account usage for 16 months, did I read it right? anyhoo I put the €1.44 remaining on Arsenal to get stuffed last night
Sweat, alcohol breath and lost hope…….can’t beat the smell of the book makers
I genuinely feel sorry for people who need to bet money to make a game of football more ‘interesting’ . giving their hard earned cash straight into the hands of a transnational corporation who only care about getting your €€€ with their cheap and tacky marketing campaign .
have your say
