Hey parksy sorry I didnt give you my insight into why Forfar were such a top bet today
Had them in a double with Alloa, who were playing a County youth team, was given the nod this morning that an ICT player who has singed a pre contract with them was trying to get 500 quid on Alloa this morning in a shop up north from a pal of mine behind the counter, something was up.
By the time the team lines came out it was confirmed that there were TEN changes from the Airdrie game! That was too late to post it up here for anybody to see, it wasnt a total secret though.
Gutted I didnt profit from it, got cocky and threw in Forfar, who were flying after 20 minutes 2 zip down ....
A punter in the bookies I work in wanted £400 on Rotherham today, the guys dodgy as f'ck and didnt get it on, he wanted it at about 5 minutes to 3, we couldnt confirm there was no early score/kick off and had to phone the bet in, we were told not to let him get it on. He wouldnt accept the bet being made void if there was a goal first couple of minutes, which we wouldve let him have £100 on @7/4.
Theres been word on a few websites (inc the punters lounge) that the game was fixed. Not sure if I believe it, I do know Grimsby hardly had a squad to put out, though that could easily be their way of 'fixing' a game the way County did.
I had 2 minutes before kick off today, which my mobile in hand and my
Betfair account code written on a slip of paper, ready to make the call, knowing fine that there were two teams playing today that were possibly certs, one at 3.6 and the other at 2.3 ! Absolutley gutted, really was a once in a lifetime opportunity to put a hammering bet down
