Swoops 'Put up or shut up' thread

[Swooperman]

............right, crickets quiet now, or certainly not as intense as it was, so i'm turning my attention more to football

I'm going to place all my football bets on here from tonight onwards, for a couple of different reasons, the primary one is that lately I have taken a fair amount of 'good natured' ( ) flak over my picking from various corners, basically questioning my footie picks & indeed my state of mind @ times....witness:

"well, I kinda just had you down as a typical english coupon, swoop" - Komp (anybody confused, this was in no way meant as a compliment )

"swoops had a winner ??....fcuk me, get the flags out !!" - Komp again, in cohorts with Kiko

"....you can have a bout of exhuberant optimism, otherwise known as Swooperism" - Was (an oap ffs !!....giving me shite )

"you sure about that, swoop, if your on it, I'm not !!" - Christianu in fairness I cant exactly quote Chris's words, but hes been giving me shit for ages & this is the kind of thing he'd say

& last but not least....

"swoop, that pick was diabolically shit, & you should just jack it in now & open a savings account" I think this was ODM....tbh, sounds like him for sure.

....so, Ive had enough & I'm going to put my money where my mouth is......hence the title of the thread I'll show you all you bastards

First picks I did put on the main thread, which I'll still do, with reasonings if not already mentioned

Juve/Juve 6/4 B365. 2pnts
Bayern/Bayern 6/4 B365. 2pnts
Derby v Coventry draw 11/5 B365. 1pnt

3 x 1pnt doubles & 1pnt treble

Arsenal 1/5
Juve 8/13
Bayern 8/13

4.58pnt treble B365

Juve/Juve 6/4 B365. 2pnts draw/Juve
Bayern/Bayern 6/4 B365. 2pnts draw/Bayern
Derby v Coventry draw 11/5 B365. 1pnt 1-1

3 x 1pnt doubles & 1pnt treble. 9 pnts staked, 3.2pnts returned

Arsenal 1/5 last minute winner with 10 men
Juve 8/13
Bayern 8/13

4.58pnt treble B365 returned 14.35pnts

13.58pnts staked, returned 17.55pnts +3.97pnts

Its a start on the long road to redemption

By the way it was all a joke above, I just thought it was a good way to start a thread although Komp & Was did say those things, & Chris has been taking the piss.....but its only fair to admit the ODM quote was utter crap, but he has probably thought it in the past

The reason i'm doing it is that I've learnt from cricket that I'm better when I'm focussing like this, as its as much the pride as the money tbh, not wanting to screw up, & I obviously do have a bit of a reputation to live down, as people only remember the bad days & not the 49pnt profit on international weekend
I put some really stupid bets on my own team on monday by rushing, after I'd originally said I didnt fancy them Then last night I was rushing again & didnt get on 3 I fancied & they all won, actually, it was 4

[ONEDUNME]

Well done on the profit mate

By the way, can you make a mental note of the Arsenal late winner with 10 men and then remember it when some 90th minute equaliser fucks up your bet in the near future.

I find it helps me to cope when I do it

True Onedun

Had to sweat for ya money tonight eh Swoop

[Swooperman]

D'you like your quote O ?? sounded just like you I thought

[Swooperman]

I deserve it for that shite on monday Kop, turning on my first thoughts....still I put you off the Villa so it wasnt all bad I suppose

[Kop66]

Very true, you did put me off the Villa

Yes I must admit it had me thinking for a while but I was pretty sure I hadn't said it.

Unless it was late on a Friday night after I'd been on the piss

UEFA Cup thursday

I'm not a short price bloke tbh, but I like all of these & some are early ko's so I'll look at the later stuff after work.

Shakhtar Donetsk 2/7
Feyenoord 2/7
Lens 2/7
Roma 1/6

.......this is one of those bets you do once in a blue moon & when it screws up you remember why you said you'd never do one of them again
