New b/R $38.55 Just made 2 bets on Selby @ world snooker championship.. $5 @ 3/4 to reach semi final to win $8.75 (Inc stake)Also bet $5 @ 7/2 to win outright to win $22.50 (Inc stake) ....Aaaaagh . No worries though as b/r is all profit as previously mentioned Makes the next 17 days interesting anyway lol Gl me, ha ha Posted by devonfish5
Think there's some confusion there Dev.
$5 @ 3/4, if a winner, returns a profit of $3.75, or $8.75 INCLUDING stake. So you actually WIN $3.75, not $8.75.
$5 @ 7/2 returns a profit of $17.50, the $22.50 return includes stake, so you don't WIN $22.50, you win $17.50.

Ha, I'm just trying to help Dev. If we include our stake in our winnings, some seriously impressive but inaccurate ROI's would be in evidence.

Easy to avoid all these calcs by backing losers like I do.
Looks like PP have withdrawn the 'anytime assist' market I was the worlds leading expert on assists as well.

Thanks Tikay, there isn't any confusion...
A lot depends on how you look at/see betting/gambling.
Once you have made a bet or bets here, you have lost that money,(or at the very least have it in limbo),
As my b/r shows...it has dropped by $10, therefore you are winning back the higher amounts as I stated.
Anyway, It'seems tomatoes/tomato it's all down to how you see it.
Why dont you play on SKY POKER at microstakes then it will be far more relevant + u can post hand history etc. Also all English speaking players unless they are bladdered and in my experience far more friendly then any other site i have played on !!!!!!!!

Hi Alfie,
Fair point. I would play here if Sky lowered the rake & brought back the 1p/2p tables,(to fall in line with/be comparable with other sites,) as that's about as likely as me winning a World series bracelet I can'tell see me returning any day soon.
(No disrespect to sky poker either, as your DYM tables are the best to be found anywhere Imo, but your cash tables are not my first choice.)
That said, I have thought about withdrawing some of my roll & playing here again,(I have dabbled at the 2p/4p & 5p/10p tables a couple of years ago,) with no real success to speak of, hence my move away to try my luck elsewhere.
Never say never though but for now I am happy playing but more importantly winning on the other site.
I didn't intend this to become another diary,(or brag post,lol), which it is in danger of becoming, I just wanted to let old friends know how things were going for me, since my acrimonious departure a couple of years ago now.
Maybe I should stop posting if it is felt inappropriate, that's fine by me, I would fully understand.
(I've not been told by anyone at Sky Poker that I can't post & you all have the choice whether to read them or not...and yes I know many of you don't, ha ha,...but for the few that do I thank you for taking the time & hope it is of some small interest to you.
Lost a little yesterday but played OK I think so not to upset.
Things looking brighter today as Selby cruised through to semi final, so that's part 1 of my bet won,..hooray,
so I have $8.75 to add on to b/r in effect, (will wait until part 2 bet is completed ie; if he wins tournament & then b/r will be updated.
Run golden,
Dev.
$44.10 27/4/17
Had a little dabble on a 2c/5c table, had AQ all in on turn with A xxx board, value town had A5 so happy days.
Just need Selby to do the business over the next 5 days, (and win me $22.50....hopefully ....yes, we know it's only $17.50 in reality...let's not go there again, ha ha,...and I am moving up levels....hooray.
Just received my $8.75 winnings from Selby making the semi final.....
New all time bankroll high yes we know $3.75 winnings + $5 return if we are being accurate:)
Not happy with Selby's start v Ding but as we know it's a marathon not a sprint.
Time for another mini poker session I think.
Run good, Dev.
$53.62 27/4/17 short 'n' sweet
$54.62 28/4/17 happy with 5-5 still a long way to go, can only see Selby losing if Ding continue's to get the run.
29/4/17 12-12 changed my mind after yesterday's sessions, now think Ding is favourite to win but Selby isn't going to give his title away. Anyway should be a good final session today, gl me.

Good luck with both bets though.
If we win a £5.50 tourney with £100 for 1st place we wouldn't say we won £94.50 although the latter would be correct of course.
