CHAMPIONS LEAGUE 2008/2009 -> OFFICIAL $100 BETTiNG THREAD
 

Anyone interested in doing this again?

UEFA Champions League 1/8 finals have been drawn today (and some great games are to be expected)

Here are the matches:

Chelsea - Juventus
Villareal - Panathinaikos
Sporting Lisbon - Bayern Munchen
Athletico Madrid - FC Porto
Lyon - Barcelona
Real Madrid - Liverpool
Arsenal - Roma
Inter Milan - Manchester United

let's do some betting again and bet on the winner. Basically by specyfing a winning team a person agrees to pay $100 to the person who guessed the correct winner of the competition (that would be around May 2009 I think). Only accepted payment method is epassporte. If you can't pay by epasspore, you're not allowed to enter this competition.

A team can be chosen obviously only by 1 person. If, lets say, 10 people participate in this competition, then if a person guesses the correct winner, everyone else who participated will pay him $100 by Epassporte.

IMPORTANT: people with very recent join dates or very low postcounts, may not participate. Reason is obvious, if someone is a regular GFY'er, then he will not disappear because he has to pay 100 bucks to someone. While if someone posts here every 4 months or joined just recently then he hasn't made any reputation for himself yet. And yes, problems like this happened in the past.

Anyway, I start with naming Barcelona. So... 15 teams are left :thumbsup

aahahah i was gonna take barcelona as well... why do you get to start? damn it

Inter !!

someone has to start :winkwink: but come on, LOTS of other good teams

this is mainly for fun anyway

I just did a search for your posts and ALL of them are in contest threads. I have a feeling if you lose, you'll forget about this contest, and if you win you'll be here immediately to collect...

I might enter this competition, very hard to pick a winner this time around with all those excellent teams.

Here we go again :) As the undefeated champion of “GFY CL betting threads” I will go with Chelsea this time.

Chelsea!

I have no idea this time... Liverpool seems strong (If gerrard and torres plays). Man u is always good, but barca might go far too!

true but still, i had picked Barcelona before even the CL started... unbeatable this year!

what ? I have no idea what you wrote but
I hope you win, don't care about the rest lol

i hope Arsenal gets it =) good luck betting.

Blackburn Rovers

But one has to be Real

WTF :mad::mad:
why?

I'll take Arsenal.

i put my $100 on real madrid, nigga!

and there goes your money .........

omg your sig is hilarious

aahahahah no shit...

lol

no, not lol'ing

:( The last couple of seasons Ive had Barca and theyve always let me down, as they are picked then its no good for me this year.

There are some really interesting games here. I'm pulling for Chelsea (as always).

It says my outlook is sunny and warm - too bad for the folk where it's a blizzard :winkwink:

Even money on all teams? Ridiculous !

Here is a link to the ACTUAL odds on each team winning from all the major UK bookmakers.

Your money will get a much better return.

Ive come out of sulk mode and as no-one has gone for Man Utd I will pick them. I just hope that fucking Barca dont win this year.

Its not even money, but dependant upon how many enter it can be like 5/1 or 10.1 on all teams. Its just a fun sweepstake at the end of the day, or as we like to think of it, Donnie's annual collection from all the usual losers :winkwink:

I hate the Champions League ! Bah !!!
























(Celtic fan) :(

That's a pretty cool bet. Should be very interesting. Have fun

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

So how many confirmed do we have now?

It looks like this right now (as far as I can tell):
Polish ? Barcelona
Donnie ? Chelsea
Lee - Man U
nico-t ? Real

There are more posts but I really can?t tell if they are confirmed bets or not? Maybe Polish can sort it out?

win for Liverpool

I see GetNaughty is in with Arsenal! So the list is:

Polish ? Barcelona
Donnie ? Chelsea
Lee - Man U
nico-t ? Real
GetNaughty ?Arsenal

Gotta be Manchester United for me, they won the World Club Championship this morning plus are the current European Champions & English Premiership Champions.

Ok, Polish took my main bet so I'm going with Inter

Zlatan FTW!

so why don't you pick Liverpool?

well, almost everyone here has epassporte. It would be hard if someone wins and only can accept epassporte and others would insist on paying with paypal/wire/something else. Or if someone who doesn't have an epassporte account wins and then all the other people who would prefer epass payments, need to find alternative methods to pay him...

anyway, the bets so far in the order they were received:

polish_aristocrat - Barcelona
Donnie - Chelsea
GetNaughty - Arsenal
nico-t - Real Madrid
Lee - Manchester United
Nicky - Inter

bet (?) not accepted, Liverpool still available !

I'm not sure

Scottybuzz for Liverpool (confirmed). Cheers PA for making it this time!

By the way Donnie did you recieve the full amount last time? I have a bad feeling one did not pay...

polish_aristocrat - Barcelona
Donnie - Chelsea
GetNaughty - Arsenal
nico-t - Real Madrid
Lee - Manchester United
Nicky - Inter
Scottybuzz - Liverpool

:thumbsup

:thumbsup

Bump for some more teams to be picked so I can get more money when inter takes it home :P

bumpppppp

Manchester United are going to win again!

Come on you REDS!

Bumperoo

I am in only if I can bet for Barcelona, because they will win it.
