Hmmm... if you hadn't been the one who posted it I'd say they are some decent bets. The Meath one in particular.

Dont just tak BK's word for it Keith

This is one of the funniest lines i've ever read on IPB from The SheepMasters betting challenge.

All funds must be escrowed the Wednesday before the first Saturday that matches take place.

The escrow must not only be a well known member of this forum. But also someone who has plenty of money such as Marty Smyth or some other big winner.

Is Marty busto?

[tylerdurden94]

Whats the deal with people robbing other peoples uploads to youtube? You see the same clip but by 10 different people I remember zuroph videoed something uploaded it to youtube and within a few minutes somebody had downloaded and reupped it their account.

[Flushdraw]

Is Marty busto?

Far from it i'd imagine...

[Bubbleking]

Is DBC the Sheepmaster?

[tylerdurden94]

Does anybody know who he is? I just thought it was a troll/level account when it just appeared one day.

[eagle eye]

Is DBC the Sheepmaster?

Deffo not imo.

[Zuroph]

he's some walter anyway.

@TD I presume its people hoping to get the mosts hits to their account. Remember that youtube profit share now. My few videos have pulled me in the massive sum of €5.52 in the last few months. so if they poach videos and get their hits up they run a chance of celaning up in the adverts piece.

[robinblinds]

Denamrk are an extremely average team and Cameroon will not light up any matches by their standards. I predict a draw and a very boring match.

Cameroon have been notable by their utter disorganisation. Both in the friendlies preceding the WC and in the first game.

Denmark v organised in defence but only have Bendtner as an attacking option.

Under 1.5 goals 6/4 with lads and Denmark 6/4 win is appealing.

I did not know that, could you explain it a little?

Denmark comfortably won a group that included Portugal and Sweden. They were unlucky against Holland and are definitely an above-average, if obviously defensive team.

Once you have a video that doesnt have any copyright infringement etc, and it reaches a certain amount of view per day, youtube will contact you and ask you to consider placing ads on your viedo. you set up a google adsense account, and share the profits. I've youtube ads on 4 or five of my videos, and they seems to generate a few cent a day, if you got one BIG viral video, the money earned would be pretty decent i'd say. My sky video I couldnt put forward as i don't own the rights to the footage, but even so, if it got a huge amount of views, you'd get some spill over to your other videos and earn money that way. its pays in two ways, you get a payment from youtube directly, and a payment from google adsense. It used to only happen for massive hit videos, but these days i'm getting offered for lower and lower hit videos.

The SheepMasters betting challenge.

I'm not sure if he is a scammer or not - I don't think so, but I know a few here have surmised that he might be.
But if anyone is thinking of taking him up on his betting challenge theres a bit of a hole in it.

Lets say the first week I bet 50 points - now we all know the bookies have a ~10% (more on correct score stuff) edge on footie bets so its reasonable to expect that I might lose 10 or 20 of those points. I'm immediately behind and I lose another 10 or 20 points the following week. Meanwhile the clever Sheepmaster has not had a bet at all. He never plays as much as a point, just watches me lose to the bookies margin in my fruitless attempts to get back level.
The way the contest is currently framed someone who never bets a point is going to beat the 95%+ of losing punters.

[Zuroph]

I only got offered on my first video when it reached around 80k views I think.
then next one was at 45k
I got asked about sky news one almost straight away, so around 1000 views in a day. it might either be down to how quickly the views were coming in, or how well my other videos had done, I dunno. just checked account there, I'm up to €7!!! loaded! still, one viral hit, and you could clean up. imagine the clicks those 22million view videos are getting if someone watching my videos are clicking through every day. I checked there and on one video there was only 2 clickthroughs the other days, but I got $2 from it obviously because they bought something, so having relevent ads is a clear help too.

So he's scamming without scamming (a trickster if you will), along the lines of I bet you any money that Queen are singing that song, ...... you lose, it's Freddie Mercury etc.

I'd be inclined to give him the benefit of the doubt at the moment, I'd say he's just phrased his challenge really badly.

The 95%+ losing punters figure includes those who have no bankroll management and bet higher when they win, those who bet on ridic markets where there are multiple outcomes such as horse racing with no clue what they are at.

Its very easy to triple your bankroll over a season as long as you have discipline.

[Zuroph]

Very interesting from souness there saying that the Altitude camp is wrong for England. Especially interested in when Bill pushed him on it saying that surely the medical team should have gotten it right, and Souness said "they have got it wrong. And I know a bit more about it, that I'm not willing to say here". Inside info from the camp then?

Possibly from Ray Clemence, I'd imagine those two would be good mates.

I read Ben Shahars book "Happier" last year. Although it's more a workbook than a book, took my weeks to do the exercises and I didn't even do every single 1 of them. It's hard to say how much it has helped me but I definitely think I am generally more thankful and much more open to opportunities than I was before.
Does that lecture series cover much the same?

Even if it does probably worth my while for a refresh.

Yes it covers similar stuff, but the lectures are way better than that book is imo.

[KevIRL]

LOL

Check out the coverage of the Argentina-Scotland rugby international on Setanta Ireland. It's like being back in the 80's

Fathers Day has started early for me. I received socks, a copy of The Van and dinner out tomorrow from the missus with a Karate Kid boxset from the kids. Very strange selection from the kids might be something to do with the eldest lad taking up Karate last week

Thank god for Sky+ to record the golf currently watching Karate Kid 1 and no doubt 2 and 3 to follow later if the kids have their way. At least i have a bottle of wine near gone with a 2nd ready and waiting.

I've a sudden urge to try ketamine, orange seems to be my ballpark.

2 years ago on Stephen's Day night, I went from the pub back to a party in some apartment block fueled up with ~15 pints+shots. I was offered some of said drug and apparently took way too much. I was completely fecked and experienced the dreaded K-hole. Couldn't move and was sitting on the floor of the party tripping out pretty hard. Came out of it and realized I still existed but I had feck all control over my body. I went to the jacks for a piss but there was a cue, couldn't hold it and so went outside. It took about 5 mins to get down the stairs while clutching on to the banister for dear life and I'd 1/2 pissed myself. Only realized after I'd zipped up that I had chosen one of the neighbours front window to piss on and some lad was looking out at me. WTF do ya do...freak out and leg it obv! Freaking out wasn't a problem but legging it was as I the messages from my brain weren't getting delivered. I imagine I looked like the dentist from Mr Bean after he had the anesthetic injected into his leg. Thankfully villain didn't give chase.

Eventually got to the front gate but needed a code to get out(FML). There was no way in hell I was going back to the party and I doubt the neighbour would be too obliging after waking up to some bollox pissing all over his window. Only way out was to climb the 12 foot spiked fence. Got myself mentally as ready as possible which was tough enough in itself and managed to hold it together. I got to the top and threw my left leg over. The thought of not being able to have any kids should I fuck this part up was pretty sobering let me tell ya! I didn't think I was going to be able to get my right leg over without loosing balance and was in a bit of a quandary over how to play it. Presume it was a funny site if there was anyone watching some lanky string of piss doing some new form of freestyle gymnastics. My arms were giving giving out so just went for it, hurled my leg over and threw myself away from the fence. Landed pretty hard on my back n but thankfully didn't break anything. Looked back up at the fence n just burst myself laughing. The walk home was pretty painful as my legs gave out on me countless times including when I was in a shop getting smokes with ~7 people in the place.


Never again!!!

SPOILER

Jesus I'm some gobshite

Fathers Day? Ah fuck. Yet again its slipped my mind
