Becoming a Professional Gambler – Is It Really Possible?

Becoming a Professional Gambler – Is It Really Possible? Becoming a Professional Gambler – Is It Really Possible? A quick guide to becoming a professional gambler – do you have what it takes? People often remark that it would be nice to be a professional gambler. They imagine the career comes with fame, money, glamour, and lots of parties. These people have probably watched too many movies. The truth is that being a professional gambler is as hard work as any other full-time job, the rewards are just much better. Most professional gamblers don’t spend their nights in casinos in expensive outfits and drinking martinis. They are more likely to be at home online betting or doing research into the next big race. However, if getting big rewards for your hard work sounds ...[Read More]

Fantasy Football Tips Gameweek 3

Fantasy Football Tips Gameweek 3 Welcome to Fantasy Football Tips Gameweek 3! Want a tip? Don’t WC In GW3. I should know. I’ve done it 5 times. This is my 6th season of FPL. Be better than me. That said, it’s easy to do. Looking at this week’s price rises it’s clear that the tide has turned. Or at least you would think so given the ludicrous rate at which some players are being snapped up. You can’t blame the masses though. Lukaku scored on his debut, he could have had a hatful. Fixtures? Pah. Buy him and buy him now. Tsimikas scored 12pts. But he will be on the bench next week. I can’t hear you. Get in my team. Duffy is 4.0 and scored 15pts. But he’s not nailed, he’s 58 and Brighton would have sold him in the summer if anyone had shown even the slightest of interest. Shhhhhh. ...[Read More]

Fantasy Football Captain Picks Gameweek 3

Fantasy Football Captain Picks Gameweek 3 Welcome to Fantasy Football Captain Picks Gameweek 3 “Please, please come back off of holiday, Init”. Said nobody ever. Until this week. I left the run of the roost to Rosco. Having previously been on the wrong side of my… end of tether rants I thought I’d be leaving it in careful, caring, soft hands. How wrong could I be! I laughed long and hard when I saw his final attempt to rally the writing troops. It’d be unfair to copy and paste said rant on here… But that’s how I roll… “For the love of fucking god will someone take defenders or keepers? If we don’t then it’s back to full individual articles and that shit is hard. Work with me people!!” Let’s go see if he got enough people enthused to write a Capo piece. Whether I have any writers left on my...[Read More]

Harry and Lloyd’s Fantasy Predictions GW3

Harry and Lloyd’s Fantasy Predictions GW3 Welcome to Harry and Lloyd’s Fantasy Predictions GW3 brought to you by this weeks sponsor – Simmo Logistics LTD*. If you went with 2-0 across the board you would have done well, there were four in total. Other than that, the only notable result was West Ham’s demolition of ten-man Leicester. Man City won 5-0 but even I got that one correct and I’m rubbish at this competition. Thankfully some of you are very good at it. Let’s get to this weeks winner! After a tense (I like to think it is) tiebreaker that saw Shutto and Izzat Aziz finish with 16pts, Shutto’s FGS prediction was a whole minute closer to the 18th minute FGS than Izzat Aziz. And thus, Shutto is this week’s big winner! Izzat Aziz takes secon...[Read More]

FPL Live Match Chat Gameweek 2

FPL Live Match Chat Gameweek 2 Welcome to FPL Live Match Chat Gameweek 2 We hope that GW1 was kind to you, but worry not if it wasn’t, as GW2 is upon us already. This one begins on Saturday lunchtime with Liverpool hosting Burnley and hoping for better than the 0-1 defeat they managed last season. The big change this season is the return of multiple 3pm Saturday games, and what a welcome relief that is. We have FOUR of them this week with matches at Villa, Palace, Leeds and the Etihad. Saturday ends with Brighton welcoming Watford at 5.30pm. Sunday should be fun as Manchester United go to the Saints who they had much fun with last season, Nuno gets an early return to Wolves and then Thomas Tactics gets to further nail Arteta into his inevitable Arsenal coffin. (Editor: Bit dark that,...[Read More]

FPL Ramblings

FPL Ramblings As you all know, unlike the others I actually hate these intros. So I am just going straight into it. One Note: This is obviously written before the gameweek is all done so Hammers and Leicester players were not taken into account. Here we go. Team of the Week Lloris makes an appearance after his 11 point performance. That is two clean sheets and max bonus both weeks for him. The defenders are the sort of the players/teams you expect in there. TAA had a fantastic game with 7 key passes, 1 shot and 1 assist. Add the 3 bonus to his tally and he ended up on 12, the kind of performance you expect from the highest priced defender in the game. It was no surprise to see a City defender make the team, perhaps a little surprising though to see it be Laporte. Certainly not because the ...[Read More]

Predicted Line-ups and FPL Team News Gameweek 2

Predicted Line-ups and FPL Team News Gameweek 2 Hello and welcome to Predicted Line-ups and FPL Team News Gameweek 2. We hope you enjoyed the return of our predicted line-ups last week and we have the absolute pleasure of offering you the excellent information provided by our good friends at Drafthound once more. For the benefit of the late-comers or those at the back not listening properly, here is the history of this old ‘teatime on a Friday’ favourite. If you can’t do something properly don’t bother doing it at all… The above title is a bit of a motto of FF247. And it sort of explains why we used to do this article but then suddenly stopped. The truth of the matter is that it simply became too much work for the team. Following every word of every press conf...[Read More]

Site Team GW2

Site Team Gameweek 2 Welcome to Site Team Gameweek 2 The 2021/22 season is underway and we’ve started off in a very handsome manner indeed; 94 points and a rank of 817,700. Although this wasn’t the opening century achieved by many of our friends, had you offered us 25pts above the average prior to GW1, we’d have snapped your hand off (in true Football Clichés style). Despite the best efforts of our shameful Five (Barnes with 3pts, Toney with 2pts and Bachmann, Shaw and Raphinha all just a solitary 1pt) who tried their damndest to bring down the average, our other six (who had clearly read the briefing) brought home the bacon. Nice. Double Liverpool at the back got us off to a solid start; a clean sheet win at Carrow Road bringing in a solid 12pts between Trent and the self-anointed ‘...[Read More]

Fantasy Football Tips Gameweek 2

Fantasy Football Tips Gameweek 2 Patience is a virtue… Welcome to Fantasy Football Tips Gameweek 2 It’s fair to say that our Tips writers absolutely smashed GW1. Then again, we would all also win the lottery every week if we were able to pick all 59 numbers, which is effectively what they did. We hope you picked the good ones! Gameweek 2 is where we begin to whittle that lot down a bit though. One gameweek is hardly a huge basis to make sweeping judgements, but we can at least begin to see who is likely to hit a bit of form, who we can expect better from and which horses we may want to get off pronto. Read their advice, take some if necessary, just don’t go ripping your team up just yet; patience is a virtue and after all you picked the original lot for a reason. After al...[Read More]

Fantasy Football Captain Picks Gameweek 2

Fantasy Football Captain Picks Gameweek 2 Welcome to Fantasy Football Captain Picks Gameweek 2 As is customary in these articles we start by running the rule over the previous week’s selection, So, how did they do? Whilst Mito offered a compelling argument for Riyad Mahrez, in reality, it was a straight shootout between Swirly (Bruno) and yours truly (Salah). In the wider sense, it wasn’t much of a battle. When the game updated on Friday night, early data reported a whopping 92% had gone Salah (c) – crikey. Bruno kicked off the ‘battle’ in the Saturday lunchtime fixture at home to Leeds, and as the final whistle blew, Bruno had amassed a whopping 40pts to those who had handed him the armband. 3 goals, non from the penalty spot – go figure. Game on, and the less said about the B...[Read More]

FPL Ramblings

FPL Ramblings I hate writing these intros, I probably spend more time on this small paragraph than the rest of the actual article. I wrote 2-3 sentences, then deleted it, didn’t like it. I started again and deleted it again. Wasn’t funny, didn’t make sense, where am I going with that, does it even set up the article? Arghhhh!! You know what, here are some fpl thoughts. Team of the Week There are many places we could start, but when two of the priciest and most heavily owned guys put on a show, that is probably a good place. If you have not figured out which two I am talking about, you probably need to change hobbies. I speak of Salah and Bruno, of course. It wasn’t just that they had huge hauls (top two in fpl). It was their displays, in general, that should have ow...[Read More]
