Inactive user Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 I've just had a cheeky £50 on us to go down meaning I'll have a nice £180 to drown my sorrows if we go down. This all got me thinking, would you vote on your own team being relegated? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fordy62 Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 No. But I did put £48.60 on there being a red card in the Chelsea Arsenal game yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

123456789000 Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 Put £100 on us at 3/1 a few weeks ago. Pays for my ST next year at least if we go down. If we stay up then I won't give a **** about losing the £100 anyway seeing as it will have cleared my bank months before! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonBristolian Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 I wouldn't. Not because of feeling bad about betting on my though - I actually think we're a bit better than Rotherham and MK Dons and that will ultimately tell after 46 games. It'll be tight but I think we'll stay up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a boring story... i opened a betfair account a couple of weeks back to bet on Cotts getting the sack. I deposited a tenner but then couldn't find a market. So I put said tenner on city to beat Boro. I had a couple of bets but on the whole I don't really like to bet, so yesterday afternoon decided I'd close my account with the balance put on the red card bet. The rest is history.

citywest30 Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 What odds Fordy? Good way to go out with a bang. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingLear Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 I don't think I could bring myself to actually bet on us going down, i'd never be able to forgive myself for doing it if the worse did happen haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slartibartfast Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 I'm putting a ton on us relegated and gappers promoted (6/4, 5/2) as a saver double, I just couldn't bare to be in the same div ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snufflelufagus Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 I once bet on Croatia at 7-1 to win v England in the whally with the brolley game. I would have been happy to lose the bet but it softened the blow somewhat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Cyril Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 Last time I placed a bet on someone going down she found out about it and took me to an industrial tribunal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
054123 Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 Don't think we will go down tbh. Doesn't mean this hasn't been a complete shambles and the club needs sorting out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red-Robbo Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 Everyone's different, but I personally never tip City to go down OR up. Even in a "for fun" contest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coppello Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 I am tempted to do it myself. I am probably the world's worst gambler and never win. Hopefully I will continue in the same vain and the bet will never materialise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CotswoldRed Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 Yes I would. Betting is about pure, hard cash and has nothing to do with loyalty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorenzos Only Goal Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 I would but the odds are normally poor, certainly takes the sting out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly Skybet had us yesterday at 11/4 to go down. Not sure if that has changed. I suppose as most City Fans see it as evens, on that basis it looks good odds! Or they are just more dispationate than us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It’sSmiittthhh Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 I put £20 on at 7/1 in the summer. its a win-win situation! If we go down, I'll be p**sed off but £140 better off.

If you put up £200 quid, I'd perhaps say that could be a win-win... perhaps. I'd want more than £140 to class city being relegated as a win-win!
