Not really comparisons to justify a football bet?! Consider it to be insuring yourself against a ruined afternoon. Anyway why does anyone have to "justify" this?

If we had won twice in that time,I would imagine you would think we could still get in the play offs! Stick to your doom and gloom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wont be there but with all the talk on here about Johnson and how shit he isL And oh my god he's got so much wrong. 3/0 to the city because or despite.

What's really dull is when people make blanket statements like "we're not going down" without giving any justification or reasoning for their view. It makes for crap debate.

Ashtonwurzel Posted March 4, 2017 Report Share Posted March 4, 2017 11 hours ago, ChippenhamRed said: Exactly this. I bet on Newcastle when City were leading 2-0. Decent odds and when you follow the club as closely as we do it feels like you have a bit of inside knowledge that the bookies might not. On that occasion, knowing our tendency to throw away leads, I thought it was more likely that Newcastle would come back to win than the odds suggested. So, it was a good value bet. Does it mean I didn't want City to win? Absolutely not. But it is a nice little insurance policy. Sorry to disgust you @Neo! Insurance like I did for the Cardiff game - Bet Confirmation - XA0486247110F - Flash Time of bet: 14/01/2017 13:39:50 No. Selections Event Event Date E/W Terms Odds Result 1 Cardiff Bristol City v Cardiff (Fulltime Result) 14/01/2017 None 80/1 Won Stake: 0.40 Returns: 27.00 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lrrr Posted March 4, 2017 Report Share Posted March 4, 2017 I stuck a bet on at 5-1, however I'd much rather see me lose the bet and City stay in the championship. If another team were in as bad a form as us and at risk of going down with similar odds then I'd bet on them as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
