Reigate Red Posted May 10, 2017 Report Share Posted May 10, 2017 Saw that in the paper this morning and was surprised. I thought the return would have been greater. But then I know nothing about betting odds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TV Tom Posted May 10, 2017 Report Share Posted May 10, 2017 Poxy Man City let me down for 4 Grand, I had the other 3 English winners, in saying that how the hell did Pompey win their league and Newcastle come to that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely he owes Stockdale a couple of beers for the goal. Mind you it looks like he's quite used to putting a few away judging by the size of him.

The Gambler Posted May 10, 2017 Report Share Posted May 10, 2017 Were all those teams the favourites in their respective leagues at the start of the season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanterne Rouge Posted May 10, 2017 Report Share Posted May 10, 2017 If I`d have had a bet like that it would have been the cert on Celtic that would have let me down. I recall many years ago having nine out of ten come in on a Saturday and the one that bollixed it was bloody Rangers losing at home to Hamilton Academicals who hadn`t won for about 15 games and hadn`t scored in something like eight. Cost me about eight grand I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

formerly known as ivan Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 Must have been tempting to cash out for couple of hundred a few weeks ago when it looked very unlikely Newcastle or Pompey would when their leagues...

Same points as City 6-1-3 and better than Newcastles 5-2-3. Yet Pompeys was exceptional 8-1-1. When I read the headline for this winning bet I actually thought he may have bet on the top 7 leagues including Chelsea but to get Arbroath makes it more impressive. All the others were foreseeable albeit in hindsight because I didn't get them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pompey took 22 points out of the Last 24, Docaster took 1 point out of the last 15, that's why Pompey won the league the same situation but to a far lesser extent with Newcastle and Brighton, most punters would of ripped up their bet weeks ago but it's a funny old game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingLear Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 The year we won League One at a canter I had; Chelsea, Derby, City and Burton all to win their respective leagues. £5 bet would have returned just over £9,500. Safe to say i've hated Derby ever since after being top for most of the season but then not even making the playoffs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew his 4th wouldn't invalidate the bet but I still had to check! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
