Off Topic An OT thread but very football related..big balls.

Just reading the stories on the Leicester to win the title bets.

Ladbrokes alone 47 people placed bets on them to finish top at odds of 5000/1.

So far 4 have cashed in early with the latest getting a nice 29000 quid.

So cash in early for 29k or hold out for 100k. 10 games to go, 3 points clear.

Come on be honest, how big would your balls be right now. Cash in or more squeaky bum time?

 

Not being much of a gambler, think i'd be taking the 29k and legging it. Happy days.

 

Think I'd hang on in there a little while longer, my balls ain't that big but way too early to cash in.

 

I'd cash out. I've seen enough from modern day footballers to know they can give in at the drop of a hat. The regret of not cashing out and it going to £0 would be way bigger than the regret of not having the guts to see out a gamble until the end for a bigger pay day.

 

A defeat for Leicester today would probably wipe £10-15k off that cash out offer by the way.

 

Thats what im thinking. Especially if theres a winner in the spurs v arsenal game.

 

Defo squeaky bum time.

They could go 6 points clear or overtaken on GD, as per Terry's note. And they don't play until tonight in a tricky one at Watford.

Now Joey Barton has joined their bandwagon, I reckon I'd cash in too. BUT, would you still fancy your chances with these March fixtures after today, to force a bigger earn-out.

The Spuds March fixtures look like 6 points. Leicester should get at least 4. I hope they ****ing win today and it's a North London draw.

Leicester: Nags (H), Palace (A)
Spuds: Villa (A), B-Mouth (H)
SqueakyArse: Baggies (H), Toffees (A)

 

Cash out. We were talking about this at work before they played Arsenal away and we would have cashed out then. The fact that the same guy has a bet on them finishing top 4 at 400/1 makes it an easier decision.

 

Who is the math genius?

To win 29k of a 20 quid stake would take odds of?

1450/1 ish. Or have i done that wrong?

 

More or less exact mate.

1450/1 would win you £29,020 because you win 1450 x £20 plus your stake back.

 

So which teams do you reckon would have been around those odds?

Ston or Evertons?

 

Nah Southampton will have been about 500/1 Everton about 200/1

I don't know mate, maybe W/Ham or Stoke?

 

Great result for Leicester, and all those hanging in for a bigger pay-out..... so far anyway.

 

I was just reading it. 2-2..

Great result for them if they dont **** it up.


Even now i would take the 29k.

Big balls required.

 

they're even happeir tonight. 5 points clear, Mags at home next!

 

Whats the cash in price now I wonder.

Great to see the bookies getting a good rinsing.

 

Labrokes just paid out a record £72,000 cash out bet to a punter who has £50 on Leicester at 5000/1.

That's one hell of a win for Laddies if LCFC win the league, almost £180k saved from paying out.

Edit: and LCFC have Newcastle at home next

 

72k or hold out for 250k. ****ing hell, me arse would be twitching worse than Bin Laden getting a knock on his door and hearing ' hello delta force delivery'.

9 games to go, 5 points clear and a decent run in.

 

Newcastle next though.

Surely you've got to wait that one out!

 

True. Then us a bit later.

2 of their last 3 is Chelsea and Man U. I think.

Im watching them now. 2nd half and they have just scored. But Watford gave them a good game so far.
