Time to own up

Just could not resist having £20 on the super saints at 1000/1. Anyone else been suckered into a sentimental but high reward punt!

 

No. 1000/1 to qualify for the CL and I'd put a tenner on that but not the title.

 

You'd be better off standing in a field burning money.

 

Ahem, surely that answer should be... giving the money to Benali's Big Run..?

 

Good point

 

Each way with 5 places?

 

We are worth a bet on being in the top 6, but not top 4 or the title. Should have put a pound on for solidarity, but £20 ??

 

I've seen a few with Saints to be top at Christmas/to finish above Liverpool.

 

I stuck a tenner on Koeman being manager of the season, 33\1. Got money on us winning FA cup, Carling cup and top 4 finish, but no odds over 30\1 on any of those.
I was drunk enough to put a fiver on us winning the prem back in May, but only got odds of 750\1. I should have waited until the 'meltdown' started and would have got better odds on most of my bets.
I already donated to Benali's big run so don't feel any guilt about wasted bets

 

I love you guy- two peas in a pod -likewise have already donated Benali run

 

Odds on a top 4/6 are pretty short (relatively speaking) so i might wait to see what happens after we lose a game. I usually put a 10 on a multi leg win-draw every matchday and that gets some decent returns (usually pretty easy to turn 10 into 60+ every other week.)

 

I always put a pound on Saints to be Champions before the season starts. One century I'll win I also put a pound on runner up, a fiver on top 4, and a tenner on top6.

3 years ago I won the runner up, top4 and top6. 2 years ago I won the runner up, top4 and top6. 1 year ago and this year I won f all. lol. Next year I hope to get some money back again.

 

I have never betted on football, horses thats a different story, my best win was a winning 300 pound bet at 22to1 on Kris Kin for the 2003 Derby. I had placed bets for others at work who sometimes followed my tips so that was a GOOD weekend

 

i put a £10 accu on 4 results which have all come in and Barcelona and saints to win the league just over £79'000 if it came in but its my 2nd attempt and game results didn't come in first time what a waste of £20 but you never know Blackburn have won the premier league so why cant we.

 

Why can't we? Because times have changed. I will never say never, but doubt I will live to see it.

 

Fran, that sounds almost like you are saying that football fans have unrealistic expectations of success, and that miracles don't happen. You realise that every time you have negative thoughts like that, a fairy dies.
