    I was ****ting myself thinking I'd wasted 20 quid after the first two games..

    But now the boner is back on lads.

    I placed 20 quid on us breaking 100pts. 12/1. 260 potential returns.

    Also a quid on us breaking a record. 1 quid on 80/1.

    I think we can do the first one. Seriously. Despite losing 2 games early on.

    We have a great manager, a solid looking defence and an attack that looks more and more potent every game.

    80/1 to break a record? I couldnt find that price. I got 80/1 to break record and sunderland to go down. Got £100 on that. I'm no moneybags but stand to win £100 if we win the league which was to pay for the big bet!
    I was ****ting myself after first 2 games but we seem to be coming good and sunderland are more than dong their bit

    100 points is definitely ON.

    100 quid on an 80/1 bet? Damn. And it looks like it could seriously happen.

    Honestly im no flash harry and I'm certainly not rich by any stretch I just sometimes get a rush of blood to the head!
    I saw 80/1, liked it and intended to put £10 on but then decided to go bigger as the odds of us winning the league werent too bad and I should make the £100 there. If we even "just" win the league I'll break even!

    I had a £200 treble on Newcastle getting a 25 point deduction for cheating, Benitez headbutting Pardew in the FA Cup final and the Pope announcing the beatification of St Moyes when we swap places with the great unwashed.

    I'm thinking of offering odds that the Mexit thread runs to next May and that every mackem poster bar Comm will have left (done a Mexit) by then.

    It was on skybet. It's all in a previous thread which I think Tash may also of started before start of season.
    Doubt you will get those odds now but think you can request a bet with sky

    I got 16/1 on 100+ points and put £13 on.

    Also got 150/1 on Toon to win by 10 points and SAFC and MFC to drop.

    £15 @ 12-1 to get 100 points. It was good value whether it happens or not.

    So do I or wouldn't have put the bet on. :emoticon-0148-yes:

    It's still early days and as we all know this is NUFC so disaster is just around the corner, but it's looking good so far.

    Various bets on the record at 20/1, 100 points at 16/1, offset by bets on the title at 5/2 ....as long as we win the title I get a nice wad of cash.

    Season bets are dull though, accumulators on the day are the fun ones.

    Any bet is a bit previous. This isn't back to the future
