He's staked 20k at 1/3 - ie he stands to win 7k.

He's also quite, quite mad

20k at 1/3 will get me 7k

The_Judge · 22 Mar 2006 at 17:08

Its free money, im surprised they took the bet

JohnnyG · 22 Mar 2006 at 17:09

I see, I thought you meant you stood to win £20k from your first post

Didn't you see us play v Fulham?

The_Judge · 22 Mar 2006 at 17:11

Yea, havnt u seen our team? Robbie and pete at the back, if it aint 10-0 ill be surprised

I read it as he'd bet £20k on Chelsea winning, but at what odds?

EDIT: Didnt spot the 9th page, never mind me!

Just read this on the BBC website. Almost uncannily accurate stuff.

Here's the original thread.

I wonder what he predicts for tonight?

JohnnyG · 22 Mar 2006 at 17:16

Now if you had any sense you'd put £1k of your own money on the draw @7/2 & £1k on Newcastle @9/1

Then he would be £2k down!

You can't lose then though mate, £5k up if Chelsea win, £3.5k up the draw & £9k up Newcastle, I'd do it

The_Judge · 22 Mar 2006 at 17:26

Yeah, but he would have staked a total of 22k and would still only make a profit should Chelsea win. :confused:

Except he'd also be £20k down on both of the latter two bets if either came through. Apart from that though, no, can't lose.
