CONSOLATION BET


Recommended Posts

I want to put a substantial bet on Wednesday not making the play offs.

Not that I think they won't, but it will make missing out more bearable, if I'm off to the bookies for a few hundred quid the following morning, and I don't mind losing the bet if we get through. Being let down over the years, makes me feel we can f**k even the best situations up.

Only problem is, I can't find anywhere to put the bet on.

Does anyone know which bookmakers will take the bet. Should be decent odds surely?

I put £20 on Wednesday NOT making the top 6 at 9/1 with SkyBet.

 

Get £200 including my stake if the worst happens! 

 

I know many folks don't like betting against their own team but for me it's completely worth it. It's a bet I don't want to win!

If you insist, you could put a bet on an Ipswich and Leeds double, and then any winnings on that for us to lose against Fulham and Leeds to win on the last day..

What if we draw with Ipswich. we miss out on the playoffs and you lose money.

WTF:

I don't understand that thinking. If you only bet what you can afford to lose it certainly doesn't affect how much you want us to win and has no bearing whatsoever on what actually happens.

Really? That's pretty crap! We are 1/33 to be in the play-offs, so I'd expect at the very least 20/1 not to make them!

Did you read my post?

 

Skybet 9/1 for Wednesday not finishing in top 6

Did you put that bet on since the Derby game? Terrible odds if you did.

Be better betting on a Leeds win and laying a Wednesday win, an Ipswich/Wednesday draw would then also pay out. Lump winnings from that on a Leeds and Fulham double.

I did yes. 

 

Im happy with it. 

 

A loss or draw against Ipswich which is quite likely and a win for Leeds puts us right back in it! 

 

Not gonna get better odds while there's still everything to play for.

I wouldn't do it out of principle - 1/33 for us to finish in the play-offs, yet 9/1 to miss out is criminal!
