Manwell Pablo Posted 10 March 2016 Share Posted 10 March 2016 A friend of mine at work put £10 on us to win the league @5000/1 it's with skybet and he's not been offered a cash out. He said it would take an offer of £30k for him to accept it. I'll offer him 15k cash now get him to PM me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
separator Posted 10 March 2016 Share Posted 10 March 2016 Another article from the BBC about whether to cash out or not http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-leicestershire-35757616 ... Ladbrokes still have 23 bets @ 5000/1 that haven't cashed out yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themightyfin Posted 11 March 2016 Share Posted 11 March 2016 FYI My firm took bets today from a punter and he got 50/1 to win the league next season and 200/1 for us to win the champions league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxes161 Posted 11 March 2016 Share Posted 11 March 2016 guess it depends on your situation but if somebody is offered near 30 grand you would take it i guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaelicFox Posted 11 March 2016 Share Posted 11 March 2016 he isn't getting offered a cash out People are often full of bravado until they see the cash I doubt the story is wholly true as I spoke to sky bets racing PR and he said they have offered cash outs to all clients Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just asked them on Twitter how much they would offer my friend they told me he's got to contact them directly himself. So Dropofclaridge is either full of shite and he hasn't spoke to anyone at sky bet or his contact at skybet doesn't know himself that he's giving out false information. Edit: They have offered him £22,300 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evostic Posted 12 March 2016 Share Posted 12 March 2016 That sounds in line with my offer of just over 6 grand on a potential £13,500. I'm sticking. Gulp. Yesterday I cashed out ! The thought of the money for just a few pounds stake became too much to bear (and I actually had another higher-stake EW bet so total cashout was considerable, though not quite in the realms appearing in the Newspaper stories out there). Paid off some debts and more, with a bit tucked away for Champions League flights Thank you: the Players, the Scouts, the Coaches, the Owners, Mr. Ranieri, and of course Mr. Nigel Pearson (mainly for deftly hiding how good we really are!). Good luck to everyone still holding on. Now let's win this thing ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Quick Brown Fox Posted 12 March 2016 Share Posted 12 March 2016 I've only got 1 quid on at 5000/1 and sky bet emailed me at Xmas offering the cash out for 200 quid. I told them no chance, I've been expecting another email but had nothing. I'm going to wait it out regardless. If we win the league then i'll be doubly happy. If not oh well it's only a quid.

Vlad the Fox Posted 13 March 2016 Share Posted 13 March 2016 If anyone is in debt and cant handle repayments relatively easily, perhaps they shouldnt be placing bets? Maybe their financial adviser us a big Leicester fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glenelgfox Posted 15 March 2016 Share Posted 15 March 2016 My wife bottled it and took $35k AUD this afternoon - not bad for $20.00 outlay given she meant to only put $2.00 on but hit wrong button. Most friends and family think good idea but a few of my mates think should have hung out longer and go for the end $60k but $35k is great money and one or two losses, gap shortens then cashout figure shrinks and if we don't win title then we would have regretted not taking todays amount. Now can not stress about that bit and enjoy our push for title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Izzy Posted 18 March 2016 Share Posted 18 March 2016 I need some FT advice here. I'm not a gambler and don't understand it but a few weeks ago after we lost at Arsenal, 3 of my Gooner 'mates' down the golf club were taking the piss and saying we'd blown it (I now live down south). In a fit of rage and defiance I bet them £50 each that we'd still finish the season above them and they all took the bet laughing their tits off. Now things have changed and they're moping around all sad and now expecting to lose their money The problem is a Leicester fan of 35 years there's still a part of me that thinks we'll fvck it up. So I thought about offering them a 'cash out' of £30 each this weekend. I reckon they'll all take it as they think Arsenal have blown it. I know it's only small change but would you take £90 now or risk the full £150? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just simply Tell them they forgot the VAT, and handshake contract charges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
