Who had 'sense' to put preseason bets on this?!

Recommended Posts

We were 5000-1 to win the league and Vardy was apparently 500-1 to be the Premiership top goalscorer....

Did anyone put these bets on? I normally put a couple of quid on City winning the handicap league with about +30 points which is normally a waste but would have been a very by now and this season I forgot :)

Would love to think some fans would get rich as well while enjoying this dream season we are enjoying!!

I know a guy who had 20 quid on us to finish top 10. He wrote it on the betting slip and asked for the odds. She gave him 2000/1. He asked for it to be checked, she said it was right. He asked her to check again, she did and insisted it was right. He got her to sign and date it!

She cocked up I think and the bookies will find some way if getting out of it. They always do.

And yes, I've seen the receipt with my own eyes. I didn't believe it at first either!

I had the sense not to put money on us finishing bottom even though I was convinced... does that count? :giggle:

I doubt there is one person who even put 10p on Vardy for golden boot and Leicester to win the league...

I placed bets in October and have £5 on us to win the league outright at 1000/1 (now able to cash out at £122); £5 on a Top Four finish at 20/1 (now able to cash out at £30); £5 EW on Vardy to be top scorer at 3/1 (no cash out); £5 on a Top Half finish at 4/1 (no cash out). 

 

The last bet has probably covered all the other now - so happy to sit and wait with fingers crossed. I did it for a bit of a laugh. Anything that I might get (if anything) will help with my wedding in June, and if it is nothing then that is ok also, I am having fun.

I placed my bets after the first 3 matches. I have £1 ew on the title at 3000/1. £5 on top 4 at 150/1, £5 on top 6 finish at 50/1 etc.

No way am I cashing out. It will pay for a couple of decades of season ticket.

I posted this earlier on the post match thread:

Still on course to win $60,000 AUD if we win league and top four will give me $3,000.00 - both $20 outlays! Title was @ 3001/1 and Top 4 @ 151/1.

Also have Vardy as top scorer took it for $3 @ 81/1 and $2 @ 151/1 - total $550 win.

Betting Agency (Sportsbet Australia) are now offering cash out on top 4 and Vardy as leading scorer in PL but hanging off offering cash out on title. Cashout for top 4 is now being offered at $1000.00

The bookies must be absolutely praying we start loosing... They will loose thousands.

It will be the other way round. They WILL want us to win. Not having to pay out millions of bets on Chelsea etc will more than cover relatively few on Leicester.

I tried to 'buy' a win last night by placing a £25 bet on Chelsea to win.  The theory being that I win money if LCFC lose, so it cushions the blow.

Failed dismally and accidentally put £25 on Leicester to win.

 

We are so good.  To beat Chelsea despite the hoodoo of the world's unluckiest punter having money on them is nothing short of sensational.

 

I'm now happy two-fold.  3 points and £57.50 profit.   Happy Days :-)
