davieG Posted 27 October 2019 Posted 27 October 2019 'We believe no-one else in the country had Leicester to win 9-0' https://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/news/leicester-news/lucky-punter-placed-bet-leicester-3473008 ByAlan Thompson 19:12, 27 OCT 2019 NEWS One lucky punter ensured his family a bumper Christmas, thanks to Leicester City’s incredible 9-0 trouncing of Southampton on Friday. Paul Adlam, of Bournemouth, had a £10 in-play punt on his mobile phone at 150-1 on the club reaching the record winning away tally and joint biggest win in the Premier League against his local south coast rivals. According to a spokesman for BetFred, with which he laid his £10 bet, the carpet fitter chose lucky number nine after seeing the Saints go 3-0 down early on and after the sending off of Ryan Bertrand.

His punt won him £1,500. A spokesman said: “He said he likes outrageous bets and had one on France beating Argentina in the last World, Cup and won £1,600. “As Leicester got close to his predicted score he left the lounge to go and watch TV upstairs and his wife wondered what was going on with all the jumping about. “Leicester have always been a team that bookies are wary of after their 5,000-1 Premier League winning season. "There’s a lot of confidence around Leicester, they’re the in-form team. “We believe no-one else in the country had Leicester to win 9-0 and he’s told us he’s going to have the best ever Christmas for him and his family.”
Hitesh Posted 27 October 2019 Posted 27 October 2019 What it doesn't say is how many other ridiculous bets he has put on which haven't come off! I suspect this probably helps him break even!

Gerard Posted 27 October 2019 Posted 27 October 2019 if you want to bet £10 on Leicester winning 9-0 every match I'll have your £10 every week. You'd need one of those to come up every three seasons just to break even.

Even allowing for the relative form of the two sides the odds should have been at least 1000/1. Edit: Just noticed the above post, so yeah, that changes things.

yorkie1999 Posted 27 October 2019 Posted 27 October 2019 Wonder if any one had 8-0. That would have been a bit of a sh*tter
Wolfox Posted 27 October 2019 Posted 27 October 2019 That’s ridiculous odds … something that hasn’t happened in 130+ years of trying at 150-1????????? should be at least 1000-1

treer Posted 27 October 2019 Posted 27 October 2019 well he obvoiusly a loser overall, else the bookies woud not allow him to bet in £10 stakes. I have many betfred accounts and the maximum bet allows a win figure of £5( so at 150/1 odds my stake would have been 4 pence.

HighPeakFox Posted 27 October 2019 Posted 27 October 2019 Anyone feel like donating me £1.5k then? No? Thought not.

The point is, that anyone who spends £10 on a random 9 - 0 bet (even at 3 - 0 up, is still very unlikely) is someone who probably gambles quite a lot and has probably also lost quite a lot. I've known quite a few gamblers. They're always very eager to tell you what they've won, and by listening to them, you'd think they were all raking in it. They're normally very quiet about the losses though. Good on him for winning £1,500 - seriously. But I very much doubt he's at a net £1,500 profit.

Alf Bentley Posted 27 October 2019 Posted 27 October 2019 49 minutes ago, yorkie1999 said: Wonder if any one had 8-0. That would have been a bit of a sh*tter For the 2014 World Cup, I had a £5 (?) accumulator of 6 random bets, 5 of which had already come up. The last one was for Brazil to score at least 11 goals in the tournament. Going into the semi-final v. Germany, they'd already scored 10, so I was feeling quietly confident...........but when they were 0-7 down in the 90th minute, I was less confident. Oscar's 90th minute consolation goal probably meant fvck all to anyone in the whole of Brazil, but it meant £250 to me!

You're right, especially the bolded section, but this is also not the point!
Soar Fox Posted 27 October 2019 Posted 27 October 2019 My friend won £2500 on Friday’s game. He had Vardy to score a pen & Maddison to score outside the box. £10 on @250/1
