walkerleeds 835 Posted 30 April 2020 Report Share Posted 30 April 2020 Anyone know what will happen to ante post bets if the season ends with league positions as is? Presumably they void all bets? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

peterborofox 1,466 Posted 30 April 2020 Report Share Posted 30 April 2020 I cashed out my Leicester to finish in the top four bet just before Xmas. Took £180 quid instead of letting it run for £210 total. Looks like a good decision if it would only have been voided if season goes get cancelled Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nightmare for me if they do. Got a massive mixture involving Man City/ Liverpool to score a certain number of goals and Norwich to be relegated. Norwich being currently rock bottom will be settled as a winner I would imagine but the goals leg of it will be a loser. Also got Everton and us top 10 finish so that's a loser too as it stands. Top stuff. Us being top midlands club is about the only winner I'm gunna get as it stands. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Fox92 11,693 Posted 26 June 2020 Report Share Posted 26 June 2020 (edited) I saw someone on here say they got us to (sadly) finish outside top 4 @5/1 but Wolves to finish in top 4 is 5/1. Haven't looked at their fixtures, mind. Edited 26 June 2020 by Fox92 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Walkers 2,777 Posted 28 June 2020 Report Share Posted 28 June 2020 Also noticed the Czech league this weekend had fixtures where all sides were playing teams very near to them in the table, so I did all home teams win or draw double chance at 6/1. Obviously the first game lost so didn't pay any attention to it after that, just noticed the other 7 games came in, 6 of which actually winning the match, fml Quote Link to post Share on other sites
peterborofox 1,466 Posted 12 July 2020 Report Share Posted 12 July 2020 I've been shit at betting all this season. Only good bet i did was us to make top 4 at 20/1. Had a tenner on it and cashed out New Year time for £180 instead of £210. What a decision that looks now 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not got experience on the matter, but I'd assume if you've got £100 potentially coming in, and we go 1-0 down then get a 90 min screamer equaliser, it won't feel as good and could ruin the joy a bit, but on the other hand, if we get battered you wouldn't feel so bad with the cash 😂 so guess it's a bit of a double edged sword.

I've done it before, but more to reduce the anxiety ahead of an important game or because the odds seemed good value due to poor form/injuries etc. I don't see an issue with it in general, it's like emotional insurance to avoid experiencing any extreme lows (while also losing the potential of extreme highs). I think for some, it can be a pre match ritual or superstition, like wearing lucky pants or whatever. They've probably done it once before and the team got an unexpected win, so it's an attempt to 'jinx' the team into winning. Especially for those who seem to believe they are on a bad streak and will lose all the bets they put on. But then again I've banned myself years ago because of disordered thought patterns around betting so maybe don't listen to me Edited 14 July 2020 by brucey Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wish I had with our boys. Backed them at 25/1 top 4 this season and didn't bother laying off when 14 pts clear of 4th. But in reality I could never bet against us in any circumstances even when the opposition have been extremely good value (Southampton home were about 7/1 to beat us from memory).

I’ve only ever done it once - v Sevilla (first leg). It has to be remembered in the context that we were awful at the time, and I had a ticket for the home leg. So I backed us at quite high odds to be beat by 2 goals or more. I think I put about a tenner on at about 5/1. My thought process was that in the best case scenario we get a result or a narrow defeat and there’s everything to play for in the second leg. Worst case scenario we get thumped and at least the return legs ticket was effectively free. Best tenner I’ve ever lost. Edited 16 July 2020 by rn9013 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
