Guest av1 Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Guys I really need help. Off work today so got pissed and got in a stupid football conversion witj a couple of scots. Told them I thought celtic would do Ajax home and away a accepted a 5/1 to one bet they would do so. A guy took me up on my offer and put £200 on the bar. I accepted went the bank and handed the landlord £1200. Now I'm shitting myself, I'm not a gambler. How do I cover this shit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flamingsombrero Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Looks like Poyet is Sunderlands man as expected. Had a couple of quid on a few of the other runners like Ball and McLeish through the betfair exchange due to their odds being so tempting. Oh well, would have been a nice suprise had it come off.

How do I cover this shit? did he give you 5/1 on celtic beating ajax, or did you give him 5/1 that they wouldn't? because there's £960 in the difference there for you no clue why you put £1200 behind the bar though... that doesn't work however you cut it Edited October 7, 2013 by P3te Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grogan_Avfc Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 (edited) In the South American group for world cup qualifying tomorrow night, 3rd and 4th placed Chile and Ecuador play each other, with both teams on 25 points, and 5th placed Uruguay on 22 points, with one game remaining. A draw between Chile and Ecuador would see both nations qualify for the world cup regardless of Uruguay or anyone elses result. Admittedly its not great odds, but the draw is 8/13, and I would say lump big time on that. I remember the last time I lumped on something like this, when Brugge played Braga in SHA's europa league, when a draw meant both teams would qualify at SHA's expense. Low and behold, it finished 1-1. Nailed on. EDIT - or not. finished 2-1 Chile. £80 i wont see again Edited October 16, 2013 by Grogan_Avfc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You staked £1200 on Celtic to do the double over Ajax for a maximum £200 winnings?! Edited October 23, 2013 by Cizzler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zak Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 think iv got it. av1 said Celtic wouldn't do the double over Ajax. Scots thought it was quite possible. av1 gave 5/1 odds and the scots bet £200 av1 then gets £1000 out from the bank and hands it and the scots' £200 over to the landlord to look after Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
