Title: Another footy bet? Post by: bobby1 on August 08, 2007, 10:23:43 PM Anyone see any danger to this double?
Portsmouth to finish above Sunderland Sheff Utd to finish above Sheff Weds The double pays slightly over 7/5.(2.40) Title: Re: Another footy bet? Post by: Graham C on August 08, 2007, 10:42:33 PM Can't see a problem with it but it's going to take nearly a year to see it through and in the mean time you've tied up money for a bet just over evens.
Is it worth it? Title: Re: Another footy bet?

Is it worth it? cheers Silo, At 7/5 its quite a way over evens if you dont mind betting at shorter odds over a length of time. I suppose it's all dependent on your view of betting but Im happy to wait that length of time for a decent investment to mature. Have you had any footy bets mate? Title: Re: Another footy bet?

Just one small bet so far for me Man U and Chelsea both to win at about 1.55. Should be easy enough money. I'm taking it easy this season and going for a system that involved Man U and Chelsea winning when they don't play each other or one of the other top 4 teams. Should return a profit over the season. I usually end up doing stupid systems over the course of the season, usually one goal or more betting. I'll just look as the weeks go by for my bets. Title: Re: Another footy bet?

You wont go far wrong there Silo, I used to have a similar ploy with the Rangers/Celtic double. Title: Re: Another footy bet? Post by: scotty2hatty on August 09, 2007, 08:26:44 AM Looks like a decent bet bobby, but not a great one. Like Silo said I'm not too keen on having season-long bets, mainly because I wouldn't be able to stake enough to make it worthwhile really. Here's my tuppance:
I think Sheff Utd will either be really good or really bad this year - as in either they get automatically promoted or miss the play-offs by a fair bit. My friend is a die hard Blade and he isn't too confident with Robson in charge. As for Pompey and Sunderland, I think its hard to determine how either of these will do at the moment - Pompey with a lot of new players and Sunderland being the new boys. Saying that, If I had to pick one team over the other in this bet I'd certainly be plumping for the same route as you. Good luck! |
