Now I am confused. Every year in September I have a bit of a bet on the rugby and I am getting a little bit excited but also a little confused. The bet normally consists of 3 singles and a treble. You know small stakes just to have an interest in the season
The bets were as follows
Leicester Tigers to finish top of the Guinness Premiership during the regular season....£30 at 3/1
Leicester Tigers to win the Heineken Cup....£20 at 12/1
and because I could not find another rugby bet I liked I decided on a football bet
Newcastle to get relegated.......£20 at 10/1 (a bet which Lord Flushy told me was rubbish at the Blonde Bash....bless)
Oh and a £30 treble on the above.
My excitement is fairly obvious...as I sit here on April 26th all the bets are still live. The tigers finished top in the regular season yesterday....they play in the semi final against Cardiff in the Heineken Cup next weekend. The Newcastle predicament is spoken about in far more depth in other areas on this site.
My confusion is that Ladbrokes have not yet settled the first single....is this normal? Why delay?
Also imagine that Newcastle are confirmed as relegated before the 23rd May and Leicester Tigers are in the final of the Heineken cup......what is the best way of laying the bet off?
I know lots and lots of ifs.....but dreaming is kind of good fun

If they were all placed on one betting slip then they'll only pay out when everything is decided. £17760 if all 3 win. Nice. Sandy |

some bookies are crap like that, a decent bookie will get your bet settled asap.
obviously you can back leicesters opponents in the final if it gets that far, again a decent bookie will let you bet out of your potential multiple winnings. Or you might want to lay them on betfair but depending on the price you may need a big lump of money in there to do it for a decent sum.
bump the thread if it becomes a possibility

Yeah as mentioned if they go down then it is best to Lay Leicester in the final on betfair for a certain amount to Gaurantee yourself a nice result.
If if gets to this point then bump the thread or send me a PM and ill sort something out for you.

Oh my word I had the full range of emotions. Convinced with 10 mins to go that we had it wrapped up........then penalties and I was sure we were out........then the joy of the win.........on it goes. Almost the most fun I have had for £30............now how the hell do I get a win out of Sunderland
