Which is why the price was same as betfair for -0.5, as that's the same bet at this point

To newbies like me, that is obvious - but only with hindsight! Bookies are not THAT daft, but it did look that way.

Ok, laid it all off now. I had £89 on at various prices from 2.25-2.15 and then just did £85 on Barca @ 2.1. So guaranteed a smallish profit.
Phew, profitable stupidity. The very best kind.

Back next Wolves manager, Terry Connor, at this moment available at 1.27 to back.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/17153404   Cliffs- Connor announced as manager till end of season

Betfair rules state 'Managers announced till end of season do not count for the purposes of this market'  THEN it states underneath, 'If a manager announced as a temporary replacement manages a team for 10 or more consecutive games, they will count as the manager for the purposes of this market'.

I believe that because it's not the clearest rules in the world there is still a price to back him, but with 13 games left in the season I can't see a downside to the bet.

Is he still going to last the 10 games? If so, he's out to 4/5 now on Betfair.

How many games to go before this pays out?

I make it one game left... was looking fairly dodgy at one stage (Wolves have done as bad as they could have done basically), there was 2/1 available a couple of times after big defeats- 1.05/1.06 now though.

Not for this thread but under 1.5 @ 1.70 in running now is great value

Meaning, in effect, one more goal, and only one, and it would win?

Am just going to hope that Chelsea hold on!

It'd lose with one goal

[redarmi]

Yes it would lose.  We need the score  to remain the same

[Graham C]

Prob great for trading isn't it?  I expect the price plummetted like a stone as the minutes went by.

Would settle for that, have stuck with Doobs original bet.

Thanks for clarifying though.

That was why I suggested prob best not for the thread as it is so hard to get the price in running.  I made it closer to 1.57

[Graham C]

Wow, Barca hit the post then spank it over from 5 yards!  

Come on with the injury time!

[tikay]

Blood pressure at record high here.

Nice bet Doobs
