The Football.....

Well.......I have never bet in my life. But after my light heated comment earlier I got to thinking and....... .
I have just put a massive £2.00 on Liverpool to win the Champions and Premier league.
I dont understand odds so, if anyone can calculate my certain winnings I would appreciate it

If you did it as a double the winnings from the first bet, say 3/1 for example would come to £8 including the return of your stake. That would then go onto the second match, and if the odds were 10/1 and they won you'd net £88 (Again, you stake would be returned).

Both selections have to win to get any return.

What odds did you get?

Dont know yet. A mate is putting it on later and will let me known.
I wouldnt tell anyone else but while its you...... I am not entirely convinced I will win

 

[Crackle]

.. I am not entirely convinced I will win

Yeh reckon!

I am not having that !!!!
I expect at least 100/1 tonight and at least 50/1 for the prem.
I will send you my new address in Spain

What odds did you get?

Whatever it means they arent offering a standard double ???
At the moment t is looking like 140/1 but I will know for certain later.

The truth hurts sometimes.

What after the Barcelona game?

Bet is on at 100/1.
To be honest, even as a Liverpool fan I think thats mean......Iits such a BIG task I would have expected MASSIVE odds.
No wonder bookies are rich

Odds reflect the money wagered on the teams, not what chance the bookies think they have. If every Scouser stuck a tenner on Liverpool Ladies to beat Barca they would be odds on, otherwise in the event of an upset they would go bankrupt.

'Kin 'ell!

Oooh, Dave may not yet be £2 poorer...

Beat me to it....if Liverpool win nothing this year, it won't be through lack of trying...
