A few happy bookies

Making easy money from fans betting we won't go up.

Making easy money from fans betting we won't go up.

Its not always easy money. I took £200 off them at 100-1 many years ago when I bet against us making the play offs. Its a logical thing to do if the odds are long. We don't want to win the bet but at least it pays for a season ticket so you get your football free the following year.

To be fair, I think those City fans who placed those bets will be happier than the bookies if/when we get promoted.

I didn't do it, but understand why some did - it was a win/win situation for them because the winnings would have been a good consolation for us missing out.

But as I said, they'll obviously be pleased if/when we secure top two.

Silly bet, was never going to happen.

25 quid I'm more than happy to lose, although my bet for us to finish top 6 at the start of the season will cover it, we're still not 100% there yet so no popping champagne corks just yet for me

Bookies must love you, more than happy to lose.

More often than not they do lol but now and again I get the last laugh, hopefully not this time though

Exactly. I m willing city to go up and happy to lose £25. It was a ‘softner’ to pay for next years season ticket if we didn’t go up.

Like most punters. I won 5k once on gee gees but well down 30 years of gambling.
