Guest alex Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 A little distraction from our current plight: William Hill's are offering Chelsea at 5/6 to win the title and Man Utd at 12/5. If you stick say £60 on Chelsea and £50 on Man Utd you can't lose*. However, if Chelsea win the league you're even, i.e. no better off but if Man Utd win the league, you're £70 up. *Of course, this assumes one of these two will win.

Guest alex Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 It also assumes you have £110 going spare. Obviously. I'm deciding how much I've got the bottle to bet. Even 'just' £110 is a canny outlay for what will be quite possibly be zero return as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Offshore Toon 0 Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 (edited) It's called 'dutch beting'. Backing the only realistic outcomes with almost gaurenteed profit. That's a 20% dutch, so if you stick 65% of your stake on Chelsea and 35% on Man Utd you'll win 20% of your stake.

peasepud 59 Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 or do as I did after the Man U game and bet on the toon at 350/1 with a view to us having a good start, the odds dropping and then laying off the bet at much lower odds. Sometimes things just never go to plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
