Don't think you've quite grasped it Toor. Your bet makes no difference to the result, if Pool get through, yippee, if not you get a consolation prize. Hence win win.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I grasp it, it's just that it's wrong. The scenario is not a win-win. A win-win is if you win both ways
----------------------------------------------------------------------

You do win both ways.

One is in monetary value, the other is a CL final.

There's over thinking it, then there's doing a TOOR.

You'd also have to put big money on Liverpool to get a worthwhile return.

Correct and with your bet, it's one or the other, thus not winning both ways.

You're doing a Metro by not understanding this simple concept.

I had £120 riding on a Spurs win last night from a weekend accumulator, all the others had already won, so put a few pound on the draw at 6/1 and a couple of pound on Watford to win at 18/1. Bit of insurance in case it all went belly up. At least I would have got something back.

a bit of money to gloss over your team's defeat. couldn't do it.

Yes, one or the other .. thus win/win

Go eat your twix

Op,,, waste of money because we will score and roma wont get 4 without us getting another, so roma will need 5.....

I actually have us beating roma anyway, we are the only undefeated side in the CL this season and the top scorers, roma away is no more difficult than city away and we conceded early vs city too.

Mane to bag a brace imo in this one

One or the other is win/lose.

Win win would be your team winning and winning the bet.

I'd love a Twix right now.

A win win is a result beneficial to all parties. If Liverpool lose, its not a benefit to them that someone won a bet.

A win win is a result beneficial to all parties.

Liverpool fans will either win money or see their team through to CL final.

It's the perfect example of a win-win situation.

Only the pedantic will make a meal out of it.
