It’s possible but unlikely. Just don’t see us beating Spurs especially with the players we are missing.

The Liverpool Everton game will go one of two ways. You win comfortably or you are poor and Everton miss good chances and you snatch it late on.

It looks that way . I just know if I bet the opposite way I’ll win nothing.

No you're not the only one. There was a period where I made a killing betting on Spurs especially in play.

I do exactly the same with Liverpool. Get them at evens at half time to Palace and 4/1 with about 15-20 mins to go vs Villa.

Got them at 12/1 to advance vs Barca after the 2nd leg.

do you ever find if you're betting against utd and they have a chance to draw you would rather they miss so you can cash in?
i just can't bet against leeds but i'll bet on any rival.

posted on 4/12/19

I'd never bet against Liverpool, but happily would back united to win, or Everton if I felt they would.

Don't see the issue with winning money on a bet on a 'rival' but couldn't ever bet against Liverpool.

On a side note if anyone looking fro some value over the weekend, Ruiz at 13/5 to KO AJ is a decent bet.

You're like those disaster capitalists who bet on the economy to fail and make a killing while the rest of starve, worse, probably...

I've never bet against United but I've put money on Liverpool, City, Arsenal, Leeds LOADS of times, it's all about cashing in at the end of the day.

Also, United have never won when I've bet on them to do so, even when SAF was in charge.

I've done this a few times when the odds were decent enough, but it always feels a bit like blood money.

Could be a decent bet but I reckon AJ will do him this time. Looks much leaner.

I do bet on things that I don't want to happen quite often as a silver lining.

I bet on Arsenal winning in the UCL once, years ago as part of an acca. The other 2 were Barca and Real. At HT Arsenal 3-0 at home to Ajax, one of the of the other 2 wasnt winning. In the end comfortable wins for Real and Barca so i went to my app to see how much i'd won and when it said £0 that's when i saw Arsenal had drawn 3-3

That was about £100 bet which i had built up over a few weeks from a £5 bet, mainly on UCL home wins.

Not sure ive bet since

I had an 8 game both teams to score acca on Saturday. Only Burnley let me down. 15 shots, 0 goals. I'd have won £668 off a £5 bet.

I also had another one, 8 games again, that I could have cashed out for £115 on Saturday night, that I let ride for the last 2 games on Sunday. Ended up with nothing.

It was too well set up to let it go though!

After the initial silver lining, it’d make me feel worse about feeling a bit better that we’d lost or the dippers had won.

I’d feel dirty and ashamed, and would likely descend into self-loathing and depression, and end up contemplating suicide.

Betting on the scousers to win is the moral equivalent of borrowing the PS4 from the kid next door whilst he’s in intensive care on life support after being ploughed down in front of the school gates.

By you.

Did it against Aston villa, win or draw. Hated it.

I do it quite often, then I spend all match hoping I lose money.
