NewNiceMrMe Posted April 11, 2016 Report Share Posted April 11, 2016 I have more reason to get a percentage of it than anyone. He might have cashed in if it hadn't been for me. He knows. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booster Posted April 11, 2016 Report Share Posted April 11, 2016 Already on the hook for five season tickets having opened my big gob at the start of the season saying that I would buy my footie mate's tickets for next year if we win. And a bloody expensive night out in Manchester if we win the title at Old Trafford. All this before this Mrs gets going with it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewNiceMrMe Posted April 12, 2016 Report Share Posted April 12, 2016 There it is, Chri5, Manchester City in the Champions League semi-finals - but they've failed? I think that was a strong performance over 2 legs and shows that a good few in that squad have taken their minds off the league and focused on something else. I don't think they'll win it, but nor would I say it'd be a surprise. On their day, if the big players rise to the occasion, they can do it. Meanwhile, Ronaldo showed why he's nothing short of incredible. That was a one-man win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billy2shots Posted April 13, 2016 Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 The difference in cashing out early vs going all the way really wasn't that much so I don't blame him at all. An interesting thought from last night. Man City may have just caused Man U some pain. I wouldn't be surprised if PSG get rid of Blanc. They are desperate for CL success and he can't get past the quarterfinals. Who would be the perfect replacement ? Jose Mourinho! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booster Posted April 16, 2016 Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 I cashed out on my big bet last night. If you look back in this thread I said I never would. I still believe that we will win the league but cannot afford to throw away this kind of money. I have left my other three bets on which will payout £5100 if we win. As MrMe knows I have had a nice payout from Betfred already and that sum in addition to the Skybet payout is more than anyone can ever dream of happening in a lifetime. I might actually sleep without dreaming of football results now. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tipex Posted April 16, 2016 Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 Can't say I blame you, as nice as it would be to hang on, that sort of cash can't be sniffed at, I'd have done exactly the same. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Booster Posted April 16, 2016 Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 It is your lot that have tipped me over the edge. I think it will be a draw tomorrow and that will dent the offer and give Spurs an advantage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billy2shots Posted April 16, 2016 Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 I think you have done the sensible thing. If they do go on to win it then you have still won a huge sum of money plus you can enjoy the rest of the season now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty Posted April 16, 2016 Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 It is your lot that have tipped me over the edge. I think it will be a draw tomorrow and that will dent the offer and give Spurs an advantage. I'm surprised. Lets say you took just 5 points out of the next 5 games (unlikely as your average is over 2 per game) then Spurs would need to get 12 out of 15 .... also unlikely. From my point of view the ballsy time to hold onto the bet was earlier in the season. I'd be backing Leicester to win .... although I confess logic and reasoning is a lot easier when there's no financial pressures. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garcon magnifique Posted April 16, 2016 Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 I'm convinced they'll do it. But if I had that kind of money on it, knowing my betting record, the very fact I'm convinced should be the reason to cash out. Well done sir, you've held out longer than many. Now see if you can hold onto any of it to spend on yourself! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booster Posted April 16, 2016 Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 Cheers gents. The risk / reward got to the point where it wasn't worth the stress. I have genuinely been losing sleep over it. The other bets leave me an interest but this one being out of the way with the BF one means I got to where I wanted to / dreamed of being. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewNiceMrMe Posted April 16, 2016 Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 (edited) Nooooooooooooooooo. The title is yours! Oh well, let's face it - being someone who knows you have the bet on, and being the person that is actually facing the decision, are two very different things.

Scotty Posted April 16, 2016 Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 Are you willing to publish the numbers?Well done on whatever you've taken away from it - you've certainly done good What's left on the table to play for? For me my dream season is that WHU get to the last game at the Boleyn against Man U and that it's a decider* for Europe ... and of course that they smash it! My predictions for the run in :Leicester (A) Draw Watford (H) WinWBA (A) Win Swansea (A) Draw/LoseManU (H) WINStoke (A) Lose/DrawI reckon they'll finish on 63 points.

Booster Posted April 16, 2016 Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 Scotty, see the pic in my post! Top right corner. That's the number. As well as where Vardy will place the penalty he gets against you tomorrow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty Posted April 16, 2016 Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 How did West Ham do in their last game against Man United, at the Boleyn Ground? I know it was a home game but they arrived late to it. They only turned up for the last 20mins of play! Scotty, see the pic in my post! Top right corner. That's the number. As well as where Vardy will place the penalty he gets against you tomorrow! Aha! Missed that I think you could be right about a penalty. Andy Carroll seems to be getting a bit carried away as each game goes by. I'm hoping Payet gets another chance as the one squanders against ManU needs to be forgotten about quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewNiceMrMe Posted April 16, 2016 Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 I can't see West Ham claiming a European spot. City will take 4th and United will get that horrid 5th place. I'd quite happily pass it to West Ham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty Posted April 16, 2016 Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 I agree. They've lost too many points agianst the clubs they shouldn't have done. I did say "dream" above Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garcon magnifique Posted April 16, 2016 Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 How did West Ham do in their last game against Man United, at the Boleyn Ground? Often when the huge underdog causes a shock, normality and form are emphatically re-asserted when the fixture comes up again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
