yep, I've never known so many people on the same bet. I had a tenner on @40/1 for 100 goals. All through season working out how many we needed to average per game to get there, though after we beat Stoke 7-2 pretty early on i was convinced we would do it.I just searched for the thread
As a group we won close to sixty grand
The 100/104 goal chase
Double Centurions, I like the sound of that. happy days!!!forums.bluemoon-mcfc.co.uk
The day we got to 100 at West Ham away there was at lest another 3 or 4 people sat around me who all was on it. Quite a few mates as well taking at least what I won, if not more.
Although i must sat my favourite individual game bet was when i had £1.30 (was all I had in my account) on Vinny to score & us to beat United 1-0 in April 2012 at 185/1 (imagine getting those odds now). Was a long second half (£230 was a big amount of money at the time to me. I mean it still is but you know what I mean) and i was torn between us wanting to score a second to wrap it up or for us to take it to the corner and play out time! What a night!

I always stick £5 or £10 on a 4-1 City win each game. That was pretty annoying last night as it should’ve paid out £170 at 16/1. Plenty of chances for the fourth.
Can’t complain about the 33/1 at Liverpool though :)

I had money on 80, 90, 100 &104 goals. We'd won the league and were closing in on the 100/104. i can't remember which game it was but we were comfortably in front and the lad I sit next to said "I'm sat here as nervous as fuck because of your fucking bet"

I always put a few quid on us to lose, simply because I get so angry if we do that it calms me down slightly if I at least win a bit of money.

2014 had us to win the league.
Wasn't looking good when Dippers looked nailed on short odds on and then they beat us 3-2 at Anfield.
But kept the faith and increased my stake, think we went 10s or 12s and they were riding their luck too often.
Slippy G, Palace headless fan, Suarez cried, Yaya at Newcastle, City win 5 in a row and we were singing Edin Dzeko, and the rest is history.
Won something like £400-500.

Remember having a fiver at 22/1 on a 3-2 win against Southampton in the early 90s. After the most boring first half ended nil nil thought I’d no chance. Ding dong of a second half saw David White make it 3-2 to us in the 91st minute........... only for Southampton to equalise in the 96th !!! Even remember the twat’s name - if you’re out there Alan McLoughlin I hate you !!!!

Think it was Mancini's 2nd or last season, but we came fast out of the traps so I put £50 on Dzecko to score at 7-1 in something like the 3rd game of the season.
He did, and that continuing wave of marauding attack is one of the reasons we don't see odds like that any more for a straight any time score.

city away at blackburn, midweek half pissed, ladbrooks under the stand, 40/1 for Tarnet first scorer looked good value due to his left peg. He scored early on from a 40 yard free kick and a few must have had the same bet because the shutters were up at the counter at half time ha! Had to go into town the next day to collect.
