Liverpool (a) pre-match thread

[blue b4 the moon]

Out of curiousity, did any of you place consolation bets prior to our golden era?

No I've never bet against us, my mate does all the time & he gets some grief for it from me.

The nearest I come is for a late goal from whoever we're playing to pull a correct score City win in.

Fair enough. I’ve not done it since 2010, but with our record at Anfield, and for the reasons @The Riot Club described, I am thinking about it for this weekend.

I agree it does feel wrong now, even though I used to do it fairly regularly before the takeover (accumulators, of course), and made a decent amount off them.

Any idea what language this is ?

Am I horrible supporter for considering placing a consolation bet on Liverpool winning?

I used to do it all the time when I was younger, without compunction for obvious reasons, but now it just feels... wrong.

The year we first won the Premier League I was betting against us every week. I was sick with nerves going into every game so i used to say to myself, how much would i pay for the 3 points today and then bang it on the City loss. So if we won I was very happy, if we lost, least i'd have some cash to dry my tears with. Luckily I lost lots of money, especially the Newcastle away game!! Happy days!

I was just as nervous but could not bring myself to bet against us that season (or those that followed). I am far from superstitious in nearly every aspect of my life—I believe in empirical and outcome-based assessment.

But it is a bit different with City. ;-)

That is why I am torn for this weekend. I suppose I will end up not doing it.

I may have a bet that we won’t win the CL this year, though. Easy money.

Of course. This is my betting system. I do it more now because the odds are so good. Lyon were 17/1 to beat us.

I’ve changed my mind. I’m feeling good about the match this weekend.

I’m going to buy a beer and watch it. Even if it does mean waiting until midnight.

Ok. Good. I was really worried there for a second. ;P

Pay attention Everybody...

BELIEVE.

This is OUR year.

Yeah I’ve fuck all problem with it.

It won’t change what happens.

Back when we won the league first time I placed £100 a pop on United to beat Wigan and then again to beat Everton.

Best £200 I’ve ever lost.

Absolutely correct—I just haven’t been able to bring myself to do it these last few years.

That said, with how corrupt the PL can be, I imagine if we all went in on City losing with fairly large wagers, it might affect the outcomes. ;-)

I didn’t catch the game but reports suggest they gave a real limp display. Was it just an off day or did they look jaded ?

They were back to the Brendan Rodgers era , gutless and they couldnt handle the Napoli atmosphere , they are big time bottlers and always have been for the last decade or more.

Was chatting to a rag at work today, he asked me if I now understood why the rags hate Liverpool as much as they do, I’m beginning to get it.

No I used to back us to win the league and the 2 cops every year, got some great odds but never won fuck all

Play the same , take the game to them , EDERSON - WALKER , KOMPANY , LAPORTE , MENDY - STERLING , MERLIN , DINHO , BERNARDO , SANE - AGUERO. , we just need a referee who will not bottle the big decisions , and we win.

 

[jimmygrimblesboots]

Every one of our players should walk out with their Premier League medal round their necks , they will be would up to f*ck anyway , lets take it to another level.
