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.
 
i think the ref will av a huge say in this game the fa wont want city to open a gap in case they do wat they did last season and the sponsers wont be happy expect few dodgy calls

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.
