The 100/104 goal chase

On the last day of last season Ladbrokes offered a 33/1 silly bet I think it was that a corner would be given in any of the last days games,a sure winning bet which I lumped on City to win the league which meant I won £74,add that to the total..

Did mine as a spread bet with the target of 89.5 rather than being given odds for reaching 100 or 104.

I cashed out ages ago when they offered me 101 - so won 11.5 times my stake (obviously regret cashing out now)

For those that understand spread-betting I also lumped on CITY's points at 81.5 and the points difference between CITY and the Arse - with us having to give a 7.25 point start. Been a good year.

So £17,250

Means running total is

£29,028 + £17,250 = £46,278

nice. i'm guessing you went big on the 89.5 goals? £500 a goal?

and maybe £400 a point?

and perhaps £250 a point on Arsenal?

I used Sportingindex - do you understand spread-betting?

You get given a target and you go either high or low. The target is different - for the goals it was 87.5 if you sold (low) - 89.5 if your bought (high). You then select your stake - which for me was £1,500. Now that might seem a high stake but I could see no downside at all. That said I thought the same the year previously and lost out as (I think) we scored 80 - so I lost 9.5 time my stake - that is how it works.

I was shocked to get offer the same target for this season as last season.

No - the £17,250 was from the goals bet - I only mentioned that profit as that is what this thread was about.

The other markets I actually went with higher stakes - sounds like big stakes but I could not see a downside - but of course if we had a Chelsea like implosion I would have been in dire straits,

Annoyingly I sold out around Xmas - really good profit but I have had plenty of time to think what might have been...........
