I know its a big ask, but pray for United to win league...
 
ok so here's the deal

on August 11th i placed a bet

it was a £5 each way accumulator on the outcome of the top 4 Leagues in England,

I chose

MK Dons (8/1) for League 2 - which they won
Swansea (10/1) for League 1 - which they won
West Brom (15/2) for the Championship - which they won

and finally

Man United (11/8) for the premiership

now all i need is United to finish top of the teague to win the bet - but the bastards are holding out to do so until the last day of the season - and now i'm panicking!! My Own team could let me down...

now ordinarily a bet isn't worth a great deal of money, but the outcome of this accumulator if all teams win is £10,200!!!! (if United come second i still get £200 but thats nothing in comparisson)

so all i ask is that U dirts pray for me - its worth some money :)

usually United vs Wigan would be a shoe-in but i can't help thinking the season has some twists....

Hahaha! reminds me of a couple of years back when one of our mates - a hammers fan, bet on the cup final score being 3-2 to the hammers and in injury time was set to pick up £920 - that is until Gerrard scored! we took the piss something rotten for weeks:D:D we bought him a couple of consolation pints but he's never forgotten and now loves it when liverpool lose:).good luck on sunday mate, i would hate to see them others buy another title....

i was hoping, of the 2, you'd win it even before this - but good luck - i'd love it if it comes off for you!

This sort of story has The Sun's feel good/rubbish page 3 story written all over it. Hope you win it for the money and for Utd. At least you bloody lot haven't bought your way to the top!

Even though i dont really like Man Utd i d like u to win it because i hate Chelsea even more lol.
U should make a counter bet on Wigan so u at least get something if Manchester loses.

i'm thinking about it....

wigan are 14/1 to win and the draw is 11/2 (best odds i've found)

Rog 05-08-2008 08:04 AM

Re: I know its a big ask, but pray for United to win league...
 
at those odds you could afford a generous 20 or so on the wigan win and draw so that whatever the result you still come out very much ahead......but it's a big ask to bet against your own team.......:D

Re: I know its a big ask, but pray for United to win league...
 
i could afford to back about much more with the prospect of £10K - but its hard to back against united - surely they can do it without backing against them....

I'll have anything except for the sponsor's lager.

I can recommend a few nice red wines tho.

Re: I know its a big ask, but pray for United to win league...
 
Yeah wtf Rog what's wrong with you mate? Carling ftl!


On the other side, Matt could afford to buy approximately 25,000 cans of that crap.... Enough tin to build a third pier!

You could give the Dutchs some credit, drink Grolsch and do yourself a favour all in once!


Or you could switch to breezers too.... :P:eek:
