Leicester

[surreyr]

They could have a big say in the automatic promotion places yet. Win tonight and they are within 9 points of us although having played a game more. Our game on March 5 could either kill thier automatic promotion chances off or could bring them right into contention.

[scuberry]

Automatic promotion is ours to throw away,and i don't think thats gonna happen,expect a draw against Leicester on 5th March,but feel confident they will make plays off,but too much to do for automatic !!! Don't panic !!

[Morris]

They have left it too late to catch us, will make the playoffs though.

Nice!

How much did you put on to get that?

[lymehoop]

Nice!

How much did you put on to get that?

£400. If Leicester had finished the season with 52pts he'd have to pay the bookies 10 times £400, every pt. over 63 he wins £400, you need some balls to put a bet on like that so I hope you clean up

Nothing.

It's a financial 'bet' and I have a credit of £750 and I placed loads of bets at the start of the season. See the away fan board thread on bets for my full exposure.

As I've been credit scored to that limit, if the position goes bad they can call me to top up the account. If they achieved 10 points in total I would owe them 52.25x£400 and if I couldn't pay they would repossess my house! I have 'positions' up and some down. I'm £400 a point on Boro to go over 66!!!

Currently up £7.5k on all bets on the points projected to season end, which I could cash in now, although that's based on mid point valuation not the current sell price. I use the machine gun approach to limit the downside.

bloody hell sheep, how do u sleep at night!

[kron-1664]

u took Norwich at 71, at the start of the season?

No, in tranches of £100, 150, 150 as the season progressed and they showed they could handle it.

Really was I averaged up on the good teams on form and averaged down on the bad ones. Former being Watford, Norwich, Leeds, latter being Ipswich and Boro. Ipswich are coming good and Boro aren't but that bet is cancelled by Leeds & Leicester.

I backed Leicester fully when Sven arrived.

I sleep very well as the Championship is prime for this type of bet. You can tell the top 6 at the start, the odd one that falls away, you back the team on form.

I don't touch the prem as it's too predictable and player budget will tell where you finish.

At the start of every season they state the finishing points estimate and even the one to win doesn't have a projection below 75, which will get you about 4th-5th. It's all about numbers.

Last season I was on £600 a point on Newcastle, but started on £100 at 65 and added as it seemed likely they'd pi$$ it.

I'm up £4k over the last two seasons; but don't do this unless you have the stomach for the long haul and can average out. I'm down £5,700 at the moment on Boro but other successes cancel it out.
