...a bit of background... i work in some plush office building a stone's throw from Old Trafford. whenever i get bored at work i look outside and there it is staring at me. needless to say, about 90% of people at work are Man Utd fans. last friday i was having a drink with some of the lads and we started talking about the last game of the season. to cut a long story short, i agreed to bet two of them £10 each that we wouldn't lose to them by three clear goals. admittedly, i was drunk at the time, but even in the cold light of day i think it was a good bet. anyway, lately, i've been thinking about putting a little counter-bet on at the bookies. say if i went in and asked to bet on man utd winning by three clear goals, i reckon i'd be looking at 6-1+ odds. i could put a fiver on and no matter what the outcome, i'd be laughing money-wise. i visited a bookies today after work and asked about it; they said they couldn't give me any odds til next week. in a way i was glad...there's something in the back of my head that says betting against everton is wrong. what do you reckon? ideas/ suggestions/ advice/ insults?
No it wont make you a bad person though I dont think I could ever bet against the blues. You may have to turn in thet new Everton Jersey if you do though.Ill give you my address to send it to.
I'd do it if it was Spurs or Metrostars. Money is money and you will be getting it either way so I think it's perfectly fine. If you were only placing the bet against Everton that would be another story.
i considered doing something similar at the start of the season; betting £10 on sunderland to go down. that way if we did i would get money as a consolation, and if we didn't i wouldn't mind. of course i didn't do that, so here i am, without any dosh to ease my woes.
