    Am I the only one who requires an explanation of that? If it were in Greek it would probably mean more to me. Can anyone help?

    It's a spread bet, he's essentially betting on Sheff Weds to get less than 60 points. Every point less than 60 that they get is worth £30, currently they're expected to get 47-48.5 points which is ~12 less than 60, hence the cash out value of £345. Every point above 60 imer red has to pay £30, every point below 60 he gets £30......I think

    Edited in:
    I've not done spread betting, but that's how I understand it to work (I've been wrong loads of times before).

    Surely you would have won more money buying Barnsley than selling Wensdeh?

    Probably would. I knew the Wednesday bet would be a money maker, I couldn’t have dreamt we would be as far up the table as we have so far achieved.
