    Erm

    I'll think you find he's the one that orchestrated the bet.

    Why would I pop on to betfair and bet us going down when we won't?

    Just for some reassurance...

    If you do it again and put that we win all our games and those below us lose, then we'll coast it.

    And I wouldn't worry too much mate, unless you're a millionaire from predicting all 12 championship results week in week out.

    If it's not obvious to you now then it never will be, so I'm giving up.

    You're such a big club and you're still only in mid-table, looking up at the Sheffield's 'smaller' club.
    Big club my arse.

    Good

    I wasn't asking for a bet.

    Two of my mates bet with each other £250 on whether Liverpool would win a trophy this season... obviously one of them was losing out on odds but it's a bet between mates rather than with the bookie.

    Why would I give him 3/1? He might as well just go to William Hill.

    You've missed the point I'm afraid.

    RE: Good

    I think what he is suggesting (if I've not missed the point myself) is that you can go down to the bookies and put one third of your bet down (this time on us getting relegated) and then, if the unthinkable happens, they'll cover your bet with Dan (insurance). If, on the other hand, we stay up (as we all genuinely hope we will) you'll be guaranteed a bonus payment (2/3 of £50). Either way, you can't lose, and more fool Dan for putting himself in that position. :)

    Or alternatively you can not bother. But I think that was the point he was making - which is fair enough really.

    I understood that point

    But he's making out I'm a barsteward for accepting a bet where I'm the favourite to win by the bookies, not my fault! :)

    RE: I understood that point

    I put fifty on us to go down (at the bookies) at a time where I got about 40 - 1 and stood to make a serious bit of cash. I'm not a gambler, but the rationale was that I had to give the fates a reason to stitch me up by keeping barnsley up... lol :D (and honestly - I was glad to lose that fifty quid)

    There was a point in the Saturday when we played leicester at home (when they scored) and Leeds were winning, I thought we actually down. I hope it's not that tight this year.

    Yeah

    I just said that we'd stay up, you asked if I was willing to wager on it... I said yes, you asked whether £50 was okay... I said yes.

    Hence the conclusion that you orchestrated the bet.
