Just put a bet on the relegation battle - £50 on for Barnsley to go down.

I only got 16 - 1. I know a lot of people have done better than that, but still, the principle is there. Whenever I bet, I lose. That's what it is all about. I hope I lose my fifty quid. </p>

If we go down, I will be inconsolable - but at least my 'insurance' will pay me &pound;800 and I'll go skiing in the winter (when maybe my depression will have cleared a bit).</p>

Now at least my cloud has a silver lining.</p>

Anyone else going to try the same?</p>

 

I don't waste my hard earned dosh.

 

Theres plenty done it already so I guess we'll be ok!

Used to always have an each way bet on Barnsley every season....first time I didn't do it - 1996/97 season! (doh)

 

I must qualify this recent action - I never, never bet on anything. it's pure nervous idiocy.

I don't even bet on the grand national - always thought gambling was a mugs game. And, in fact, it is. The bookies make a lot of money for a reason - look at the money made in Las Vegas.</p>

...but still, these are the bizarre actions of a nervousreds fan. This is the only way I can tempt karma into keeping the reds up. Tomorrow is going to be agony, because right now my stomach is inknots. :'( </p>

As I said - never wanted to lose fifty quid so much. And Ifigure, since the ticket is halfprice anyway, it's not so bad.(doh) </p>

Are you kidding? If I put a fifty quid bet on without telling my wife I get a right kicking. I put my crazy logic past her expecting her to tell me not to be so stupid - but she actually said 'mmmh, ok' (shocker).</p>

And she wants the reds to stop up - she's not coming on the holiday!</p>

Leeds relegation odds 1/2 on.</p>

Don't know what odds you'd get on them stopping up. It was difficult enough for me to find:</p>

1) An online bookies</p>

2) The page for the relegation odds</p>

and that's why I got stiffed. shortly afterwards I found another bookies offering 20-1 when I'd only gotten 16-1. Doh. I'm **** at betting.</p>
