I've checked your fixtures - the Sunderland who still have to go to Colchester - who are very good at home.
Bolton to beat Arsenal at 4-1 - that's the bet to go for

Hoolio, if you're really intending to bet on Sunderland to win all their remaining games why don't you place your stake on the next game at the best price possible and then if they win, place all your winnings and original stake on to the next game and continue to do so for all their games. You'd definitely get better odds than 9/1 that way.

No such thing as a stupid bet, just stupid people.

Ahh, count me in as the exception here, my good man. A girl I once knew, well her father decided to buy the little local independent 'bookies' when it came up for sale some years ago. Anyway, a punter came up on one of those bets that requires explanation (well, to the likes of me anyway). As a result her dad lost the bussiness, their house and everything.communistworkethic wrote:there's a reason you never see a poor bookie.
you can probably buy insurance for that sort of stuff , plus most betting places have a top payout level were if you bet £100 on elvis landing on the moon at 5,000,000,000 to 1 and if that happens they'll only owe you £300,000 ish or summert coz their small print sez so..Bruce Rioja wrote:Ahh, count me in as the exception here, my good man.

I'd be intrigued to know the ins and outs of that - as mentioned there should be not only some form of liability insurance stipulated, but also most bookies will only accept bets up to a certain amount - quite often even going in to ladbrokes or somewhere they'll have to check with head office before accepting certain bets/liabilities...Bruce Rioja wrote:Ahh, count me in as the exception here, my good man.

I'm sure I've read somewhere that there isn't a legal obligation for a bookie to pay up.blurred wrote:I'd be intrigued to know the ins and outs of that - as mentioned there should be not only some form of liability insurance stipulated, but also most bookies will only accept bets up to a certain amount - quite often even going in to ladbrokes or somewhere they'll have to check with head office before accepting certain bets/liabilities...Bruce Rioja wrote:Ahh, count me in as the exception here, my good man.

In any case such a business should be run as a limited company so liability is limited to the assets of that company.

I remember seeing a story from a few years ago where someone bet a large sum on his team to stay up at about 66-1. They did - but those odds were meant to be the odds for winning the division. As I recall, the bookmakers were not obliged to pay up (though they did for commercial reasons).

But if they didn't pay up nobody would go in there anymore, so they'd still go bankruptwarthog wrote:I'm sure I've read somewhere that there isn't a legal obligation for a bookie to pay up.blurred wrote:I'd be intrigued to know the ins and outs of that - as mentioned there should be not only some form of liability insurance stipulated, but also most bookies will only accept bets up to a certain amount - quite often even going in to ladbrokes or somewhere they'll have to check with head office before accepting certain bets/liabilities...Bruce Rioja wrote:Ahh, count me in as the exception here, my good man.

Yes they would, if they did that for run of the mill bets, but we're talking the really massive losses here. What usually happens if they haven't laid the bet off, is that they negotiate with the punter so he gets at least some of the winnings.Henrik's fan club wrote:But if they didn't pay up nobody would go in there anymore, so they'd still go bankruptwarthog wrote:I'm sure I've read somewhere that there isn't a legal obligation for a bookie to pay up.blurred wrote:I'd be intrigued to know the ins and outs of that - as mentioned there should be not only some form of liability insurance stipulated, but also most bookies will only accept bets up to a certain amount - quite often even going in to ladbrokes or somewhere they'll have to check with head office before accepting certain bets/liabilities...Bruce Rioja wrote:Ahh, count me in as the exception here, my good man.
