Had town as champions at the beginning of the season at 8/1, with Rochdale and Scunthorpe at 3/1 and 4/1 is it worth laying some or should i hold my nerve...

Whats the point betting if you're going to bottle it at the final fence......

Thats true but if i do "bottle it" then I'm guaranteed to win what ever the result, just not as much

Its all or nothing for me......though I only have 25 quid at 8/1

If we win on Saturday I'm a grand richer. No pressure lads.

[valemadness]

I had £2 on us to be promoted at 2/1
I had £8 on us to be champions at 9/1
I know it's not a lot, but I only bet what I can afford

not tempted to lay some of it?

I had 3 teams to win games back in October, Kidderminster, orient and someone else, I added town to win the league at 8/1. Will make about £30. I did this several times (adding the league win) but was let down in the odd games. Would have been a great payout if I did this with me other winners.

You could guarantee more than half that if you were that way inclined!

All done on betfair mate, lay the bet you've placed (I.e lay Cfc to win the league, you'll make a profit no matter what) it means you act as bookmaker for that particular bet

[Trigger]

Your basically backing town NOT to win the league by laying them josh.

Normally odds are structured so that if you bet on every possible outcome you will come out with less than you started with. But having backed town at 9/1 if you put some on Rochdale and Scunthorpe now at 3/1 and 4/1 you are guaranteed to make something regardless of who wins the league.

Are those of you laying bets off not confident that town will get the win on satdi then??

Depends how much of a gambler you are.

I'd rather slap £150 on Scunny and Rochdale. That way you win either £450, £600 or £700 regardless of the outcome. Free season ticket and holiday spending money right there. Either way you're still backing town to win as thats the biggest earner but if they don't you've got some free cash.

Or you can gamble and win either £1000 or £0

Not what I asked....I know the reasoning behind laying bets.....but surely if someone is confident we get the win ....why would they???

Obviously those laying bets are not confident we get the result required??

It wouldn't make much difference about how confident I was. I'd want the cash in my pocket. Football throws up some funny results, usually when I have cash on it.

But surely if you was confident laying bets off only costs you some of the winnings.

I was confident against Mansfield at home. Freak result. Would have cost me.

That all depends on what actually happens. I've taken the 'cash out' option a few times on William Hill and been glad I did.
