What would all 11 have made you ?
I only put £2 on the all 11. Think it was 45-1 for the lot. All favourites...had some to play with after a pro gambler gave me cert on a horse at Cheltenham.
Have to confess..

i won a few bob today betting against us....
we have an awful record against non league teams in recent years, an after Tuesaday night i really didnt think we would play comfortably with the giant killing boot being on the other foot... plus the odds of 8-1 were too generous to refuse, so stuck a daft fiver on.....
the 45 quid just about covers the travel expenses I was going to write to the club to refund me, after an utterly passionless and dire performance....
Its funny how this game has a habit of biting you on the bottom.....

I have a whimsical question based on zero knowledge of betting regulations.
If you had gone to the Chairman with the idea of laying a bet to offset the disappointment of losing yesterday and then donating the winnings to the club on the understanding, say, that you got a free season ticket for life, would it have been legal?. Based on yesterday's odds, you could have bet £2k, donated £16k to the club, got your money back and had free footie for life.
By my logic, if you win the bet then you have to hand over £16k but you become a God. If you lose the bet, you have paid £2k out for a life long seat, but the club progresses in the cup. Am I talking jibberish.?
Get it on, bang the gong , get it on

I had £5 on an accumalator too yesterday, for starters Leeds didn't lose neither did Southend and neither did Sheff Utd. So that was a waste of money.
I think so.
