Also while im on about betting I had at the beginning of the season, before a ball was kicked, a tenner on Man city, Leicester, Portsmouth and Stockport to win their leagues at odds of 450/1. What a bet I know, and I havent said anything in case I somehow jinx it but it seems now with 8 games to go stockport are going to f**k me over, but just in case it does go to the final weekend (of the efl) and anyone hears any loud screams or very loud crying coming from the goldthorpe area, it will probably be me.
I bet £50 for a top half finish months ago. A few weeks back the cash out was about £12. That has now risen to £32 which is 64% of my money back. Now, I love donny to do well but I have to be realistic and in my mind we need at least 16 points to have a chance of 12th. That would equate to a w5 d1 l3 of our last 9 games and I dont think, given our inconsistent form over the whole season that that is too unrealistic. So that would leave us with 62 points. Would that be enough? Its been enough before but can we get the points? This is the beauty of betting of course but after holding firm all season I'm beginning to think that it may be a lost battle and we will come up just short. I know we are in good form and it might sound a bit mad that only now I am questioning this but I think this hill may be just a bit too steep a climb.
I hope no one had big money on us under DF in L2 a few years ago either.
Chipping away!14/1 in from 20/1 14 days ago.
I’m glad I didn’t lose my nerve and cash in a few weeks ago.

They have won every league game this year, bar a single draw against Huddersfield.
7/4 now on Skybet, for a top half finish.
