Most ungenerous odds ever?
« on April 17, 2013, 03:07:45 pm by BillyStubbsTears »
Bet Victor: Top Northern club in L1

Donny 1/20
Blades 8/1

So, if you had a tenner on the Blades, you'd get back £90 in the unlikely event that they overtook us. But to cover your tenner, you'd need to put £200 on us. So you'd be £110 out of pocket.

Alternatively, if you put £2000 on us, you' get back £2100 if we finish above the Blades. But to cover your £2000 stake, you'd need to put £250 on the Blades as a cover bet. So you end up £50 out of pocket.

You always expect the bookies to tip the odds in their favour, but this is ridiculous. Not sure I've ever seen a less generous spread of odds in a two horse race.

Betting to about 280% normal football matches are usually priced up to about 106% and its 100% on betfair.
