Well a few weeks ago in the English Premier League, Man Utd were 8 points ahead of Man City and the bookies were all but ready to pay out on them winning the league. As you know I like to back long shots and so I could not resist having a cheeky bet on City to win the league, the logic being they had been ahead all season and had great players, they only had to come back a little way in order to create a profitable dutch bet for me.
So I actually joined up with the William Hill sportsbook and got the F25 free bet offer from a betting website, then stuck the free amount on City at tasty odds. You can imagine how chuffed I am now that City all but have the title in the bag and my long odds bet is looking good. Sorry William Hill, you’re going to be paying out!
However, just to make sure I have now had a small bet on United at longer odds and it is going to return a profit whatever happens now. So, roll on next weekend and I just need to decide what to spend the cash on!
Moral of the story: there are no foregone conclusions in sport so if you spot odds that look too big, bet on them!
