Just having a look at my account and forgot I had put a bet on that Inter Milan, Anderlecht, Celtic, Lyon, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich would win their leagues. I put it on in July and have decided to check the leagues so far and...

 

Lyon are top of Ligue 1, but could move down if Marseille win.

Inter are top by a point ahead of Catania, but have a game in hand.

Celtic are top by 3 points, but Rangers could go level if they win the game in hand.

Anderlecht are top, but again only on GD and Standard could go top if they win.

Bayern are 4th, 3 points off top spot.

Real Madrid are 5th, with a game in hand which could take them to joint 1st.

 

Its hit the half way mark of the season just about and the bet is looking a bit naff.

 

Lyon are top of Ligue 1 by 3 points with the same number of games played.

Inter are top by 6 points with the same number of games.

Celtic are top by 7 points and same games as Rangers.

Anderlecht are top by 4 points with all teams having played the same number of games.

Bayern are 2nd, but level on points with Hoffenheim (4 goals difference).

Real Madrid are still 5th, but a massive 12 points behind Barcelona. I think they are going to ruin it.

 

My stake was £3.50 and think its about £200 if it was to come off.

Just checked mine, and it's looking pretty naff too.

 

Man Utd - 3rd, 7pts behind with 2 games in hand.

QPR - 9th, 20 pts behind.

Leicester - 1st, 2 pts clear.

Darlo - 8th, 11 pts behind with 1 game in hand.

Rangers - 2nd, 7 pts behind.

 

Would have been a nifty £2,500+ if it had have came off.

Its a good way to dull the pain by backing the opponents.

If you add certs like Liverpool, Man utd, Celtic etc. It allows you to take an interest in them winning while giving a little financial compensation too ease the hurt of our inevitable defeats.

We might as well get something out of our demise and the hated so called top clubs success.

If we win then you dont care if the bet loses.

Just ask yourself how much would pay to see Newcastle win. If they do, great, if not, your in the money!

Theres a certain logic to it.

Man Utd have drifted from 70/1, to 75/1 for the Quadruple after last night. Considering they should still easily win that second-leg, should be 1 point off the top of the league after their games in hand, and are still in the other two competitions as well, that's a helluva bet.
