Guest n4e Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Making a 10 quid bet doesn't mean someone has loads of cash though. I wouldn't pay a tenner to go and watch a movie but I don't think people who do are loaded. 10 quid seems a pretty small bet to me, does that mean the guy who placed it is poor? Surely he means it's a decent sized bet relative to the odds though? For daft bets like that people usually just hoy 50p or a quid one and normally have numerous other bets on various other outcomes. I'm sure if he had £1000 on a Germany win for example people wouldn't think that was ridiculous but on 800/1's you are just throwing money away essentially.

loki679 Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Again, perceptions. A tenner on that bet doesn't seem particularly big and certainly doesn't mean the bloke is loaded or has shitloads of disposable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sima Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 You can bet he would have had tenners on a raft of other scorecasts if he is hoying it on Muller 5-0. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, aye, if we're making it up he probably put the bet on sitting in a gold bath of champagne on his superyacht. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaylorJ_01 Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 £10 is a huge bet for an 800/1 shot not sure how that can be argued. We're not saying that £10 is a huge amount of money. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
loki679 Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 It's really not that much even just for a stupid bet. People stick that on big accumulators and stuff anyway. I wouldn't think twice about having a tenner on something like that, it doesn't mean i'm loaded which was the original point of contention. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all relevant though I regularly have a 10 pound coupon on Saturdays at odds of over 3000/1 if you are going to have a bit of a gamble then at least try to strike big. No point in putting a Tenner on a 3/1 shot for me like Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doctor Zaius Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Why are the majority of our fanbase completely oblivious to the goings on at NUFC? Managed to get into a twitter debate with two fucking morons. One of them tried to tell me the money from player sales is invested into the academy and training ground. The other told me that we're not a top 4 team and spending money would have us like Leeds. He actually came at me with 'because Leeds'. Fuck me. :sigh: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JS Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Why are the majority of our fanbase completely oblivious to the goings on at NUFC?

The other told me that we're not a top 4 team and spending money would have us like Leeds. He actually came at me with 'because Leeds'. f*** me. :sigh: I know, it's absolutely mind blowing like. Forum environments are different to a degree though, especially a forum like this one, which seemingly acts as a hub of latest information, scrutinisation of sources and stronger, more justified opinions. Talk to any old Joe down Northumberland street and you'll find a lot of opinions are based solely on what their mate said / The Chronicle, et al. Our fanbase is so fragmented and divided though, I doubt we'll ever see it work towards one common goal or pull in a single direction any time soon. That and a lack of direction and leadership from supporters clubs and whatnot.. I think the campaigns started on here have actually been more successful in recent months. Back to your point though. Yeah, it is quite worrying that many seem to just take whatever Pardew, Twitter or the tabloid papers print as absolute gospel. People even vocally defending the club man, you honestly couldn't make it up Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's amazing how uneducated some are to the Pardew stats and club status. I guess the problem is we have an amalgamation of intelligent dissection of the club from a diverse community of supporters from all over the world. However most supporters only read shoddy written articles from journos who barely watch us play at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderson Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Lineker's somehow managed to upset Lee Dixon with this: Gary Lineker @GaryLineker 4h A rare opportunity on Sunday to choose your preference of coverage. Very much hope you select @BBCOne to watch the World Cup final. Lee Dixon @LeeDixon2 @GaryLineker @BBCOne Are you kidding me! Lee Dixon @LeeDixon2 1h Sorry people are missing my point.

Dr Colossus Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Tempted to record it on ITV just to see how much they spoil everything and how many unnecessary 'Manchester United' (always the full name) references Tyldesley can work in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
