Gazzasleftfoot 124 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Guy at work is a season ticket holder for Rangers and is always complaining he never wins his bets. He says it's because he mostly goes for correct scores and wants decent odds on a couple of quid punt. He got pelters for it at work and in the pub. He says he's going to stick a few quid on celtic winning tomorrow with various scorelines and got a lot of grief for it as a result. He claims, in mitigation, that he'll jinx celtic and if he does win it'll be compensation for the grief he'll feel from the result. Is he out of order, or is that a fair shout? p.s. the poll is, or should be, anonymous. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stewaj3 1,444 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Wouldn't bet against us myself, but wouldn't judge someone if they did. Each to their own.. Surely if he's after a big win on a punt though, he'd bet on us as they are favourites? Not judging... Just an observation... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
miracle 7,764 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 I can see the logic of betting against us to sweeten a poor result, but I've never done it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Buffalo 120 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Betting against your own team against your biggest rivals fuck me! Why would you even bother, would winning 40 quid really be compensation for losing against the kiddy fiddlers? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bearsden bear 2,376 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Would never bet against us. To be fair if i didn't fancy us i wouldn't bet on our match at all. Can't imagine ever being happy picking up winnings on the back of our defeat Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tannerall 25,935 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Simple solution, don't bet. Statistics consistently show that as bookies get richer punters get poorer, no matter how clever the punters think they are........... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barasa 802 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Wonder how many no's don't bet? I voted no before you start! Sometimes it feels like something I do might affect the result. Does anyone else get those feelings? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why the original logic of a low bet punt to me is almost the most sensible bet these days... Money you don't miss but if you won it would make a difference... That or don't bet at all. Anyone that thinks they can beat the bookies, I just don't buy it.... All these sites that claim they can yet they all seem to fuck it up...

Though I stuck up for him as it's his money and conscience and in all fairness the cunt never wins. Plus, I get his logic. I don't bet myself, as a mug's game, but if I did and I always lost I's stick something on them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've gone to games with the guy. I understand it's controversial, which is why I asked. Is it superstition, or what's your reason for your opposition to it?
