Harry, here is a chance for one of us to earn some money.

I bet you £10.00 that we aren't at home to Halifax on the first Saturday of the season (I'll give you generous odds of 2:1) when the fixtures are released in July whichever of us is right can put their winnings on Ebbsfleet to finish higher than Halifax....I reckon I stand to win £22:00.

You're on. So if we are at home Halifax then I win £22.00 and have to put that money on the Fleet finishing higher than Halifax?

Also I didn't realise what the page was offering odds on, I do now.

I'm not actually going for it

[Slartibartfast]

No Harry, if we are playing Halifax at home on the first Saturday of the season I pay you £20:00 if we aren't you pay me £10:00 hence the odds of 2:1, still with me?

Whichever of us is fortunate enough to win goes to the Blue Square betting site via your link and puts their winnings on Ebbsfleet to finish higher than Halifax at the end of the season at odds of 5/6, my £10.00 should realise £22.00 but your £20.00 would be worth £44.00.

 

I am a bit confused by your crossing out of the 'I'm not actually going for it' are you actually going for it or have you read what the bet is on Blue Square?

 

 

[Harry J Allstars]

I didn't know originally what the link was for, I do now.

 

I now know that it is for who will finish higher than the other and that we probably won't get Halifax on the first game of the season thus me giving you cash that you can spend on us finishing above Halifax, which I think we will do.

[Stu M]

Didn't we have this last year, with someone swearing we were away at Halifax or Morecambe or something?

 

I reckon Slarti's quids in.

[Alan W (GNFC)]

How about the 3/1 that we finish above Aldershot, Woking, Grays, and Crawley? - sounds a reasonable bet to me.

[David Holden]

3/1 to be the top south-eastern team looks a good bet

[Slartibartfast]

The only slight problem with these pre-season bets is that not only do we not know what team we are going to have this season but we have even less idea what team anyone else is going to have.

 

Hands up anyone who thought Daggers would run away with it this time last year.

[Alan W (GNFC)]

Great minds clearly think alike, Mr H - identical timing I see, but I obviously just beat you to it!!
