I stuck £37.50 on us to get promoted and £2.50 to be promoted as champions. Had £40 burning a hole in my pocket before the start of the season! Can't remember what odds I got...something like 8/1 for the promotion and 25/1 for champions I think.

I didn't bet on this year - I thought the ten point penalty was too much to overcome. There are some I thought about and I wished I had. Pompey to go down at 4/1, Lambert top gs in L1 at 6/1 for example.

Anyway .. I do fancy us to get a result tomorrow at Leeds and have had a dabble on us winning at 7/2 with Skybet.

Noted down saints to win 4-0 tomorrow , at 350/1 with paddy power.

 

We nearly always seem to concede so can anyone honestly see that happening?

 

I never bet on Saints, far too unpredictable!

As a value punter myself (which is hard where Saints are concerned I accept because the heart rules the old head) I think both of those are stand out prices.

 

Lambert is a shoe-in barring injury.

 

And although Leeds are top for a reason, our form is first-class, especially away from home.

I know I will get lambasted for this, but I will always bet against Saints. Gives me something to try and cheer myself up when we lose.

 

You must be loaded then. all these seaons where we have been losing...

It's only a tenner a week, but yes it has paid for a few things :o)

 

Haven't been doing it this season though. If I have an accumulator though, I will never bet on Saints either, as I wouldn't want the team to cost me money.

Betting AGAINST Saints = Win/Win. :-D

 

Seriously though, whoever bet against us consistantly last season must be a fricking millionaire by now.

25 on for the JPT at 9/2.

 

Usually wager between 20 and 100 on us winning each game, which pleasingly is doing me well this season - making up for massive losses last season. (Though I did lose 300 on the draw with Norwich).

 

No money on promotion, i'd love it, but I think and have done since the start of the season we will just miss out.

 

Also got a 100 bet with a mate we finish higher than MK Dons (and he stupidly is dis-regarding the -10 points). Easy money.

Don't start.... ;)

 

Bad luck on that.

 

I don't ever bet single matches but I have to say at 7/2 for us to beat Leeds, I am sorely tempted.

I made a bet with an ex Sergeant Major of mine ( skate) that Saints and Pompey would meet in the CCC next season, if I lose he is allowed to phone my regiment and speak to my current sergeant major and give me a weekend duty...............COYR !!!!

I have a bet with a guy at my work, he reckons Beckford will finish top scorer in the league and said I could have any other 2 strikers in the division, if one finishes higher than Beckford, I get £20.

 

I have Lambert and Barnard, so all is going well so far! (if Barnard departs Southend in Jan and doesn't join another League One side, he gets replaced with Holt in the bet)

Maximum bet allowed was a grand at bet 365 and a grand at Skybet.

 

Rickie is now in to evens!

 

I can't believe you got a grand in with 365. I wanted £100 on Laudrup to be next Chelsea Manager at 50/1 and they wouldn't take it!!!

 

That's why I back with Victor - never knowingly turns down a bet...

Best Managerial Appointment: Southampton

 

When your club slips out of the top two divisions for the first time in half-a-century and faces financial ruin, the last thing you expect is a Swiss-German billionaire to come to the rescue and appoint a manager who should probably be plying his trade in the Premier League.

 

However, that was the exciting rags-to-riches scenario that the St Mary's faithful were celebrating back in July and now 2010 is shaping up to be an incredible year for the south coast outfit.

 

Quite how Alan Pardew has ended up managing in League One barely three years after guiding West Ham to an FA Cup final is anyone's guess, although his ill-advised decision to take on a hiding-to-nothing at Charlton clearly hasn't helped.

 

Anyway, Pardew is back to his usual self and you wouldn't rule out the possibility of Saints making a couple of trips to Wembley in the New Year.

 

A double-header against MK Dons is the only remaining obstacle in the Johnstone's Paint Trophy and Bettingzone followers will be cheering them on in their relentless pursuit of the play-off positions, which they now trail by just nine points.

 

Our hefty 20/1 wager on Southampton to win promotion (placed on October 14) is now only 11/2 and even that doesn't look bad value when you consider Pardew's pedigree in big-game scenarios.

 

If all goes according to plan, the Hampshire club could be in contention for a return to the Premier League this time next year.
