Daz Sparks 1,140 Posted March 31, 2019 The last few away games I have put a £10 bet on the home to win or draw, I know it sounds a little crazy, but works in my head! I also had a small bet on Leeds to win when they were 2-1 down, that backfired slightly and I won £70.... #miixed feelings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grando 260 Posted March 31, 2019 I too have been known to involve myself in this kind of magical thinking on occasion! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have it that my home shirt is the only one that brings luck to home games and when watching on TV, we always score if the wife's tortoiseshell cat is sitting on my lap! (It claws my leg to hell when we do and I jump up) 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ekoku: The Ambassador Of The People 122 Posted March 31, 2019 I too involve myself with this voodoo. £10 on the home team (would have been chuffed with a draw) and a double and singles on Sheff Utd and Leeds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Feedthewolf 4,844 Posted March 31, 2019 I had a fiver on Norwich to win, Mikel and Ayala to get carded at 33/1. Feeling doubly delighted! I have been putting Leeds and Sheffield United in my accas, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hansterbubble 55 Posted March 31, 2019 I think it is an entirely rational strategy. In effect you are taking out a financial hedge against your potential emotional losses. That said I almost never do it, that is bet on our opposition, but like Feedthewolf I do put our rivals in my accas sometimes. At the moment I keep betting on us to win and that seems to be going pretty well so far! 😁👍🤞 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
All the Germans 1,075 Posted March 31, 2019 A few weeks ago, I put a bet on us finishing in the playoffs and Ipswich staying up (separate bets). I will be delighted to lose them both. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
splutcho 173 Posted March 31, 2019 Yeah I've been putting Leeds and Sheff Utd in all my accas. Delighted to lose my money on Saturday. Not gone as far as to bet against us, but never dare bet on us to win either because I'm cursed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not gone as far as to bet against us, but never dare bet on us to win either because I'm cursed. Yes I think a few shillings on Leeds and Sheff Utd makes sense. I'm always happy to lose those bets Can't bring myself to bet on City's opponents though. That's a bridge too far in my opinion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Feedthewolf 4,844 Posted April 1, 2019 I need to use every tool at my disposal to settle the debt that will become payable at the end of the season – I think I'll owe the PUPs about seven grand given the ridiculous amount of goals and points we've been accruing of late!
