betting against QPR

[stanistheman]

I know it is wrong, but would winning £1,000+ for a £10 stake make you feel better if it meant QPR didn't win promotion?

Watford are 21/10 on line at Corals. £10 wins £31.
You can get Cardiff at 4/7 and Norwich at 11/10 on other bookies on line for Monday = £102.

And then next Saturday
Leeds are likely to be at least 9/4 if they have nothing to play for
Cardiff to win at Burnley @ 7/5 if Burnley are still in the play-off hunt
Norwich to beat Coventry @ 1/3

This set of results would win around £1060.
You could use the money to go on a summer holiday and depending on your stake, buy a ST for next season too.

I have thought about it over the last few days, but still don't think it is the right thing to do. However if the stake was £50 or more that would be a very tidy sum indeed.

And the good news is that it is the only set of results (barring a point deduction) that could cost QPR promotion, but it would still need to have a 13 goal swing in Cardiff's favour, so you could win your bet and QPR could still go up as runners up.

Put a tenner on for me will you.

QPR 1/50 with Paddy Power
Norwich 14/1 Cardiff 50/1 would the bookies still be offering odds like this if they think we are going to be deducted points ?

Bookies won't pay out on points deductions changing the natural order of things.

I would rather slit my throat than bet against qpr.

why would they suspend betting? That's how they make money. They have ways to protect themselves against big losses. If it made little difference to them in pay outs they would not care anyway and just pay.

You might want to do that anyway if QPR screw this promotion up. How would you live it down knowing that QPR could have sewn the title up with 4 games to spare if they had won at Scunthorpe and beat a poor Derby side at home?

I don't deal with could have, should have, would have,
Hungary should have won in 54, Holland in 74 and 78
and England should have beaten Brazil in 2002, and qpr should have gone to the european cup instead of liverpool. It is what is is, we must live to fight another day.
