Betting advice please - TLS? / Quids? anyone else......

What am I missing?

Celtic / Rangers SPL showdown Sunday afternoon.

I have put ?200 on Celtic @ 1.7 Betfair. If Celtic win title I profit ?140. If they don't I lose ?200.

Celtic then messed up against Hibs and are now 3.35 to win SPL. It looks like I will lose ?200 so have to find a way out.

Odds are now: Celtic 3.35 Rangers 1.4

How can i set off the bet?.

Can think of better things to throw ya money at :-|

bet on Rangers or lay Celtic is the easiest option to reduce your loss...but still gonna take a loss. Potentially, You could also do some actual match betting on both fixtures thinking about how the various potential outcomes effect your position...but that depends on the odds and may have to be done in inplay. Or you could have faith in the Bhoys!! ;-)

The latter part of what ???? said could be an option if they allow in-running on the 2 games ( which I assume are the last game each and are played simultaneously).

Although, sometimes, you can do "damage limitation" this, apart from the situation changing in-running, is not one of them, unfortunately Mick, as to back both teams at 1.7 ( a shade better than 4/6 ) and 1.4 ( exactly 2/5 ) can only lead someone to the poor house.

So:

Option 1: Sit on it and pray!

Option 2: Trade in-running if you are able to and the situation changes in your favour)...

i,d buy a lottery ticket, because you,ve more chance of getting the jackpot on that , than the celts have of winning the title.

they blew it, time for strach to go, and get a new bod in to fire it up a bit.

I have done a little spreadsheet. The best I can do is generate a ?100 loss on both results (by putting additional monies on both teams) - that way I'm guaranteed to lose ?100 either way and have no upside - see below:

SCENARIO A - CELTIC WIN TITLE

Celtic Win Current Odds Celtic 3.350

Rangers 1.400

Risked Odds Result Proceeds Win / Lose

Celtic 200 @ 1.700 Win 340 140

Rangers 310 @ 1.400 Lose Nil (310)

Celtic 30 @ 3.350 Win 101 71

Overall Loss (100)

SCENARIO B - RANGERS WIN TITLE

Celtic Lose Current Odds Celtic 3.350

Rangers 1.400

Risked Odds Result Proceeds Win / Lose

Celtic 200 @ 1.700 Lose Nil (200)

Rangers 310 @ 1.400 Win 434 124

Celtic 30 @ 3.350 Lose Nil (30)

Overall Loss (106)

At the end of the day I'll probably just stick with what I have got. Might back Rangers in running if they struggle early on. Cheers for help.

Tony, not all true - ?200 on Rangers would reduce losses for certain to ?120.. or ?60 if Celtic won surely?

I'll be really quick ???? as I've got to go and meet someone but ?200 on Rangers would restrict a Rangers loss to ?120 as you said but Celtic only Won ?140 in the first place and now putting ?200 on Rangers means Celtic lose him ?60 ( ?140+ - ?200) so he would lose ?120 on Rangers and now ?60 on Celtic...

Buy a cheap bottle of Scotch

Drown y'sorrows with an offset headache

[Mick Mac]

They haven't lost yet - I'm beginning to think Rangers may not have the bottle. I'll hang in there for my winnings.

If you're up for laying on Betfair then Sunderland 8s to be relegated and Hull 3s to beat Man U are both worth taking on...neither's going to happen

YEEEEEEEEEESSSSS something back from my losses on Chelsea
