Just stuck £150 on Middlesbrough

[One James stannard]

Returns £230, the easiest £80 I've ever earned.

All my faith has gone  :016:

[Kent Cassandra]

God, I so much hope you lose!!!

[Jem]

Watch out for the draw!

[grandad]

I could never bring myself to bet against us no matter what the odds.

[Blanco]

Solid bet. It will come in.

[H4usuallysitting]

I've gone for the double.... Fulham & Villa to win £20

[dannyboi-ffc]

I almost put Middlesbrough in my acca today but I just couldn't do it. I might want Kit to go but money isn't just an object to me, so putting money on us to lose would mean I would be hoping we lose to justify gambling my money and I could never do that.

I don't think I've ever done more than 20 on a bet before lol. 150 is brave especially on Fulham, will you be happy if we win? If the answer is no then isn't that a bit weird? I would say good luck but I hope you lose lol.  No offence


I hoped we would lose to Brentford in the cup last year to end Magath's reign, but when I was there my attitude quickly changed. I would rather Kit win my over than hope we lose. Even though I don't think he is capable of doing so.

At least you are honest I guess lol

Insurance. You win either way. The fact you have to put so much on to win 80 is a sign of how bad we are.

[SuffolkWhite]

It would be just like us to win this one as we are so inconsistant! Could be a Fulhamish result!

[Blanco]

I had us in an accumulator to lose 3-1 but lost the other bets so doesn't matter now.

In terms of wanting Fulham to win when gambling, I think that if it's a regular league game that I expect us to lose and especially if I had £150 I'd want to win the bet. If it was a playoff final then I'd happily lose the money.

[Wearethewhites]

I've learned never to bet against Fulham, regardless of how poor we are, have been. It's not my bet, so we'll prob lose anyway, but I'd never put £150.00 on it.

"putting money on us to lose would mean I would be hoping we lose"

No, it would just mean you think we will lose. There is surely no inconsistency in hoping that we will win (as I do every game) and thinking, on the basis of evidence rather than the pull of one's emotions, that in some games we will probably lose.

The difference between the Premiership and Championship in this regard is that in the former there were at least a dozen games each season where one could only hope, while acknowledging the probability was we would lose. In the Championship, I think that one our day we could beat any other team, home or away. Sadly, the way we play we could also lose to almost every other team, home or away!

As things stand, today's game is probably the hardest of the season to win, but I am not without hope and certainly don't regard Middlesborough as the kind of certainty that, for example, Arsenal used to be when playing us at their ground.

[SP]

Travel in hope but Downing & Nugent against our creaking defence is a serious worry.

[epsomraver]

I could never bring myself to bet against us no matter what the odds.

:plus one: :plus one: no decent fan would

[GrahamG]

Could never bet against Fulham.

[Tony]

I remember a couple of Australian cricketers betting on England to win a particular test match (I think it was the game when Botham scored a century and Willis bowled out of his skin)
The odds were really attractive but I found that absolutely incredible. We are not talking about fans but about the actual players.
Imagine your reaction if you found out that a Fulham player had put money on a Middlesbrough win

LOL

If you laughed at me after losing £150 I'd have something to say to you. Why don't you just keep quite and be glad we got a result?

[RaySmith]

Well played Fulham.
