Smart move IMO. £29000 guarunteed cash, imagine the double whammy of Leicester not winning it and having lost the £29k, I'd be more upset about that personally can't grumble at 29k off a completely ridiculous bet.

Leicester were layable yesterday at 3.45 (now 3.6).

At 3.45, he could have laid the £1300 that he obviously needs, thus exposing himself to £3185 if Leicester do win the league.

That means that if Leicester win the league, his net winnings would have been £5000 - £3185 = £1,815
And if Leicester don't win the league, he'd win the £1300 laid on Betfair.

On the other hand, if he cashes out the £1300 on his original bet, he doesn't benefit any further if Leicester do win the league.

I'm rather late responding to this as only just seen this bumped thread, but isn't there an issue with what you suggest because the bloke would need the £3,185 in his account now to cover the lay bet? So it might be a good suggestion for someone who has deep pockets, it probably wouldn't work in this specific situation?

What a strange time to cash out. 5 points clear and a lot of others bottling.

Ernest · Mar 6, 2016

Bet the guy who cashed out yesterday morning is gutted as I'm sure the offer would have gone up from £29k after this weekends results

So you would turn down £72,000.

Their next two games are home to Newcastle and away to Palace.....Might have waited a little longer....

Agree mate - that figure doesn't seem that high for the bet either. I'd have probably laid / backed Spurs & Arsenal with a decent wedge rather than cash out too - sure it would work out more :shrug:

£250k if it wins though. I'd have prob either cashed out a few weeks ago or if I'd not I wouldn't cash out for £72k tbh. Prob lay it with £20k or so (if I could borrow it which I'm sure I could...)

If I could win £250,000 at season's end, from 5 points clear I might have hung on a little longer.

Not for me. If I had the effectively £72,000 I wouldn't put it on Leicester to win the league with a chance of 250k, I'd keep the 72k and move pn

This year Leicester haven't looked great against the bottom clubs, even Villa took a point of them..

The problem with 'bankers' like Newcastle or palace is if they drop points there that £72k has gone too.

Like [MENTION=457]sheebo[/MENTION] I'd have probably cashed out a while ago.
If I wasn't taking the £72k I'd be 'in it to win it'.

My point being £72k is a fook load of money to just turn down.

I said no before and I'm holding to that

If that's post yesterday's results, £72k is pretty damn stingy.

I'd have cashed out after their loss to Arsenal I imagine. If I was still in play now I certainly wouldn't be cashing out for £72k when in line for £250k. The reason cash out exists is that it provides the bookies a chance to cut their liabilities. 5 points clear and an easier run in than the others should be worth £125k easily.

Won't it be better after they beat Newcastle :nono:

From the time of the tweet it was during the Spurs-Arsenal game, when Spurs were ahead?
Or maybe before that

According to The Metro this morning, it would have been £91k if he'd waited until after the Watford game.

£19k if he had waited to the evening and after the Spurs result that was a no brainer and now Newcastle at home, bet the offer would have been nearly £150k if the results go their way next weekend.
