No. No. No. No. No.

Surely the whole POINT of a compensation bet is that either a. you win cash, or b. the not winning it, means you're quite happy regardless?

Yours leaves so many possible ways of not collecting, that are STILL shit results!

Newcastle, Hudds win and ours is a DRAW, you'll be £5 down AND pissed off.
Reading, Hudds and Barnsley win, you'll be £5 AND pissed off.

Mine is so much simpler. Both the biggest threats to second (Leeds and Hudds) to win. Returns 7/1 or similar, and I'll be delighted if one of them slips up. Win, win.

I agree with the sentiment.. Just not your choice.
The double should be Huddersfield/Newcastle.
As others have stated we have a better chance of catching Newcastle than reading have of making second place.

If you lose out because Leeds don't win.. No biggie...
but losing out because Newastle or huddersfield slip up....different gravy!

For a good 'insurance bet' Skybet are currently offering 4/1 on Brighton not to be promoted.

You are correct. But I'm greedy, and odds of 15/2 for a home team in this league was too tempting. TBH as long as we win I don't really give a shit about anything else. A draw stuffs it regardless and still leaves me pissed off, but that's just the chance I have to take in a 3 horse race.

I like to do Both Teams Score, so have chosen a dozen UK games tonight, and my 50p will get me £680.

It's like football bingo - lovely stuff.

I've done the Rotherham /Draw double chance at 2/1. Very reasonable odds and I'd be most happy to lose my five English pounds.

Leeds, 'Field & Wed win treble.

I can't believe the team has returned to the point of relying on my shite betting, to gain a decent advantage.

What are the rules concerning negative betting and cashing out?

Sky boost Brighton, Madrid & Munich to win @ 9-1 £20. A couple of covering bets. When Arsenal scored odds now 40-1 had another pound. Cashed out £1 bet @ £33. About £200 up
