£1500 on arsenal to beat west brom

[typer0612]

£1500 lay out, £2590 back when arsenal win giving a profit of £1090

opinons?

[BrabusMog]

The risk is not worth the reward IMHO

[deadmau5]

West Brom are fighting for survival, Arsenal are a team of bottle losing, biscuit legged babies.

I personally would not bother.

[MrAdaam]

I double dare ya.

[Mr Gearchange]

Arsenal do not have a very good record against the Baggies.
They are fighting for thier life - on the back of their best run of games in months - Roy Hodgson is bringing much needed structure to their defensive game.
Arsenal are in bad shape at the moment.

As another poster has proffered - the reward does not match the risk. Stick 20 quid on it.

If you can afford to lose your £1500 then go for it

Personally I reckon you'd be better putting your money on a Man Utd Prem / FA Cup double.

Hmmmmm.....there is a massive incentive for Arsenal to go joint top on points, but they do have a few factors against them at the minute. I expect them to end their losing streak but I wouldn't personally put £1500.00 on it.

Good luck to ya.

hmmmm, typer, the trip to NY off now then?

[Fittster]

It depends on how much £1500 means to you.

I think Arsenal will win but there's no way I can afford to gamble that much on a game.

So you've got £1500 'spare', but need to win an extra £1000 for something else? If your gonna put the bet on, i'd leave it til later in the week when you'll know more team news.

As the forum's resident gambling degen ( ), I would stay away. It's a punt, really, as anything can happen. Yeah, they could have the best team but they could have a relaxed mentality through over-confidence and give away a goal or just not put as much in until the end and through a need to win, get red carded.

I'd be looking for value and taking a series of bets where you see value based on statistical analysis of many games, being willing to lose money but overall making money.

I suppose if you did insist, then I would also back Arsenal; am guessing the odds are around 1.7? Snag is, I've seen teams with those odds draw or lose. Edit: ah, 1.8 on Betfair. Not comfortable; away for Arsenal, too. I've seen enough teams with those odds in away games get their arses handed to them.

It will either be 0-0 or 1-0 to one of them - I would steer well clear !

You could make some money from that...
0-0: 16-18
0-1: 8.8-10.5
1-0: 17.5-21

You can't lose.

As a word of warning a chap on one of the Leeds forums lost £750 on arsenal winning the carling cup final.

Know the feeling. Remember earlier in the season when all the big names started losing games they should obviously have won? That's my fault for backing them. People look at the 50 pence piece like it's nothing. I have brought down multi-million pound football clubs with just 50p.
