Betting on Palace

[gripper stebson]

OK so quite a few bookies are offering to match a £25 bet for new users.

So for £25 you could effectively stick a £50 bet on Palace beating us on the 27th... odds seem to be around 4/1 on that happening.

So we win or draw - you lose £25
We lose - you win £250 to dampen the blow.

Worth it, or the ramblings of a madman??

i have never and could never bet on palace.

Deffo worth the risk. I have to admit i've betted against the Albion in the past and come up trumps.

Whilst I completly agree if we lost it would have paid for 2 thirds of my season ticket!

Alternatively, lump that £25 on an Albion win by 3 goals or more, and the inevitable victory will be even sweeter. Can you imagine if we won 6-0 and that bet paid enough to cover the season tix.

Best bet since [MENTION=357]afters[/MENTION] got 76/1 on Albion 1-0 and McShane first goalscorer.

Wish i have pulled in a bet like that. Best i've ever won on high odds was John Terry to score first at 33/1

As I wasn't 18 at the time, I had begged my Dad to put money on that outcome, he refused, I have never forgiven him.

Could it be time for the Greer 1-0 bet to finally come in?

4-1 is good odds. I don't bet much, but my biggest win was betting on Brighton to beat Bolton (about 90/91 season) at 4-1. I couldn't believe the odds were so good. And 4-1 might be worth it for our friends up the road.

But I won't take it. I don't want to soften the blow. The whole point of supporting a team is the risk - you may be gutted, or you may have unrivelled joy. If we win, I will be happy, and i don't want a loss to soften the excitement. There needs to be risk of huge disappointment.
