[RonnieO'Sullivan]

on Chelsea winning the league, only 7 games gone and paddy power are paying out already...........

some bloke had 15 grand on them at evens at the start of the season and is picking up his 30 grand today......

 

[Napper]

blimey , what a league !
suppose it's obvious if not a bit premature

 

[Easy 10]

Thats just bloody stupid. I never see the point of that.

 

[enigma]

Pre-emptive, but I can't think there will be any other outcome.

Get more customers, seen as being more lenient. when I used to manage a bookies, we had to keep giving special offers and not deduct any Rule 4's etc just because of the competition.

 

[Silent Bob]

So in conjunction with this, have they also put the prices of everyone else to win the Premier up to say, 10000 to 1?

 

[Scoffers]

So, what happens then if Chelsea dont win the prem this season, do the punters have to pay the money back? I'd have spent it by then !!

 

[tinx]

Also means they don't have to take any more money on chelsea winning the league so potentially they won't lose even more with people lumping cash on as it becomes more likely.

Thats where the PR gets involved. Trust me on this I worked in a bookies for 3 years during my time at uni and the bookies never lost. Hey they may lose at footie, but they get it back on horses and virtual racing.

They can stop taking bets at anytime without having to pay out.

They can stop taking bets at anytime without having to pay out.

But then they look like cowards for not taking the bet. Now they look like good sports for paying out early.

"£1 on every team except Chelsea to win the premiership, please"

Didn't the bookies do this a few seasons ago with Arsenal... or Man U?

Paid out and then the "dead cert" turned out not to be true - they had to pay out twice.

Idiots.

Maybe, but there are not many poor bookies out there.

 

[Loft23]

Seems ridiculous after all they've only played 7 games this season (And won all of them!!).

Although in my view they are the only team that are going to win it unfortunately.

 

[Kent Seagull]

No wonder people say the Premiership is boring!

 

[desprateseagull]

thay could stop taling bets on chelski, and just give odds on the runners up?

 

[Pavilionaire]

Have they not heard of The Munich Air Crash 1958?
