Softening the blow....

[Silent Bob]

I have bet against us, but not to soften the blow, only becaus I really thought we'd lose.

I have bet against us, but not to soften the blow, only becaus I really thought we'd lose.

And did we?

 

[pasty]

I've never bet against Brighton, and never will. Even if we were playing Barcelona in Camp Nou (apart from the fact the odds wouldn't be worth it) I couldn't bring myself to place a bet on us losing.

Saying that, I rarely bet on us to win either, as if we didn't it's a double whammy downer.

 

[Silent Bob]

And did we?

Yes and no, I've done it more than once. It does feel unclean though.

 

[Oscar]

I don't bet for or against us. Brighton winning is reward enough for me and any loss is a blow - betting on the opposition would only mix a sense of guilt in with the gloom.

I look at it as sacrificing £10 for our win - as I've never won a bet on the football in my life
