My bet with a Palace fan

[Comedy Steve]

One of my mates is a Palace Supporter (sorry! - I only found out after we became friends!) and after some tub-thumping on the relative merits of Brighton's chances in Div1 and Palace's in the Premiership, I have this bet now with him that Brighton will finish further off the bottom of Div 1 than Palace will off the bottom of the Premiership. £50 at stake, honours even if it's a draw! We did it as 'places off the bottom' as Div 1 has 24 teams and the Prem 20.

Not a bad bet, would you say?

A very good bet if you ask me, can see palarse coming straight back down again.

I would have taken that bet...........................

I had a similar bet last season with a mate of mine who supports Spurs.
Ok ours was only £10 but it now sits proudly in my wallet.

VERY good bet!

The best thing about my bet is that if Brighton finish 4th or higher* I'm the winner regardless of what Palace do



*I appreciate that's a tad unlikely

 

[Braders]

great bet , and you'll win it easy i reckon

 

[Marshy]

spend the money mate, its as good as yours

I've had an even fifty that Brighton will not be in the bottom four. Betting with my heart, rather than my head - as I would have better odds with Mr. Bookmaker.

a sound investment steve. they'll be down before the end of jan and we should be midtable i'd guess.

I have a £25 bet every season with a Norwich City supporter. Whoever finishes higher in their respective league wins. We're 2-2 at the moment. Reckon I could win it next season.

2001 - Championship, I won
2002 - Championship, I won
2003 - Relegated, I lost
2004 - Norwich Champions, I lost (but didn't care because we won the play-offs)

got much the same bet with a wolves fan pasty, our money seems to pass back and forth each year!

Great bet. After all, we only have to finish 23rd for you to collect.
