[Albion] Singing the blues - Now into the 4th season

[kingcole]

My singing the blues thread returns for a 4th season. If you have been following previous seasons you will know the bet has been a profitable one EVERY one of the three previous seasons.

The rules:-

£10 double on Brighton to win and Palace to lose when both teams play in the league during the same weekend/midweek
If we win, the stake for the next set of fixtures is increased by 50%

Kicking off with us beating Watford and Everton beating Palace. Odds of 9-1. £10 has been invested

Nice one, I’ve been doing similar bet £5 not £10, without the 50% extra for past few seasons. Slim pickings back end of last season. Good luck.

We done the good stuff last week but the draw at Selhurst means we start in negative territory. £10 down.

This weekend the odds are 11-2 on the double. £10 invested

I fondly remember years ago running a prototype prediction league on here called Predicting the Blues. Got no end of stick from people who were more keen to point out that "the blues" is Birmingham's nickname than play the game. Wouldn't see the pun based on the colour of our shirts. Happy days. And good luck with the bet.

£20 down so far.

Bookies would suggest a good chance of a return this weekend. Just 9/4 odds. £10 on

In all honesty, I’d have given similar stick too! If you didn’t realise the reference to ‘blues’ in this context is the Jazz song with appropriately adapted wording

Agreed, this is a whole different kettle of fish to 'predicting the blues'.

Also, out of interest, what were the previous profits from the past three seasons? Got to say I'm impressed that last season was still in the positives despite our bad run.

 

[kingcole]

£30 down for the season. Could lock a 4th season profit if something good happened today

84-1 for the double - £10 invested

 

[kingcole]

At minus £40 for the season to date. Odds are so short today that win won’t even get us back in the black.

Smidge under 2-1. £10 invested

 

[kingcole]

£50 down before today.

This weekends double is 8-1

Had to cry off this week. Cannot bring myself to hope numbnuts espirito santo picks up points

Oh ok then, if it means woy doesn't......I'm so conflicted

 

[kingcole]

A tasty 30-1 today. Current £60 in the red

With you all the way ... fingers crossed

Sorry - For the first time ever I'm in too.




Again I'm so sorry.

 

[kingcole]

£70 down at the moment but the possibility to swing into the black this weekend. Odds are 15-2

 

[Stat Brother]

Fingers crossed.

 

[kingcole]

Thought I updated earlier but clearly didn’t

Odds were 5_2 today. With the tenner lost last time and today am currently £90 down for the season

 

[kingcole]

9/4 for the double this weekend.

Hoping we don't hit 3 figures in the red!

 

[kingcole]

I must admit that I was nearly celebrating a collection when Arsenal’s 2nd goal went in last weekend.

As it happens we are now £100 in the red. 7/4 are the short odds this weekend. £10 invested.

 

[kingcole]

Finally!

£27.50 profit brings the rolling loss down to £72.50.
