Go for everthing or nothing!

All in ??? Laughing

are you crazy.

We should only go all on a 99% dead cert and of the bets to chose from I cannot see one. All in at this this stage would be an out and mug punters punt.

I suggest anyone thinking of going all in should be going to the Gambling Help section of the forum instead.

I'd keep the grand and stick whats left on the BoTW.

Keep it real!

I would like to see the amount of £261.75 (leaving a £1000 bank) placed on Chelsea to win 2-0.

Reckon this will be our BOTW ....and I would just like to thank all concerned for the chance to participate in this venture...which (win or lose) has been very enjoyable.

Hope we can do it again next year!!!

Like the idea of leaving the grand in the bank and playing with the 261.75.

If its Chelsea 2-0 id go with 300 but if its Fulham then £500.It looks like it will be Chelsea but Il just hang on a bit longer before voting.

If its Chelsea v Bolton I voted for £300 although I would probably bet more since its the last one.

There is a big difference between bold and reckless

The stake has to take Worst Case Scenario into account and if we are left in our underwear on the side of the street by saturday evening, then the whole season will have effectively been for nothing

The way its stacking now, we will be on a 5-1 shot, and I don't think anyone of us would be talking about a maximum if it was our own cash

261 on (voting for 200)
lose, and we have 1000 in the bank. It may not be a lot, but giving everything back to the bookies will break my heart

Around the 300-400 will suffice if Chelsea selection wins through.

The staking plan as gone out the window in the past few weeks and calls now for..'all or nothing' is the classic route to the poor house

Tips....have you been at the firewater!!!???

Far better to have £1000 left in the Bank than nothing!

Then we have REALLY lost!

and it was still good fun....win or lose.

I have been nowhere willieboy.
I am consistent with the target of this game: beat the Bookies.
The way the selection of bets resulted- you've probably read I proposed other methods for this week- excluded any possibility of a honourable way home "with underwear on".
We are forced to pick from the options opened a way to win, it is not my fault if better options were closed. I used long time posting to convince people about those better ways and you too and also some others, but we were not heard.
That is democracy, that were the rules, I am ok with that.

Obviously plain resignation to defeat is not one of my strengths.

Anyway may be we are lucky on Sunday Fingers Crossed

Best luck for you.

good luck Win
