thanks, bit surprising really....guess it wasnt as good a bet as i thought.....i think Doyle would have won it if he wasnt injured and Mccarthy didnt score for fun at the end of the season.

Anyway i won my bet for the points handicap league.....nice £320 back on a £20 bet......no bad for some who doesnt bet.....it all went in the bank.

A Shevchenko (+3 goals) lol

Even if Brimingham were priced a million to 1, no one would still back them, so your point is defunct...

You could put a penny on them and then hope that every team they play gets food poisoning just before the match...

Remember you can lay back on the exchanges - assuming these odds are mirrored on BetFair I will probably put on Arsenal. Decent start to the season and they will come in to 4 or 5/1. Liverpool are too short at 11/2.
