So I just put a bet on QPR losing to Ipswich. It's basically printing money as we have no chance as our players are on the beach and Ipswich need to win but I feel bad
Feelings on betting against out team |  |

What odds did you get? |  | | |

How about this? What if your bet pays for your season ticket? Is it still wrong?
Preference Utilitarians would agree; Deontologists would not.
Hope this helps. |  |

3/10 isn’t value though.
Agree it could be a good investment but check out our last day of the season results lately |  |
| Cherish and enjoy life.... this ain't no dress rehearsal |

So many expressions relating to betting :
Bet your boots
Bet your bottom dollar
Bet your life
Bet your sweet teeth
I liked Burlington Bertie - a hundred to thirty.
Don't understand the new odds. |  | | |

I love betting etymology. I love all etymology. A carpet is 3/1 cos it should take an inmate 3 months to weave a carpet for their own cell. So a double carpet would be 6/1. Of course it wouldn’t you tart. A double carpet is 33/1. [Post edited 30 Apr 23:05]

i got a feeling your bet won't come in, legend. Sorry to say.
But a draw or win for QPR are both perfectly possible.
The thing is, if we get a stunning win but you do your money, are there likely to be mixed feelings on the day....
Or are you a tractor follower for the day.. [Post edited 1 May 0:13]

I'm reminded of a game there years ago, when a load of us piled down from Manchester and were sat in the seats right next to their fans.
IIRC, with about 10 mins to go, QPR scored to make it 4-1, when suddenly one of our chaps squeals with even more delight, but with some angst. He's only put money on us to win, 4-1!!
For the remainder of the game, everytime the ball leaves the middle third of the park and heads goalmouth, both a large number of us and a fair few Town fans are shouting for their respective team, not to score!!!
At the end, with Nick getting 100/1 odds, he was generously applauded by both sets of fans.
Moral of the story: you just never know what the W12 lot will do or when they're going to do it! |  |

I can't bring myself to bet against QPR. But I did put a little money on Ipswich to finish top 2 at the start of the year. So if Millwall and Boro are leading with a few minutes to go I'll start to get quite conflicted! |  | | |

Nice story and then my fat thumb down voted it, sorry.
Worth noting all these good final game results have come up against fellow beach dwellers, tomorrows not one of them. |  | | |

Was there that day.
Didnt Wegerle miss an open goal after that to make it 5 -1.
Match fixing surely !!! | |

A wise person would wait until the QPR team is announced before placing a bet........put out the children and we have absolutely no chance of getting anything from the game apart from a proper beating. | | | |

If we put out a team of young ones, Millwall will truly hate on us forevermore.
And tbf would not blame them one bit. | |

Following Kant's categorical imperative, I'd say it's intrinsically wrong regardless of outcome. |  | | |

The odds are so piss poor I cant imagine the return is worth the risk?
QPR are 8/1.
Teams to tend to.bottle it in such circumstances. Maybe Ipswich will think its in the bag and just need to turn up. |  | | |

11/4 for a goal in the first 10 minutes for either team. |  | | |

Ipswich have got pace, power and motivation. I really can't see anything other than a tonking. But to make it worthwhile at 100-30 on you'd have to bet quite a lot. The same rule still applies. Never bet more than you can afford to lose. Their keeper could get sent off after 5 minutes, we score the penalty and suddenly they're panicking. Highly unlikely, I reckon we'll lose 5 nil, but if you can't afford the loss steer clear | | | |

There's basically no value in betting on Ipswich unless you're opting for a 5-0 scoreline 
Plenty of value if you want to bet on a QPR win! |  |

I would imagine it was more a rudimentary mat than a carpet but have you ever heard a bookie or a tic-tac man offering a rudimentary mat for a QPR away win? | | | |
