Was tempted just to give him odds of 150/1. It won't happen.

...It better not happen, anyway.

Bet 1: 5 on draw (Middlesbrough vs. Bolton) @ 9/4

Bet 2: 5 on draw (Wigan vs. Tottenham) @ 11/5

5 on Middlesbrough vs. Bolton to be 1-1

5 on Wigan vs. Tottenham to be 1-1.

Draws draws draws, I hope.

If this does continue for any great period of time would it be possible to work in doubles/triples/accumulator bets to up the odds?

[Scott McFly]

I like the betting the way it is just now - you can still get a fair return if you take the risk, yet it's still pretty close and it's still possible to catch people up and change positions. If one person gets a lucky triple up, then they'd be so far ahead it would take away the fun of the game.

5 on Middlesbrough vs. Bolton to be 1-1

Draws draws draws, I hope.

Both of those 1-1 draws are 11/2.

About doubles and trebles, I'll work with the majority vote as usual. If people want to go with it, I'll bring it in for next season's betting. That's providing that it still has enough interest. It should do though, The Bookie is the best thing to happen to EWB in ages.

Fuck it.

20 on Wigan and Spurs to draw.

[Scott McFly]

Was tossing up between betting on the draw or the 2-2 specifically on that one. Figured my bet was small so went for the larger odds, hope it doesn't bite me in the ass.

[ONO]

20 on Middlesbrough.

Bet 3 - 6 on Man City to win.

Bet 4 - 5 on Fernando Torres to score first for Liverpool vs Fulham.

Bet 4 - 4 on Wayne Rooney to score first for Man United vs Blackburn.

Bet 5 - 5 on 2-2 draw in Wigan vs Tottenham.

Torres is 7/2

Rooney is 4/1

2-2 draw is 14/1

[Scott McFly]

14/1 sounds good to me. I was gonna go with Ronaldo, but figured Blackburn would kick the shit out of him before he can fire any shots. So if he scores first, again... bitten right in the ass.

[Baddar]

10 on Middlesbrough to win 5/4.

5 on Tottenham to win 11/8.

5 on Man City-Portsmouth to draw 9/4.
