If you'd bet on us to draw every home game 0-0

[KenMcnaughtsNuts]

you could have bought the club

average odds about 10/1 at a rough guess. 23 home games, 6 0-0s.

a quick phone call to hfs loans (do they still exist??), a £1 million bet (im sure betfred would take it...) on every game to be 0-0.
youd now be up about £50million!

nobody have a go at mccabe again, you all had your chance but blew it!

new clean sheet record for a season , woo hoo

A shit as we are, it's not going for it at home that has cost us promotion. Wilson rightfully paid the price for reducing Sheffield United to a club that was afraid to go for the kill at home to teams like Carlisle, Hartlepool and Yeovil. As depressing a fact as actually being a third division club.

I bet on us to draw today and for every £1 you bet you got £3.40 back. So it didn't make me quite as much as you predicted just left me feeling depressed at another poor performance

In fairness, over the season, Yeovil proved to be a better side than us

I've read this about ten times over and I still don't get it.

Normally about 7/1 on a 0-0. If you'd had a tenner (assuming you couldn't find a loan company to give you an unsecured £23m loan to gamble away) at each match, you'd have won six times, returning £420 (excluding stake) but would have lost 17 times, losing £170, giving a profit of £250 over the season. This gambling lark is easy when you know what the scores were!

As an aside, never bet on a 0-0. Bet on no first goal scorer instead. You get the same odds but it also covers 1-0 where the scorer is an own goal.

Never thought about that one, but makes sense.

Having said that picking a correct score is virtually impossible for me

I was told bet on the last goal scorer, same odds and the bet is alive right to the end of the game. Not sure if this is true or not.

Not if the player you bet on gets subbed it isn't...

Because for 50% of our games, we've played at home like an away team.
