Surprised the bookie in question took the bet. They once refused me 500 on an even money NFL handicap bet! hurlingdub (Dublin) - Posts: 6978 - 19/09/2014 13:30:49 1653849 Link 0 |
Did the story not say a return on 209? That is not winning. gotmilk (Fermanagh) - Posts: 4971 - 19/09/2014 13:39:54 1653863 Link 0 |
I'm pretty sure he'll be paid out €209k... €121+€88k being €209.....!!!! Catchingcrows88 (Derry) - Posts: 2 - 19/09/2014 13:40:53 1653864 Link 0 |
I think what they mean is his €121k + €88k winnings add up to €209k chriscart580 (Meath) - Posts: 376 - 19/09/2014 13:41:00 1653865 Link 0 |

Well we don't know the mans financial situation but if he is a millionaire then why not? yew_tree (Mayo) - Posts: 11230 - 19/09/2014 14:14:56 1653886 Link 0 |
Catchincrows, he stands to win 88,000, not 209,000. hurlingdub (Dublin) - Posts: 6978 - 19/09/2014 14:23:47 1653892 Link 0 |
I'd be a bit sceptical to be honest given the particular firm's notorious reluctance to lay big bets, or even not so big bets as in my case! Only possible reason might be that they have cleaned up with Dublin and Mayo having gone out and have a few quid to risk. hurlingdub (Dublin) - Posts: 6978 - 19/09/2014 14:27:39 1653895 Link 0 |
should have covered himself in case of a draw to get back 8000 less,draw no bet was 4/6,if game is a draw both teams will probably be 10/11 the next day,hope they win but I have a feeling Kerry will do it kasbah_bliss (Longford) - Posts: 41 - 19/09/2014 14:31:32 1653898 Link 0 |
As a keen punter for over 20 years,this is a very risky bet.Cant see the value in it.Didnt even cover the draw,just in case.Brave man all the same.Hope he has enough toilet roll in for the second half. cuederocket (Dublin) - Posts: 5084 - 19/09/2014 14:32:14 1653899 Link 0 |
Id go for it being Joey Barton!! bumpernut (Antrim) - Posts: 1852 - 19/09/2014 15:34:11 1653941 Link 0 |
Could be Joey Barton. The 121,000 euro is equivalant to 100,000 pounds sterling. Inthrough (Donegal) - Posts: 32 - 19/09/2014 16:24:14 1653977 Link 0 |
