Usually loyal Town fans betting on a Charlton win today ! |  | | |  |

I wouldn't agree with that today. Wanting a loss to get rid of Lambert is one thing but a loss today serves no purpose. However I'm expecting a big loss as we've given up and Charlton will be pumped.
Oh betting. I misread. Yes I've done the same.

I have never understood this thing about betting against your team.
You may want your team to win, but that has no bearing on whether you think it is likely. So what is the issue? |  | | |

You shouldn’t ever bet against your own team. There is absolutely no need for it imo. COYB | | | |

If you bet on your own team this season think the amount you would have lost | | | |

I wholeheartedly disagree with this. We know more about our team than the bookies so should use that against them. | |

Did Rommy do his experiment on betting on a win in every home game? I presume he must have given up or run out of money. [Post edited 17 Apr 2021 12:28]

Fair enough. Just my opinion. That said, I really don’t think we know more about our team than bookies from a betting POV.
My point being, when there’s 30+ other games (Top 4 English leagues) and multiple other global leagues, it’s pretty easy to avoid betting against your team. You can’t be having an odds on single? | | | |

Was inviting you to explain the logic. But there it is. | | | |

This is futile.
Let’s look at a different way of approaching this.
When you bet against your team, do you end up hoping your bet comes in, or your team wins? | | | |

You still want your team to win but get compensation if they lose | |

Betting against one's own team is a win win situation really...
If Town wins - we get to celebrate 3 points
if Town loses - we get a free commiserations pint...
Its genius really. |  |

Exactly. It's something of a win/win. |  |

Of course it was. Which brings us back to my question.
You have an acca on, you bet against us.
We’re losing, the others are winning. Do you want us to win, or your bet to come in? | | | |

I'd want us to win still. | |

So you’ve placed a bet you don’t want to come in?
Why not place a bet you do want to come in, when there’s so many other options? | | | |

Does what you hope have any impact whatsoever on what happens or what is likely? | | | |
