I agree - but if I stood to win 1400 quid off 70 quid I'd still be shitting it no matter how 'safe' it appeared. It certainly sounded like he was from the text he sent me...

I'll buy it off him for £200 if he's shitting it that much!
Or why doesn't he lay the bet as an insurrance?
What, just put another 70 on barca to win?
No - bet about £400 on Barca to win the cup
At the minute, it's nothing or £1400 right.
If he bet on Barcelona - £400 then there would be two scenarios.
Win about a grand or win about £300.
Let me get this right.
He's invested £70 to win £1400. At the minute it's a win -lose situation for your mate.
so scenario 1 Man Utd win the cup means he pockets £1400.
Scenario 2 Barca win cup means he will be £70 out of pocket.
If he invested £400 on Barca and they won the CL, then he'd win £364.
He would be in a win -win situation.
Scenario 1 - Man Ud win - He pockets £1400 - but loses £400 on the Barca bet. Meaning he wins £1000.
Scenario 2- Barca win - he wins £364 -but take the £70 bet away, means he's still £294 in profit.
I'd much prefer to do this as it's a win win and he still gets a wedge if Man Utd win.

Seems almost sensible, but the 90 minute/penalties issue might cause him some problems. Is his current bet over the 90 or after et/penalties? What would his lay off bet be?
His current bet should be an outright bet surely?
I'd be surprised if it was anything else.
He would also have to bet on Barcelona to win the cup outright and not after 90 minutes.
The odds are 10-11 but he might be able to get better odds.

You'd hope so, but we've all known the fuck ups that can come after not specifying and given bet winnings ain't legally enforceable I certainly hope he's made it clear.

You got me thinking now!
I was talking profit.
And if the maths was done right you could almost guarantee I dunno something around 800 by increasing the barca to win bet out of the 1400 ...interesting, say laying 600...someone do the maths

I think it will be Utd's after penalties. And I'm hoping for a great game but for some reason I'm doubting that will happen. Here's hoping!
You could do it that way I guess. But then, if Man Utd won, you'd be a bit pissed off that you didn't let it roll - i.e just had the orginal - win/lose bet.
This way, you get a nice 4 figure sum if Man Utd win and get a consolation £300 if they don't.
