to get relegated, must say I am tempted after yesterday

to get relegated, must say I am tempted after yesterday

What are the odds on Hibs finishing top 6?

[Hibbyradge]

14/1 does seem generous, particularly as one of Hamilton's games in hand is against us at New Douglas Park!

It's not a game in hand if its against us:greengrin

I got 25/1 when I put my bet on this.

[Sammy7nil]

Next 5 games

Dundee Utd
Hearts
Celtic
Motherwell
Rangers

Arguably the 5 toughest teams in the League 14/1 is MASSIVE in 4 weeks we could be 4/1 or shorter a tidy wee profit to be made.

And if Hibs win 3 of these games then we will all be happy and wont mind losing a Pony

[Jim44]

14/1 is amazing and worth a punt if it wasn't so disloyal.

[IWasThere2016]

14/1 is amazing and worth a punt if it wasn't so disloyal.

Persuade HibbyAndy to bet on us going down and we're as safe as houses :agree:

[Ed De Gramo]

wow.....how pathetic can people get.

why don't you just rip up your ST and piss off along to the PBS?

[Jamesie]

wow.....how pathetic can people get.

why don't you just rip up your ST and piss off along to the PBS?

Or stick £20 on at 14/1 which should cover the cost of a season ticket in the First Division, or so you would hope :greengrin

Would you bet against it?

[bigstu]

we are ***** but i can almost guarantee we will not be relegated & i'm willing to be my flat on it. We've been there done that & itll not happen again! if we do get a sniff of that then we better pack in any protest crap & all get behind the team, i like many have done relegation & its not a nice thing, it can ruin a club.

[Tricla]

Any Hibs fan who puts money on us to get relegated is not a fan and can GTF as far as I'm concerned.

Get over yourself. You constantly take this uber fan position, and as far as I'm concerned, it makes you sound a wee bit sad.

[NAE NOOKIE]

I wouldn't bet against Hibs any more than I would bet on them. I like a punt now & again, but I have a superstition against betting on the Hibees.

Having said that ... If you are a betting man / woman and having seen our next 6 fixtures you would be mental not to stick a tenner on that. In fact I wouldn't be surprised if you bumped into half the bloody team in the bookies.

Betting is done with your head, not your heart.

So if people think 14/1 on Hibs going down is good value for money, it's there choice.
What if I take Hearts on the odd weekend on my coupon... Is that bad too?

Get a grip.

[HibbyAndy]

Are Hibs serious relegation candidates? You better believe we are.

[Hibercelona]

Have to admit to being a tad bit tempted myself.

Sad times... :boo hoo:

Precisely.

There is absolutely no connection between betting and team loyalty.
One is an attempt to win money. The other is about love for your team.
The two are not mutually exclusive.

I agree. I'm sneaking of to Hill's right now.

[Dub]

Unbelievable. I thought the bounce was getting a bit down because of our form. This takes the biscuit though. Betting on Hibs getting relegated. Any Hibs fan who does this should be ashamed of themselves.

And, you'll lose your money.

Explain to me why suggesting that those 'supporters' who bet on their own team being relegated should GTF makes me an uber fan?

I know that betting is done with your head and not your heart but I can't understand why Hibs supporter would want to prosper from our demise?

Sitting at ER watching us lose whilst banking on us being relegated seems more sad to me don't you think?

Or is that how us 'uber fans' think?

Unless people are talking about putting their life savings on the bet, then I doubt many would be sitting there willing the team to be relegated for the sake of a 10 quid bet or whatever.

IF they get relegated, there's 140 quid to help cheer you up, if not, great, you lost 10 quid, whoopee doo.

You seem to be suggesting that by putting money on people WANT Hibs to be relegated.

'my team have been relegated...never mind, i've got £?? to put towards a bevvy next week'

Nobody is going to say "never mind, I've got £x to put towards a bevvy", if Hibs get relegated every single one of us is going to be gutted, you better believe it. However in the cold light of day, a team that has lost 24 games in 2010, is 5 points off the bottom with Hamilton having 2 games in hand(one of which is a guarenteed 3 points against Hibs at home:rolleyes:) and players that WE KNOW don't have the bottle for a relegation fight, 14-1 is magic odds and my head says I'd be daft not to gamble on that.

[Killiehibbie]

Is there more than a 6.66% chance of us finishing bottom? If you believe there is buy it as an insurance policy. What are the chances of your house getting robbed or flooded? You buy insurance for that.

:confused:
Could not agree more.

[Calvin]

Could not agree more.

Why? I can either make money out of our misfortune or not. I would definitely rather lose my money than for Hibs to actually get relegated. We've got a very long thread on this board about profiting from the bookies. This is just another example.

It is entirely unrelated to my support of Hibs - I'll still be cheering them on for every point we can muster.

:na na:

A simple explanation is that you have taken it on yourself to decide who can and can't support the team. Slightly arrogant is the nicest way to describe that attitude.

What I think is sad is that you can't see that it is only a game. I realise it is more than that to some people, but maybe it is replacing something else in their lives :dunno:.

I'm also a bit worried that you don't seem to have any insight into your thoughts, and are asking someone else what you think. Your business, just like it's other people's business whether they bet against Hibs.

I don't think I could bet against them and enjoy it, but I think it's going a bit far to tell others to GTF if that's what they want to do.

[Phil D. Rolls]

I was being serious

I know. :rolleyes:

[Sammy7nil]

No Sentiment in Gambling

But

If anyone thinks because I may have £20 on Hibs to be relegated I want to see them relegated has serious issues.

It is a silly bet bet who cares it IS VALUE looking at next 6 fixtures.

How is that going to cheer any Hibs fan up if we were relegated?

You managed to deduce all of that from me telling some people to GTF for betting on their team to get relegated?

If you're not a psychologist then your in the wrong job!

What I deduced was that you sounded arrogant because you could only see your view of the situation. That's not psychology it's just common sense.

Then again, maybe the way I interpret getting told to GTF is different from others. :dunno:

Just for clarity, are people allowed to bet against Hibs, if not why not?

[Phil D. Rolls]

That is the problem with forums and social networks in general. You assumed I was being arrogant from what I typed but I was just giving my opinion which is what this site is all about.

People are in fact allowed to bet against Hibs both morally and legally. I wasn't saying they weren't allowed.

But in my opinion it isn't acceptable as a 'supporter' and I (like many, many others I'd wager) do not want to sit next to people at ER who would have some interest in us being relegated.

In my opinion they can GTF.

Those going all the time to games are best placed to know how a team is performing, thus if they don't see them staying up, they're entitled to have a bet on that. Football betting is done with your brains not heart.
The very fact they are at ER / games, means they're good fans. Especially to follow this crap!

So everyone entering ER now has to show not only their ST or match ticket, but a slip with Hibs on it, or at least Hibs not to lose on it?

jeez.

The problem is, if you type something that can be read in a different way from what you meant, it isn't other people's fault if they pick you up wrong.

FWIW, I couldn't bet against Hibs, but I don't think it is the worst thing someone can do. Leaving early, or booing your own player, or throwing your scarf on the pitch are the GTFs for me.

These are as bad as betting on Hibs to get relegated if you ask me if not worse because these acts do not mean you will prosper from Hibs demise nor do they mean you had interest in the clubs misfortunes from the outset. They are also GTF's in my book too though.

However based on your logic regarding the acceptableness of betting on Hibs to get relegated, leaving early is acceptable, if you want to, booing your own player is acceptable, if you want to and throwing your scarf on the pitch is acceptable, if you want to.

[blackpoolhibs]

If i thought we were going to be relegated, i'd snap the bookies hands off at 14/1. I have no problem betting against Hibs, you have to separate your head from your heart when betting.

Logic doesn't come into it, some things pee me off more than others, that's all. There's no right or wrong, just opinions.
