    You'd haver to lump in a decent sum to make it worthwile and for the time you'd have to wait to collect you'd be better sticking it somewhere else for a better return surely?

    Better return means less chance of winning though.

    Although, knowing my luck, Celtic would shoot themselves in the foot if I was to go through with it.

    If Hibs could cause the upset, i'd be willing to lose my stake, and forego any winnings i'd have won.

    You can get 3% on some ISA's and you won't feel guilty about it.

    I was thinking more of something with a fixed rate return as opposed to a bet!

    Is that like a 2% return?

    I know bank rates are low but you can get at least 3% out there and access to it if you need it!

    2% return. Look hard enogh and you'll find a fixed rate bond between 3-4% ;)

    You can only get 1/5 on them winning it for the next 5 years. Surely no-one is actually putting a bet on.

    You would be better backing them in each league game to be ahead at half time & full time, over the season you would make a nice profit.

    Hibs are 16/1 to win the SPL (in bettingwithout Celtic) each way is 1/3 the odds for 1st or 2nd.

    No doubt someone will put a bit of cash on that. They are certainties to win the league for the next 5 years.

    For comparing with bonds etc. it depends when they win it or, more accurately, when it pays out.

    Paddy Power will probably pay out by Christmas!

    16/1 to finish 2nd then?

    Its a bit of a fools bet. No way will we get anywhere near 2nd place this season. It's nice to dream though.
