I've been betting on football games for 40 years, not once have I bet on that lot, not once.
I'll never understand a Hibs fan wanting Hearts to win, ever.

Sounds like you've missed a few opportunities for easy money in that case. I'll take a win off the bookies any way I can get it. If that means betting hearts then so be it.

Aye shocking - they should have had ten men which might have made a difference with Livvy winning on corners. Although it was 6-0 to Livvy on corners tbf

Weird.
You've got a bet on Hearts to win and they're drawing in the last few minutes. Are you going 'c'mon Hearts', do you cheer if they score?
F~~k that

Aye, I just couldn’t do that. Maybe petty, but I couldn’t.

After all these years I hardly cheer my bets. I'm probably more glad I called it right and then off checking to see how the next one is doing!

No really. Some people are able to keep their bets separate from their feelings towards teams and just stick a coupon on based who they think will win.

Not saying I’m one of those people but it doesn’t upset me that someone else has money on hearts if they see value in it.

If I only bet on teams I liked I wouldn’t have much to punt and I would never win.

[babahibs]

Yeah, I get that.
Still weird though, wanting Hearts to win.

£20 on Newcastle @12/5

I just came on to say that I fancy Newcastle quite strongly but, the price isn't quite big enough. Good luck 🤞

I've backed Hearts to beat Hibs in bets before, games i've travelled up to watch, but not once have i cheered when they scored or not wanted us to get an equalizer when loseing.

I can just see the value in some odds when we play them.

Sounds about right. Worked well last season unfortunately.

I did something I haven't done in my life, I cashed out and lost a fiver after 10 minutes. The writing was on the wall very early on.

Ok, seems like I'm the weird one then but I'll never understand this.
I spend a lot of time searching for value bets, sometimes a Hearts win is value but I'll never back it.
I want my bets to win, never Hearts.

I did a couple of times take hertz though have stopped when I realised I'd rather them to lose than gain a few quid. I've never backed any team against Hibs and never would though each to there own as they say .

Given the history of the fixture, Hearts are often very overpriced when it comes to the derby.

Biggest bet I've ever put on was £100 at evens in the 2006 semi. That was never ever a 50/50 game, I'd have happily given up more than £100 to have beaten them, and it paid for a hell of a lot of sorrow drowning.

Here's an example I never took on - they were 8/1 to end Celtic's 246 game unbeaten run a few years back. Someone was going to beat them, and I had a horrible feeling it would be them - Lafferty and all. If they were 1-0 up in injury time I'd have still wanted Celtic to equalise, but it's hardly a weird mindset to offset your preferred emotional outcome with a decent financial compensation.

Half time Luton full time City. £5.00 @ 20/1. Sweet.

[Crunchie]

£15 on the draw with pompey and bolton pays out £49.50

[flash]

Over 12 corners at Portsmouth. Tight stadium. 9/4 your cash.

Unbelievably they were 5/4 at one stage, I got greedy and doubled them with arsenal. Well done you

Only had £50 on, and cashed out with a minute to go for £99.07.

Let’s be honest here, anyone who likes a punt on the fixed odds and does it with their heart rather than their head (brain) is asking for trouble. That’s why I often bet teams i don’t want to win ! Sometimes I’m happy enough to lose my stake if my favourite teams take the 3 points.
