It was in the paper @ 10000 apparently but maybe due to alot of bets it's changed.

£10 staked! paddypower only willing to offer 750/1

There's still 21 games to go, plus 3 Rangers games on top of that.

Even if we say odds of 1.4 a game - which is not that generous considering half of those are away games - and evens to win each Old Firm game, again not that generous - you get 9300/1.

So 10,000/1 is decent odds, 2500/1 is not.

Classic bait-&-switch from Laddies. :icon_mrgreen:

Really?? I just had a look before our game on Saturday and it had already been cut to 500/1 and then it was pulled after

Well when a bookie offers odds of 10,000/1 on a fairly high-profile event, there is only so much money they can afford to take on it. No matter how certain they are that it won't happen - even if the actual odds were 50,000/1 - they always have to allow for the scenario that it might happen, not leave themselves open to catastrophe.

The other thing they're thinking about is stuff out the blue - some billionnaire with tax write-off issues invests 60 million in Celtic next week, on condition that it's all spent on players in the winter transfer window. Suddenly even 2,500/1 is looking perilous for the bookie. They always like to play it safe.

To be honest, I reckon the main reason for offering 10,000/1 on that is publicity. Like Paddy Power or Betfair paying out very early on a league that isn't decided yet - gets them free column inches.

How good would it be if you won though? :56: Got my fingers crossed... :50:

Sticking £2 on it, sure what is £2 worth nowadays. A bag of skittles and a bottle of coke is all it would get me.

40/1 now, that is an absolute joke man... Would have stuck £5 on it but not worth it now.

40/1 is shocking odds. Expecting at least 100/1 still.

There's no way this'll happen.

This bet is haunting me every single day, i couldnt find it on the website and dont have a local ladbrokes, so never bothered to put it on! Going to be sick if it comes in, although delighted at the same time as we will be champions!! :bbpd:

Yeah, 16 straight wins, two of which are against Rangers. Real odds should be somewhere around 400/1 atm.

But the fact the price is so low is a very good indicator that the bookies are rattled.

Folk who got on this at 10000/1 - or even 2500 - must be starting to get a bit excited now. If we go another 10 games without dropping a point, there's gonna be some serious arsesqueakery going down. :56:

Thing is though, if we don't drop a single point from here on in, the league will likely be won with about 5 or 6 games still to go. At which point, with the best will in the world, our foot will be off the gas. And if we're playing team who are battling for a UEFA Cup spot etc, they are simply going to want it more.

if that happens, depending on how much you stand to win, sacrifice some of your winnings, and lay us for them last few games, or whats most likely to happen is ladbrokes will probably try to settle with you

Dam wish i had seen this thread back in November,would have put a bet on.40/1 is pretty pish now for winning 16 games in a row even with the high pay outs they might have to do.
