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

    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:

    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.
