Title: A Sunday Scenario
Post by: nico2708 on May 20, 2011, 12:03:37 AM
if wigan lose 1-0 at stoke @17/2
if blackpool lose 2-0 at man utd @ 17/2
if birmingham lose 3-0 at tottenham @11/1

birmingham will be relegated @ 4/6

if all these things did happen
a 30p lucky 15 (outlay of £4.50) would win you around £1146


could this happen???

i chose that Scenario because all 3 teams would finnish on the same points (39) and the same goal differance (-23)

it would then go down too goals scored and bloose would go down with wigan as blackpool have scored more goals than the other two

I'll settle for a Wigan win at Stoke, Man City win at Bolton, and Albion to draw - then a win for us sees us finish a much more respectable 9th. I'd be happy at that even if Small Heath cling on for another season.

1. wigan lose 1-0 at stoke @17/2
2. blackpool lose 2-0 at man utd @ 17/2
3. birmingham lose 3-0 at tottenham @11/1
4. birmingham will be relegated @ 4/6

Don't know if I can explain this very well, but outcome 4 is a contingent outcome of 1, 2 and 3, so you you can't multiply the odds on 1,2,3 and 4. I don't think the bookie would pay out the full amount.

You can certainly have a multiple of 1,2 and 3, though.

Absolutely, more important to be top dogs in the region.  Anyway, once we got over Small Heath being relegated - if that is possible - we would start to miss the annual dogfights.

That's right. The bookies have a related contingency rule so you couldn't have the Noses to be relegated in that bet. For the same reason you also couldn't throw in a bet on their fans going on the rampage after the game or them going bust by Christmas!

Blues will lose 2-0
Blackpool will lose 2-0
Wigan will get a point at Stoke in a 1-1 draw.

Blues get relegated and we can have something to smile about at the end of a piss poor season.

It's likely more supporters at VP on sunday will be more interested in the scores at
White Hart Lane / Old Trafford / Britannia-

Wouldn't be surprised if the drama will continue right up to final whistle goal
difference being the same and goals scored counting ?

It will be just like that lot across the Aston Expressway to get fluke result, not
bothered either way - they mean nothing to me-

But there might be a jolly good knees up in the Holte Pub afterwards which I
will willingly join in -

Would I balls. I absolutely detest having to let them pollute our ground.

It isn't enough that they just get relegated, they have to be relegated in excruciating circumstances

Peter Crouch to lash one in from 30 yards during injury time to leave them level on GD with Blackpool or Wigan and send them down on goals scored.

Edit: Ideally the Blues would have been winning 0-2 at half time and Crouch's goals makes it 5-2

It'd be fantastic if they went down on goals scored, they've been horrible anti-football for as long as I can remember, desperately relying on there defence while attempting to scuff one in at the other end and hold onto it, horrible vile club.

I hate playing them, it's a pain in the arse, i hope they go down and stay down for a very long time.

I want to see an unfair, unjust and unlucky a relegation as has ever been suffered by any team in history if possible.  They're vermin.

Oh, and if they do drop, I want this played at VP

I agree with all those above, I hate the derby against that lot, it is a horrible event. The only good thing about them is the final whistle if we win.

All my none Villa supporting friends suggest to me that I must enjoy the banter and the rivalry? To which I say 'I f@$king hate it'  They don't understand so sod em.

A mate who supports Spurs just offered me a free ticket for the game tomorrow - I'll get to see them go down!

Spurs 3-0, Man Utd 3-1, Wigan to stay up with a 1-1 draw at Stoke.
