Today we were 23/10, yesterday United were 15/2 so by my calculations a £10 bet would have netted you a £172.50 profit. Yesterday, I was a guest of the FA at the Cup Final, the full works, Royal Box Suite from 12 noon, lovely meal, Row 9 Royal Box seat. The subject of betting odds did come up at lunchtime on the table I was on, one chap pointed out that United were longer odds to beat City yesterday than Southampton were in 1976 to beat United!!! (15/2 yesterday v 6/1 in 76) He said it was a good omen so he’d had ‘a few bob’ on it. Turns out that few Bob was a £1k bet - he’s giving half his winnings to the food bank in Manchester that Marcus Rashford supports. Pretty surreal day all round, not something I normally do or I am used to, but all things considered with today included it has been a somewhat unique footballing weekend 🙂⚽️🏆🥂😇 | |
