just had a search over the forum (havent been on since middle/late january) and seen there was a few people who were talking about my bet!

Its still running, its to win every game, and i backed it for £10 at 2500/1! there are a few people who managed to get 10000/1! before ladbrokes realised this was a big msitake!   Laddies stand to lose 2.5 mil if this pisses in!

Celtic have been hammering sides away from home, however the goals have dried up at celtic park!!

9 games to go, and the bet is currently 5/1! Ladbrokes PR guy said back in october that there was more chance of Mcdonalds scrapping burgers than this bet coming up!

I tweeted him this quote with a ;)  , he replied saying they are getting very worried about this one!

Heres my dilema, 9 games and i win 25k, however if was able to settle for around 2-4k (4k being very wishful)
it would be better to put all that money on the remaining games seperately (ie. what ever i win on one game with the full stake of my settlement, i put the whole lot on the next game) it would actually work out better odds than what im currently getting, taking in to account celtic would be 1.3sh for any home game , and 1.5 for aways, and old firms being 1.8sh.

just thought id give yous guys an update!

Im a 22 year old skint! who follows the glorious glasgow celtic :) will be an epic ending to my final year at uni if it comes in!!

i remember reading about your bet a bit ago, forgot about it and dont really follow scottish footy that much so didnt realise it was still runnning!  id be getting worried now mate!  but anyways as you stand to lose 25000 if they lose, what are you doing?? are you laying them every game so if they do lose you will at least make some money?? but no offence but have you got enough money in your bank on here to lay them for large amounts for the last 9 games?

rangers getting docked so many points should be a factor, in the last few games

celtic will switch off eventually unless Lennon is mad keen to win every game

any tricky away trips to sides looking to stay up?

And they haven't conceded an away goal since the 6th november!

Great bet and well spotted.

As someone who has been in the game a while, take it from me, trade the bet. It might be more difficult than you think, though. I'd expect the odds to come right down if they manage to beat Rangers at Ibrox next time, you're looking at an 8/1 shot then. If it gets that far, you'll have some real bargaining power.

Even if the bet comes up, it's good practice to have traded some of it and if you're good at spotting value, the 4k you might take out of it can be the start of a proper betting bank.

Why don't you make an offer on here at Betfair for 5-6 K
Some rich punter might settle it for you and take the risk . You get out at 5k and they take the risk for 25K
He puts the 5k in an escrow account for you and you send him the bet slip when cleared
He gets 5/1 shot on a very good bet

you wont get another chance to make 25k for a tenner like this ,let it run a lttle longer
there is little more u can do unless u have funds to start laying off ,in which case you
could ask bf to put a win out market up ,they would do that for you as there would probably
be a bit of interest anyway ,g luck  ...

A win on Saturday should be no problem. Celtic always get the decisions at Aberdeen. You name it, Celtic get it, and if they don't get it, it's a conspiracy. They never lose fair and square, ever. No doubt Lennon will have his boys primed to lose their balance in the box at every opportunity this weekend.

Hopefully Craig Broon has the balls to take the players off once we get our usual penalty and red card given against us.

That was my first thought but the longer the run continues the more determined they will be to keep it intact. Don't make a deal with the bookmakers as you'll get ripped off.

Why not email Betfair to put the market up.

It could generate some good will as the prices at PP & Lads are a joke considering the likely remaining fixtures.

Bookies reveal Celtic's draw with Aberdeen saved them a fortune

Mar 4 2012 By Derek Alexander
http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news
WORRIED bookies ­yesterday dodged a record £5million payout – thanks to an own goal by Celtic youngster Andre Blackman.

Hoops midfielder Joe Ledley sparked a betting frenzy in ­October when he said Celtic would have to win every game until the end of the season to have any chance of ­gaining the SPL title.

Fans queued up to pile on the cash when Ladbrokes priced the Parkhead club as 10,000/1 to sweep to victory in every match they played.

Anxious bookmakers then slashed the odds to 2500/1, then 1000/1 when the team kept ­winning and Rangers slumped into adminstration.

And before yesterday’s match against Aberdeen at Pittodrie the odds had been cut to just 5/1.

But an own goal by debut boy Blackman, 21, put an end to ­ Celtic’s 17-game winning streak – and saved the betting industry a record loss.

Celtic’s Anthony Stokes had given his team the lead before ­luckless Blackman diverted a shot into his own net a minute before half-time.

Ladbrokes spokesman Alex Donohue said last night: “The ­payout would have been £5million and it would have landed the ­biggest ­gamble in ­Scottish ­football ­betting history.

“The ­prospect of Celtic winning every game kept us awake at night for months on end.

“We are ­raising a glass to ­Aberdeen tonight.” Celtic are a ­massive 21 points in front of rivals Rangers, who were docked 10 points after going into ­administration last month.

Some book­makers have already paid ­punters who bet on Celtic ­winning the league at the start of the ­season.
Report shudacuda March 4, 2012 11:03 PM GMT
What a load of absolute pi sh from Ladcrooks.
