£1000 just laid down in the bookies England don't make it through the next round...

[Doggy Styles]

That is what is known in the business as a "Housewife's Bet".

That is why the bookies put these bets out.

I think you will be losing that money in all honestly.

I bet on Cameroon because I like their shirts. I suppose you'll be telling me that was a housewive's bet too.

Just looked at this bet.

Assuming that England get the same odds on Algeria as they will get on Slovenia ( I do not know the ods but they will not be far off ) I would be placing your grand like this...


England

Lose Lose £100 * 56.25 = £5625
Draw Lose £200 * 32.5 = £3250
Lose Draw £200 * 32.5 = £3250
Draw Draw £500 * 18 = £9000

That is the only way England could have went out and you are getting a better possible return with that spread.
