Yes the bet is settled at the end of the season.It's a credit bet.If you've got a bad credit rating then obviously they won't let you open an account.They'll have your card number and bank account details.Think you get an initial £2k credit but if you want more than that you need to show proof of earnings. Fair play to you then. I'd never risk that amount (currently down 1250 quid I assume). Saying that, you're far more likely to make a tidy sum now. I'm surprised the bookies didn't start higher at 50 points tbh. I normally have £400 per point but bookies are getting closer to rating us now,so I reduced my stake.First season in the prem was the best,I bought at 29 points and we got 45 points. The points are updated every game,so you don't have to do the bet before the season starts.Leicester's points could have been bought at 40 before this season started!

Is there a minimum bet for this mate? What are the points for us now?

Wouldn't like to be a fan who bet on either of these this season: Villa (39) - currently 16 pts Man United (75) - currently 47 pts Chelsea (83) - Currently 40 pts You're looking at probably -15, -15 and -25 points difference respectively.

It's the sheer madness of it that baffles me £50 to win the league for Leicester, at the time of putting that on he would not in his wildest dreams expected a return.
I'm fairly financially stable but wouldn't dream of betting that amount on those odds it's lunacy. The bookies are gonna rake it in next season when hundreds of thousands start to put this type of bet on just in case.

The bookies are gonna rake it in next season when hundreds of thousands start to put this type of bet on just in case. Its not madness if you look at the numbers of high odds betting. The millions of zombies who trip down to their corner shop every week to place £2 on a lottery that has winning odds of 44 million to 1 that's £104 per year with pretty much no chance of winning. If on the other hand you bet half of that on your beloved team to win you have way more chance of winning. Overall high odds betting will lose you money which is way people use spread betting or cover bets.

£100 quid per point. 47 points and no money changes hands. Right got ya. Not really done much betting in the past so forgive my ignorance You're going be quids in with that one I reckon. I'm the same mate. My spread bet was actually placed on my behalf by someone else who has an internet betting account. He was telling me about it and asked my opinion on Stoke and 47 points. I said it was a nailed on winner and I'd have a bit of that. I have my stupid £ 10 on Stoke to win the league every year and occasionally bet on the first goalscorer. That aside, I don't bother. He ended up betting on Stoke, Accrington Stanley and Burnley. He's going to win a small fortune. Burnley are close to passing "par" already and Accrington already have. 47 points for us was easy money even with the gravity crocodile looming beneath!

Fair play mate,I wish I'd known about these so called bets before this season started. As you say easy money,although there are a few on here who would have been shitting themselves after four games

M Is there a minimum bet for this mate? What are the points for us now? Current spread for Stoke points is 53.5-54.5. Minimum bet is 33p per point! im intrigued and want to know more. I think/hope we can get at least 55 points this year. 3 wins out of next 9. But doubt theres much profit to be made unless betting big for the remainder of this season

£100 quid per point. 47 points and no money changes hands. That's a spread bet mate.I'm on for £250 per point,but I bought at 48. Running out of games for you two to make some serious profit. Think you'll both get some profit but I don't see us beating last seasons point tally tbh.

I tried to put a bet on Sunderland winning it, but the bookie said "go home mate, you're drunk."

If Sunderland stay up they are sure to win the league next year!

I've got an each way handicap bet on, still hoping we'll make the top 4, it's paid off handsomely for the last 2 seasons, we've placed both times, hopefully this'll be 3 in a row.

I had 54 points in my mind at start of season so I'm happy enough with anything close to that which remains very "do able". Whatever I win, I will put on a similar bet next season. In some ways, a poor finish for us might make next season even more of a no brainer :-)

I have a tenner on us winning the league every year, as long as we win it in the next 50-100 years I'll probably get my money back.

Are you sure about that? Would have thought that 30 points was only added to stoke's total points hence the relatively short odds of 15/1 to top the league. Literally it would be pointless to add 30 points to all other teams totals.

Every team is given a differing amount of points quoted at the start of the season.These points are then added to the final points tally to determine the winner.Hence why it's called a handicap bet.Every team is originally priced at 15/1.

Thanks for clarifying was unaware that each team were given differing points at the start of the season rather like different weights given to horses in a handicap race.
