Celtic Championship Bets Pay Out If Hearts Lose

Joe · 11-03-2006, 05:36 PM

Paddy power have announced that if Celtic beat Hearts at the weekend then they will pay out all single bets on the Parkhead side winning the league!!

They see Celtic as being too far ahead for either Rangers or Hearts to catch.

Wiser men than I have said that it is not often that the bookies are wrong but is this just pushing it a little. Rangers are 12 ponts behind with 3 old firm games to go too!

What are your views?

far too soon. We're not even half way through the season. The SPl isn't that poor, there will still be some twists and turns to come. Maybe if it was Feb or March, then i could say with confidence that Celtic have won the title. In fact, this may inspire the rest as they will feel slighted. I remember not too long ago Celtic being something like 12 points ahead of the sons of satan, only for them to pip us to the post on the last day.

Seems unbelieveable paying out in November

theo kawala · 11-03-2006, 06:38 PM

To be honest i think if everyone thought about it Celtic would be the top to win. The bookies think that Lyon are going to win the Ligue 1 which is almost sure really.

To soon

theo kawala · 11-04-2006, 07:53 AM

Im not sure. Only if they keep this form going.

goldenHuddlestone · 11-04-2006, 01:49 PM

Its probably just a puiblicity thing

aisuru · 11-04-2006, 05:57 PM

well, Celtic have come from behind to win 2-1, so it looks like Paddy's paying out.

13 points clear at the top and we're only into November... doesn't bode well for Rangers' future if the bookies are saying it's over at this stage!

Joe · 11-04-2006, 06:25 PM

It does not bode well for Rangers at all.

Sounds as though Celtic were lucky only to be 1-0 down going into the latter stages with Hearts missing some great chances. But if we play badly like this and can still ground out a win shows that there is plenty of fight in this team.

theo kawala · 11-05-2006, 02:41 PM

I think the best Rangers can do is 2nd now.

squid · 11-05-2006, 04:31 PM

Hearats apparently played very and were extremely unlucky to fail to win nevermind lose the game. I think Celtic will win the title, and that there will be a good competition between Rangers and Hearts for 2nd place.

But I dont htink Paddy Power should be playing out. Its a publicity scam and I think it shows a severe lack of respect to the other teams and thier supporters. But Celts fans that put money on the 'tic wont be complaining.

aisuru · 11-05-2006, 06:15 PM

i listened to the game on the wireless out in the garage, and Hearts were indeed lucky to lose the three points. they were playing better for most of the game, and Celtic didn't seem to get into it until the last twenty minutes. they came back when the crowd started getting behind them, and managed a goal. the real kick in the nuts for Hearts though was the unlucky mistake by Gordon in injury time, leading to the own goal which sealed it. the 'Tic did well to battle back for the draw, but can't really take any credit for winning the game.

theo kawala · 11-06-2006, 11:45 AM

Soooo whats going to happen to Hearts now?

goldenHuddlestone · 11-06-2006, 01:08 PM

They'll all be sold and Romanov will have to play in goal

theo kawala · 11-06-2006, 04:43 PM

Ha

Are you sure hes going to sell all them and then build a team or something. I'll laugh if Romanov changed his mind and gave em all a contract

. When will he talk to the press or tell any1 what hes going to do. Has he given a press confirence yet?

goldenHuddlestone · 11-06-2006, 05:57 PM

Not that I'm aware of

theo kawala · 11-06-2006, 06:09 PM

Hes being quiet. Maybe Practising for when the press get him.

Malaka 69 · 11-06-2006, 08:32 PM

it can't be over already. the spl reminds me of the greek league, among others, although our big three are only seperated by a few points.

theo kawala · 11-07-2006, 08:41 AM

Who are the big three?

I think just about every league is dominated by 2 or 3 teams.

theo kawala · 11-07-2006, 09:09 PM

Yer true but teams that are little always do something special at the start but then crash and burn near the end as Portsmouth were doing and Wigan last season like Palermo are doing in Italy and Sevilla doing in the Spanish etc.
