How much would you be willing to pay...

[C C Csiders]

Would you be willing to pay £5, £10, £20, £50, or more to see the Shrimpers to victory tomorrow.

My advice would be to calculate the amount you would be willing to forego for a victory (a night's beer money, for example, or that money for a new pair of shoes you put aside). Then go to William Hill and put that amount on Swansea to win at 11/5.

Then, if we win you have paid that amount you would be willing to forego. If its a draw we are still top of the league, so que sera. If we lose, then you go to WH and withdraw your insurance money.

For the record I have £40 on the Swans at 11/5. I am willing to pay that amount to see us beat them - if Trundle does his diving tricks I collect £128.

I'd give up the balance of my PayPal account for a win - currently 100 pounds sterling.

I'm really poor so I can't afford this kind of thing.

In theory I'd pay 50 quid or so though.

12/5 on Bet365 ...

I can't believe there are "fans" out there backing the other team!!

I was merely stating a better price ...

You miss the point. It's insurance against the unthinkable. I would be willing to lose my money to see my team win, just as I am willing to pay home insurance against my house burning down.

That is quite a good method. if i ws 18, i would put 30 quid on it but im only 15

If I could bet I'd stick a fiver down, only because it's all I've got. Otherwise I'd put every last penny Abramovich has on it.

Exactly. If you are going to do something like this, at least make sure you get best price! 12/5 also available with Stan James.

A tiny bit of 5/2 is available at Betfair.

Stroll in to a betting shop. Look confident. Hopefully they won't ask your age! Always worked for me when I was 15

5 minutes to go until KO and I can't get a commentary. Odd...
