    Yea i agree but id just thought id ask the bookies and when i included him the odds rocketed from 20/1 to 133/1! even if you just stick a fiver on youll get £665 back!

    And i will reveal what bookies 2mora after i have put the bet on. Otherwise if you do it the odds might change lol. Sounds silly but its happened 2 me b4.

    No offence but this is the kind of bet that bookies live for. The payout in no way reflects the chance of it winning. I guess you'll have already put the bet down by the time you happen to read this but it is not a good decision unless you genuinely don't care about the money.

    I used to gamble on sports for a living and I promise you parlays/accumulators at the devil.

    Also, just for future reference, you as an individual have no ability to move lines with a 10 pound bet. Hundreds of thousands have to come in on one side to move a line, so I wouldn't worry about the odds changing.
