Stupid footy bets...

Interested in stupid football related bets that people have taken. I have an idiot Blues supporter at work who has bet me that the blues will make the top 4 in 2008 AND will win the flag in 2009. If I win (and I am thinking I will) I get lunch at the restaurant of my choice. Looks like another $1500 lunch bill

Anyone else got similar examples of complete idiocy?

Very good thread,,we all have em somewhere during or before a season.

I havent made or accepted one yet,but with it now being the new year,i dont think it will be long before one of my meandering fruit loop or power failure friends pipe up with a stupid propisition which i will gladly accept for a few ales of that amber stuff

last year i bet with someone that the saints WILL NOT beat the wce over in perth for harveys 350th, and if they did win i cancel my flight home, and i will walk back to melbourne!
i didnt end up keeping my promise

Not a bet but a very very foolish call that I am still trying to live down.

"Mark McGough will be the recruit of the year"

There, I've said it & any credibility that I have on Saintsational is gone forever (& rightfully so).

Stupid Footy bets..

Me at primary school where I bet on each Blues match with a Blues supporter who knew a sucker when they saw one......though the upside is that this continual losing is probably why I don't gamble now

Blind faith can be a bad thing....

Last grand final, i proceeded to polish off the best part of a bottle of bourbon. Late in the game, I logged into my sportsbet account to find to my surprise that they'd left the odds for the cats on at $3.60. i quick put the remaining balance of my account (which was only $10) on them, only to find the odds were actually for the 2008 season!!!

In 2004 I bet $5 on Grammy to win the Brownlow. All he needed were about 21 more votes and I would have won $51000!

funny this thread is opened today
made a bet last night with a carlton supporter that carlton will finish higher on the ladder than stk after rd 22 for $50, i laughed and accepted the bet.

id like to think i am an overwhelming favourite for that

My stupid bet was that last year saints would make top8 and my bombers friend would have to wear this hot pink dress and heels down to the beach if i won. My friend said the bombers would make it and said if he won i have to wear his bombers jumper for a whole day.

To my surprise we both lost. However before agreeing to the bet we said if both teams didnt make it, then we would both do our dares.

Lets just say i wasnt the one that got the most stares!
