A few of the other boards have one of these, I think its quite a good idea for those who like a gamble on the game every now and again.

Maybe even a sticky, although some of the other boards have them for every event possible, from Rugby to Football to Horse racing.

One for our financial advisor chaps out there.

Advise your clients to put their savings on Leeds to finish in the top 8. The odds currently stand at 1/41 which represents a 2.4% return on your money. Tax free as well!!

Not many banks can match this at present.

You have to pay a fee to Betfair so you will not achieve this return.

6% you'll have deducted from your return.

A far better bet would be:

Amir Khan: World Champion by End of 2009

Yes (WBA, WBC, IBO, WBO): 6/4 with Ladbrokes
No: 11/10 with Hills

I'll leave you guys to do the maths on that one :wink:
