By laying you are acting as the bookmaker. So I am effectively offering someone to bet £1000 with me to win £70 on Spurs finishing in the top 4.

If Spurs finish top 4 I lose £70. If we balls up today or against Bournemouth and Everton which is perfectly possible and finish outside the top 4 I collect £1000. In traditional betting odds Spurs are 1/14 to finish top 4 hmmm

Fair enough. Still not sure I get it, but then again I don’t gamble.

Although I did put money on us to go down when we were rock bottom under Ramos, which was also to soften the blow.

I thought it was because they all enjoy the comedy of Mrs. Brown's Boys and have regular viewing parties.

More fun to watch that fucking drivel than their football.

I'll bet you £70 right now that we finish Top 4, you pessimistic so and so.

you do realise that betting £70 you will only stand to win £4.90. Even the most optimistic Spurs fan must choke at those odds.

It's an insurance policy against any breakages in the house if we naff up

You just know they will score the first away goal at the New Lane. Like a cup final winner for them.

We should have laid some cheap carpet in front of the away fans, just to make them feel at home.
