Darren Bent - Top Premiership Goalscorer

[edson]

Get on Defoe 25-1

Aye, but the winnings are £660. :wink:

You all got it wrong anyway.

The guy said a tenner EACH WAY.

So if Bent did top the scoring chart then he would actually make a profit of £825 (or £845 with his stake included).

You fella's were quick to take the piss but then gave the wrong answer.

:rofl:

:bow: Fair play, got me

Speaking of which, can someone explain an each way bet to me, cause I've never been told.

An each way bet is just a bet consisting of 2 seperate bets. One to win and one to place.

The win part is obviously straight forward and the selection must win for the bet to be successful.

The place part will depend on what type of market you are betting on. Generally you will be getting either 1/4 or 1/5 of the win odds for your selection to be anything from 2nd to possibly 7th depending on the market.

In the Top Goalscorer market you would most likely be getting 1/4 the odds 1st to 4th place. So, if Darren Bent did come 3rd then you would get 1/4 of 66/1 for your place bet which equals 16.5/1.

Hope that helps.

But surely that'd be a "£20 hit". A "£10 hit" would surely be a fiver each way, meaning you'd win half of that? :wink:

 

[liberty]

at those odds what would be the winnings for a £10 hit?

LOL! You idiot. Betting or no betting I assume you did maths at school!

Good time to get in on an each-way. If Ronaldo, Adebayor and Drogba bugger off those odds will drop a fair bit.

Is anyone offering odds for top English goalscorer?

This thread is lol.

There is a reason why Bent is 66/1.

your quite a funny fucker :rofl:

I started a thread a few weeks ago about how Bent could be the surprise of the season (although top Prem goalscorer might go a bit far).

I think he will be the one to really benefit from the creative additions to midfield. Keane and Berbatov get attracted to the ball, they had to because there was no/little creativity from midfield.

Bent attacks the space, he's much more likely to get on the end of things and tap in rebounds, plus he has real pace to go over the top. Cant tell you the number of times I was frustrated to see a ball go across the six yard box and no one was in the penalty box.

But then again if the midfield is more creative perhaps Keane/Berbatov would get in the penalty box a lot more. Either way, I'd like to keep Bent (and the others) for a season at least, and give it one big go.

But the thread starter said he's having a cheeky tenner each way, meaning it would cost him £20 in total. :up:

Not unless things have changed a lot since I used to be the bookies' best friend, it wouldn't.

Thanks a lot, bud. Rep coming your way.

sorry just getting back to the actual stament of bent being top scorer and the claim rk and db r too similair well the reason ther so good together is because they can both drop off and make thing happen and they can both be goal scorers so they can take it in turns to drop off. plus the fact is in the 2 years berba and keane have played together they have scored 96 goals so that says it all.

Who ever said Bent is 66/1 for a reason is right. The reason is / reasons are . .

1) He's looked absolute shit in games for both club and country since he came to us.
2) Darren Bent scored a big bag full of goals in a poor Charlton team because they used to lump the ball foward to him at any given chance in a boring long ball 4-5-1.

Even if we did play Bent as the 1 up front in a 4-2-3-1 like someone suggested the 3 behind him would most likely be Dos Santos Modric and Lennon. This would mean having three players who all like to 'keep ball' and play to feet. Making us an even more anti-long ball team than we already are. 66/1 sounds pretty shite to me. Would rather take Bobby Zomora at fulham at 100/1!........:wink:

Two facts you hadnt considered or considered but chose to ignore are:

1) Bent hardly got enough of a run to be fairly compared to the contributions of Berb, Keane and defore

2) Yes, Bent did play for a poor Charlton side, but scored goals against some of the best defence in the country.

I think theres a huge difference in saying someone 'Has looked shit' and 'Is shit'. Nor was i denying that he scored goals against the big guns in the EPL. All i am saying is that if you wanted to pick a striker who least fits our style of play it would be Bent. I dont see how you can disagree. We are not a long ball team, Charlton are / were. And as for your first point i think you were trying to just fill space in your post as that does not apply to anything im saying. And dont question my inrelligence when it comes to spurs.

I simply mentioned two facts which would have countered your statements. Its tough if you feel your intelligence has been questioned, but you have to be big enough to accept criticism / corrections etc. This does happen when you write on a public forum. Deal with it.

 

[juande.is.a.yido]

You were the one who said i should put some, 'thought and intelligence before i posted'. you did say that but its not there now loool and it doesnt say youve edited it either. strange.
