Someone at work today mentioned to me the odds on Watford going through to the Championship play-off final were somewhat favorable. I checked out Betfair and had to agree - although Watford are in stinking form a first half goal would surely move the odds of 12.5 and allow a nice little trade. So I entered with half the intended stake – I was then going to watch the first couple of minutes and maybe use the rest of the stake if I felt things looked good.

I did want to use the rest of the stake but when I went to submit it…..Betfair crashed!!!

It’s still down as I type this and as you can guess, Watford have scored and taken the lead. I could have traded out but now I’m left with an outright bet.

Your probably thinking – ‘but you may win that bet?’ - but I can almost guarantee you the way things are going lately Watford will not go on to score another and will most probably loose. Also, if I do win the bet it will be for half of the stake I originally intended. I feel like I can’t win either way.

To Betfair: SORT IT OUT.
