I like to have a gamble but I don't really understand much about it. I think the main part I would like someone in the know to explain is how people were getting paid out on top half when they bet on us being in the play offs. How does that work out?
OLBG is a very good guide and Oddschecker is a good comparison site.
Briefly the different markets are
Winners / Champions / 1st place call it what you like
Winners EACH WAY half the stake is bet on first place the other half on a top 3 position at a quarter or a third of the odds.
Promotion i.e. Top two promotion automatically or a play off promotion.
Play Off place finishing 3rd to sixth not usually available until part way into the season.
Top half of table, or bottom half of table or relegation all self explanatory.
In answer to your question, people put on different types of bets. :thumbs: I did the "Top Half" and came up quids in, some did get to the "Play Offs" and lost, unless they "cashed in" early. (A different scenario again)
On Line Betting Guide OLBG is a great source of info.
