Fairly sure bet365 offer BOG on multiples @Smark. As far as I knew they were the only ones. Maybe PP introduced it recently?
A double on two centre-halves scoring first? That fella will have it lost again before the league is over
Heâs welcome in the degenerate thread though

A scenario to unite the board. Some lad in Scotland had ÂŁ100 on Rangers to be relegated in February 2012 at odds of 2500/1 with Coral. They refuse to pay as they say the club wasnât relegated but itâs currently before a judge.
Lots of legal argument and stuff coming out about whether they were relegated or not. A guy called @jamesdoleman (sounds like @sidney) is live tweeting from it. Some entertaining reading.
Canât see him winning it. Rangers were " expelled " from the Scottish premiership after the went into administration. They formed a new company after that and the Scottish FA had no option but to put them into division 3
Howâd it even get to court? Bets arenât legally binding I thought? At the bookmakers discretion?
I was following it earlier. Reckon the bloke has very slim chance of getting paid out but would love to be wrong. Some of the questions from the defence were pathetic. Basically putting across that heâs not a total mug at betting and trying to imply he is âsharpâ. It should be irrelevant as regards the argument surrounding his bet and if Rangers were ârelegatedâ or âdemotedâ.
Rangers were neither relegated nor demoted. They were expelled from the premier league. For all intensive purposes they formed a new club and subsequently started off again in division three. Heâs a dead duck
For all intents and purposes

The feeling is neutral
What is relegation? Is it not being in the top division the following year?
Long shot but definitely worth a punt (waheeey) if you met a judge who liked a flutter he might side with you

They were expelled though. They werenât relegated.
I reckon the bookies has so many technicalities to fall back on, the punter just canât win.
Vaughan Williams sounds like a right nutjob. Entertaining reading.

It should be a very straightforward case for Coral and theyâre fucking it up. Theyâll still win youâd imagine but the line of arguments is bizarre.
I see in a lot of the responses to the tweets people are saying Coral are avoiding the obvious and saying that Rangers were liquidated as the Rangers fans would go mad and boycott the shops. Why would this be such a none of contention
Itâs part of Rangers fans claiming the same club status to preserve history and records and that sort of thing. Theyâd prefer to think they were relegated rather than liquidated and starting again.

Any odds of who is going to win the case?
And the phrasing is so curious sometimes and the obvious liquidation defence that hasnât been mentioned means that PR agenda seems the only likely explanation, or else itâs unbelievable incompetence on the part of their legal team.
But their social media division donât seem to have the same script.
Why were they allowed start again in Division 3. Should they not have gone below it to non league.
Ordinary definition of relegated means transfer a team to a lower divisionâŚwhich is what happened
