Am I a bad person?

[StuffyClaret]

I hate to bet on Burnley winning games and do so very rarely. In fact I try and avoid any bets involving the Clarets.
However, today I was confident of a Swansea win and reluctantly included them in my weekly £2.50 treble for the result and both teams to score.

Am I a bad person for celebrating the fact that the 90th minute winner gave me £145?

[tjgh25]

Nope your just a smart person. Our away record speaks for itself.

Enjoy the £145... dont forget to buy a pint or two for your mates though!

[ElectroClaret]

Yes.

Flagellate yourself with birch twigs immediately. And send the money to me.....

[CleggHall]

You are a very naughty boy but put your detailed knowledge of Burnley to profitable ends. I guess we call this capitalism and market economics.

No.....enjoy spending your winnings

[Croydon Claret]

Sounds very shrewd to me. Eases the pain of an away defeat

[Noblelight]

I keep backing us to win 2-1 whoever we are playing and also to win

[FactualFrank]

I put a large bet on us not being promoted last season. Knowing the average IQ of people on here, I won't tell you what that was... but I was happy to lose!

Are you Joseph Barton Stuffy?

[StuffyClaret]

Are you Joseph Barton Stuffy?

No but Ive just won another £454 after Liverpool, Newcastle and Borussia Monchengladbach won and both teams scored on a fiver bet

It's preferable you win when not involving a defeat for the Clarets!

[RingoMcCartney]

"Am I a bad person?"

You're a burnley fan.

Therefore you are a good person.

[bobinho]

Not bad for placing the bet.


Very bad for celebrating. Really bad form that.

My most disgruntled Burnley goal celebration came at the Ethiad a few seasons ago when I'd backed City to beat us 3-2 and that idiot - I think it was Chris MacCaan - went and ruined everything with a late late equaliser....over 200 bloody quid Chris, thanks mate.

[ClaretMoffitt]

I stuck a fiver on 3-2 the second we went 2-1 up.

[ashtonlongsider]

No amount of money would allow me to celebrate a Clarets loss.

[gc14]

Yes ! Hope you choke on your blood money !!
I remember having a double Burnley and Liverpool to both win 2-1 i ran to the toilet in added on time came up Liverpool had beaten someone 2-1 we was 2-0 up v Sheffield United as i got back to my seat Sheff had been awarded a penalty ! I couldn't believe it when he skied it to the back seats of the Cricket Field Stand ffs

don't blame Chris...it was our substitute (the one that had a swift one at half time in the return match)

[Damo]

I couldn't bring myself to celebrate being on the wrong end of an injury time winning goal.
Certainly not for 145 quid anyway

[Mrpotatohead]

I stuck a fiver on another goal in the last five minutes as I always do if we're winning or drawing, that way if the opposition do score, at least I get roughly £30,in return.

[taio]

Nowt wrong with the bet...but celebrating the defeat means you are not a Burnley supporter. I'm guessing you wanted to hear that given your need to create a thread about it.

[LeadBelly]

BLOOD MONEY.
You should give half to charity as penance (and your soul will still not be pure).

[StuffyClaret]

Just in case anybody is interested. I am trying to make it a treble of victories. I have Spurs, Athletico Madrid, Ajax and Feyenoord to return about £480 on a fiver (Result and BTTS).

[Bin Ont Turf]

With that amount you'll have a choice of where you want to sit at Ewood all next season.

[morpheus2]

Yes I think you are correct, it was that scottish lad wasn't it.

[Woodleyclaret]

I won £100 on a 3-1 home win. in injury time we hit the bar at 3-1.I was the only Burnley fan celebrating

[Paul Waine]

So, you are a Burnley fan and, of course, want Burnley to win. But, you place a bet on the opposite result. It's called a hedge: happy with win, bet pays out if Burnley don't win.

I wonder with the melt down we see on this board after a defeat whether people have been doubling up: want Burnley to win and bet on Burnley winning - they've lost twice. Or, are the one's who say "no worries" the same ones that have bet against Burnley winning?

[Gnulty]

It's fans like you who contributes to the bad results we have away from home...The lack of belief from a large group of people, will sooner or later reach the players on the field, also making them loos confidence and belief..Betting against your own team don't make you a bad person, just a person making a bad choice...
