I have Berbatov top goal scorer bet - what do I do?! Need advice!

Just to change the topic a bit

I have Berbatov at 30's to be PL top scorer this season. I have a tenner on him with Betfair with only Tevez anywhere near him! For those of you that don't know what Betfair is - you can actually trade your bet off if it's doing well so I have two options:

Either let it ride and hope the £300 comes in

Trade it off for about £120 PROFIT no matter who wins

What do you think I should do? I'm inclined to leave it but I get greedy and lose a lot of bets this way!

Cash it in.

It's only a matter of time before Saha beats it.

Oh. And use PaddyPower in future (y)

TheFinnFan · January 23, 2011

i would see it all the way. berba will propably win it...

BlueTak · January 23, 2011

I can't see anyone beating Berbatov, he's been brilliant this season.

paulpaulrideout · January 23, 2011

haha I have a PP account mate - got one with all the big guys but didn't have that great odds sorry!

RFUS · January 23, 2011

I'd cash in, but then I'm a coward.

You never know with Berba. He's on fire so far, but he can go cold at any time.

paulpaulrideout · January 23, 2011

Hmm good point...I think I'll ponder it for a couple more days...!

The funny thing with berbatov is he has probably only scored in about 6/7 games the total league goals he has,its just that he seems to get 2/3s mostly

That's a good point. He's had 3 hattricks already this season.

Could also see Tevez drying up now that Manchini is looking to change the system and get Dzeko involved, I'd gamble and go the whole way!

Id well keep it, Utd hitting form, tidy fixtures, always at their srongest the turn of the year.

I can see him finishing top to be honest on form at least, Rooney is the key, if Rooney got injured i cash in - look how many goals he has scored when Rooney hasnt been out - Feck all is the answer, Rooney plays as the foil.

Cash it, he could break his leg next week.

Also, don;t be greedy lid, take the doh

Utd. usually finish seasons strong under Fergie so you're in with a decent chance, having said that i'd probably take the £120 profit myself.

njligernj · January 24, 2011

Interesting spot. Barring injury it's only really Tevez you can see catching him so it's a two horse race.

So you are now essentially betting the 120 to win 300 that Berbatov, with a three goal headstart, can beat Tevez. I'd definitely take 2.5/1 in that spot (I doubt any bookie would lay you odds that big right now) so I'd say let it ride -- if you want to sell though I'll buy it off you.

I'd cash in to be honest, but then again - i'm probably too safe.
