Glastonbury Headliner Bets on Paddy Power

[Drinky]

Did any of you bet on Springsteen to headline with Paddy Power? I put almost £20 on when the rumours first appeared, and they've just settled the bet - but only given me £8 back i! Has this happened to anyone else?

One email later and I'm £120 richer! Spending money taken care of

Did no-one else have a punt on this?

Nope, the pessimist refused to believe it.

But i did have a punt on his half time shows at the superbowl, easiest bet ever won a fair few quid on that.

I was going to, think it was 4/1 for Springsteen when I looked. Next day when I decided to have a punt the odds had shortened dramatically so didn't bother

Drinky, if you based that bet on things you learned from this site, you might want to visit the on-line shop here and make a few purchases

i did a post here ages ago stating why springsteen was 8-1 and that must mean he would have a chance....so anyone who put a punt on him then you are welcome lol

put a tennar on him got 80 quid back happy enough for tht lol

if you put a tenner on him at 8/1, you should have had 90 quid returns.........

I've always wondered with this kind of betting...

Is this a way of stopping the bookers from placing bets on the acts they've booked? If there wasn't then they could make so much money from it!

generally on bets like this, which would be classed as novalty bets, there is a stake limit. this is comin from a bookie by the way

Also I'm sure it's illegal to bet on something you have a part in. Just ask Bruce Grobbelaar!
