This is the main reason I wouldn't do it, I still wouldn't get a loan anyway.

That match will be removed from the bet and the bet will be settled at as a 14 fold. There might be a 24hour rematch rule but I can't see that happening.

Lol I know what in doing guys 
The worse outcome is I win £600, the best is £1600. All I need is BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE.
Will be tense watching tomorrow , but either way £1 has turned into at least £600

Why? It's a yes or no bet, I can't lose.

Btw, you picked 20 teams, not 15... 15 at betfred would of been 1500/1, they're far better odds on there than any of the other sites. but limited to 15 teams.

Im been in a similar situation with a cricket bet ....
The only question for me is...are you well off enough that £800 is not that big a deal to you?
If so - its a decent enough gamble to take. If £800 would be handy to you for Christmas then you have to take it and enjoy the 800-1 pay out you made from good choices
If you want a footballing opinion.... You are gambling £800 on both of the two most defensively minded teams in the league scoring in 90 minutes.
Charlie Adam is also doubtful - if he isnt playing I really dont see Stoke scoring away from home. He is pretty crucial for them in terms of set pieces and goals from midfeld
I would fancy West Ham to score ... but Stoke have a damn good record of keeping clean sheet against newly promoted clubs

Daft, loan is 500 capital plus 50 interest, pay back 550, bet will win >550 in either case.
You're up, how can you not want to do that. I'm basing it on nothing going wrong, which is what a good lay is. If that's a good lay, you wouldn't not get the loan assuming you weren't daft.

Just the way I deal with money, whether right or wrong.
I wouldn't be taking out a loan to make a bet.
Outside of that, the doubt in this thread about what bet is correct would scare me off.

Betfred is the best on the Goals Galore Bonus (fewer teams/better odds) list but i havent looked around at the standard lists

If the match is cancelled, if a streaker runs on, if the stadium falls down, if God sets fire to the pitch.....

They will refund my £650 bet and pay out accordingly if west ham v stoke wasn't on there , which will be £1600+

Bet void if the match is abandoned/cancelled. Money back.
Orig bet gets reduced by one team, so he'll get the winnings for that, just a bit less as it will be one less team.
Steaker wont abandon a match

I would probably have done what you have done - because you have the chance of a big win and a definite £600 back .... However, I think you are more likely to end up £200 down on what you could cash out today
Good luck though ..I would get the next morning off work and get pissed for that game

OMFG this thread has made this look like hard work
It is impossible to lose, well done K2, great bet and you've made the right choice, just a shame you don't have a little more, but you are only risking 200 to win a further thousand which is very good value on what is priced at around 50/50
