Question ref. Allardyce "Rumour"
Story says someone "tried" to put a £100,000 bet on him becoming our next manager.
How can you "try" to place a bet? Either you do or you don't. No bookie is going to say, "...that's not going to happen" and refuse to take the punters money out of the goodness of their heart-its pretty much free cash for whoever he tried to place it with.
Yet, despite the fact he or she only "tried" to place the bet, the bookies still slashed the odds on it happening to 11/10. So has, infact, the bet really been placed after all?
They don't cut odds on the basis of a non-bet do they?
