But its much more exciting to let it run.

I had £10 each way on porto in the champions league at 50/1.

Once they reached the final i was guaranteed £260. I could have backed monaco with some of this and gauranteed a £500 return but i stuck it out and picked up £770.

Go big. Back the blues at 33/1 and stick with it.

ShrimpersBet are offering 25/1 for Southend to win the league still and 11/2 to be promoted.

BTW guys if you do bet online then why not use ShrimpersBet if you don't already. Every bet you place helps out the club and if enough people use it then there is good money to be made by SUFC for no extra charge to you.

I've used it loads over the Euro Champs and I reckon I'm about 500 quid up on the bets I laid down. (and yes I was using it before I worked at SUFC)

Anyway if anyone is interested pop over to http://www.shrimpersbet.co.uk

Southends odds of 33/1 are seen by those in the industry as one of the best outside bets of the season. This is based on Tilson form. Got to be worth £20. If Greece can do it at 100/1 I for one am confident it will be our year.

Exactly. Next time I see one of our football traders I might ask them why they rate our chances.

You in the industry yourself then colchestershrimper?
