"unrealistic" bet

edited March 2010 in The Shed
my friend who doesnt really bet asked my other friend to put a goals goals goals coupon on for her at the bookies and to also put a bet on the man u game. My friend put on her coupon but didnt put the other bet on because he thought it was "too unrealistic". It was for manu to win 2-1, Torres to score first, Rooney to score second and Park to get the winner. Anyone know how i could find out what the odds would have been?

    they normally only do 1st/last scorer combined with the correct score for a double, i suppose you would have to ask for the odds compiler at the firm to give you odds for this,if it was me, i would offer about 750/1. Remember also that this type of bet offers poor value for money against the odds of it happening, i will explain :-

    Say torres is 4/1 to be 1st scorer, £1 bet will get you £5 return
    Say 2-1 score to MUFC is 6-1, £1 bet would get you £7 rteturn
    You would expect the bookies to offer you 34/1 on the double, but you will never get that, it would be more like 25/1.
    Result - you leave happy with 'good' odds of 25/1, when in fact they are happy having saved 9 points !
