She didn't accept any offers to cash out.

Prior to Manchester City's first goal, she had been offered just over £62,000 but rejected it.

Given the bet was struck at the beginning of the season, NJ, i'd say all 4 were potential stumbling blocks. The big clubs usually field 'weakened' sides in the two domestic cups - a blend of youth, fringe players and first-teamers - and they often have to rely on the luck of the draw.
The PL was always going to be fought out between Liverpool and City - and most likely will be again next season - so that was a 50/50 shot.

Ta for that, Togo, i hadn't seen it until just now. Hope she cashed out at half time. Would be a pity if she didn't take something from the bookies.

And while i was typing, TCL gives us the final update. She is obviously more of a fan than a gambler to have refused the 90 odd grand cash out offer. Imagine spurning the chance to take so much off the 'enemy'! Hope her parents have disowned her:-J

More money than sense, if you ask me ...

I'll cut her some slack. It was her first ever bet so she hasn't the experience to realise that the bookies are her mortal enemies.

Yes I quite agree, Ken. I was talking about the position the punter was in last week when I heard about the bet. There were only two competitions remaining then and Liverpool were clearly second favourites for the league.

//More money than sense, if you ask me ...//

If gambling was my pleasure (which it certainly isn't) I think this sort of bet would be more entertaining (and better value) than £100 on a three to one on favourite in the 2:45 at Uttoxeter on a cold afternoon in November.

New Judge, a couple of quotes from Corby's link ...

> She even had the option of a partial cash-out offer, which would have seen her bank a cool £25k and a further £100k if Liverpool won the Premier League and Champions League. Again, she refused.

> At 5:34pm, with 20 minutes left to play and Man City 2-0 down at home to Aston Villa, Tanya rejected her biggest cash-out offer yet: a staggering £95,000.

More money than sense.

Apologies, I quoted a figure of £62,000 but that was what had been offered at half-time.

I seen the £95,000 offer but forgot all about it when I made my post.
