“It would have to be brutally heavy,” he said, before Samcro’s owners would even begin to consider running him in the Supreme. Some punters have been tempted, while knowing perfectly well that Samcro was unlikely to run in the Supreme. Oddly, Samcro’s odds in Betfair’s exchange market (‘all in, run or not’) for the Supreme have been shortening, to the point where he has been layed this morning at around 8-1. Postings on Twitter suggest that, after Bet365 slashed Samcro’s Supreme odds, those who’d backed him at 14s were offered the chance to cash out for a profit, equivalent to a winning bet at just over 2-1. I can only imagine that Bet365 are looking at a serious liability if Samcro did happen to turn up in the Supreme and win.
