In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
Why'd they call it the £50 million Prem Predictor then?
They can call it whatever they want, just a publicity stunt to pull in new customers by advertising an unwinnable wager. Max payout for majority the high street firms is £1m.
It's £50 million for this promotion. £2 million for football generally, but the caps vary a lot between sports and the types of bet.
When I win I'm going to spend it all on scratch cards
I guess nobody had Leicester as top then?
Bookies know.
Looking good so far.
I don't know why I didn't just club together with 2432902008176640000 mates and do one pick each, then share the winnings.
Probably because you'd be £4865804016303280000 down on the deal.
That's the silliest thing I've heard in a long time. It's not even close to the number of atoms in a litre of water.. Even less so the Milky Way (or even a milky way chocolate bar)
I think someone failed chemistry..
Someone needs to google avogadro's number
How many atoms are there in a serving of guacamole?
The chemical symbol for Krypton is Kr...
10^24, 10^25 if you're hungry.
Avacado's number!

Ehh, this is pretty decent from a fiver.
1000/1 Odds.

Oh dear
I would be surprised if anyone had Leicester in the top half never mind actually predicting the correct position for every team.
All in all this looks like a successful marketing trick. Hope they reveal the prediction of the £100k 'consolation' prize winner.

I had them bottom, shows what I know.
Just reinforces what a crazy feat it is that we're seeing. Leicester City, are one win away from winning the title. Everyone had them rock bottom going into the season. It's insane really.
Hard to disagree with that...
For what it's worth, I've had a few shockers in this thread myself.
Safe to say no one won this!
I had Chelsea top and Leicester bottom. Suppose nobody did.
Me too. The time I actually spent on that in hindsight seems laughable.
I remember some considerable time was spent on where would stoke finish, I went 7th eventually like it even remotely ever mattered where f**king Stoke finished. My prediction is just ultimate fail - think I had us 2nd and Villa, Newcastle and Sunderland all surviving relegation too
What a loser!
It's impossible, even with unlimited luck. There's a higher chance we get relegated and Sunderland win the league the same year
After this season does that even rank as 'unlikely' anymore? I'm fully expecting a Crystal Palace, Sunderland, Bournemouth, Watford top 4 next year.
The house won though, as always.
