I once won just under £500 by backing Wimbledon to beat us 1-0 at Selhurst park to send us down.
It wasn't a bookie bet, it was a season long competition where you had to predict the result of 15 games, they had weekly prizes plus a season long prize for 1st 2nd and 3rd. It was 1 point for a correct result and 3 for a correct score. I was in the running going into the final week, so put 1-0 Wimbledon thinking if that one's wrong I will be happy anyway. That was the only correct score I got that week and it was enough to get me 2nd place overall and win the cash.
I would rather have lost. I was living in London at the time and was at the game and never gave it a second thought till about the Tuesday when I was informed I had won. It paid for my season ticket the following year.
