On a serious level 50/1 is massive, but I appreciate unlikely, however that effectively means top 3 is 10/1 (50/1 EW odds 1/5 for 1-2-3), and that is certainly worth the punt.
Bet365 offering 100/1 now with 20/1 to finish 2nd or 3rd. Bows said last night that we are definitely going on a massive winning streak so I'll have some of that. (Ok, he didn't actually say that but I believe we are capable of doing that so gotta be worth a punt when you consider we are only 8 points off top place albeit having played more). You gotta be in it to win it. Unlikely but still very possible.
I would totally agree with you, it’s all very tempting. But having filled my boots earlier, I’m loathe to go in again. We absolutely have a top six or top two squad. However, it’s like backing a Cheltenham Gold cup winner in a Novice chase at Fontwell, it cannot get beat. Then you find out the jockey has never ridden in a race in his life. Right now, Lee is that Jockey.
Finally had a reasonable Saturday. Though the postponed game cost me. Got close couple weeks ago and had a £400 cash out didn’t take it and ended up with Zip. So this time took the out on my 4 and 5 folds. As turned out should have let it run... cost myself £276.
Got Forest in my main "top half, x4 divisions, pre season accy". Had written it off until I noticed yesterday they have now dropped Taylor and turned their form around (link?)... Only 4 points from the top half. Every other team in my accys is currently top half so fingers crossed! Still need quite a big up tick in form but they have done ok last 3 games.

Forest signed Glen Murray he scored twice against Wycombe, Taylor doesn’t get near starting 11 now.
He checked after the game and sky had it down as a losing bet, so he checked the rules and here is their reasoning:
So he checked the rules on Opta:
To me, seems a bit harsh. If you watch the video of the goal... Son's pass is clearly intended for Lamela, and would've reached him without the deflection?
Well justice is done as it was obviously a valid assist. However, I am surprised that if Sky are going to apply the decision based on what Opta declare, their definition of an assist is not worded exactly the same as Opta’s definition.
Sky say....if deflected the initiator given as an assist if the receiving player was the likely intended destination.
Opta say.....if deflected the initiator given as an assist if the receiving player was likely to receive the ball without the deflection.
It’s a bit iffy, but I could see where one of these is true whilst the other is not. If a short pass from Player A to B was over hit and was heading for player C and a deflection occurs and either B or C score.
IN Sky words only B would get an assist as he was intended destination.
Whereas in Opta C was the player likely to receive the ball even though pass intended for B.
I've struggled lately too. Today I have Hull and Sunderland to win BTTS. Also have a novelty Welsh quadruple. Swansea, Cardiff, Newport and Wrexham to win. Doesn't help with your printing money bets sorry

The top six at 10/3 appears generous most firms are 2/1 and Sky only 7/4.
Ok, a bit long winded this one but wanted to see your thoughts..
mate of mine placed this bet yesterday:
The Lamela goal for spurs yesterday 'sealed' his bet, here is the goal:

Is there anything else he can do about this?
