Risk hedging?

[Bungey]

Why don't BFC hedge out the risk of potential relegation by putting a large bet on us to go down?

These days even small companies hedge out risks they can't control. In fact, you could argue that hedging is even more vital for small businesses that can't afford to soak up the losses accruing from circumstances outside of their direct control!

Nice plan, but a club betting on it's own performance

Just stick to putting £20 on yourself to drown your sorrows if it does happen

Ideally individual players would also be able to supplement their wages by betting against us, thus lowering our wage bill. :yes:

Or letting a big hitter put a 5 million pound bet on us to go down and splitting the profits 50/50 Sadly this would be illegal

:beer: Or,
Get the club to bet on us winning the League.
£100,000 at 20/1 is £2M.
So we buy back Sodje, Turner and DJ and pay for them out of the winnings.

Don't panic everybody!
I'm the worlds worst gambler so I'll put
£10 on us to get relegated therefore guaranteeing safety!!

Some clown in MK has put £25k at 8-1 on the Dongs winning League 2
