One of the best online bookmakers around for firing up quirky markets is Ladbrokes. They will listen to their customers and are more than willing to price up unique markets on request. So let’s imagine for a moment that you have a big premonition about something that is way off in the future. It’s not likely that you are going to be able to find a price for it in a sportsbook, but you can head over to Ladbrokes and ask.
For example, the Ladbrokes traders have offered up a quote of 7/1 on Troy Deeney to gain a full international cap for England before 01/05/2016 and that was on request. Basically if you don’t ask you don’t get and what is there to lose?
Ladbrokes do have a new unique request system up which punters can take advantage of. Just go to their Requested Specials page and you will see other markets that punters have asked for, such as a world title for Anthony Joshua before the end of 2016 (2/1), Jordan Henderson to be the next permanent England captain (5/2) and Jordan Spieth to win all four majors in 2015 (250/1).
The end of the season is generally when punters start thinking ahead long term and perhaps weighing up some alternative bets. Maybe Bournemouth will muscle their way in the Europa League. Maybe Harry Kane will knock 40 goals in next season. Maybe even something as obscure as Steven Gerrard kissing the camera on his LA Galaxy debut.
Maybe you’re convinced that Radamel Falcao will remain at Old Trafford and top the Premier League scoring charts next year, or that Harry Redknapp will make a return to West Ham? Whatever it is, enjoy the Ladbrokes new request system and just see what you can get a bet down on.
