You have wealth of £10. You can place a minimum of one bet and a maximum of three bets on any of the following seven bets but you must stake all (but no more than) of your wealth. The amount staked on any one bet must be a whole number of pounds (I know, I know "must be an integer"). The winner is the player who accumulates the most winnings (or, if the bookmaker laughs all the way to the bank, who gets closest to the tiebreaker).
(a) Oxford to win and both teams score: 4/1
(b) Neither team scores: 9/1
(c) Millwall come from behind to win: 9/1
(d) First Oxford goal scored 0-15 minutes inclusive: 5/1
(e) Exactly three goals scored in the first half: 10/1
(f) Oxford win 3-0: 28/1
(g) Oxford win both halves: 8/1
Tiebreak: time of first goal, no repeats, in the event of a tie, earlier time wins. "No goal" is a legitimate answer.

Re: The Lions Ate My Trainers, Miss
Well, the only bet that scored was (c): and it is with zero pleasure that I have to note I'm the only one that placed anything on that. So, unfortunately, I guess that I get to keep the poisoned chalice that is the boot ...
For those wondering why you don't often see poor bookmakers, we'd have donated a net £30 on a turnover of £80 to William Hill if we'd actually done this.
