From the Glasgow Herald.
A Dumbarton fan marched in to William Hill on Monday to pick up his winnings for Dumbarton becoming the third division champs. However, the manager said that although Dumbarton were three points clear, and with an 18-goal advantage, with only one game to go, there was an arithmetical possibility they could be pipped.
In other words, if Dumbarton say, lost their last game by nine goals and second placed East Stirling won their game by nine goals.
The bemused fan replied that if they weren't paying out, then they must still be taking bets, and asked to bet a further £2000 on Dumbarton winning the league.
At that, the manager saw sense, and paid up.
