StanSP Posted 18 May 2009 Posted 18 May 2009 What do we make of that?! Firstly, it's way too early to tell. I don't know why they have published these odds this early. There's still lots to be done during summer and alot of things can change. Secondly, there's still teams to be relegated from the Premier League, plus the play-offs in League One to be settled. It's not just to get promoted, it's to win it outright. Looks like they want to get the money in early. We're 18/1 favourites. Above us are West Brom (6/1), Ipswich (10/1), Reading (12/1). I think Middlesbrough and whoever gets relegated out of Newcastle and Hull shall be tipped to go straight back up. Peterborough 20/1 to win outright.
dandannieldanok Posted 18 May 2009 Posted 18 May 2009 Terrible value at 18/1, we're not going to win the league.
Maybes Posted 18 May 2009 Posted 18 May 2009 Terrible value at 18/1, we're not going to win the league. Agreed. 20/1 P'Boro
StanSP Posted 18 May 2009 Author Posted 18 May 2009 Oh and there's the loser of the Championship play-off to be in the running I presume.
Webbo Posted 18 May 2009 Posted 18 May 2009 Terrible value at 18/1, we're not going to win the league. I think that's pretty good actually.
ousefox Posted 18 May 2009 Posted 18 May 2009 Ha. What a load of bollocks Ipswich are only up there cos they have Keane as well.
purpleronnie Posted 18 May 2009 Posted 18 May 2009 I think that's pretty good actually. Bet it then, you'll be out of pocket.
Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 18 May 2009 Posted 18 May 2009 Ha. What a load of bollocks Ipswich are only up there cos they have Keane as well. And alot of cash.
Basingstoke Fox Posted 18 May 2009 Posted 18 May 2009 Whaaaaaaaaaat 4th favourites?????? Surely not! We don't even know who the fook will be in the league yet!
leicesterseddon Posted 18 May 2009 Posted 18 May 2009 when we got relegated in the 07/08 season we started as 6th favourites for promotion. doesn't mean anything
Webbo Posted 18 May 2009 Posted 18 May 2009 Bet it then, you'll be out of pocket. That's not the point, if we were 1000/1 and we didn't win the league I'd still be out of pocket. There are 24 teams that could win the championship next year, any neutral observer would put us in the top ten most likely to win it, 18/1 isn't a bad price. You won't get a much better price before the start of the season.
Koke Posted 18 May 2009 Posted 18 May 2009 Nah loads of bollocks, that. Championship is nothing like the Premiership where you can already predict top 6 and bottom 3 for next season,
Koke Posted 18 May 2009 Posted 18 May 2009 WBA 6/1 Ipswich 10/1 Reading 12/1 Leicester 18/1 Peterboro 20/1
Basingstoke Fox Posted 18 May 2009 Posted 18 May 2009 Nah loads of bollocks, that. Championship is nothing like the Premiership where you can already predict top 6 and bottom 3 for next season, Go on then
Koke Posted 18 May 2009 Posted 18 May 2009 Go on then The usual Sky 4 + Villa and Everton, like. Man City and Spurs will occupy 7th and 8th. That's top 8 sorted.
Basingstoke Fox Posted 18 May 2009 Posted 18 May 2009 The usual Sky 4 + Villa and Everton, like. Man City and Spurs will occupy 7th and 8th. That's top 8 sorted. And the relegation?
dandannieldanok Posted 18 May 2009 Posted 18 May 2009 20/1 P'Boro Peterborough are laughably short and won't be anywhere near the title, but London Road will not be a relished trip for many.
Joe. Posted 18 May 2009 Posted 18 May 2009 I expected something like 20/1 for us, so not far off. The bookies always seem to like us for some reason, it's not the first time they've tipped us to do well in this league.
Finnegan Posted 18 May 2009 Posted 18 May 2009 And the relegation? Stoke, Wolves and either the play-off winner or Hull if they survive.
Koke Posted 18 May 2009 Posted 18 May 2009 And the relegation? Wolves Sheff Utd/Burnley Hull [if they stay up] I won't be far off.
scinnell Posted 18 May 2009 Posted 18 May 2009 were not going to win the league plus hull will not bounce back if they come down they have no stand out players they only had a one season wonder last season.
CosbehFox Posted 18 May 2009 Posted 18 May 2009 What are Cov? Have already started telling them that next season we will be at least five places in front of them.
Koke Posted 18 May 2009 Posted 18 May 2009 What are Cov? Have already started telling them that next season we will be at least five places in front of them. I've been telling them for the past 4 weeks. I've already got 2 bets that we will finish above them. I have absolutely no doubt whatsoever that those shower of cunts will finish below us.
