davieG Posted 23 May 2006 Share Posted 23 May 2006 From OS Foxes 16/1 To Lift Championship Crown Leicester City are priced at 16/1 with FoxesBetting to lift the 2006-07 Championship title. City finished the 2005-06 campaign as one of the form sides in the division - picking up 28 points from their final 16 games of the season under the stewardship of Rob Kelly. Birmingham City (4/1), West Bromwich Albion (6/1) and Sunderland (8/1) lead the market having been relegated from the Premiership. Play-off final losers Leeds United (8/1) come next in the market, with Crystal Palace (9/1) and Wolverhampton Wanderers (10/1) close behind. Leicester are joined by Preston North End, who were knocked out of the play-offs at the semi final stage, and Coventry City at 16/1. QPR and newly promoted Colchester and Southend are favourites to be relegated come the end of the season. City fans can now place their wagers on next season at FoxesBetting, the club's very own online bookmaker.

Stevosevic Posted 23 May 2006 Share Posted 23 May 2006 Norwich 12-1 to win! *rofl* why are you so surprised? i doubt very much they will be up there next season. they are a very unhappy bunch at the moment, Worthy out are the calls, they came back from 2-0 down to beat QPR 3-2 and the fans still booed, they even booed when they scored the 3rd. Nothing to fear IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Flair Posted 23 May 2006 Share Posted 23 May 2006 My early prediction so far without all the transfers would be: Southampton to win the league and West Brom to come second. The play-offs is a lottery but I think Coventry will be in there unfortunately and Southend are my surprise bet of the season with Eastwood being the top scorer in the league along with Earnshaw.

Nothing to fear IMO. I'm surprised because they are lousy short odds. Particularly when you see Preston at 16-1 - that must be a reaction to the rumours of Davies leaving - 10-1 seems more realistic for them. 25-1 would seem better value for Naaarch. Even the most diehard Naaarch fan wouldn't be tempted, surely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the most diehard Naaarch fan wouldn't be tempted, surely? We should be at 25's or 33's. 16-1 is piss poor value for a team that nearly went down last season only for a revival from Kelly. Do they think Kelly is the real deal now then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Fynwy Posted 23 May 2006 Share Posted 23 May 2006 If you want to bet on City place it at a Nottingham or Derby Bookies, they'll give you much longer odds on City going up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Flair Posted 23 May 2006 Share Posted 23 May 2006 I think its more to do with our front pairing, they got rave reviews in most games. Yes but it's still not good value for money. What happens if one of them or both of them get injured? Then you are looking at relegation fodder. Plus in the games they played together, never did they both score in a match and never did one of them score more than one goal in a match. Don't get me wrong they are both brilliant, but I am very surprised we have been given such short odds when we've been disgustingly poor for 2 seasons now.

I do agree with you, however i was attempting too look at it from an outside point of view, i think we should expect big things from both Hume and Fryatt. Any team that has strikers that will score goals will get short odds, but then you look at Preston who have been consistently good for four years and its a bit of a joke.

syston_fox Posted 23 May 2006 Share Posted 23 May 2006 Im suprised to see Birmingham have such short odds. When the players start leaving I see them as having the traditional "Transition season". Southampton at 12-1 looks a good price though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BartonFox Posted 23 May 2006 Share Posted 23 May 2006 16/1??? We should be about 100/1. We have an untested manager, been god awful for the best part of 2 years, our crowds are dwindling and we have no money. I know the bookies get it right most of the time, but I can't see what they are looking at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the bookies get it right most of the time, but I can't see what they are looking at. They nearly got stung on us in 04/05 when they offered us at 125/1 to go down and nearly did. They were looking at a 6 figure loss had that happened according to FoxFanzine. They are probably trying to put us at odds that aren't good value for the punter and therefore won't have any worries as we are too unpredictable.

Milky Posted 23 May 2006 Share Posted 23 May 2006 i think they've paid quite alot of attention to the end of season form. QPR had a shocking end to the season, and of course we were racking up points in a promotion styley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dandannieldanok Posted 23 May 2006 Share Posted 23 May 2006 i agree with the bookies that QPR will be nowhere and struggle. supposedly they are losing their best players like shittu and cook in the summer and they are overrated anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted 23 May 2006 Share Posted 23 May 2006 Ladbrokes Birmingham - 4/1 West Brom - 11/2 Leeds - 7/1 Crystal Palace - 8/1 Sunderland - 9/1 Norwich - 12/1 Preston - 12/1 Southampton - 12/1 Wolves - 12/1 Coventry - 20/1 Leicester - 20/1 Cardiff - 25/1 Derby - 33/1 Hull - 40/1 Ipswich - 40/1 Luton - 40/1 Plymouth - 50/1 Sheffield Wednesday - 50/1 Stoke - 50/1 Burnley - 66/1 QPR - 66/1 Southend - 80/1 Colchester - 100/1 Thats more like it! 16/1 = Shite... 20/1 = Abit better, i'd still expect more for my money though.
