Ben4BCFC Posted September 27, 2017 Report Share Posted September 27, 2017 Hate to put a downer on the current highs, but is it just me that thinks with our recent Portman Road record and their current form, 21/10 for Ipswich to win this weekend is pretty high? Anyway, back under my rock. Hoping this'll jinx me into being totally wrong and us leaving with something from the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cityexile Posted September 27, 2017 Report Share Posted September 27, 2017 That seems just plain odd. They are above us and at home. Would not have expected them to be longer than evens really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AppyDAZE Posted September 27, 2017 Report Share Posted September 27, 2017 We're due something up (or over) there. 0-0 at worst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garland-sweden Posted September 28, 2017 Report Share Posted September 28, 2017 In the Swedish Booking.firm Ipswich is favourites. Think they should be. But my way of thinking is draw or win for City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter O Hanraha-hanrahan Posted September 28, 2017 Report Share Posted September 28, 2017 I was surprised to see us favourites against Ipswich considering they're above us and at home. I noticed on Monday that they were 66/1 to go up as Champions, we were only 33/1. Before last night we were 50/1 for relegation and (iirc) Ipswich were 16/1. Edit: Ipswich are 14/1. Winning margin of 4 goals or more on Saturday is 16/1 for City but 50/1 for Ipswich. I'm very tempted to put a tenner on that for insurance purposes.

TV Tom Posted September 28, 2017 Report Share Posted September 28, 2017 This must be plain wrong, Ipswich are a massive price and will surely draw big attention from neutral punters, that price will come down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gimme Shelton Posted September 28, 2017 Report Share Posted September 28, 2017 It is a strange one, perhaps the bookies know something we don't. To be a successful punter you should be filling yer boots with a price like this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben4BCFC Posted September 28, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2017 Maybe with all the media frenzy with our goal gifs, the neutrals are backing us and the bookies are scared that our current social media fame may come back to bite them.

AppyDAZE Posted September 28, 2017 Report Share Posted September 28, 2017 So much for going under the radar this season. The bstrds have sussed out how great we are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldlandReddies Posted September 28, 2017 Report Share Posted September 28, 2017 Very odd. They're 5 wins out of last 6 at home and just come off hammering Sunderland. If i wasnt a City fan i'd back them ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garland-sweden Posted September 28, 2017 Report Share Posted September 28, 2017 Yes its a little bit odd. But honestly I think we are a better team than Ipswich. On that odds I will not bet on City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RaspberryRed Posted September 28, 2017 Report Share Posted September 28, 2017 Gambling is ALL about ''Value'' and in those terms alone the price is crazy and available at similar prices across a large number of firms. Prior to prices being available I made it H 11/8 D 5/2 A 15/8! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid in the Riot Posted September 28, 2017 Report Share Posted September 28, 2017 That truly is unfathomable odds. It's not like Ipswich are poor at home or we have some amazing away record either. They should 100% be favourites to win this game...very strange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesBCFC Posted September 28, 2017 Report Share Posted September 28, 2017 The odds aren't that bizarre. Many betting companies are looking at shot data now, something that represents Ipswich poorly as they are making very few chances. They have had as good a start as they have by being extremely clinical (at one point it was 7 goals from 8 shots). This clinicalness will not last and Ipswich will drop, a lot. On the other hand we are creating a large number of chances and in terms of being clinical we are essentially average for the division. Ipswich have lost 2 of the last 5, we are unbeaten in 10. Those things are far more relevant than the year we last won there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben4BCFC Posted September 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2017 Happy to be wrong on this one. I'll keep tipping the opposition team's odds as being well worth a punt for value and hopefully we'll keep winning. At this rate, Burton could be 100/1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
