The table shows we're similarly strong to Brentford with a similar chance of winning the league. The odds are just wrong. There's no way that Brentford are 20 times more likely to win the league. A bet on City to win... This is one of those rare occasions when you'll get value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scoring goals for fun, great goal difference which is worth a point, not that long ago they swept us away at the Gate etc. This could be their year. 1 hour ago, cidercity1987 said: A load of hot air about Brentford, flat track bullies spank us with 10 men, smash a poor Hull and yet only gathered the same points as us and lost 2 more games Brentford has scored only 5 more than us over 30 games this season. Bearing in mind they scored 16 of those in 3 games( 7 agains Luton, 5 against Hull and 4 agains 10 man City) and notwithstanding the quality of the their football, the reality is that it is their defence that is the real reason they are where they are in the table as they have conceded almost half the number of goals we have. For all the talk all season of our need for a goalscoring striker, our undoing has been at the other end of the table. Goalscoring wise we are only 1 and 2 goals worse than Fulham and Leeds, neither of whom anyone would describe as goal shy, but the old saying is that strikers win games but defences win championships. It might just be that the most important aspect of January's window is not that we signed a proven goalscorer but that we re-discovered our defensive mojo.

Aslanovic Posted February 4, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2020 Just seen that some bookies are offering shorter odds on Man City to win the Premier League than us to win the Championship.

reddogkev Posted February 4, 2020 Report Share Posted February 4, 2020 What's the best bet for City to finish outside of the top two or even the top six? I like to bet on the opposite preferred result when it comes to City, as I have the worst luck ever and usually guarantee City the right result. That's the bet I'd be interested in.

Ziderarmy Posted February 4, 2020 Report Share Posted February 4, 2020 You could lay the top 6 finish on betfair. Mind you were about 5/2 to finish in the top 6 so would need to place £50 to win £20 is backing against a top six finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldlandReddies Posted February 4, 2020 Report Share Posted February 4, 2020 150/1 Bristol City compared to Brentford who are as low as 11/2 is utterly ridiculous. Everyone should jump on that price. Odds compilers have got it completely wrong. Let's **** them up. Should we win Friday, we will go third and just 3 points off the top and that 150/1 will become 25/1 at best. I'm on. Been to the last 2 away games and seen a different side of this current group. They now believe. What with the quality new signings we can now compete with the best in this League. Bring it on.

A fast change for disaster to looking up is a fair assment. But I'd agree those odds are somewhat disrespectful of our form and leauge position. Worth a punt, but can we not jump straight back to STM if you doesn't come off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
