Calculus Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Just been looking at a few betting sites for Saturday and see that you can get West Brom to win at only 6/4 on. This looks like free money to me but just don't like the idea on betting against City. Am I being over pessimistic about City's chances and is betting on the baggies acceptable?

Mike Hunt-Hertz Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 They'll have us up the shitter, big style. Though I hope they have the droop and prove me wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonBristolian Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 I'd find it hard to bet against City but I'd not discourage other fans from doing so. At least that way, if we do lose, there's a silver lining! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cider_boy Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Think of it as insurance. Don't bet so much you end up wanting City to lose, that way when City win, you won't care if you lost a small amount of cash. If City do lose, you have a little extra to drown your sorrows! That said, this works better with other sports including rugby, unless you cover off the draw in your bet, otherwise that's a really frustrating result (although at the moment an away draw might feel like a win) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phileas Fogg Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 There was good odds on West Brom winning by 3 goals, can't remember which bookmaker. Looked a good bet - can see another 4-1 up there like our last couple of trips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After the Charlton game, half-way through the season and City in the bottom three, amazingly you could get 4/1 on relegation in what almost looks like a 3 from 5 situation. Makes a change to have a bet you hope will lose. Still 9/4 yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Grovesy Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Had a bet on there being 4~5 goals in the game (3/1). Lets hope City win 4-1 :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin Phantom Posted January 7, 2016 Admin Share Posted January 7, 2016 As we have a history of conceding 4 in a game up there, and we have shipped 4 in a game many times this season already 4-0 anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest baggie192 Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 If it's any consolation I don't think Berahino will play. I think the team will be 4-4-1-1 Foster or Lindegaard, Evans,Dawson McAully or Olsson, Brunt Sessegnon, Fletcher, Yacob, McClean. Then Anichebe or Lambert and Rondon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobodies in for Lambert They are for Berahino and Anichebe (maybe in his case) mate. We won't risk Myhill. If Pulis is serious about a strong side then thats it. I can't see McManaman ahead of Sess. Morrison instead of Fletcher to go more attacking? Maybe, but he's been a sub. Perhaps Nabi as a sub as well, he wants first team. I can't see a weaker team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't see us doing a Gateshead...........hopefully. The Vine's awesome. I don't think it'll be a Gateshead but we'll give you a run as I said to Josh here's our squad and I picked the Team that I think is most likely: 1 Ben Foster 3 Jonas Olsson 4 James Chester 5 Claudio Yacob 6 Jonny Evans 7 James Morrison 8 Craig Gardner 10 Victor Anichebe 11 Chris Brunt 13 Boaz Myhill 14 James McClean 15 Sebastien Pocognoli 16 Cristian Gamboa 17 Rickie Lambert 18 Saido Berahino 19 Callum McManaman 21 Anders Lindegaard 23 Gareth McAuley 24 Darren Fletcher 25 Craig Dawson 29 Stephane Sessegnon 33 Salomon Rondon I wouldn't mind to see what City fans will think their team will be?

Bench will be O'Leary, Agard, Wagstaff, Freeman, Burns, Garita, El Abd Won't be El Abd, he is cup-tied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest cider city red 81 Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Suprised a lot of you think we will lose. I'm convinced we will smash them 3 or 4 . There are always one or two 'upsets' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
