wookey Posted June 15, 2007 Report Share Posted June 15, 2007 The Bookies (in this case SkyBet) always seem to have a good idea of the likely Championship finish.We are 15th at 25/1; as I said in another thread we will finish about halfway up the Table and this seems to confirm it.Note we are higher than QPR.1. Charlton 7/1 2. WBA 7/1 3. Sheff Utd 8/14. Wolves 8/1 5. Watford 9/1 6. Southampton 9/1 7. Leicester 14/1 8. Stoke 16/1 9. Coventry 16/110. Cardiff 20/111. C Palace 20/112. Ipswich 20/1 13. Preston 20/1 14. Sheff Weds 20/1 15. Bristol City 25/1 16. Norwich 25/1 17. Hull 40/1 18. Burnley 40/1 19. Colchester 40/1 20. S****horpe 50/1 21. Plymouth 50/1 22. QPR 50/1 23. Barnsley 50/1 24.

Guest Eamer Posted June 15, 2007 Report Share Posted June 15, 2007 I'd be happy with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redhyde Posted June 15, 2007 Report Share Posted June 15, 2007 Placing us at 15th/16th at this stage is crazy.We've got an equal chance as Norwich? Rollox do we! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bh_red Posted June 15, 2007 Report Share Posted June 15, 2007 would take 15th like a shot, though agree that finishing above Norwich seems very very unlikely!personally I'll take 20th and be happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bransonmo Posted June 15, 2007 Report Share Posted June 15, 2007 I assume that 25/1 is for finishing 1st or is it for promotion. In any event bookies will always get some mug money this time of year. Transfers incomplete, no form assessment with lost or added players, in fact a lottery. They have punters money until next may, however they frame a market every year based on the current situation. I have a betting account, and our dismal results against lower teams cost me money last season. Bookies are in the winning business Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
court_bcfc Posted June 15, 2007 Report Share Posted June 15, 2007 In my paper today it says we are 99-1 and to finish 21st.Think it was Betfairs odds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanatopia Posted June 15, 2007 Report Share Posted June 15, 2007 I cannot believe Wed are still out at 20-1 - that is very generous odds... got my bet in early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcfcchris2016 Posted June 15, 2007 Report Share Posted June 15, 2007 i'd take 15th.then again i'll take any position 21st or over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tunley Legend Posted June 15, 2007 Report Share Posted June 15, 2007 It would be nice to finish 10th and establish ourselves in the top third of professional clubs in this country (like Colchester are at present!!). Mind you, 15th would not be a disaster this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Red Posted June 15, 2007 Report Share Posted June 15, 2007 I cannot believe Wed are still out at 20-1 - that is very generous odds... got my bet in early.Stupidly long odds. I've had a fiver on it. Preston look decent value also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redbarn Posted June 16, 2007 Report Share Posted June 16, 2007 Placing us at 15th/16th at this stage is crazy.We've got an equal chance as Norwich? Rollox do we!Maybe Redhyde.....just maybe!....But, there are umpteen numptys out there trying to put a placing on City's final position next season. Just a bit soon I reckon. How unreasonable is that? I think we can expect 4-5 new signings and as the time approaches this forum will be hot buzzing with fuelled speculation as to who is heading to Ashton Gate, I think we are getting a lot of positive signals now as to who/m it might be. So when a lot of players contracts will cease at the end of June, then come very early July a clearer picture will surely emerge. So, lets all wait until then, wether it be Porter, Naismith, Pospisil the Icelander or whoever. I feel sure we will not be disappointed...then and not until then is speculation about final positions justified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
