Eddie Hitler Posted May 4, 2008 Report Share Posted May 4, 2008 Well, as we've been written off by everybody all season why should they start rating us now? William Hill: C Palace 2/1 Hull 11/5 Watford 11/4 Bristol City 19/5 They can shove their odds where the sun don't shine. Team spirit got us fourth.

Especially as we have second leg home advantage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted May 4, 2008 Report Share Posted May 4, 2008 I don't really 'get' odds, I understand 2-1 is more likely than 3-1 for example but when it gets to all this stuff I'm lost. Does it mean we are the least likely to go up according to the bookies? Who cares if no one gives us a chance, I'd prefer it like that as we seem to do better when no one expects us to.

Guest Eamer Posted May 4, 2008 Report Share Posted May 4, 2008 I don't really get all the odds crap either. I'm quite happy with being the underdog again, doesn't really matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely everybody's missing the point. 19/5 is bloody good odds- get on to it !!! Not only will you have the satisfaction of proving the b**stards wrong, you'll make money as well.

cheshire_red Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 Odds are simple, the more who bet on a particular runner the lesser the odds. Bookies will start out with their own odds but thereafter they decrease or increase depending on the number of backers. Accrington Stanley v Bury on Saturday, over £200k bet on the match, nigh on 100% on a Bury victory. This amount was over 3 times the amount bet on any other game in league 2 and between 2 clubs with nowt to play for, and both small clubs even for league 2. Referee and Assistants were swapped late on Friday night. Bury won. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
