Ridiculous odds in a 3-horse race isn't it. Yes, we'll almost certainly get humped, but this is still a LEAGUE game, not a Conference South team rocking up at Anfield. If I see 25's then I'll probably stick a couple of quid on. Be rude not to.

Be careful - some people might think it'd be worth it!

I’m now hoping we get releagated with 40 pts. Then promotion back the following season.

Off topic a bit, but are we really 18/1 to win tomorrow?
If so I'm having a fiver on that.

I saw 22/1 somewhere else.

Surely these points ranges aren't probabilistic numbers but market making numbers? So designed to incentivise betting and leave in a margin of error guaranteed to favour the house (on average).

I'm no expert in how bookies make their margin, but I'd imagine that a fair bit of it for the spread betting companies comes from the internal range itself (by which I mean what's excluded, eg, the 39.5-41 that they align with B&HA)

I know it's unrelated slightly to the original post, but reckon we need a song for Pascal Gross, considering he's probably our best player.

Possibly a bit naff, but what do people think of this potentially:

To the tune of give me oil (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GRuvtezIsNk)

Pascal Gross, Pascal Gross, He's our German,
Pascal Gross, Pascal Gross, I say,
Pascal Gross, Pascal Gross, now a seagull
He'll keep scoring till the end of May!

Personally I can't wait to get the football nonsense out of the way.
The sooner we get to the excitment of the next transfer window the happier I'll be.

Be careful with this lad, he has a track record of reneging on his losing bets. Some of us are still waiting for him to kiss Dick Knight's ars* after losing a prediction from Withdean.

Nobody can POSSIBLY say either way - you’re all just guessing. Those writing anything as ‘fact’ shouldn’t be and this thread is pointless at this stage. Hope that helps.
