Title odds

Ours continue to tumble.

But WHY are Middlesbrough as short as 2/1 for the title, even 13/8 with some bookies? How can any team be that short for the title? It's not the SPL, FFS!

Celtic were 40-1 on last season (which I suppose I should write as 1-40, but it just looks a bit strange).
Still think we especially want Boro, Hull, Derby and Burnley to be dropping points. Would be surprised if at least three of those don't finish in the top six. Feel free to bounce (especially if you make a more successful prediction).

I reckon any team who finish above Boro, will be champions

Totally agree on that one

Simster · Sep 15, 2015

Not sure about predictions but I do think ourselves and Burnley are the value bets there. There is certainly no value in Boro or Derby as far as I can see. I think we went under the radar until very recently, and people will expect us to drop off, despite the competition and strength in depth we seem to have. Burnley too will be strong. Middlesbrough and Derby are short odds based on reputation of a handful of big name players and their propensity to wave cash about. I guess that should suit us.

What was our odds at the beginning of the season.

The ones expected be around the play-offs are there now. Brighton are the only surprise package, although I expected us to be up there in the play offs, in no way could I have dreamt of a start to the season like this. Now if I am honest, I think that we are as good as anyone in the league.

We know how to get in front. We know how to hold a lead. We havn't been tested on the , can we come from behind in a match but so far so good in everything else

Good God I hope you're right. Murphy was brilliant tonight. Very intelligent footballer. I'm wondering how quick he is though?

Moshe Gariani · Sep 16, 2015

According to BV we are 4/9 to be in play offs at worst come the end of the season.

Which is nice...

He is very quick indeed both travelling with and without the ball. As I mentioned before he is extremely DIRECT. His weak point is that he doesn't have a lot of power in his shots but I think his other attributes will allow the fans to forgive him on that one

We were around the 20/1 mark to win and about 7/1 or so for promotion

Can only be weight of money - lots of tobys will have them in their accas. Same when we won league 1, scumhampton were still favs for ages when they couldn't keep up with this with that smug bin dipper **** in charge. :ascarf:

CheeseRolls · Sep 16, 2015

I had £25 each way at 33/1 on us at the start of the season.

Stumpy Tim · Sep 16, 2015

I had £20 on us to win the title at 25-1, the week before Murphy signed

nwgull · Sep 16, 2015

Wish I'd taken some odds on top 2 at beginning of season. Feeling quite good about my £5 on Hemed as top scorer at 50s though (now 14.5)!

Shrewd. You should be able to hedge those even if two or three contenders emerge, and lock in a tidy profit. :drink:

dazzer6666 · Sep 16, 2015

I put a very modest amount on at the start if the season, 25/1 for the title, 8/1 promotion and 7/2 top 6.

I don't do hedging #standorfall

Betfair Bozo · Sep 16, 2015

There was a fair bit of 33/1 around pre-season.

If you click on Brighton you can see the market moves.

I got the 8/1 promotion bet on early days too. As per the other thread, I think it'll be via the play-offs rather than auto.
