gsr600 0 Posted June 3, 2008 why are the bookies predicting relegation, where does it say norwich are 33/1 to win the league so theyre going to get relehgated, the thing is if ure 33/1 to win the league it means the bookies dont think u have a chance of winning the league, this means that they believe we wont get top spot, but they dont say where they think we will finish, for all we know the bookies might put us at 10/1 for play off, no one knows, untill the bookies release the odds, as for the clear out and and thew l;ack of bidding a higher bid for bell, how much do u think we should pay for a league one player, yeah he may be good but would u rather pay more money for bell and miss out on hoolahan or buy hoolahan and another better player then bell for the price bell would cost, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tetteys Jig 830 Posted June 3, 2008 [quote user="Steelsilver"]Bookmakers have placed Norwich City at 33/1 odds of winning the Championship. This relates to City being one of the teams that will be battling for survival at the bottom of the Championship, and as they say....bookies hardly get it wrong. So what can we expect? If what i''m reading into the latest news....all My Roeder is after is free transfers, and players on the cheap. This is exactly in line with what i had already suggested a month or so ago, that City are in finacial crisis and the cuts were done to reduce wages, not to improove and push for promotion. I would suggest the supporters have been decieved and lied to. BS baffles brains....and thats exactly what City have and are trying to do!!![/quote]Bookies don''t really predict, they let us the punters do that, and then change the odds to suit, u just watch them odds drop if, as many expect we go out an spend £3m or so on some good players. People will start to back us, and then the odds will go down. All 33-1 suggests to me is, while i''m wary of betting on things i''m biased towards, it might be worth a punt! I don''t think we''re a million miles away from where we were in 04/05 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lucky green trainers 0 Posted June 3, 2008 heard on radio broadland this a/m that city were 7-1 (from memory) to be relegated with william hill. so sure, in terms of spending power - we are probably less competitive in this league than for the last 4 years at least, cos obviously there''s no big whispers we''ll have much to spend - else people in the know would be snapping up the ''bargain'' 33-1 for us to be champions. these crappy odds are something that very city fan should be concerned about - cos it looks like roedy''s budget could be as bad as feared...lets not hope so - ''cos realistically it seems out first goal will be to secure our champs status and push on from there.whether or not you agree with the bookies appraisal - they fix the odds objectively with no room for sentiment - how does it make you feel that NCFC is judged as having a MUCH better chance of relegation to league 1 than promotion to the prem??? sunnyside up???lets hope some of the transfer targets become fact than the usual ''linked to'' BS..> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
canary cherub 1 Posted June 3, 2008 fwiw we''re currently second favourites for relegation after Blackpool, followed by Barnsley, Doncaster and Plymouth.

I did say put your money where your mouth is and offered you a serious bet between £100 and £1000 with a third party (not the tuck shop monitor) to hold the cheques.

newyorkcanary 14 Posted June 3, 2008 Since the season ended and the Free Bet stopped for the year, there hasn''t been much reason to post on these boards lately. However, this thread is priceless. What kind of idiot refuses a $1000 bet if he thinks he''s right? Its basically to the point where I''m rooting for the kid to own up that he put up a moronic post and move on. It''s like watching a car wreck every time he replies-- you don''t want to really see anything horrible but can''t turn away. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
