BlyBlyBabes 0 Posted March 7, 2010 Skybet now has City at odds of 1/20 for promotion. Yep. Plonk down 20 and they''ll give you back 21. That''s still a better rate of return than keeping your money in a savings account these days - and an ultra low risk investment I''d say!!! 5% in less than 3 months. Hmmm.....Leeds 1/3Charlton 2/1Colchester 9/4Swindon 3/1Millwall 7/2Huddersfield 4/1Southampton 8/1MK Dons 10/1(No offers on the rest)Strangely enough Coral expects some mug to bet on Yeovil at 250/1. For the bookies it''s clearly all over for us this season bar the shouting.But of course we''re all too nervous to even raise a triumphal whisper. And rightly so.But it feels good eh!! Shhh....

Im tempted to stick a fiver on us not to go up just to cover myself. I think 1/20 is way too short on us going up given the nature of this league so far this season.

mighty yellow 0 Posted March 7, 2010 Take a look on oddschecker.com, can actually get us at 1/10 with coral. That''s a price, we''re nailed on. Thinking of doing us, Toon and Rochdale to go up, with Posh and Darlington to go down. What do you reckon? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
keelan for england 0 Posted March 7, 2010 I had £40 at 13/2 before a ball had been kicked, to win the league,so although I will be pleased to get promotion, champions woul make me much happier. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[/quote]I know someone who lumped a fair bit on us at 16/1 after the Colchester horror show ( the price went out to 20/1 two or three weeks later )To protect his bank balance from further damage sectioning under the Mental Health Act seemed the only solution at the time but as things have turned out perhaps it wasn''t such a '' One Flew Over The Cuckoo''s Nest '' moment after all.........

SWP = Poor Mans Ruel Fox!! 0 Posted March 8, 2010 I work in Corals and I know due to the local fanbase we will be stung if we will the league. Was going to put some money on at a rival bookmakers at 25/1 just after Lambert took over but hesitated for some reason. A lot of punters who I spoke to about it have been ribbing me about it ever since!If Norwich win along with Newcastle and Chelsea winning their respective leagues I doubt many bookies shop''s in Norfolk will be making much of a profit this year on football bets!!

I am a Banana 0 Posted March 8, 2010 if the team in 2nd need to make 5 goals on norwich in the last game of the season and you could get odds of 1/33 would you have a bet on your life savings? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jarroldstander 0 Posted March 8, 2010 I put £37 on MK Dons, £60 on Huddersfield and £70 on City at around 7/1 before the start of the season to be League One Champions.After watching the 7-1 loss to Colchester I went home and put £91 on City to win the league between 11/1 and 12/1 (on Betfair).I then got the wobbles a few weeks ago and put £390 on Leeds to ensure I didn''t lose anything as I was sure they would win the league.Now I stand to win £878 if City win the title and £55 if Leeds do. Tempted to have a bit more on Leeds at 100/30 before tomorrow night as one City loss and two Leeds wins this week would shrink our seven point lead to just one point.

Just an observation of how the odds have see-sawed this season, much as your OP is an observation of the odds at the moment. I do apologise for contributing to your thread, for a change it was actually semi-interesting and not the vague drivel you usually post. Perhaps that is what threw me?
