Yobocop 1,099 Posted September 13, 2011 Don''t ask why but I''ve managed to get the odds on Grant Holt being called up to Euro 2012 england squad Anyone like to have a guess? I will put the answer on here later on Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Syteanric 1 Posted September 13, 2011 5-2 on! Monster monster!more to the point if you have got the odds have you placed the bet? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nutty nigel 7,539 Posted September 13, 2011 Well I doubt it''s 5000-1 Paul!!Surely even Cody would be shorter than that! lol Does logic come into this? How many forwards are in front of him? Certainly not 4999. I''m going to guess something ridiculously short like 16/1. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kelvin Davies got in, how many are between him and Grant Holt? .....LOL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He has no chance IMO so the odds might just as well be 1,000,000-1, but of course the bookies would never risk it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Show Me What You Gooot! 0 Posted September 13, 2011 I''ve a feeling that the odds aren''t that high at all bearing in mind only English strikers are of course eligible for the England team.I''d guess at something like 20/1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gingerpele 0 Posted September 13, 2011 paul, no they wouldn''t.Grant Holt probably isn''t any further than something like 10th choice really. Kevin Davis got picked, if Holt has a good season, no reason why he couldn''t get picked if an injury crisis were to occur.22-1? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
norfolkchance1 0 Posted September 13, 2011 1/5 dead cert for me, in a couple of weeks he''ll score a hat trick or two and dislodge Rooney.Joking aside 30/1 may be reasonable.Also what price on Ruddy being in England squad this season? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
