HarryBosch Posted July 31, 2016 Author Share Posted July 31, 2016 Many now but Betfair Sportsbook and William Hill have the best odds Unclear if cash out will be available but should be if we get off to a flyer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OAFCM35 Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 So what ever points we get add 28 to it and if that's higher than the league winners points you've won? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daniel Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 So what ever points we get add 28 to it and if that's higher than the league winners points you've won? Add everyone else's to the final table also. So everyone but sheff utd has an head start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardOafc Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Add everyone else's to the final table also. So everyone but sheff utd has an head start. so would Walsall have won it or been right up there last season + 20? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniel Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 I would imagine Burton would have won it on the handicap but yes Walsall would have been up there, not sure what they started on but I don't think they were 1 of the favourites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave_Og Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 (edited) Yes. No. Have to take all he other teams' handicaps into account. Oops, sorry - that is a yes - because we are the highest handicapped team Edited July 31, 2016 by Dave_Og Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hometownclub Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 I don't think they are being over generous with +28pts for Latics, I think I'd sooner lay the bet than back us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarryBosch Posted August 1, 2016 Author Share Posted August 1, 2016 (edited) I don't think they are being over generous with +28pts for Latics, I think I'd sooner lay the bet than back us. I think it's value on the basis they would have been pricing us the same as this back when we had 4 players, no manager and didn't have Clarke, Green & Mckay (as they are still doing with every other market). It's 18 to 1 for a reason and clearly no cert but I think Robinson may be the real deal, we've got the largest and most experienced backroom staff I've ever known us to have and we'll still add a few more players of which at least one or two will be experienced, proven performers... I'm hopeful of a run for my money and will be cashing out the moment it makes sense to do so (if that moment does ever come) . Logic dictates we should get off to a slow start but we've often got off to a slow start when we could have got off to a decent one.... Why can't it be us this season that get's a :censored:load of luck & everything goes far better than anyone expected for once??

I admire your positivity, but looking at the squad even with at least a couple of decent signings, I'm struggling to see a great deal of quality. I hope I'm wrong but I can't see anything but a struggle on the cards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yarddog73 Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 When was the last time we finished within 28 points of the top? Add to that more capable teams who are getting a fair start and its a difficult one to call, It seems a fair price but there will be one or two who will do better even if we do improve on the last half dozen seasons of tripe, Bury only 4 behind, Fleetwood only 6, Bolton 16 and Bradford 18 all appear to be much better off than us and that's before you consider Sheffield United, Charlton and Millwall who look strong this season, good luck to anyone having a go but it's at best an optimistic punt.

HarryBosch Posted August 22, 2016 Author Share Posted August 22, 2016 So far, so good with this. Especially if we win at Bradford (which could send us 4th ) Interestingly we're still favourites to finish bottom with Betfair (haven't looked at other bookies) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
