Title: Skybet Post by: Maidenhead Red on Thursday, July 31, 2008, 11:38:51 Have us down at 3/1 to be relegated this year. i thought the odds would be longer than that! although they do have us at 10/1 to be promoted and 33/1 to win the league I'm a bit annoyed at the relegation odds. I wouldn't have thought we would have been seriously considered for relegation http://www.skybet.com/skybet?action=GoEvType&id=10003362 Title: Re: Skybet Post by: Nemo on Thursday, July 31, 2008, 11:48:56 The bookie's don't have a clue below Championship level, they've probably just read This is or something.

I was checking top goal scorer odds on one website and they had Cox down at 50/1, nothing wrong with that. However they had Tommy Mooney at 25/1 to be top scorer. So, Tommy Mooney is twice as likely to be League One top scorer than Simon Cox this season despite the fact he plays in Spain ::) Title: Re: Skybet Post by: Gazza's Fat Mate on Thursday, July 31, 2008, 15:07:01 Gambling is the devils work.
Title: Re: Skybet Post by: Simon Pieman on Thursday, July 31, 2008, 18:03:06 Of course, the bookies factor in how much people are going to bet on an outcome when they set their odds. Why offer 50/1 for Mooney if people will take 25/1 ?
Title: Re: Skybet Post by: Simon Pieman on Thursday, July 31, 2008, 18:04:33 Although I have just re-read DV's post and now realise he meant this season. That's funny and I bet they'll still get chumps betting on it.
