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

The bookie's don't have a clue below Championship level, they've probably just read This is or something.

the betting companys know fuck all about league one.

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  Roll Eyes

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 ?

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.
