I just had £20 on us to be promoted at 11/2

Am I stupid or realistic?

 

[clippedgull]

Not realistic, but not a huge bet so worth a gamble.

 

[mrbigshot]

Realistic, there's more signings to come!

 

[Seagulltonian]

Well, if you put in a savings account, you'd get f*** all interest. So, I think a shrewd investment

Realistic.

Not realistic

Why not?

i had to try and quench my excitement

Who am I to argue with Mr Bigshot?

 

[Seagulls1984]

Cracking bet,anyone who thinks we are not promotion candidates are not living in the real world.

 

[Gullys Cats]

I was thinking the same.

 

[Bladders]

Those odds will shorten when we get our next world class signings on board.

More like 2/11.

 

[clippedgull]

Realistic.
Why not?

Not at this point in time. I think there are teams that have more realistic prospects at this stage. The price is not great over a minimum of 46 games either! I'm positive a better price will be available. I believe we will thereabouts come the end of the season, not sure on promotion. But everything is crossed.

There are teams with more realistic prospects. 7 of them have shorter odds. Given that we're expecting another couple of good signings, 11/2 looks good to me.

What's that number of games got to do with it? 1 in 8 teams gets promoted, and we're being priced at 1 in 6.5, which seems ok to me.

If 11/2 1/2/3 looks good to you then I'm not going to argue. But I'm going to wait until we hit a poor patch this side of Christmas (hopefully not too poor!) and get a better price than that.

Of course everything is a gamble and that price could be a bargain, just not for me.

Not for me either, but OP asked if it was realistic and I think it is. No problem if you don't.

Not wanting to belittle anything that's happened to date, but our big problem last season was creating chances and scoring goals. To date we have signed two defenders and a keeper, and look like losing an amazing attacking midfielder. I don't think it's appropriate (yet) to be splashing the cash on us getting promoted....

 

[Durlston]

If you got best odds on that, piersa, then that's a value bet. The new signings are exciting, the experience of playing Championship football and what to expect makes 11/2 look a nice wager.

I don't know what's going on at Barnsley but they're 200/1 for the title!

Building from the back my friend . I think we have several good players to come judging from interviews with Gustav and Bridge.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Looks like you got the best odds currently available. A few bookies going 9/2 and one going 4/1.

I keep getting you two mixed up. Anyone else?

 

[misterspatch]

anyone shocked at Leicester being favourites to go up? It was the same last season and I think it will happen again.
