[Football] 40pts Might Not Be Enough This Season

[Easy 10]

We're as long as 25s with some............

Ridiculous odds in a 3-horse race isn't it. Yes, we'll almost certainly get humped, but this is still a LEAGUE game, not a Conference South team rocking up at Anfield. If I see 25's then I'll probably stick a couple of quid on. Be rude not to.

If we went down with 40 points I'd jump NAKED off the I360

Be careful - some people might think it'd be worth it!

I’m now hoping we get releagated with 40 pts. Then promotion back the following season.

Off topic a bit, but are we really 18/1 to win tomorrow?
If so I'm having a fiver on that.

I saw 22/1 somewhere else.

23/1 on the exchanges.

What did I tell you!

Surely these points ranges aren't probabilistic numbers but market making numbers? So designed to incentivise betting and leave in a margin of error guaranteed to favour the house (on average).

I'm no expert in how bookies make their margin, but I'd imagine that a fair bit of it for the spread betting companies comes from the internal range itself (by which I mean what's excluded, eg, the 39.5-41 that they align with B&HA)

I have never been on that ERECTION.

22/1 on my Corals account. Think I might.....

I know it's unrelated slightly to the original post, but reckon we need a song for Pascal Gross, considering he's probably our best player.

Possibly a bit naff, but what do people think of this potentially:

To the tune of give me oil (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GRuvtezIsNk)

Pascal Gross, Pascal Gross, He's our German,
Pascal Gross, Pascal Gross, I say,
Pascal Gross, Pascal Gross, now a seagull
He'll keep scoring till the end of May!

Personally I can't wait to get the football nonsense out of the way.
The sooner we get to the excitment of the next transfer window the happier I'll be.

That’s exactly it [emoji106]

Be careful with this lad, he has a track record of reneging on his losing bets. Some of us are still waiting for him to kiss Dick Knight's ars* after losing a prediction from Withdean.

Nobody can POSSIBLY say either way - you’re all just guessing. Those writing anything as ‘fact’ shouldn’t be and this thread is pointless at this stage. Hope that helps.
