We're only favourites because we're playing Palace.

 

[TSB]

Don't like seeing Palace as the underdogs. That's when they thrive. No idea why we're favourites, other than current form

 

[Tyrone Biggums]

Bugger!

That's a kiss of death.

Current form, that will do nicely

Being favourites can have 2 effects
1. Underdogs win from the having nothing to lose effect
2. Favourites win from the we are the best effect.

For me odds mean nothing all 4 teams have the same chance.

 

[HastingsSeagull]

Sound about right. Run the play-offs 9 times and I reckon we'd go up 4 of them. Far from certain but as long as Watford don't have an epiphany I'm positive

We'd be a shorter priced 5/4 under that scenario .

Sounds good to me fella.

We're there to be knocked down, don't get over confident with that.

 

[Gumbo]

Lump on palace to win. Very slightly soften the blow should the unthinkable happen. When they lose to us though- all good its only money...

 

[Icy Gull]

Leicester will be favourites if they beat Watford. Pissed off they got through as I think they are potentially the best team in the division on their day. Would much rather have played Watford or Bolton if we beat Palace

Fair points. The good news is, Palace will not play against us as if they have nothing to lose, as they'll be well aware this is a massive game.

You'd have to put an absolute shit load of money on for it to soften the blow.

And then kill yourself afterwards for losing so much if you lost the money.

Happy days.

Not only will one of us get to the final, but even if losing the final, one of us will be getting about £10m. This is soooooo big.

 

[MissGull]

Robbie Fowler has just backed us to win the playoffs on Final Score. Said we are a great side. Good old Robbie!

This , we are rank outsiders .

 

[hola gus]

I'm not surprised we are favourites at all.

No me neither, as someone posted, a table showing points gained since the 1st Jan puts us top of the whole divisio
