So we're placed 8th, 9th, 10th, do you think this is a fair resemblence.

Also it looks like a mid-table scrap.

Your views.

I don't expect Crewe to finish bottom, they'll easily get three points in their 1st game and build on that.

 

[Easy 10]

Carlisle will do f*** all. They fell away badly last season, and were decidedly LIMP in the Playoffs once Leeds scored.

 

[blockhseagull]

Not great odds for Carlisle seeing as they have lost 2 of their best players

 

[Statto]

Well crewe will get off to a winning start so I doubt they will finish bottom. As for our prediction, I think thats about accurate. Btw I dont understand why MK Dons and Peterbrough are expected to do so well.

I do.....

Happy to help!

True.

 

[perth seagull]

This looks more like a league table of stadium capacity than a genuine league final table prediction.

 

[Bevendean Hillbilly]

No way Tranmere will finish 11th now they have Bas Savage!

 

[steward 433]

No way will Pboro or MK Dons finish in 3rd and 4th

No way will Dirty Leeds and Leicester be the top two either

 

[RM-Taylor]

Don't see why Scunthorpe have the same odd's as us, they'll do a lot worse than that. Might even go down again.

At this stage in the season, odds are determined mainly by the volume of bets that have been placed.

Football fans like to bet on their own team.

Teams with a lot of supporters will have more fans who have backed their particular team. Teams with hardly any supporters will have few people backing them.

Therefore ... it's perfectly logical for Leeds and Leicester to be favourites and Cheltenham and Crewe to be outsiders. Things will change, once the season gets underway.

 

[Napper]

Why are Huddersfield so rated this season ?

100 / 1 on Crewe as well is crazy , they have that Zola and Elding who has been proven before + they have 2.25m of which you'd expect a chunk to be re-invested

Not really the case Ed as the market is formed before a single bet is placed therefore it is not determined by the volume of beets placed. The odds are released in June and then bets can be placed.

 

[ben andrews' girlfriend]

I'd take 8th!

 

[Icy Gull]

Be interesting to see if the new MK manager is capable of doing the "steering" job on Ince's team that Peter Taylor was accused of doing here. Somehow doubt it myself and I will be as shocked to see them promoted or even in the play offs as I will be to see Crewe end up at the bottom

 

[Napper]

I'd take 8th!

why would you say that ?

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

I'd take 8th!

...... :thud:

 

[Scotty Mac]

reckon northampton might suprise a few people

But the bookies know more Leeds fans will bet on Leeds - so those original odds are biased slightly, in favour of the bookies.
