Albion odds for season

[MACCAPACCA]

Mate of mine works in the odds pricing centre at William Hill and was informed yesterday of a punter wanting to place a bet of £250,000 on BHA to win the league next season. Most that could be taken was £1,000. Could this be an indication of a good summer? Could be someone connected with a bit of dosh. Wonder who? We are priced at 33/1 at Ladbrokes but only now 16/1 at Billy Hills now. Interesting.

 

[HantsSeagull]

don't care who he is - he is deluded. admirable but deluded.

Would be a good bet with the quality of the players coming in, I heard we are in for Halford with world class signings of this calibre we will be promoted in March.

What if it was Tony Bloom (via some proxy for anonymity)? The conclusion would be that he knows something we don't - that he'll be buying the type of quality player that will have us nailed to no.1 spot.

I suspect that Tony Bloom would know that a 250K bet would be far too large to be accepted.

 

[Prince Monolulu]

Burnley for me

 

[Everest]

Wanting to place a £250,000 bet, and you say it COULD be someone connected to a bit of dosh?

Really? How did you work that out?

I do hope he buys some quality players in the summer but even if he does, we will not be nailed on to win the title. Nobody is.

Look at this season! Who would have bet on Bournemouth?

I'm not saying the opening post is true or not in any sense.

But, £250k is not a 'large' bet in that kind of rarified atmosphere. Of course the odds offered for that stake will be a lot less than what we with our fivers can get publicly.

 

[Dan Aitch]

It's probably Michael Owen - getting in early before we announce his signing.

And pigs might fly. We can only dream .....

TB wouldn't be that stupid. He is a statistical gambler. that would just be a punt.

i think anyone putting that down would know that, so i call bullshit.

Max payout for that market is £100k so no point having more than £6k on at 16s
