manc-mag 1 Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 As with every year, Spuds worth a tenner of absolutely nobody's money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tinofbeans 91 Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 whats the fuss, i don't see us finishing in the top 8 with the squad we currently have. its paper thin, we haven't any decent cover in any positions at all.... however if reinforced i'd reckon we could push for a uefa cup spot.

zico martin 90 Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 so does that mean you get an each way bet givinf you 50-1 to finish in the top 4? still not worth a punt like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 so does that mean you get an each way bet givinf you 50-1 to finish in the top 4? still not worth a punt like Depends on the bookies. Some do different specials and interpret e/w differently I think. £1 each way means betting £2 though. £1 on the place and £1 on the win. You're talking about place only. I think that's right anyway. Ask 2J or Gemmill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueStar 0 Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 (edited) I never could understand betting odds I'm sure someone might correct me if I'm over simplifying, but 2/1 means that for every £1 you put on, you'd get 2 back (plus your stake). I do think the format makes it needlessly difficult to work stuff like how Chelsea's 11/8 compares to Man U's 6/4. Why dont they just say 1.4/1 and 1.5/1 etc? For that matter, why is Chelsea 6/4 and not 3/2? Actually, don't listen to me, I'm starting to think I've nee fuckin clue after all Edited June 15, 2007 by BlueStar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewerk 31195 Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 William Hill are offering each way on us to win the league, but it's only placing first and second so still as hopeless. Though they have us at 7/1 to win the league without the big 4 which aren't bad odds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 46023 Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 So is that 7/1 to finish 5th then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 So is that 7/1 to finish 5th then? Well, not necessarily. Probably though, aye. If we come 5th and Spurs come 4th you've lost though, for example. Still a good bet. Fancy £20 on that tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 31195 Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 Aye effectively, as long as no one else outside of the big 4 finish above us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
