RedAndWhite91 Posted 17 December, 2009 Posted 17 December, 2009 Put a fiver on us to reach the play-offs at 4/1 at the start of the season.
Clapham Saint Posted 17 December, 2009 Posted 17 December, 2009 Put a fiver on us to reach the play-offs at 4/1 at the start of the season. Good effort. My only football bets this year are £10 - P*mpey to go down - 3/1 £10 - P*mpey to finish bottom - 11/1
RedAndWhite91 Posted 17 December, 2009 Posted 17 December, 2009 Good effort. My only football bets this year are £10 - P*mpey to go down - 3/1 £10 - P*mpey to finish bottom - 11/1 Good effort! I had £3 (Yes, £3...) on Pompey to go down at 4/1... Also won £44.30 on my Tuesday night accumulator 6-fold £2 bet!
Saint_clark Posted 17 December, 2009 Posted 17 December, 2009 Wonder what the odds are for us to win the JPT and get promoted?
Wes Tender Posted 17 December, 2009 Posted 17 December, 2009 Their assessment seems reasonable for us. Whether Keane can do a Sunderland at Ipswich is far more doubtful given that he seems to have been a bit of a damp squib earlier on and didn't exactly galvanise them into action. If we can replicate the form of the past ten or so matches over the rest of the season, we should manage it and I think that they're right that if we get into the play-offs, we'd be the favourites to win it. They haven't even mentioned the probability that if we're mid table by the New Year that we would strengthen in January.
Tamesaint Posted 17 December, 2009 Posted 17 December, 2009 I had a patent (3 selections , 7 bets ) before the season started on Pompey to be bottom at Christmas (looking good . I may even lay some of it off this Saturday ), Saints to be promoted (looking a better bet each week that passes) and ..... Ipswich to win the Championship :-( :-( Oh well. 2 out of 3 ain't bad and maybe Keano can inspire a Sunderland style charge out of his team!!

Arizona Posted 17 December, 2009 Posted 17 December, 2009 If anyone wants a bit of easy money, you can probably get good odds on Saints to beat the Dons 6-2 on agg. That's a nailed on certainty.
JibMcdo Posted 17 December, 2009 Posted 17 December, 2009 When we signed David Connolly we were 20-1 to get promoted so I stuck £10 on. We've only been beaten by Brighton since and the odds have been slashed drastically! I definitely got the best odds at the time and since.
Saint_clark Posted 17 December, 2009 Posted 17 December, 2009 When we signed David Connolly we were 20-1 to get promoted so I stuck £10 on. We've only been beaten by Brighton since and the odds have been slashed drastically! I definitely got the best odds at the time and since. Lucky f*cker. I kept meaning to put several bets on near the start of the season (us to get promoted, Pompey relegated were the main two) but never got round to it. Probably not worth it now.
benjii Posted 17 December, 2009 Posted 17 December, 2009 I've been winning plenty on us this season. Got £10 up to £85 over the last few matches. Just going to check our odds to win on Saturday actually...
benjii Posted 17 December, 2009 Posted 17 December, 2009 3/1 on William Hill and the draw is a very tempting 12/5. Think I might stick £10 on both.
La BoIS Saint Posted 17 December, 2009 Posted 17 December, 2009 3/1 on William Hill and the draw is a very tempting 12/5. Think I might stick £10 on both. You could simply lay Leeds on Betfair and probably get better odds
dan17 Posted 17 December, 2009 Posted 17 December, 2009 Actually though what does that mean?? I've often wondered what it means to 'lay' something in betting terms...
toofarnorth Posted 17 December, 2009 Posted 17 December, 2009 Basically means you bet on Leeds not to win. http://help.betfair.com/contents/itemId/i65767722/index.en.html
NickG Posted 17 December, 2009 Author Posted 17 December, 2009 bet 365 now has us joint 6th favorite for promotion - so guess they reckon play offs
CWD Posted 18 December, 2009 Posted 18 December, 2009 Ive got a fiver on us to win the JPT at 4/1. I know not a huge amount of money but im a student - i couldnt eat for a week after puting that bet on!
Daren W Posted 18 December, 2009 Posted 18 December, 2009 Good effort. My only football bets this year are £10 - P*mpey to go down - 3/1 £10 - P*mpey to finish bottom - 11/1 I stand to win £350 if Pompey go down with Wolves and Hull...
John McAndrew Posted 18 December, 2009 Posted 18 December, 2009 Do you still get paid if we go up in the play offs or has it got to be automatic promotion
Wes Tender Posted 18 December, 2009 Posted 18 December, 2009 Do you still get paid if we go up in the play offs or has it got to be automatic promotion Surely promotion is promotion, regardless of whether it is acheived via the play-offs or not. There could be a separate bet available for the automatic positions perhaps.
Bartosz Bialkowski Posted 18 December, 2009 Posted 18 December, 2009 I was talking about as one bet MLG. 21/1 with Coral for Saints promoted and winning the JPT
saints triumph Posted 18 December, 2009 Posted 18 December, 2009 Had £20 at 8/1 at the start of seson for promotion.
Um Bongo Posted 18 December, 2009 Posted 18 December, 2009 Got Saints to finish 1st or 2nd at 80/1 back in September. Each way bet takes it to a 3rd/4th finish as well.
mikec Posted 18 December, 2009 Posted 18 December, 2009 Basically means you bet on Leeds not to win. http://help.betfair.com/contents/itemId/i65767722/index.en.html Following up on the option to "lay" Leeds, the Betfair odds for that are currently 1.96. I think this means you would be betting on Saints to win OR draw at odds of around Evens (allowing for Betfair commission).
Liquidshokk Posted 18 December, 2009 Posted 18 December, 2009 Quite tempted to put a bet on for this game (saints to win of course) but know nothing about betting :confused: I get the whole on the right is what you bet, left is what you win (plus your original money) but confused as to why some bets are labelled as 10/1 whereas another may be labelled 20/2 (might be bad example) why arent all odds marked up as /1 when the two are technically the same?? excuse my noobness
saint_stevo Posted 18 December, 2009 Posted 18 December, 2009 pretty sure i bet a 5er on us to get promoted at 18s at the beggining of the season.

You get odds like 13/2 rather than having to do 6.5/1, sounds to me like you should just use decimal odds if you're betting online.

Cheers, I knew the were both the same btw just didnt make sense why a lot were list as /1 and others not wanted to bet 1-2 final scoe and the odds on betfair are 18/1 and on bet365 its 7/2 Based on your explanation its purely to get around having 3.5/1 I kind of assumed that but assumption is the mother of all f*** ups as they say...
Liquidshokk Posted 19 December, 2009 Posted 19 December, 2009 However The odds of Exeter beating southend are 6/4, why not list that as 3/2?
farawaysaint Posted 19 December, 2009 Posted 19 December, 2009 However The odds of Exeter beating southend are 6/4, why not list that as 3/2? Hazarding a guess, 6/4 sounds like better odds so maybe a psychological thing to induce people to bet?
Glasgow_Saint Posted 19 December, 2009 Posted 19 December, 2009 Said since the summer that the playoffs is/should/will be realistic and should be the minimum target. glad the rest on here now accept this and the bookies are also starting to back us too.

Glasgow_Saint Posted 19 December, 2009 Posted 19 December, 2009 only realistic following the change of form correctly predicted in my "season start here" thread! By "change of form" I pressume you mean 'we started performing as we should considering the team we have and money we have spent'?
NickG Posted 19 December, 2009 Author Posted 19 December, 2009 once the players had chance to actually arrive and Pardew wasn't working on his own
Glasgow_Saint Posted 19 December, 2009 Posted 19 December, 2009 once the players had chance to actually arrive and Pardew wasn't working on his own well the fact remains - only a handful on here predicted we would be succesful and make playoffs this season we had to endure alot of stick for being so positive but we are now having the last laugh and its very satisfying.
