spyinthesky Posted 18 April, 2018 Share Posted 18 April, 2018 Anyone hazard a guess what the odds would have been on the teams finishing 8th, 10th and 13th in last years Premier League being relegated and all three newly promoted clubs staying up? I believe it is very rare that all three promoted clubs stay up and I guess the odds that Huddersfield seem on course to do so with a limited transfer budget and comparatively low player wages puts our plight into sharp focus!!

GGalpin Posted 18 April, 2018 Share Posted 18 April, 2018 I looked this up the other day out of vague interest, myself. If you'd put a £10 on us, WBA and Stoke to go down, you'd be on to win something around the £15,000 mark according to this: https://talksport.com/football/odds-be-relegated-premier-league-201718-every-club-ranked-most-least-likely-170624244236 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golden Balls Posted 18 April, 2018 Share Posted 18 April, 2018 I lumped £100 on at 9/1. Would rather not win but at least my season ticket will be free next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
austsaint Posted 18 April, 2018 Share Posted 18 April, 2018 I lumped £100 on at 9/1. Would rather not win but at least my season ticket will be free next year. $1:45 for every dollar down under today. WBA not quoted, and Stoke at $1:08 - seems cut and dried; Swansea at $4:50 and Huddersfield $5:00. We are deep in it, aren't we. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rory Peepa Posted 18 April, 2018 Share Posted 18 April, 2018 Bookies only got us odds On in last few weeks, even when we were obviously ****e. In February it was still about 5/1. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
austsaint Posted 18 April, 2018 Share Posted 18 April, 2018 Did you need the bookies’ odds to tell you that?! No, of course not, but even a week or so ago there was some hope; now there is none, and the betting market reflects the hopeless position we're in.

mrfahaji Posted 18 April, 2018 Share Posted 18 April, 2018 (edited) Putting money on us at 21/1 at the start of the season would have seemed incredibly negative, the only reason to do so was if you are constantly down on the club, do so regardless as ‘insurance’ or if you had genuine insight into how bad Pellegrino would be. However, once the season kicked off (certainly from Wolves onwards) there were signs that we'd end up in this position and could probably get good odds. H£ll, I got 16/1 at the start of November and there were plenty of warning signs before then. Edited 18 April, 2018 by mrfahaji Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heisenberg Posted 18 April, 2018 Share Posted 18 April, 2018 I have placed 4 separate bets at odds from 18/1 - 4/1 Stand to win an absolute fortune but will be very bitter sweet. I was never betting against Saints, more betting against the current management. It's been easy easy money past 2 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H£ll, I got 16/1 at the start of November and there were plenty of warning signs before then. I got a very good price on a double, us down pompey up. I thought, and certainly hoped, it would be a few quid down the drain but, after seeing our slump last season alongside the mickey mouse takeover down the road I thought it was worth a punt just in case. Of course I would much rather see us stay up and lose but I am genuinely torn on Pompey. If we are screwed anyway a few hundred quid wouldn't be a bad thing. Ideal scenario, Pompey charge into the playoffs, we manage to escape last day of the season, pompey proceed to f*ck up the play offs and I find an appropriate time to take a decent cash out.

Depends how much you'd stand to win from Pompey's success. It'd have to be in the thousands to make it worth it for me. I won over £100 when they won the FA Cup that time (after they got past Ipswich with an incredible amount of luck, I thought "that's the sort of luck you get when you're going to win the cup") but was still sickened every step they took towards the final. In fact, the day they beat United I decided to try and give up following football because the levels of hatred inside me that day was not healthy. Needless to say, it didn't work.

About three hundred quid, that's decent and my car is falling apart! Never the less I briefly lived in Pompey and now too many smug knobs who would be giving it the big'un if we were in the same league to make it worth it!
