Apart from the one after the Chesterfield game, you don't often see a poor bookie

What were we last year?
What about that handicap bet? How did that finish last year?
Not favourites to be relegated? Is that a first?
What odds a play off place?

What were we last year? ~ We were joint 66/1 with Accrington

What about that handicap bet? How did that finish last year? - All the info is now in cyberspace! Wycombe will have been top, followed closely by Burton. Exeter would have just been ahead of us


Not favourites to be relegated? Is that a first? ~ probably, yes. With the progress we have made in 8 years, we will be joint favourites for promotion for our great grandchildren to witness.

What odds a play off place? - Top 3 is 1/4 odds, they must be waiting to see what the squads are before they give away top 7 ?

Ladbrokes only give us 33/1

These odds are totally wrong. Everyone knows your chances of winning the league are based solely on your average crowd from the previous season, so we should have slightly longer odds than Dagenham. Ha ha! :lol:

All Pompey will achieve is to underachieve.

66/1 to win, but only 16/1 for top 3... this will make promotion via play offs only about 12/1 and 8/1 for a top 7 finish?

Would expect better than that..

Edit: only 6/1 :(

No Marky, Promotion via the playoffs is an impressive 33/1 yet promotion top 3 is 14/1. How does that work.

Hmmmm 16/1 is for top 7, not win the play offs.
See what you are saying, but once we had got in the top 7 , we would then be given no chance to get to the final and then win it

Bet365 have us at 100/1 to win the league next season.

If you back us each way (top 3 finish) you'll get 1/4 odds, so 25/1.

Worth a hundred quid of anybody's money! Are the players allowed to gamble on these odds?

Only if you play for Accrington.
