Title: Play off Odds
Post by: andysly on May 08, 2019, 06:38:43 pm
Bit surprised how short a price we are given the huge points difference between us and the other 3.

Charlton 9/4
Sunderland & Portsmouth 5/2
Rovers 3/1

Bookmakers know that the play offs is a bit of a leveller. They’re hedging their bets at this point.

Their form going into the play offs isn’t good.

The “Euro Club Index” (not sure how they work it out but it’s a ranking of all clubs in Europe) has Charlton with a 62% chance of making the final...

Considering each team has a 3/1 chance of winning it charlton being 9/4 means we should be at least 4/1. Bookies not giving anything away.

That will possibly be based on them playing (allegedly) the weakest of the four teams in the semi final.

Championship has a spread of 7/4 to 9/2. Leeds & Derby
League 2 has 6/4 Mansfield and 9/2 Newport.

Seems they think L1 is the toughest to call.

There is nothing to separate the 4 clubs in 3 one off games. The points difference is over 46 games not 3. Massive difference. The bookies aren’t stupid are they.

Aston Villa, Rovers, Tranmere.
Hope the middle one is correct of course as for the others well i hope it’s Leeds,
(oh sorry folks yes Leeds) and league 2, well i am not bothered unless we don’t make it and then hope it’s Mansfield as a local game.

Come on lads. It's play-off week. The stress gets to you  and you tend to let secrets out that you'd normally keep under wraps. So it's time for an amnesty.

Campsall's just kicked us off. I'll follow up.

 I once committed the Sin of Onan while screwing up my eyes and imagining Theresa May in the bath.

I accept, it's not as foul, depraved and disgusting as wanting Leeds to win the play-offs, but it's the best I can do.

Anyone do better?
