Some strange ones today. Nottingham Forest are 2/1 at home to beat Brentford!

As far as I could see we were 13/8 to win, Portsmouth 6/4 to win. Hardly a massive difference. Better odds than I would have thought for Rovers, suits me!

I think the fact that we've got yet another injury apocalypse brewing might be an issue.

That's a threadbare bench today.

If I were Jackett, I'd be suggesting a few early knee-highers.

Could be how much money is being bet on the game, and what team.

Because they don’t just price up on the last 6 or so games.

Yes CLH

I thought of that thread immediately - 2 years ago BUT one Post in it sprang to mind as soon as I read South Coast Rovers op




Pompey fan here. We're usually favourites with the bookies, regardless of whether we should be, because more money gets put on us, hence the odds are shorter to stop the bookies losing a fortune. I wouldn't take any notice of it, other than a lot of Pompey fans liking a flutter.
