Bottom Half??

[White Goodman]

I've got a 5 team ante-post accumulator on and 4 out of the 5 are strongly odds-on which leaves me with only one team likely to screw me over. The team in question is Southend and I took them at Evens to finish in the bottom half of league 2. A few weeks ago I had completely given up home but now the bookies have you lot as 7/2 to finish 13th or below.

Anyway, what do you think are the chances of Southend continuing this slump and ending up in the bottom half?

 

[C C Csiders]

None whatsoever.

 

[Jam_Man]

That's 6 points to give up and for 5 teams to do better than us over 9 games.

Whilst I wouldn't be surprised for us not to turn our form around enough for playoffs I don't see us finishing that low.

 

[RHB]

Not a chance mate, reckon we will upset your accumulator as we are still going for the play-offs:smile:

 

[White Goodman]

It was 11/2 last week so the bookies are starting to think it is a serious if unlikely possibility. For the sake of my finances, I hope Southend continue to rot and I take great pleasure in your demise. Nothing personal against you guys of course!:smile:

 

[White Goodman]

None whatsoever.

As of tonight, you lot could be only 5 points from 13th place with 27 points still up for grabs. On current form I'd say you're being a bit dismissive.

Thanks for that. You could always go and post on the other four teams websites, I'm sure you will be just as welcome.

My bet is on Southend, not the "other four teams". Just wanting to get the views of the fans and as I said, it's nothing personal. I'm sure some of you gamble and take delight in teams losing in order to tidy you over with a few quid.

What are the details of your bet out of interest? What teams and what odds did you get and how much you put on?

Please see the bet below Westy, with the original & current odds. Me and a mate threw in £20 each which I think gets us £470+ back.


Sunderland bottom half (4/11) - CURRENTLY 2nd BOTTOM
Yeovil relegation (4/5) - CURRENTLY 2nd BOTTOM
Wolves top three (1/3) - CURRENTLY TOP
Southend bottom half (1/1) - CURRENTLY 8th BUT WITHOUT A WIN IN 11 MATCHES
Hibs bottom 6 - (4/5) - CURRENTLY 6th BOTTOM

Prices as things stand are:

Sunderland bottom half - 1/40
Yeovil relegation - 4/11
Wolves top three - ??? Price on Top 2 is 1/10
Southend bottom half -7/2
Hibs bottom 6 - 2/9

Almost certain to finish in the bottom half. We can't beat an egg.

That's one serious mug punt.:hilarious:

Don't know if you've been munching too much Toblerone mate but how do you work that one out? I got it at approx 11/1 at the end of July, yet nearly 8 months later it's gone down to around 7/1. At very worst, I've got a lot of excitement out of it and at best I'll pick up a decent 3-figure sum.

Bet for cash not excitement it's the only way.

I can think of many other ways to get some excitement and none even involve smearing marmite over my bollocks and letting a lion lick it off...i'd do that over your daft bet and still get more excitement

DWB, In light of Cricko's warning, are you allowed to use the word marmite? Just wondering.

It's a word that you either love or hate

I hope that wasn't an attempt to be funny Dave. If so, you failed miserably! You can do what you like but I'll stick to enjoying my ante-posts. Got a near 17/1 double up last year (Pompey/Posh relegation) so I'll leave you to enjoy your bizarre fetishes!:winking:

It's Webby to you

It's Webby to you

Whatever you say Dave!

Anyway, Dagenham & Redbridge (11th place) are now within 3 points reach so things are definitely hotting up!
