We’re not even on the list to make a bet for us to win the play offs. I can sort of see why, but to have Hull and Preston in the list doesn’t sit right with me as they are below us. Yes they have a game in hand but still.

Thought we were worth a daft quid if we were gonna be 100-1 but looks like we don’t even have a price 🤣.

A quid at 150-1 isn't daft. Almost certainly a waste but what can you buy for a quid these days? Not even a packet of crisps in Heathrow airport
 
I think you can get 40/1 to finish top 6, but realistically that would be 5 wins out of 5.

2/1 * 5/2 * 2/1* 6/4 * 4/5 = 141.75

40/1 is not value.

Put your quid on us to win @ Hull then put those winnings on us to win @ Ipswich etc would build up to around 140/1 to finish top 6.

I’ve got a twenty pound treble on Arsenal And City to win tonight and Boro to win tomorrow.

Then continue that across the play-offs.

2/1 to beat Leeds/Ipswich over two legs?

6/4 to win the final?

£1063 off your quid.

One in a thousand chance of promotion. Don't stop believing!
 
Such a frustrating season with injuries given our current form 😡😡

76 points is looking a target for top 6 - if some miracle happened and we did win 5 out of 5 - the play offs could be a bit easier as a team can even get promoted in them without winning a game over 90 minutes. In 1988 we won the play offs despite losing 2 of our 4 games.

Would those prices stay that way if we had won the preceding games or would they tighten reducing the differential?

The main thing with backing pre-playoff games is it takes no account of other teams collapsing. We may win 4 and draw 1 and still be in the playoffs. The comparison doesn't hold much water as it was written.

That's not to say its a bad idea, which it is, but for different reasons.

I have built that into the prices for example 4/5 (1.80) for us to win at home to Watford is quite short - we were 1.88 against Sheff Wed.

I got 50/1 yesterday afternoon. Had a daft fiver on it. A win tonight and we are 4 points away. Do-able.
