venga1 Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 Remember walking into the bookies in mid July last year and seeing them at EVENS to win the 3rd - I went back in the next evening and they were already in to 8/11. What odds do you think they will be to win a much better and more competitive 2nd Division?? My guess 7/4?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kompressaur Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 Biggest price i saw was 11/10 Venga. I couldnt get on due to me being limited to the high street. Peterhead were 9/2 at the start too (e/w 1/4 odds 1-2-3) I never backed either though as i thought the league was gonna be tighter than it was Took the 9/1 on Brechin in September and the 13/2 on Falkirk mind. Here's an old thread before the season were i was described as 'punterslounge dole scum, the guys a perv and a care bayr united fan' :lol http://www.pieandbovril.co.uk/forum/lofive....php/t8207.html Sorry back on topic i reckon you'll get 2/1 on them in places. Prob more as the bookies will overevaluate Partick's chances and i suppose they got to be in with a shout. What i think the bookies will go for whilst remembering this is not how i would value their respective changes would be- Gretna 2/1 Partick 9/4 Stranraer/Morton 6/1 Raith 13/2 Stirling 16/1 Peterhead 18/1 Ayr 20/1 Alloa 28/1 Forfar 33/1 Dumbarton/Arbroath 40/1 I dont know how to work out 'book' percentages etc so its prob well out. EDIT:Maybe the top 2 a little shorter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gretna_ed Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 I took 6/4 at the start of this season on us winning the league. I imagine the odds for next season will maybe be a bit higher guessing around 3/1 maybe even 4/1 either way I will be putting my original £100 stake from this season on us winning the second division Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest zonker84 Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 I'd love to know where you got 6/4, I had to make do with 11/10 If there is 3/1 or 4/1 next time, got to be a good bet, but I'd guess Gretna will go off at about 6/4, depending on their transfer dealings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boardroomshuffler Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 http://www.pieandbovril.co.uk/forum/lofive....php/t8207.htmlI dont know how to work out 'book' percentages etc so its prob well out. EDIT:Maybe the top 2 a little shorter 487572[/snapback] Simple it is divisible into 100 i.e 6/4 =40% 2/1 =33.3% 3/1 = 25% 9/1 =10% so in a four team /horse race at prices above would equal = 108.3% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
