Just a selection of the latest odds on winning the title: BET365 Victor Ladbrookes SkyBet City 21/20 10/11 10/11 1/1 Chelsea 2/1 9/4 2/1 9/4 Arsenal 9/2 11/2 9/2 9/2 Liverpool 14/1 12/1 14/1 12/1 United 40/1 66/1 66/1 40/1 Everton 150/1 150/1 100/1 250/1
Are Spurs considereed less likely than Everton to win? You can obviously tell the maths involved here too... sure, United have a better chance of winning than Everton... but 40-1 compared to 250-1? The gap between those two teams in ability isn't that big at the moment. Obviously- more United fans- means more optimistic United bids- means more to pay out should United win the unlikely. Everton won't win... but 250-1 is probably good odds... think they've better chance than that.
Although Tobes would not accept it there are 2 elements going into the odds that are presented. Yes there are a battery of statistical techniques based upon the data that we all know (Optima etc.). Then there is the 'expert opinion' to help confirm or deny the staistics. The result of all of that is a set of figures (raw odds if you will). These are passed to their Business Managers who use their own customer information to test the likely attractiveness of those odds to their client base. The result of their deliberations concludes with the odds that you see offered. This helps explain why 2 firms can be offering different odds on the same outcome. As for Spurs I can't remember what their odds were but I THINK they were comparable with Everton's.
United's odds will all be screwed up by the influx of gumby mancs betting on the title after mata the saviour joined them
This odds is for a laugh. I cannot see United and City having the same odds or United having better chance o winning the championship than Liverpool .Odds for a laugh.
Looking at the bet statistics... Manchester United are receiving more bets than anyone!!!! That's why their odds are so low with some companies- less to pay out should the freakish happen and United actually win. 1 out of every 5 bets is for United to win the title. That's a lot of optimism from a bunch of people in Surrey.

8/1 on arsenal is still good odds but a lousy bet. 14/1 on lfc is probably still not too bad, we are 6 points off with 13 to go. if we can get within say 3 points in the next 5 games? that'll be slashed... still a long shot gamblers bet. utd odds are hilarious. #lucky to have 40 and be safe
I think it could be 100-1 and I'd consider it piss poor odds. Simply put, it doesn't matter how long the odds are if they don't win it.
Best odds always mean the highest return, unless your a bookie (in which case you can f**k off, no offence )
You can now get 579/1 on betfair for Utd to win the league. Cue a breakdown of the home counties banking system as some deluded fools empty their accounts
I'd say anything over 10/1 would be a decent bet. If you played the season ending 10 times from now... I think Arse would probably win the title once.
