Best price first, worst price last. Newcastle United - 16/1 - 10/1 Hull City Tigers - 12/1 - 8/1 Aston Villa - 9/1 - 5/1 Leicester - 5/1 - 7/2 Sunderland - 8/15 - 1/3 Burnley - 1/8 - 1/25 QPR - 1/16 - 1/50 Interestingly, excluding QPR who aren't shown on the chart, Newcastle and then Villa are the most popular bets. We are the least popular.
I'm mildly tempted by 9/1 against Villa - but they should be able to beat Burnley on the final day. If Burnley can pull themselves up* within two points of Villa before then, though, it could be tasty! (* Not by beating us, I hope.)
Looks like the betting has moved. Newcastle 16/1 - 11/1 Hull 12/1 - 8/1 Villa 15/2 - 5/1 Lester 11/2 - 4/1 Sunderland 2/5 - 6/17 Burnley 1/14 - 1/25 QPR 1/25 - 1/50
Yeah I missed that. Oddschecker highlights the best odds they have highlighted 2/5 which is 2.5/1yet as you say 6/17 is 2.8/1.
Nope. 2/5 is a better price than 6/17. I think he was just querying the unusual use of 6/17, which would not have been a price you'd ever have heard in the old pre-internet days.
not generally, but i remember placing a bet on course somewhere years back and they converted all odds to something out of a hundred for their calculations. 6/17 is close to 36/100.
0.36/1 is just 36/100 It's not 6/17 since 6/17 is a recurring decimal rather than a terminating decimal like 36/100=18/50=9/25
I just copied what the fella above had said, rather than figure it out for myself. 6/17 is genuine though, the 17 can't be lowered without it a decimal. Two common sets of odds that are a bit strange though are 6/4 and 4/6. Why not 3/2 and 2/3?
In Australia they just give you odds in dollar amounts, e.g. $2.50, $8, etc. Where it implies that for every dollar you bet, you get $2.50 or $8 respectively in return. Much simpler..
