    Had a quick gander at the odds for City and Watford to be promoted. City are 4/11 and Watford 5/6

    Eh? That'd win £8.33. Minus your £5 on City to win 4-2 that'd leave you with a cool £3.33 profit to splash out on a night out.

    He's only off to Maccy D's.

    I put £10 on Watford after the Bristol game, think that'd win me £32.50 should they go up.

    Of course you are, you have more points than them at the moment, theres no way they are going to give Watford better odds.

    I've never seen a bookie full stop?

    Apart from Victor.

    He looks like he's got a few quid mind

    Tickler wins.

    Bravo Tickles, bravo.

    I don't believe you've never seen a bookie Carmine you don't seem the sheltered type to me, must visit the races every now and then? I hope nobody put their life-savings on us going up anyway

    I've been in plenty but it's always some bird working behind the counter.

    Got an on line Bedfred account now.

    Put £25 in and I've got £15 left but with about a dozen bets still on.


    I'm the next Chopra.

    ****s sake, I read the title of this as "The Boobies think we'll do it" and was expecting some Miff style photos.

    What a let down.

    Not being funny but I don't understand those odds...

    Watford:
    Overview: Playing at home vs Leeds, a team with fans with an open dislike to Hull city, a team that is mid-table mediocrity, a team that lost 6-1 last time vs watford, a team that probably just wants to go on holiday.

    Recent form: They have picked up full points and scored 6 goals in their last 2 games.

    Psychology:They had almost given up all hope a couple weeks back, now they are absolutely pumped, full of will.


    Hull city:
    Overview: We play the champions. A team managed by a former Watford manager, whose strikeforce includes F.Campbell. A team with some brilliant players who will wanna show their talent before next season.

    Recent form: 1 point from 9 against 3 relegation candidates (including one already relegated)

    Psychology: A team that has been 2nd for a long time and is now in immediate fear of being caught up.


    Summary: would you rather have that 1 point advantage and play cardiff or 1 point deficit and play Leeds?
    Watford are in the better position.

    The whole "it's in our hands" is complete bollocks... if you face a far stronger opponent... that 1 point advantage is meaningless.

    Why do Cardiff not want to be on holiday but Leeds do? You complete ruin your own logic. You also forget to mention the form of one of the three relagation candidates. In the recent form table we are also one point behind Watford, so hardly a huge difference.

    It is in our hands though, how is that complete bollocks. If we win and Watford win who goes up? Therefore it's in our hands isn't it? Or am i defining in our own hands wrong. What do you define it as?

    Isn't the whole point to make stuff seem attractive enough for suckers to hand money over to the bookie who is just ensuring he never has to cycle or walk to work?

    The pools prediction in the mail, says a home win at the kc and an away win at Watford, the same bloke predicted a home win for Barnsley.

    Am I grasping at straws?

    They're taking the piss aren't they?

    I'm putting a Pony on Watford tomorrow night! I can get pissed on Saturday, hopefully I'll feel so rough on Sunday the result will not matter....
