I’m no gambling man, never have been. But as things currently stand, the bookies have us as 22/1 to get promoted and 8/1 to get relegated. Perhaps a lower/mid-table position is where we will end up, I don’t know. But if you think of our squad and its potential, I find it strange to think that if you ran the season 23 times Watford would only get promoted once. And those odds are shorter than reality supposedly. Anyway, I thought it might be interesting to track how the bookies see our chances throughout the season. As of 06/09/25 WIN CHAMPIONSHIP: 100/1 PROMOTION: 22/1 RELEGATION: 8/1
At this stage of the season I would imagine the shortest odds for any team would be around 14/1 for promotion.
