Just for fun through the season

Don't know if this'll be of any interest. We've still got 2 thirds of the season to go, so I'll jot down the 4 bets I did before the season started, the odds I got at the time, the potential return and the present cash out on offer as it changes with each game.

They're the only season long bets I've got running for a bit of fun, though I do like to have a go on each City game as it comes up. This is as it stands today before the Barnsley game.

City to finish top 2 and go up by autos...... £10 @ 14/1 - potential return £150 - cash out today £33.34

City to get promotion by any route..............£30 @ 8/1 - potential return £270 - cash out today £77.15

City just to finish in top 6..............................£30 @ 3/1 - potential return £ 120 - cash out today £79.42

Newport to finish in top 7 (playoffs).............£8 @ 12/1 - potential return £104 - cash out today £23.12

 

This morning..........

City to finish top 2 and go up by autos...... £10 @ 14/1 - potential return £150 - cash out today ^ £37.50

City to get promotion by any route..............£30 @ 8/1 - potential return £270 - cash out today ^ £90.00

City just to finish in top 6..............................£30 @ 3/1 - potential return £120 - cash out today ^ £82.50

Newport to finish in top 7 (playoffs).............£8 @ 12/1 - potential return £104 - cash out today > £18.91

 

After the Forest game.........(and Newport's win at Swindon yesterday)

City to finish top 2 and go up by autos...... £10 @ 14/1 - potential return £150 - cash out today ^ £42.86

City to get promotion by any route..............£30 @ 8/1 - potential return £270 - cash out today ^ £102.86

City just to finish in top 6..............................£30 @ 3/1 - potential return £120 - cash out today ^ £86.54

Newport to finish in top 7 (playoffs).............£8 @ 12/1 - potential return £104 - cash out today ^ £26.00

 

After Derby got beaten at home last night. We haven't kicked a ball since Forest, but see how other club's results affect the figures.

City to finish top 2 and go up by autos...... £10 @ 14/1 - potential return £150 - cash out today > £42.86

City to get promotion by any route..............£30 @ 8/1 - potential return £270 - cash out today ^ £108.00

City just to finish in top 6..............................£30 @ 3/1 - potential return £120 - cash out today ^ £90.00

Newport to finish in top 7 (playoffs).............£8 @ 12/1 - potential return £104 - cash out today > £26.00

 

So! They don't envisage Derby being involved in the top two, then. But potentially involved in top 6 shoot out.

 

Correct Furter........but they could be wrong (hopefully about them being involved in the top 2).....

 

This morning after the Norwich game (and Villa only getting a draw at Leeds)..............

City to finish top 2 and go up by autos...... £10 @ 14/1 - potential return £150 - cash out today ^ £50.00

City to get promotion by any route..............£30 @ 8/1 - potential return £270 - cash out today ^ £113.69

City just to finish in top 6..............................£30 @ 3/1 - potential return £120 - cash out today ^ £96.43

Newport to finish in top 7 (playoffs).............£8 @ 12/1 - potential return £104 - cash out today > £26.00

 

Another lucky win for Cardiff and sparkey benefits.

 

Yup - I can't believe my and Warnock's luck this season.

 

I'm sure Tan will be going into meltdown. It's shattered his belief that Red is a lucky colour.

Saying that, I'm sure we've been lucky in a few different coloured strips this season.

 

Probably went up again today after Sheffield lost and villa drew.

 

I noticed the City promotion by any route went up at about 5 O'clock from £113.69 to £120 after Sheff Utd got beat today.

At the moment all bets have been suspended because the Wurzels and Boro are playing right now. I'll post an update in the morning.

 

I'll log on with a brew at around 7:30 in the morning and wait in eager anticipation.

 

You may have to wait longer than that - well it will be Sunday morning......

 

OK - this morning's CO's after the Friday/Saturday games. The Brum/Wolves result tomorrow evening could change them yet again..........

City to finish top 2 and go up by autos...... £10 @ 14/1 - potential return £150 - cash out today ^ £57.15

City to get promotion by any route..............£30 @ 8/1 - potential return £270 - cash out today ^ £120.00

City just to finish in top 6..............................£30 @ 3/1 - potential return £120 - cash out today > £96.43

Newport to finish in top 7 (playoffs).............£8 @ 12/1 - potential return £104 - cash out today > £26.00

 

Funny really but I've always liked green.

 

Just hope Tan doesn't change it to red.........

 

Now,now Sparks that's a bit naughty.

 

Strange - Wurzel City win last night and the cash out for us getting promoted actually goes up this morning from £120.00 to £128.58.

That would suggest we're more likely to go up - how do they work that out? Did they see Sheff Utd as a bigger threat?

 

Was it about the performance more than the result. Just looked and they don't seem to have a tough run of games coming up, so not that. Could be that it was always going to happen that was as the pack would thin out behind us whatever the result.

Who cares, bookies are usually quite good at this, though they had us wrong at the start of the season.
