    The cashouts after yesterday's games haven't come up yet (I'll stick them up later) but I've just noticed something interesting whilst scanning the site.

    Wolves are currently 1/6 to finish as Champions <yikes> and we are out at 7/1 for the same.

    Now I know Wolves are everyone's favourite for the Championship title but do you think it's that cut and dried? I'm sorely tempted!!

    After yesterday's results..........

    City to finish top 2 and go up by autos...... £10 @ 14/1 - potential return £150 - cash out today ^ £60.00

    City to get promotion by any route..............£30 @ 8/1 - potential return £270 - cash out today ^ £128.58

    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 > £23.12

    Strange why Newport's cash out didn't go up after yesterday's excellent win away at Cambridge.

    Another win on Saturday will get you the extra £3.57 Sparkey. <cracker>

    Something strange going on. Just looked at the cash out situation this morning before our Bolton game and most have been revised upwards - why???

    City to finish top 2 and go up by autos...... £10 @ 14/1 - potential return £150 - cash out today > £60.00

    City to get promotion by any route..............£30 @ 8/1 - potential return £270 - cash out today ^ £141.43

    City just to finish in top 6..............................£30 @ 3/1 - potential return £120 - cash out today ^ £100.00

    Newport to finish in top 7 (playoffs).............£8 @ 12/1 - potential return £104 - cash out today ^ £29.72

    As promised earlier I'm cashing out the "top 6" bet and taking the £100 now it's got there. <cheers>

    To offset that, I'm going to replace it with a £30 bet @ 7/1 on us finishing as Champions - we're second favourites and I think that's very decent odds. I still can't believe that Wolves are 1/6 to finish top at this stage - they could easily implode and that's very short odds with more than half the season to go.

    I'll update everything when they come back up after today's games. <ok>

    A man of your word. I'd expect nothing else.

    That new bet isn't a bad shout. Warnock looking at a new contract, injured players coming back, the prospect of a new signing or two. The feel good factor will give everyone a boost.

    I'll be impressed if Wolves have a blip free Christmas. It'll be a real test of their credentials.

    I wonder how much Wednesday took out of the Robins legs as well.

    A big week ahead. Mustn't slip on today's banana skin.

    Turk - nice one. <ok>

    Put your dosh on Tomlin scoring if he comes on off the bench.

    Sorry I never replied to this Sparky but I got waylaid in the pub and lost two days of my life due to the evils of alcohol.....
    Anyway, I couldn't get a bet on Tomlin as Skybet and Betway don't do players to score during matches so I put a tenner on City to win to nil instead <doh>

    You win some and you lose some Turk - as long as it's only a bit of fun. Good job you didn't bet on Tomlin scoring anyway. <ok>

    I hit the buffers with my multiple efforts on that Bolton game <doh>.......but it'll come good again - let's hope it's tomorrow against Fulham.

    Ouch!
    Cashing in the top 6 bet looks a wise decision Sparkey.

    With the cash out doing a nose dive, what's the prices now compared with the prices you took ?

    Worth a few extra bob or not ?

    They've tightened up since I took them before a ball was kicked, except for Champions which was 25/1 at the time and I didn't bother with that. That's moved out now to 28/1 after the last 3 games and I took that on @7/1 just before. <doh>

    Still the shortened odds means the bookies think we have a better chance of promotion now than the start of the season so I'll take that.

    Anyone think we can catch Wolves over the next 21 games and it's worth a punt at 28/1?

    Worth taking your £9.24 and then put it on at 28/1

    Just under £268 instead of £240.
