league handicap bet

For anyone interested. This is from W Hill. There are others but I don`t know whether they gives places. This one does e/w at 1/4 odds for 1,2,3,4.

This is how they finished last season

1 Chelsea 87
2 Manchester City 79
3 Arsenal 75
4 Manchester United 70
5 Tottenham Hotspur 64
6 Liverpool 62
7 Southampton 60
8 Swansea City 56
9 Stoke City 54
10 Crystal Palace 48
11 Everton 47
12 West Ham United 47
13 West Bromwich Albion 44
14 Leicester City 41
15 Newcastle United 39
16 Sunderland 38
17 Aston Villa 38


This is the extra points `start` as per W Hill

16/1 Man City +2
15/1 Arsenal +6
15/1 Man Utd +7
15/1 Liverpool +15
15/1 Tottenham +21
15/1 Southampton +27
12/1 Everton +29
15/1 Swansea +35
18/1 West Ham +35
12/1 Stoke +37
12/1 Crystal Palace +39
15/1 Newcastle +39
18/1 Aston Villa +42
14/1 West Brom +42
12/1 Leicester +44
14/1 Bournemouth +45
15/1 Sunderland +45
15/1 Norwich +46
16/1 Watford +48

This is how they would have finished with those handicaps. I haven`t got last seasons figures so obviously this could be a mile out but might serve as a rough guide.




I suppose it`s a question of how much better we think we`ll do compared to the others (to bet on ourselves as improved) or whether to bet on another team to make progress.

The bookies don`t give us much chance atm but we still have transfers to come (??)

What do you lot think. Anyone worth a flutter?

 

Us stoke and palace look like a canny flutter

 

With Wickham?

Stoke look a decent shout, genuine mid table. Probblies why only 12/1.

Got to be a big improvement in us though after last seasons shambles.

 

The service he will get mate will be unreal, imo. Can see him getting 10+

 

Great thread, thanks. I e taken us +44 on skybet at 16-1, £5 ew

 

Thinking about a small wager on us on W Hill. (That extra point could make all the difference.)

We look to have an improved team and even on a few league places higher that`s a very good handicap.

 

It's sure worth a bet pops get your £1 on it

 

Might manage a florin e/w.

SC SAFC`s shout on Stoke looks good aswell. Steady mid table team, finished 16 points above us and +35 looks quite generous.

 

You don't know what others are going to do but if we get the players in by deadline day and make the most of our reasonable start, I think we'll exceed those very low expectations!
