Promotion Odds

[devonFRATTONiser]

Having been pre-season favourites for promotion, the performance against Oxford seems to have rattled the bookies [skybet] who now have us as 3rd favourites (13/2 to win the league and 11/8 for promotion)

Fleetwood are now favourites (5/1 - 10/11) with Chesterfield at 6/1 and 11/10.

Latest prices for Pompey are now:

9/1 to win the league [4th behind Chesterfield, Fleetwood and Oxford]

2/1 for promotion

40/1 for relegation.

 

[Mark Bailey]

I think you should concentrate on the relegation odds

 

[devonFRATTONiser]

After yesterday's 2-2 draw at Cheltenham, Pompey's odds are now:

To win the league 14/1
Promotion 5/2
Top 7 finish 5/6
Relegation 33/1

 

[PompeyLapras]

I'd say it was more likely a million to one to win the league, and 2 to 1 for relegation.

Mark Bailey - man of few words........................................most of which are irrelevant

I really think the pundits predictions for us this season raised expectations too high.

 

[Wooperts_duck]

Let's be honest- we may be average to poor in our league at the moment. However, there are some absolutely shockingly bad teams in our league (Accrington and Hartlepool, among others) so we will stay up- it's just an absolute given!

Absolutely spot on Stewie

James Beattie is taking Accrington in the right direction - he must be very proud of himself.

It's certainly a shame for the ex-Everton striker to be having such a hard time.

Wow Pie, it seems to have slipped your mind that Beattie also used to play for Southampton F.C. - easy mistake to make, I suppose......

 

[Wooperts_duck]

Wooperts- I think in Pie's mind, Beattie's only the former Southampton FC striker when he's doing well (like fluking late equalisers against us).

When he's doing badly .. it's back to being the ex-Everton man!

Oh, I get you now, Stewie - Pie has "selective memory" problems

 

[3rd eye]

Actually - I thought Pie's comment was quite funny!

 

[3rd eye]

So do Wooperts and I!

I knew that

After the win at Burton we are now:


To win the league 10/1 [from14/1]
Promotion 5/2 [unchanged]
Top 7 finish [not listed] - was 5/6
Relegation 40/1 [from 33/1]

 

[PompeyLapras]

Interestingly, on my game as manager of the mighty Forest Green Rovers on football manager handheld, Portsmouth have just been relegated to the Conference. That's not particularly reassuring

Though Southampton were relegated from the Premier League last season

 

[PompeyLapras]

Metro's rubbish, it's all about the Evening Standard

 

[devonFRATTONiser]

Our odds after the Fletwood defeat:

To win the league 14/1 from 10/1
Promotion 11/4 from 5/2
Top 7 finish 1/2 - was 5/6 before the Burton game
Relegation 33/1 from 40/1

I am finding all this rather depressing but what really gets my goat is how well the pony fiddlers are doing

You know you are secretly pleased SB3.

Or to put it another way, it's more important to you that your rivals fail than that your own team succeeds.
