    I'm not a betting man at all (thank goodness) but I recon that if you go to the bookies at those odds and put £10 on EVERY individual (each), team to get promoted the odds are that you are more likely to make a profit than a loss.

    It would cost £240. Any team coming in at 24-1 would pay returns - and there are 3!!!.

    Well you wouldn't bet on Wolves OR Cardiff so only £220 to get back!
    QPR Millwall Barnsley Brentford Reading Burton Birmingham Sunderland Bolton can be eliminated so that is just £130 to get back **

    ** If later in the season, played 32 games or so, they suddenly get to within 15 points of the team at the top then have a bet on them.
    you are relying on 7 teams not winning it to make a profit ! Derby or Hull most likely outsiders?
