To be fair I remember us being the same odds a couple of years ago when we got the promotion.

You see any value?
 
They will be, but no one will have had any bets antepost bets yet due to the WC. Start to see prices changing soon, plus when teams start buying quality players as well.
 
Stoke, Boro and WBA would be my choices at the minute.

Surprised money going on Villa, or have they had some better fortune?

Have a feeling that Brum will do a lot better. Think Leeds and Forest will relatively overspend and underachieve.

Derby to do next to **** all.

Leeds have made a lot of noise about spending big, while not actually spending anything at all yet.
 
Are they odds not determined by the punters who bet?

Stoke 6/4? What do Bet365 know? Anybody would think there is a connection. There is, the Coates family.

The odds right now are probably set by the volume of bets historically placed by supporters of each club. As a well publicised example, the few bets on Leicester to win the title did not really shorten the odds before the season began. A few hundred bets would cause a shift.
 
Whoever goes up, the bookies will still live in nice houses, drive nice cars and go on nice holidays.

How can people even think about throwing money away while the windows still open?

And the expert punters will put their bicycle clips on ready to pedal home.

He is most definitely not an expert punter, but Google Mike Cruikshank. In the past you could only back a horse to win with a bookie. The internet has brought about exchanges, Betfair is one, where you can act as bookmaker and lay an event. Matched betting. Not punting, taking advantage of the value when the bookmakers back price is greater than the lay price.
 
Forest are signing players that could potentially see them in and around the top 6. Grabban is an excellent signing for them.

Looking at those odds, does it imply one of City or Ipswich are likely to be relegated with Bolton & Rottenham ?
