3/1 to get relagated

[kronkie]

There is an ad from bwin offering 3/1 for us to go down in The Sun, being such short odds before a ball has even been kicked is quite worrying.

[unknown182]

I'd be worried if anyone took any notice of what the sun has to say

[tayterz]

Yeah just like the paddy power debacle!

[ruts66]

FFS - just stop this negative shite.

Pulis had to go.

We had to get in a replacement who could work with the mess he left.

Hughes is the best candidate for undoing years of Pulis's profligacy...

[stokiesteve]

I don't give a toss what The Sun or Bookmakers say.

And neither should anyone else.

Take the bet if u fancy it gov.

I won't be.

[stokeweefs]

Benitez was 2/1 to join Stoke not so long ago... Didn't and was never going to happen.
When are you going to realise that odds are made from how many people have put bets on. Its obvious that everyone is tipping us to go down now we are going to appoint Hughes, Hence why the odds are low ffs.

[estrangedsonoffaye]

As I said last week, odds mean absolutely nothing. Paddy Power 2008?

Well said! What are the 3/1 odds based on? We managed to stay up last season; what makes people think we will go down this season? The squad will certainly be improved and hopefully used properly this time. It seems there are lots of people who are desperate for our demise no matter what type of football we play.

Well said rutts

Practically EVERY SODDIN bookmaker is offering the same ...3/1 so yes it is very worrying.

Time to get rid of JONES and Crouchy .

[58Potter]

Does this mean that they are offering brilliant odds on the chances of us staying up ? if so i shall be investing a few quid on that.

[huuuuuth]

They're a hell of a lot longer odds than if TP had have stayed :-D

[drjeffsdiscobarge]

Seriously fellas, if this is the kind of thing that worries you, I would suggest you stock up on tinned food and shit roll, draw them curtains tight and never leave your house again - and for that matter, dont go on the internet, have any newspapers delivered or watch any tv or listen to the wireless while youre holed up at home!

Stop being drama queens, put some man pants on and stick a couple a quid on Everton at 33s.

[Trouserdog]

They think we have a 75% chance of staying up.

Doesn't sound so scary now does it?

[scfcbiancorossi]

yeah I wouldn't read too much into that

[Cyprusdelilah]

About right really, I would say 3/1 on how we finished last season. What's the panic about.

[redwhite]

Why do people read anything into odds? They mean absolutely fuck all.

You cannot possibly predict who will go down, just because there are odds of 3/1 on us going down does not make it in any way more likely so why would you be worried?

[Bick]

It's not worrying. Bookies must build their book including short and long odds to maintain the right profit margin.

Stoke right now is an easy option to narrow the odds. It means fuck all.

And Tone has managed to grab all the best PR... when in fact I still think he'd already decided to let it go...

[cartman123]

We will go down. There's no doubt in my mind about that. 3/1 is quite generous.

Well, for starters, how about;

- square pegs
- ageing pros with little re-sale value
- championship plodders
- crocks
- loan-outs
- regimented, de-coached players
- unneeded squad players

Not an easy recipe unless your one tactic is anti-football...

(question)not a chance in the world stoke would have been as low as 3-1 if pulis was still in charge

The mess that means after near £100 million investment we still need 2 fullbacks, 2 wingers, probably 1 central midfielder and a forward.

The mess that means we will need a couple of months of hard coaching to get the sharpness and touch back into the lads including settling in any new signings.

[Deleted]

Also why are people worrying about odds? Bookies aren't buying the players, training the players and picking the sides are they these days?

Well Bet365 will be buying a few players i'm sure.

[chopperscfc]

We are also, 33/1 top six, 5/2 top ten

[thebrigadier]

I think we have just swapped unattractive football for unattractive relegation football... Cm on Coates think it through, change your mind and save the club from the menace Hughes

... #hughesout 

[ruts66]

Yep, 5/2 for a top 10 finish with BetVictor.

Odds schmodds...
