some decent odds available at the moment on betfair.
In The Handicap section for division one you can get West Brom (+6pts) to win the league at 34/1. I know they've dipped a bit lately but their run in aint too bad...to all intents and purposes you're getting 34 to one on them to finish top two...looks generous to me that does.

How does that work then? West Brom have to win the league by 6 points over Norwich (or team that finishes second).
Any other good tips out there young man? I need to recoup the fiver I foolishly bet on Jordan to win Celebrity.

nope, you add 6 pts to whatever total West Brom finish on, and if that puts them top of the league you win the bet. Goal difference doesn't count, dead heat rules apply.
It's definitely worth a tenner that is, dont ask me to put it on for you though, my account is empty.

Surely you don't think Stoke will finish 26 points behind Albion?

I'm not sure what you mean Slangking? The handicap is only applied to the team you bet on isn't it? ??? Edit: actually the more I think about it, the more is seems like you're right. Fucksticks. I'm glad my account was empty now. Put £20 on it Stuttgart  |

A handicap is given for each team (Stoke's is +32 Pts).
So if all the handicaps are added at the end of the season...West Brom (with their +6pts) would have to finish 26 points clear to be above stoke. And all the other handicaps would have to be taken into account.
It does say after the "stated Handicap" (singular) is added on the website, but I still think Slangking is right, those odds were a bit too good to be true.

OK, got ya.
So you really thought that betfair were offering 34/1 that West Brom would finish within 6 points of 1st position or higher?! ;D
What are betfair's odds for West Brom to come top at the moment?

Pricey...  West Brom are about 7/2 to win it btw. |

Well why would they have it at 34/1 for them to come within 6 points or less of top spot if the odds for top spot with no handicap are 7/2?!
(I like the smiley Dom)

Hang on a fucking minute, that message has changed! He didn't say he'd lost his job he said don't rub it in with a smiley face I think! He edited it 14 minutes after I replied!
I certainly wouldn't have replied like that if I'd have known he'd lost his job.
You alright Dom?
