SaintBobby Posted 6 December, 2009 Share Posted 6 December, 2009 Am I only one who thinks this is close to being free money? http://www.oddschecker.com/football/english/league-one/coca-cola-league-1/top-goalscorer Rickie Lambert is 2/1 to end the season as L1's top goalscorer. This means if you think Rickie's chances are better than 33% of ending as League One's top scorer, then this is a good bet. I think he is presently topping the charts with a two goal buffer. I'd put his chances at about 50%+. Get your money down fast. By the time I've finished this post, I may already have swung the odds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know a lot of people are saying ..what a lot of money we paid for Lambert (LOL) it may be a lot for L1 - but we've had a dozen or more players in the past 15 years who cost more. However, I'm sure Bristol rovers thought they got a good deal, but looking at their present position - did they. Admitedly they are in a ply-off spot, but out "true" results form is equal to theirs (except for the -10) and Lambert has scored more than their best two players together. L1 Scorer tables list ; Hughes and Kuffour on 6 each.. whilst Lambert has 15.. and even Lallana has 9 already. As we found out several times before; getting a good transfer fee doesn't mean you can get a good replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's now at close to evens http://www.oddschecker.com/football/english/league-one/coca-cola-league-1/top-goalscorer Commiserations to those who didn't follow my tip. So I was correct it was basically free money as you can now hedge your bets, thereby 100% guaranteeing a return of 1/6 of your initial stake. Alternatively, you could keep your money on Rickie and stand to treble your money if he finishes as top scorer (a prospect that the betting markets rate as 50-50) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
