Saints "certain to make play offs"

Their assessment seems reasonable for us. Whether Keane can do a Sunderland at Ipswich is far more doubtful given that he seems to have been a bit of a damp squib earlier on and didn't exactly galvanise them into action.

 

If we can replicate the form of the past ten or so matches over the rest of the season, we should manage it and I think that they're right that if we get into the play-offs, we'd be the favourites to win it. They haven't even mentioned the probability that if we're mid table by the New Year that we would strengthen in January.

I had a patent (3 selections , 7 bets ) before the season started on Pompey to be bottom at Christmas (looking good . I may even lay some of it off this Saturday ), Saints to be promoted (looking a better bet each week that passes) and ..... Ipswich to win the Championship :-( :-(

 

Oh well. 2 out of 3 ain't bad and maybe Keano can inspire a Sunderland style charge out of his team!!

When we signed David Connolly we were 20-1 to get promoted so I stuck £10 on. We've only been beaten by Brighton since and the odds have been slashed drastically! I definitely got the best odds at the time and since.

 

Lucky f*cker. I kept meaning to put several bets on near the start of the season (us to get promoted, Pompey relegated were the main two) but never got round to it.

Probably not worth it now.

Quite tempted to put a bet on for this game (saints to win of course) but know nothing about betting :confused:

 

I get the whole on the right is what you bet, left is what you win (plus your original money) but confused as to why some bets are labelled as 10/1 whereas another may be labelled 20/2 (might be bad example) why arent all odds marked up as /1 when the two are technically the same??

 

excuse my noobness :D

10/1 and 20/2 are exactly the same, that's just basic fractions.

 

You get odds like 13/2 rather than having to do 6.5/1, sounds to me like you should just use decimal odds if you're betting online.

Cheers, I knew the were both the same btw :D just didnt make sense why a lot were list as /1 and others not ;)

 

wanted to bet 1-2 final scoe and the odds on betfair are 18/1 and on bet365 its 7/2

 

Based on your explanation its purely to get around having 3.5/1 ;) I kind of assumed that but assumption is the mother of all f*** ups as they say...

Said since the summer that the playoffs is/should/will be realistic and should be the minimum target.

 

glad the rest on here now accept this and the bookies are also starting to back us too.

 

only realistic following the change of form correctly predicted in my "season start here" thread!;)

once the players had chance to actually arrive and Pardew wasn't working on his own

 

well the fact remains - only a handful on here predicted we would be succesful and make playoffs this season we had to endure alot of stick for being so positive but we are now having the last laugh and its very satisfying.
