2015/16 season weekly betting thread

cabbles

I haven't placed any bets yet. Just thought I'd start this thread so the regular winners like @smiffyboy can show us misguided souls how its done. I've pulled some odds for people though on us to start with. I've used bet365. Please feel free to chip in with your bets. Good luck

Us to win the Champ - 50/1
Promotion - 16/1
Play offs - 11/1 (to finish in top 6)
Relegation - 3/1 (bloody ridiculous IMO)

Top goal scorers

Watt - 50/1
Vetokele - 66/1

Haha - bloody hell. If only I were any good at it.....

Football's become a minefield to call these days, but I'm looking forward to that first Acca next weekend.

According to this, we are second favourites for the drop. I am reasonably confident that we can muster up a top half finish - please can someone clever explain the best bet to place? Must be something available on spreadbetting markets or Betfair.

I'm not a figures man Largo so not entirely familiar with the likes of spread betting or Betfair, never really looked into it. I just couldn't believe we were 3/1 for relegation. We were comfortable mid table finishers last season. How/where do they get 3/1 from?

Nicholas

22/1 to get promoted with Skybet
You can get 80/1 on Watt at quite a few of the online bookamkers.

My bets for the leagues this season will probably be.

Middlesbrough
Wigan
Leyton Orient

730/1

Great thread @cabbles let's hope we all have a profitable season

Bet365

Season winner handicap betting

Charlton +23pts 18/1 fancy £20 on this

Big_Bob

I do tenner on us winning the champ and 20 for promotion every year
Had a fair wager on Blackburn to go down too

Nicholas

Agree on Blackburn, also think Bolton and Huddersfield will struggle this season.

cafcnick1992

I genuinely think this is the Blades year. Nigel Adkins will do the biz for them.

So i'd go for

Chelsea, Middlesbrough, Sheffield United, Portsmouth

philcafc

Will do the Handicap bet as well

When I checked the other day Coral were offering us with a 25 point start. All teams at 18/1. I think you can do win or e/w 1/4 odds first 4.

Burnley
Derby
Wolves
Sheffield Wednesday
Sheffield utd

£10 5 fold £694

Where up and running, early bird catches the worm

IdleHans

Paddy power are repeating their prem top scorer bet of last year: if you bet £20 upwards, they will give you a £2 free bet for every goal your player scores. I have gone for Costa at 11/2, so if he scores just 10 goals I break even, sort of. Aguero 3/1, Rooney 11/1 etc

cafcsinger

We're 66/1 to win our first 3 games... to good to be true?

smiffyboy

SPL and Scottish cup kicks off today

Inverness
Ayr

cafcpolo

Does anyone know if you can do a goliath bet online anywhere? Don't seem to get the option too on those I've checked.
