Why are Pompey one of the favs to go up. They have just come up from years in league 2 and have hardly signed anyone yet? Do they have new owners or something

Apart from last season, in the previous six seasons a promoted team from league two has finished in the top 6 of league 1. Additionally, they have arguably the most capable manager in the league, Kenny Jackett, and probably are now the biggest team in this division.
I can't see Portsmouth going up at all. Look at Luton in league 2 for an example why, finally clawed out of the conference and expected to walk league 2 only to hit reality and despite some decent finishes never got up.
When selecting you divisional winner - consider backing them with an equal stake each week in their matches instead.
You would be surprised at the difference in profit amount, should you be correct.
The figures for Chelsea and Newcastle last season show returns far greater than a simple outright bet on them to win their divisions.
I will be doing this on Pompey for the coming season, who are about 3/1 to win L1.
and the significant increase in losses should you get it badly wrong.
Isn't the idea to bet 1/46th or 1/38th each week of your intended stake on them winning the league? So if you'd been intended to put £38 on Man U winning the Premiership, you bet £1 each week on them winning? If instead the OP means put £38 each week on a win bet, then yes, the potential losses are rather large.
Bury seemed to have recruited fairly well, 9/1 or so about them going up may be a bet. Blackburn look really strong though, 5/1 for them to win the league may be a right steal come the season end.
