What you saying ?
£30 to win the league is wasted whereas it would go some way to paying a chunk of a season ticket if the worst was to happen!I prefer the 325/1 to win the league odds. I put 30 on it.
I can’t get any context on these odds without seeing and comparing the odds on all other clubs. Are these odds good, bad or average?What you saying ?
Won a couple of hundred when Italy won the euros (I put the bet on before the comp started..), so I put a bit of the winnings on outrageous bets just in-case.£30 to win the league is wasted whereas it would go some way to paying a chunk of a season ticket if the worst was to happen!
Brentford 11/10I can’t get any context on these odds without seeing and comparing the odds on all other clubs. Are these odds good, bad or average?
Agreed.Our known issues haven't been addressed as yet so about right I'd say.
You’re right, they don’t often get it badly wrong and they have 7 teams shorter than us suggesting they don’t think we’ll be relegated.Bookies don't often get it madly wrong. They see us having a difficult season, and they may be right. I would be happier with a couple if signings.
I still think with our forward options that we will be OK.
Brentford are shorter too are they not?Burnley 5/2
Palace 7/4
Newcastle 11/4
Norwich 5/6
Southampton 4/1
Watford 1/1
have shorter odds
selected others:
Villa 7/1
Leeds 9/1
Spurs 150/1
All bookies have is "crowd wisdom", if a few naysayers on here put a couple of quid on then we could shorten further, does that mean we are more likely to be relegated? For me the odds look fair, the new coach is a wild card, the squad will be too good to go down if the tactics are right, if Lage is too ambitious we might get in a mess. Nuno tried 4231 and went 532 when it started to look slightly worrying. Having said that if Lage struggles then we'll probably cut our losses. Nobody outside the top 7 or 8 can rule out relegation entirely.Bookies don't often get it madly wrong. They see us having a difficult season, and they may be right.

That's how I see it as well, at least with a chance of some more exciting footballYou’re right, they don’t often get it badly wrong and they have 7 teams shorter than us suggesting they don’t think we’ll be relegated.
The odds suggest they expect nothing from us, no major risk of going down, no expectation of challenging for top half or even Europe. So no worry, just nothing exciting either. Let’s see what happens.
I’ve done exactly the same, won big (for me) on the Euro’s and spent some and the rest gone on outlandish bets for next season!Won a couple of hundred when Italy won the euros (I put the bet on before the comp started..), so I put a bit of the winnings on outrageous bets just in-case.

, hopefully we get a couple of strong additions in.
7 rated below us so that would put us 13th. Unless we pull out a couple of surprises in the transfer market I think that is a pretty fair assessment of where we are - standing still.Brentford 11/10

Indeed, we’ll need to make a couple more quality signings before I’m closer to being half-full than I am half-empty though. Hopefully our performances in the first few games will wash away the memories of the absolute dross we came up with last season.It’s very easy to make an argument for us qualifying for Europe. Change of manager, potential squad overhaul, change of system etc. At the moment it’s hard to say because the window is still open.
Depends on your perspective really. I'm a glass half full kinda guy.
But everyone loves Bielsa and Brian Potter.Leeds and Brighton are too long IMO

That is the elephant in the room when it comes to our future prospects.Indeed, we’ll need to make a couple more quality signings before I’m closer to being half-full than I am half-empty though.

With seven teams with shorter odds, they very much see us as mid-table.Bookies don't often get it madly wrong. They see us having a difficult season, and they may be right. I would be happier with a couple if signings.

I hope that they are wrong. I wouldn't be surprised if they are right. I haven't met one serious, but non-Wolves, football supporter who doesn't think that our management moves were at best risky and at worst downright insane.Few mates of mine who arent Wolves fans think we may struggle this season. Lets hope we prove them and the bookies wrong. Need some strong additions still of course.
Hopefully the bookies are better than Mystic Meg. Did she actually get anything correct?So the bookies have us finishing around the same place as last season,hardly Mystic Meg is it ?
