    Also, why all the silly odds for the team to be promoted through the playoffs? Surely they should all be 3/1??? Bookies take the mickey with the short odds they give.

    RE: Because Norwich haven't played yet!

    Norwich not having played yet doesn't alter the fact that the four teams I mentioned are mathematically safe

    They're Betfair odds, not bookies odds. People are still offering big prices (although with no value whatsoever) on teams that are safe in the hope that someone will be daft enough to take them.

    The odds from the bookies don't include these teams.

    Ah - I see

    Didn't know who Betfair was. Just thought they were another bookie.
