so we're now 4/1 to be relegated (8/1 taking advantage of free bet)

    4/1 at bet365 with a £25 matching bet for opening an account. tempting to have a go. Wouldn't mind losing £25 if we stayed up. If we went down at least i'd have £200 towards next seasons ST.

    BTW Norwich are 1/7, so asuming the bookies have called it correctly, are 28 more times likely than us to be relegated - why doesn't it feel like that ?

    Yep, the bookies have surely got that way wrong

    because Plymouth will be favourites to beat us and Norwich will be favourites to beat Charlton. True the chances of both results happening lessens the odds but nevertheless.

    They've pretty much just taken the odds the'yre giving on the individual matches, combined them and reduced the odds in their(bet 365's) favour. The 4/1 looks like a bad bet to me.

    Just having a quick look, havent done the maths yet but if your free bet is valid for accumalators you'd b better off putting the $25 on a plymouth and norwich double. Yeah that works out as 4.53/1.

    I am right in thinking that is the only way we can go down?
