I have a gut feeling our chances of topping this mini league are a little bit better than 3%, but at 33's, you don't have to lay out a huge amount to find out!
I think my bet on promotion at 150/1 a couple of weeks ago was better. That bet could come up without our having to finish highest or even second highest of the Yorkshire clubs. Best odds on promotion now are 80/1. Most bookies offer significantly less.
