Grrr. I backed Middlesbrough to win and Downing to score 1st E/W. Downing curls a free-kick on to the post. :evil:

BR2 At the moent on betfair we are 6.8 to be relegated.
We are 2.12 to win tomorrow's game.
There is probably some mileage in backing both to the right stakes,i.e more on the win bet.
If Reading win tomorrow there is a profit plus an ongoing free bet on relegation.
If we don't win tomorrow or draw the relegation odds will shorten so you could lay-off the relegation bet and make a profit.
Nothing to do with what you think might happen,just an opportunity to make a few bob.


FWIW we are now 4.2,much the same as Sunderland and Wigan.
Birmingham are 2.7.
If Fulham beat Villa in a moment expect the other prices to shorten otherwise there should be little change amongst us and the rest.
If I were a neutral I would regard Reading as a value bet for relegation.


We are now down to 3.5. :cry:

Here's how you win £3000. no risk.

Put £1000000 on Derby relegation @ 1/1000. Put £1000 on Reading relegation @ 3/1. (Corals have these odds).

You will get your £1000 back off the Derby bet, the rest is money for nothing.

:lol:

With that same £1million which is so easy for us to come up with you would get about £15000 interest (albeit taxable) at no risk with a bank or building society account over the next 3 months.
The £1000 with Corals is a decent value bet with Betfair only quoting the equivalent of 2.8/1 and with such a small market you would have to take a lower price for most of your bet and probably wouldn't be able to get the full amount on.
Sad that relegation bets are being discussed when last year we were discussing bets about getting into Europe (if only we had known that the club weren't trying). :cry:

Until Birmingham, Wigan and Fulham are confirmed to have played ineligible players and have enough points deducted to let Derby survive. :lol:

Tomorrow is the day, and I apologise to the people of HNA? over misleading you over the price of Egypt, I got 12's and not 10's. Going to be tricky game.
