Anyone brave enough ... 02:58 - Jan 15 with 748 views

To take the 13/8 about us winning the title or the 4/7 (Betfair) about going up?

Argyle 9/2 to win the league looks the bet for me.

It does show that the bookies are still very much pro Ipswich promotion compared to the somewhat reactionary fanbase.

Well the bookies (or the punters whose bets form their markets) were wrong yesterday. We were not just odds on but pretty short odds on (and the shortest price of ANY team in the league playing yesterday), and we didn't win.

So I'm not sure that citing bookies' odds is the best evidence for criticising the views of the fanbase.

Hopefully we win the league and go up easily. But right now we're in 3rd place, fully 4 points off second, and the bookies odds look stupidly skinny to me.
