We are 1/2 favs against Scum.
That’s the shortest either team has been for a derby at any point in the last 20 matches. (I have no knowledge of prices before that).
Two years ago we were 4/6 for the home game and 6/4 for the game at their place. In 2019 when we’d lost 13 of our previous 15 away matches before going to Carrow Road, and the whole away end knowing we’d be going down and them up, they were 8/15 that day. So we are even shorter than Scum were in those circumstances.
1/2 for Sunday (and getting shorter by the day) is a fair indication the good guys see it as a home banker. I don’t price up our footy odds but was asked by opinion last week and said we’d be around 8/15 so near enough spot on.
Sunday is as big a chance as we will have to beat them and is the day the ‘streak’ ends. [Post edited 1 Oct 23:53]

This will turn into a thread on backing Norwich so 'either way, I win'.
I have zero respect for those people... |  |

It’s all a bit soft isn’t it. And the thought of it being 0-0 in the 95th minute, us throwing everyone forward to win it and getting done on the break and that Norwich backed stood there at the ground in the back of their mind thinking ‘well I’ll get a decent payout if they score here’ makes me feel sick. | |

It always make me laugh. People saying they will have £20 on. Great, is £100 profit going to make it worth it? Weirdos. | |

Pfffft.
I’ve done it many times over the years. Made a decent few quid out of that little hustle. |  |

Guilty as charged here. I bet against Ipswich most games as 'insurance'. Doubled the usual amount for Nodge.
The only time this has pricked my conscience was in the playoff semi a their place. Actually put £20 on them but with both teams to score so was a nice little earner. Still would have been happier with the win though. |  |

Nice little earner? That must have been 2/1 max. So you made £40ish? Did that really help?
Bizarre way to be a fan IMO. It's a game of emotion. To hedge it for a small amount of money? Madness. Absolute madness. | |

Quite. If anything it makes it worse. It just ramps up expectations. As much as I’d like to be there, I think I’ll be quite happy watching this one from behind my sofa 🙈 |  |

I sort of expected someone to say something like this.
Obviously shocks do happen. And the outsider wins. But the point is if they played that match last night between city and Monaco 7 times, city would win the other 6 times. Last night wasn’t their night but that doesn’t mean the price and likelihood of winning was incorrect.
As is us for Sunday. We are expected to win as a 1/2 fav would do on 67% of the time | |

This weeks midweek games highlight the inconsistencies in this seasons Championship. Twelve games were draws and the other four away wins .
Can't remember that happening before.

Thank you Rommy. Paused input to answer door and obviously did check where I had got to. Put it down to old age. [Post edited 2 Oct 19:39]

If i bet against Town its only ever with the knowledge that anything i back generally goes down the pan spectacularly! |  | | |

Quite right as well! Look at our squad compared to theirs. On home turf. Home win the only acceptable outcome. | | | |

Look i haven't seen Town beat Norwich at home in person since 1998, I dont care what the odds say these games are never straightforward | | | |

I wonder if anyone will tell the bookies that their away record this season is W2 D2 L0.
I would say a draw is the most likely outcome. Sadly. Probably after we have completely battered them for 90 minutes, only taken one chance and Jonathan Rowe scores with his backside after the linesman fails to notice he was a yard offside when the pass was made. |  |

A home win is absolutely ‘the most likely outcome’. There’s no doubt about that from an odds compiling perspective. | |

They’re worse than Sheff Utd right now!
I can only see an easy victory.
I’m going 4-0. |  |

If he won't, I expect Grant Holt or that Ronald MacDonald lookalike will! | |

Can't remember what the return was but for context, aside from the above I'm not really a gambler and generally have a low risk tolerance, so any win better than evens feels like a 'nice little earner' to me! | |

I'm the same, really.
I popped a modest sum on Norwich/Draw this morning the returns from which, if Town don't win, will pay for my expenditure on the day, and will give me a momentary smile before I just get on with my life. | |
