Jimmy H Posted June 13, 2017 Report Share Posted June 13, 2017 Anyone know of any bookies giving odds for us to win the league next season yet? All of the main online/high street bookies aren't showing anything for the Scottish leagues below the Prem yet. i would imagine Dundee Utd will be favourites, with another couple of teams ahead of us in the betting, wanted to lump on us soon as the odds came out, Im guessing we will be around the 8/1 to 10/1 mark.

DougJamie Posted June 13, 2017 Report Share Posted June 13, 2017 Who are the favourites for the Scottish Prem? Geez its Celtic at 1/7 that's worth a grand I reckon we are fourth fav and I would suggest 15-1 would be closer. 1.United 2. Caley 3. Falkirk 4 Us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bookies don't stay rich by ignoring facts and looking deeper into things. I think they will be going on the fact we had a great end to the season and have continuity of players. That should cut the odds until they see who's betting on whom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a fair point, but all of them don't always get it right. Theres so many to choose from these days, I'll guarantee a few will base it on last seasons league positions, so I'll be keeping a look out for the best odds available and opening an account ( if I've not got one with that particular bookie already) and lumping on straight away before they cut the odds.

Should be great odds as we were equal 9th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul torfason Posted June 13, 2017 Report Share Posted June 13, 2017 a reckon we will be 12/15,s,probably 5th favourite's,a think Caley in for a big shock and be lucky to stay in top half of table Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shull Posted June 13, 2017 Report Share Posted June 13, 2017 Our odds will be at least 25/1 when Ross becomes Aberdeen Boss in the next few weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alansaint Posted June 13, 2017 Report Share Posted June 13, 2017 Too big a step for Aberdeen to gamble on Ross. With their new backer some cash will be getting spent in Aberdeen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, and the only real facts are that we finished joint 9th last year. Whether we've built a strong team in pre-season is only a matter of opinion.

I'd agree with this - for the last nine games, we were top of the form table with 18 points - Morton got 4. We'll be fourth favourites at about 7 or 8-1 behind United, Caley and Falkirk, with Dunfermline and QOS not far behind us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going by that logic, if another team had finished on the same points as Hibs then no-one would have won the league, they would both have finished joint second. Correct, next?

I don't know about that but I certainly think they'll look at trends and the fact we have kept most of the players who gave us that great run. We are in alongside or ahead of most of our rivals in collecting our pool of players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's also a sign that this bookie see's us as a major contender. Time will tell. PS You'll get better odds on Poz making a post without TRYING to be funny.
