…that’s a 97% chance.
Why doesn’t it feel that way at the mo?
Like no where near? |  | | |  |

20/1 for us to not get promoted automatically (ie Ipswich defeat and Leeds win as a double). I’ve stuck a tenner on as a slight insurance policy but needless to say I hope to never see that tenner again. [Post edited 1 May 21:28]

20/1 is good, I only got 18s with Skybet...put £20 on. I’ll never be so happy to lose £20 of course but should the unthinkable happen, it’ll pay for a consoling midweek break for the missus and I |  | | |

Took the 18s with SkyBet as well.
If the worst happens, that's the playoffs paid for, courtesy of Sky. | |

You're right actually its a bit less than 20/1. Had the return of close to £200 in my head but that will of course include my stake.
Either way, I WONT be seeing that £10 again. | | | |

Because of the last 15 years of mediocrity and underachieving. We aren’t used to being so close to a major success.
97pc feels about right - Huddersfield have a puncher’s chance that’s it. There’s a reason they are getting relegated. Let’s not big them up to be world beaters! | | | |

Rational logic would suggest we have as good a chance as we’ll ever have, and the bookies, who set the odds with a clear, rational head (rather than the somewhat emotional state we’re all in) have priced accordingly. |  |

Although it's as much about their exposure as their belief in our ability to be promoted. Everyone thinks we're already up so have piled on, odds have changed accordingly. |  | | |

I stuck £60 on Leeds top 2 at 16/1, fortunately I won't miss the £60 and really don't want the grand it pays out.....just a little insurance policy for heartbreak |  |

These were the odds the market set after the game on Tuesday night, it's only really the match markets that move with the money | |

Betfair have 10s for Huddersfield to beat us and 8/15 Leeds win which means a 6 perc chance. So we are 94 percent not 97 percent. If you can get 18/1 you are just in the side of value. | | | |

1/40 is built in profit. They are saying in a hundred situations like this Ipswich will not be in top 2 between 2 to 3 times. But a stake to pay for playoffs if the worse happens, seems like a sensible cover. | | | |

The exchange odds are more accurate than the sportsbook odds as the sportsbook odds have the bookmaker profit baked into them. |  |

Yes, a large over round on a 18/1 and 1/40 in a two event outcome. It's all built into the 1/40 which should be around 1/20. We are in the fortunate position of covering at decent price. Leeds fans have to cover their playoff expenses at 1/40 which can't realistically be a runner. But 20 at 18s is fine for us to pull in 360. If we lose the 20 then it really is a situation of who cares...
Even a 5 for everyone at least gives some bank for playoffs, if the worst happens. Which it won't. | | | |

Too much chat on here - the odds on lufc top 2 have now dropped to 16/1 both on skybet & on b365!
Have used up all my bank of £15 (except a few pence) on the b365 offer.
A return of £240 profit would be no consolation whatsover though, just something to pay for the beers to rehydrate me following the possible ocean of tears that could flow if things don't go as we hope/wish/pray/beg for on bended knees to anyone up there - despite being a life-long atheist. |  |

The lufc top 2 on skybet has been static at 16/1 since a few minutes after the final whistle on Tuesday night (I know as I’ve been checking regularly in my slightly deranged state.
You can get the 18/1 (17.6 to be precise) by doing a double on Leeds and Hudds to win. They should be identical odds really but I guess the bookies are making a little margin on people going straight for the outright lufc top2 bet. |  | | |

Ah, I see, thanks for that info.
Yeah, might have another fiver with skybet on that from my residual bank of about £8 there - it's all money that was sittin about doing nothing anyway, as I've pretty much stopped betting on horses. | |

Just done it myself, felt pretty dirty tbh but will be the tiniest smidge of consolation if it all goes wrong Saturday | | | |
