CITY BETS...............

Mon Jul 24, 2017 10:49 am

Always feel optimistic before the season kicks off. Maybe, just maybe NW has assembled a squad of players willing to go all in for him this season. Can't see us top 2 so if we do go up it would likely be via play-offs. So.......

City to win the play-offs - 20/1 with SKY Bet
City to be promoted - 10/1 with Victor Chandler

Sneaky little tenner on each.

Come on, City!!

What have you bet......?

£5 on Zohore top scorer 28/1 (I think) you can get higher odds but I couldn't be bothered to register with someone else.

I work for a bookies, and always interested to see who people are backing to go up and to go down in each division. Won't see anything until next week, but I expect Villa and Middlesbrough will be the Championship's most popular bets to go up.

Rather than a bet on us promotion, the odds on us to make the top six are tempting for a big bet - 3/1 at the moment.

Also like the look of an each way bet on Zohore to be top scorer - Bet365 pay 1/4 of the odds for four places.

Zahore at 33/1 is decent value...but not sure 3/1 to finish top 6 is any great value...maybe at 4/1-9/2 it might be tempting

9/10 Cardiff to finish in the top half.

£100 to win £90.

I've seen odds like City to finish above Bristol City at 5/6. I will be looking at those type of bets for an accumulator.

4-1 on Bet Victor for top 6

Across the board Bet Victor provide better odds than any other bookmaker. If you're gonna have any sort of bet. register an account with them.

I've gone £60 E/W at 33/1 for us to win the league, paying first to third each way. For comparison, Paddypower got us at 18/1 to win the league. Most others at 25/1

I'll do some more bets before season starts. I particularly like the "finishing in the top half" bet. I'll defo do that one.

What odds did you get and which site?

Zohore top scorer at 28/1.
Looking at some of those with lower odds just shows what good value it is.
