Betting odds on the playoffs.

Thu Jul 23, 2020 2:11 pm

The bookies are reckoning on a all London final,the odds on promotion are.

Brentford 6-4
Fulham 5-2
Cardiff 9-2
Swansea 9-2

Personally if I was forced to have a bet at those odds I would bet on Fulham. They seem to know how to beat us and I think Brentford have blow up a bit. Could see them losing to Swansea. I think if we got to the final we might well win it but we will struggle to get past Fulham.

It's tight but nothing to be afraid of.

In the 9 games since lockdown the stats are as follows:

Fulham 12 goals for, 10 against, 17 points
City 16 goals for, 6 against, 19 points

Stop Mitrovic and Fulham will find it really tough.

Both semi finals are very tough to call, and so will the final.

Betting odds make sense in terms of league positions.

In the play offs, if you stay solid and get a bit of luck then there's a great chance.

I wouldn't like to make a prediction on who will win them.

I put £20 on the Jacks yesterday at 12-1 to make the play offs on the basis that if they did and we missed out at least it would give me the satisfaction of knowing the Jacks will have paid for my season ticket. Cant believe that I won £240 and we are still in it. Only problem is if they win the play offs.

In my opinion those odds are wrong.

My odds would be:-

Fulham 6/4
Brentford 3/1
Us 4/1
Jacks 6/1

I like to think of myself as a decent gambler and my gut feeling is that Brentford are shot as they just don’t have enough experience to cope with the pressure

Unfortunately Fulham have all the credentials to win 2 “cup finals”
