With the bookies:

Cardiff City let’s prove the bookies wrong

Sky bet 25-1 for promotion and 11-4 to be relegated.

25/1. That's worth a tenner.

Just been checking the bookies for relegation odds and most still have us going down.

Ladbrooks got us at 50/1 for promotion.

I got a tenner on @ 70 on B/F to win the league. Ambitious and silly I know.

25/1 is decent odds would change quick with a couple of signings

Still think our target should be mid table after last season and we're in a good place to achieve that with our current squad.

We could have an outside chance of the top six with a striker, central midfielder and centre back. Especially as we'll be able to spend fees on January, whether that will be permanent transfers or loans with fees.

But the bookies rarely predict the season completely right. Last season they were certain West Brom would be top six and that Luton would struggle. They didn't see us being in a relegation battle.

Sky offer 4places e/w to win the league at 80-1. I placed 3 small bets on that to cash out 2 during the season. I also took 20-1 on promotion twice again 1 for a cash out and 1 to run.

I always put a bet on football matches.
This season i got Cardiff City £30 at 14/1 promotion with Coral.
Have a good feeling with a few more players we can give it a go.

For those of you who are less optimistic but fancy a punt, city are 9/4 with Coral for a top 12 finish. Lump on!!

They were 6-1 to finish in the top 6. I think with the signings so far we are top 10 candidates. Another quality signing and we may not be top three or four but will be challenging the top 6

Just had it for 60/1 ladbrokes with a boost , £10 nicker
Pmsl . We can dream

As a starting point - This is the position we should aim to start off with ....Anything else is a bonus

Gotta love the optimism but seriously, have people forgotten just how bad we were last season? A few free transfers and suddenly there’s talk of top half and even top 6 with a couple more free signings or loans? You couldn’t make it up!

I didn’t say about winning the league did I? I was referring to top 6 or top half that some genuinely believe is possible. We can’t score goals against anyone and don’t look any better than last season.

I think we will definitely be in the top half , the goals will come hopefully
