Odds stacked against us? : Sun Oct 25, 2009 1:33 pm  

This is the way the bookies see it next season

...is it worth a fiver on us to top the league?

Leeds 6/5
St Helens 5/2
Huddersfield 12/1
Wigan 12/1
Warrington 14/1
Bradford 16/1
Hull KR 16/1
Catalans 20/1
Hull 25/1
Wakefield 50/1
Castleford 66/1
Harlequins 100/1
Salford 125/1
Celtic 150/1

or maybe 10/1 odds with 16 points start to win league might be a better bet?

we're 2/1 to finish in the top 8 and 4/11 to finish in bottom six and only12/1 to finish rock bottom!!!

What do the bookies know that we don't, another couple of good signings and maybe we could prove them all wrong!

10/1 with a 16 point start seems a good bet to me. We do need to actually sign some more players if we are to be in with a shout though!

with a 14,000,000+/1 chance of winning the lottery id say your money is better spent there than on Cas winning the SL.......i heard there is more chance of Jade Goody and Stephen Gateley doing a duet with Elvis on the moon, than Cas wining the league but my mum has told me a million times to stop exagerating.

The odds on Warrington are generous.

I wouldn't mind a fiver on us making the top six, but wouldn't put money on us coming top.

i think the bookies know we are not going to make a couple of good signings,wrighty has told us all the way forward we will be doing it on the cheap for the next few years and living in hope that some of the very good young potential that we have got at the club can make the step up and be our next stars but unfortunatly i think the big money buys have well and truley ended for our club,but on a brighter note warrington look well worth a tenner.

i'd have a fiver on cas and wakey finishing top 8 and i'd have a lot more on bradford finishing bottom 4 and they won't get shut of mac, they can't afford it.

The signing of Danny Sculthorpe to replace Sam Burgess is inspirational, shows the Bulls under McNamara have visions of grandeur!

Think I might have a flutter with 16 points start to finish top, that looks like the best bet and would have given me £100 had I placed the same bet last season with a tenner stake!
