Season long bets/accumulators (2017/18)

Go on then...

Tottenham 9/1 for the league is serious value. Of course at this stage of the summer, you're taking a gamble on them keeping their squad intact as well but I can't see Leavy letting too many, if any, players leave.

huge price on spurs no doubt about that

they are 1.88 for top four on bfair which looks like free money to me assuming nobody leaves which I doubt will be the case whereas if they don't win something this upcoming season things will change surely

I'm not willing to wait 9 months on a 1.88 winner though (bookies best at 1.75)
It annoys me a little that nobody are doing top three on it, would love to be getting 7/4+ on spurs for that one

Home games at Wembley would be a worry, reckon that's why they are 9/1

You can do e/w at 9/1, top 3 at 1/5th the odds

burnley to be relegated at 7/5 is something that would be near a cert esp if dyche leaves (no better than evens then I reckon) and if he does I'll be taking them to finish bottom also at 6/1


my first bet for the season will be the double of burnley relegation and spurs top four at 4.15 with pp

I think this factor is being overrated slightly. The European games they've played there were in unfamiliar surroundings but now they will have a chance to truly make Wembley their home. Of course there may be a few shaky results at the start of the season and Chelsea will not be the least bit intimidated going there for Spurs first 'home' game but they will settle and playing in front of 80000 Spurs fans will not be something a lot of teams look forward too.

Leicester to finish in the bottom half at evens is printing money, I don't see any reason why they would not be in a relegation dogfight again this season.

I'm hanging on for the Spurs/Kane TGS double...

Portugal Confed cup
Argentina WC

Winners double @ 35

Sampaoli needs to be backed @10 with this Argentina squad where for quite a few it will be the last chance.

Portugal only have to win the confed cup with a German B team and a Chili team that doesnt have Sampaoli anymore as the only serious competition.

Might be better odds elsewhere, just thought of this bet when.... well ..doesnt matter when i thought this up and placed it with bet365

Were they in a relegation dogfight this season? Or last season?

Edit- as in they haven't been in a relegation dog fight for two seasons now. Not saying it's a bad bet bet but to say it's printing money is ludicrous. They still have some decent players and some cash to buy in more.

They were 18th in the table in February, had Ranieri stayed they were gone. Shakespeare did a great job of rejuvenating the team but it often can happen that that doesn't carry through too the beginning of the next season.

The way I would view it is that the top half of the table will be made up of the obvious big six plus probably Everton and Southampton. That leaves just two places and I wouldn't consider Leicester a banker for either.

Betfair are doing top 3, Spurs are even money. I took the 1.8 on top 4 tho. not worth the risk for me

you're right, evens is poor value compared to 1.8

Looking forward to the Super Cup in August, United are 4/1 at the moment which I think is serious value. I don't think they will sign Ronaldo but given their resources I think they will significantly strengthen and in a once off game that's essentially a glorified pre season friendly I see no reason why they couldn't turn over Madrid.

Does an each-way bet on Mexico @9/1 (1/3 odds for 2nd) in the Confederations Cup count?

That's a hell of a difference from saying Leicester to finish in the bottom half is printing money. They still have more resources and better individual places than most of the teams in the league. I think it's a fair price really, not much value in it either way. But to say it's printing money is a bit ludicrous.

Will wait a couple of days and then ask bet365 to settle this one.
Really dont feel like seeing this bet in my unsettled bets for a year.

League 2 Promotion

Mansfield at 1/1 to win promotion
Coventry 2/1 to win promotion

4 promotion spots up for grabs

rekluse

Pretty dead in here. I'm waiting for the post preview but think I'm going for - Celtic and Bayern O/R , Napoli top 4, Stoke bottom half finish , Villa top 6, Blackburn top 6, Mansfield top 7 pays around 8/1 will have a decent bet on this. Looks relatively 'safe' but there is always one to dog ya.

Spurs to finish outside top 4-evens
Stoke relegated 6/1

Was just about to post that I didn't really understand the Spurs love in here, they have finished Top 4 once ever, moving to a new stadium, serial bottlers, sold their right back and an injury to either Kane or Alli and they are screwed.

Man utd and Arsenal will be stronger that last season as well.

West Ham 11/8 to finish Top half is my bet of the season.

Wamble

Winner/Top goalscorer double: Man City/H Kane 11/1 pp (I think the goals will be shared out amongst City/Utd/Chel/Liv/Ars attacking players more so than Spurs. Should be a close one, but City to lift the trophy.

Top 4 exact order: Man C/Spurs/Chel/Liv 200/1 skybet

Stoke, Swansea, Huddersfield all to be relegated 100/1 skybet


Championship Winner: Middlesborough 8/1 BWIN (In Gary we trust)

what about morata? might need some time to adjust but he could also hit the ground running.

I like chelsea/kane at 18s along with chelsea/morata at 22s

man city have a great team on paper so it might take them some time to gel
