What are the odds..?

edited February 2009 in General Charlton
There are a number of phrases being bandied around like, "Charlton are odds-on to get relegated"; "you'd get long odds on us staying up now", etc. But, does anyone know what prices are being offered on Charlton either being relegated or staying up?

And, has anyone here backed their assertions with a punt?

I quite fancy our chances, following two home wins, with a couple of clean sheets; the re-jigging of the team; ZZ's impending return; positive vibes coming from Mark Kinsella at the Bromley meeting; the dreadful form of some of our rivals; Dickson playing; Bailey, Spring and Racon looking sharp; Soares extending his loan; 2 fit centre backs; etc.

    you can back us to go down at 4-11 with bet 365 (i've been backing us to go down since the home defeat v coventry... 11-8 then and i've backed us to go down at 4-11 as well)
    or you can lay us on betfair at 1.3 which is 10-3 on backing us to stay up.... there's a bit of an arb there

    So, three-and-a-bit to one against us making up just 8 or 9 points in 14 games? I think I might have some of that!

    i think chirpy's referring to curbs last game as manager at the valley and yes i did (not with hindsight) foresee a bit of a rocky time ahead for us when sir alan departed but not quite this bad!!
    still let's all lower our expectations and if we stay up we can get really excited this year or next

    Thank god it's only 8 or 9 points then, there was me getting worried we were a long way short of safety!

    I am not saying it's easy. But, if we do it, I'd like also to be picking up some dough. Example: at the start of the year, Doncaster were in the relegation zone, nine points behind Plymouth. Now, Doncaster are 15th, five points ahead of them.

    It's not easy; it's a big task; but the reward is large. I, for one, will be getting behind Charlton and watching us climb to safety!

    Hi everyone, new poster!

    2/1 to avoid relegation on 365

    Thought it may have been greater odds than that tbh

    I did the same thing before our first season in the Premiership. Fantastic start but didn't get out then for a profit and was left sweating for the rest of the season. Fortunately we finished with exactly the number of points I bought at.
