Bookies odds are about how much money is placed not where they think we'll finish.
The opening prices are based on where they think teams will finish. The odds are then changed to reflect the amount of money being placed, but also on other knowledge such as change of club owners, signings, gossip etc. so they can change the odds before there is an avalanche of money.
My son was playing as Charlton on FIFA 11 over the weekend and it brought it home to me how different a team we will be from the one that started last season. WIth new signings to come - it is certainly going to be very interesting to see how it comes together. I was really looking forward to the Reading friendly for just this reason and hope the club can get something decent sorted for that date.
Just put £20 on us at 12-1 on Paddy Power. Deposited £25 so had a fiver spare to play Black Jack on their online casino and just won £50... so effectively a free bet on Charlton and £25 up. Not a bad lunchtime... See, gambling does pay, kids.
Now in to 10s with PP, though 12s still with others. Mate in a bookies offices expects us to come in considerably further still, so if you do fancy us I'd get on soon
Get your bets on quickly people! The bookies are bound to slash our odds after the week we've just had! So confident now and really excited for the coming season! COYR!

best price 12s now
bet £3.65 offering 9 to 2 for promotion which is good value but they are a joke firm so hard to get money on with them clowns
You can still get 12's with Mr P Power esq.
Just took that one
William Hill still has Charlton down as 12s
BWP is 6-1 to be top scorer, Paul Hayes is 33-1 - I reckon the latter might be worth an each way bet.
Just stuck a £20 on us to win the league at Corals @ 12's
was tempted with a Cafc promotion and a Leeds relegation at 85's!!
12s is the best.
