Long way to go but it looks a lot better tonight than it did three or four weeks ago. 4 points off top, we've stopped leaking goals and we're unbeaten in 8. The exciting thing is, it's almost unanimous on here and the rest of the web that we can get better still! UTM

really? how are we favourites?
Cheltenham  seem to be doing well and I'd say there's still not much between us and tranmere. I obviously want us to go up and feel like it's our year but I just find it strange how the tide changes so quickly with the bookies.
in saying that (slightly off subject) it sometimes makes you wonder, did anyone see the odds on the arsenal v man u game? no one call tell me united have ever been that big of odds in the past however many years?

Quite surprising really that Bet365 now have us at 11/4 but have Cheltenham at 7/1.

They've obviously noticed that Cheltenham have Harry Pell and Danny Parslow in their side. Must just be a blip. Expect them to finish mid table.

I expect it to be a 4 way scrap between us, Forest Green, Tranmere and Cheltenham. Anybody's out of the 4 really. A good run by any of them now could put them in the box seat

Not really. Let's say you put a bet on Cheltenham to win the league and the price shortens considerably. You then can use your potential winnings to back other teams around them and bet on them to win the league. The idea is you win whatever happens. That's what I did and am still doing on this year's Baseball and I am developing a position in several long-term foootball markets. You need to start with a bet which is "value", i.e. a price you think will shorten over time.

Sounds risky using money you haven't got yet (and not guaranteed to get) to bet on something else which is also not guaranteed to win. So if you've misjudged your original "value" bet and it really is an 11:1 shot and it doesn't come home. Yes you might win one of the other teams you've backed but you'd also have to balance that against the stakes on the all other bets which you've lost.

Or have I misunderstood?

Surely FGR will be reinstalled as favourites now they've restored their 7 point lead?

That's why you only ever put a relatively small bet down as a marker. If you lose it's a trivial amount, Once the odds move in your direction then you start putting down a lot more money.

97% of people lose at betting, 3% win. The last four years I have won and there seems little chance of me losing this year considering how much I am up and we're 80% of the way through the year. Winning is not guaranteed of course but most people bet in a way that there is very little chance of them winning long term,

Site I use as well and what I like about it is it has a spread of all the bookies.Having said that there is nothing in it looking at these odds
