As low as we are at the moment, and being a true supporter of this football club, I would never consider betting against my team for my own financial gratification, and though you seem to have a little band of followers who agree with everything you post , with comments like that , I’m happy , in my reckoning, that you’re a complete ****.

i often bet against Notts because my twisted logic means its a win / win if they play well and win i'm happy and if they play badly the money i make takes the edge off the disappointment, i suppose i could always bet on them winning and be double happy some times and double unhappy other times but i prefer the first way.

Me too. I often do it as a consolation bet, but the relegation bet is more taking advantage of what I consider to be very generous odds.

Well I'm no gambler, I freely admit that.
Just doesn't make sense when stories like this are banging about.

it does make sense if you understand how bookies decide on the odds

The article is complete bollox as usual, because Notts certainly aren't "overwhelming" favourites at all. We are marginal favourites with most, some have us as joint favourites, and one even has us as second favourite. If the odds don't make sense (I think we are way too short), it means betting on the opposite will offer value.

Anyone who thinks we are a shoe in for promotion next season needs their head checking.

The 25/1 has gone, best odds for relegation are now down to 20/1.
