Unless they knew a club was massively over priced. I.e. there may well be a few clubs at much longer odds who may be in financial woes or something that the bookies have not considered.We get this every year. Nobody knows what any squad will be like, or how they perform in pre season games. This is just bookies trying to create a market. Only mugs would place a bet on next season this early.
I think the odds are based on the playing budgets of each club. With Accrington’s promotion, we may actually not have the lowest budget in the league next season, Accrington will likely be that team. So Accrington are favourites for the drop, and Gills the second favourites.Second favourites with Sky Bet to be relegated next season, Accrington are favourites @5/4, personally I don't think either will drop.
