Guest RowanB Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 We are currently fourth favourites to win the Carling Cup 2010/2011!! Betfair punters have us as a 15.0 shot, implying we have a 6.7% chance of winning our first major trophy since 1969. I'll take that! COME ON. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest johnson293 Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 We'll probably be drawn away at Man Utd next round! Just gonna take each game as it comes in the comp, and hope for the best to be honest! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

broonalegeordie Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 lets not get carried away!! although if we avoid man utd and arsenal we have a good chance! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robster Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 Change the fucking deluded thread title right now. Aye. Going to look laughable for any guest fans of other teams browsing the board :-[ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest RowanB Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 Your pole doesn't make sense. Also voting our probability somewhere between 0 and turd. The poll DOES make sense. How does this thread imply any kind of delusion? We are fourth favourites to win the tournament at odds of 15.0. That implies a 6.7% chance. Money talks. Why do you think people are trading at that price? If you're so confident we're not going to win, just lay the 15.0 on offer at Betfair. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well for anyone with a few braincells to rub together, it obviously isn't certain that we're going to win the tournament. It depends how inanely literally you want to take the thread title. You sound a bit miserable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That first sentence about making no sense was just about your first edit (pole/poll) but I see that's gone from your post now I made that comment because at one point it didn't make sense because the options were '0-10%, 10-20%,' etc. It makes perfect sense now, hence the edit.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 Pointless thinking about cups like that really... just approach each game afresh and see how far you can go. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest RowanB Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 It isn't pointless looking at cups like this. Gamblers/ bookmakers try and quantify the probability of teams winning tournaments. Betfair punters have us as a 15.0 (6.7%) chance at the moment.

Guest RowanB Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 I started this thread because Betfair punters think we have more than a 5% chance of winning our first major trophy since 1969. That's pretty significant. Just see how long it lasts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
