Anyone fancy a straight bet. I'll bet Rovers get promoted. So 1st,2nd,3rd or play off winners. Assuming that's how promotion is still done from the 4th tier. So if you think Rovers won't get promoted..... Your money will be better spent at the bookies Bas! Rovers are 5-2 to get promoted at Skybet.

I don’t bet but, wouldn’t the teams at the foot of the odds for promotion be the teams at the top of the odds for relegation? Surely. Or is there a subtle difference? UTG! You are correct. Fun fact: Man U are 10-1 for the Premiership title, 4th favourites. 1000-1 to get relegated. 3 go down out of 20. Bristol Rovers are 9-1 for the League 2 title, 2nd favourites. Only 2 go down out of 24. So what should the odds be on relegation? I think it will 'only' be 66-1 or maybe 100-1. If the bookies follow the Man United 'logic' and offer 1000-1 then they will attract a lot of interest. £10 to potentially gain £10,000. Mr B***** might build a good squad and challenge for the title. However nothing he has done or said leads me to believe that he will. There is a chance that Bristol Rovers will completely implode. And it's not a 1000-1 chance. Or 100-1. More like 10-1 IMHO. As someone else posted - 3 times in the last 11 years the Club finishing bottom of League 1 has been relegated the following season. I will leave you with that cheery thought. Best odds on Rovers getting promoted are 11-4. They are 2nd favourites behind Salford 7-4. The bookies have obviously read this football forum and have concluded that the "Man Utd logic" does not apply in League 2. They have finally finished colluding and the best odds on Rovers getting relegated are 25-1 (2nd least likely). In terms of odds at the bookies the Club least likely to get relegated is Salford at 33-1.

So if you think Rovers won't get promoted..... we won’t know much from first 5 games. When there is lot of churn at a club it most often takes time to gel. De canio’s Swindon got going and walked this, started with a win but then showed indifferent form, the odds from bookies should keep moving, so if you believe in B***** and the team he’s assembled, the best odds may be after 6 games with the side in 15th than before first game. even with a new manager, FGR seem a good bet to finish above us at end of season. They kept most a successful side this level together, except look a bit short in defence and their goalie is not as good as our first choice, but a smart bet on sides in top 7 last season who hsvn’t made big changes than a side that finished bottom and assembled a new squad. If I owned rovers maybe I would be tempted not by a big reset this season, but a load of good loans to make us competitive and try to get up, and a big reset when we do achieve promotion, because all you would be asking for from the reset would be to stay up in div 1 and build, not the reset to challenge from the off.

"I think we'll challenge " . So top ten at least, all season,except for- and as you point out- the possibility of an average start. My offer of a bet was'nt about getting the best odds,it was aimed at those that can't stand Rovers manager and for months hav'nt been slow in derogatory comment against JB. Easy money for them ,you could be forgiven in thinking.😗😏

But when it comes to the no no’s in football betting I would defer to Joey B***** and chums as the subject matter experts 😏

So despite the quality of football and league placing, I won’t be calling for B***** to go before the first round of the FA cup. If I think the tactics are as cowardly and stupid as Southgate against the Italian’s I will have a go at explaining why. The new intake has quite a youthful look to it. Mid table league 1 with this reset would be quite a credible result IMO.Though we are not in league one. Expectations are higher. Alternative to the reset now, a go all out for promotion using loans and experienced journeymen on short attractive deals could have been better for bounce back, as mid table and seldom in promotion race won’t be good for manager or chairman this season at all with this reset squad. This thread has us fancied by bookies, that only adds to expectation. Once fourfourtwo predicts we are second, every match becomes a banana skin. But if a court agrees he dashed into a tunnel, pushed a guy from behind into iron railings and walked away, I will call for the sack no matter how well it’s going in the league. Everyone of us would in that instance anyway wouldn’t they we, as only right and proper? Banged to rights is banged to rights after all, Joey would be facing a ban from all football. And if it’s going well, Hill will simply take over. 🙂

True and fact is DC had a bad start but what I can’t handle is the way he surrendered our league 1 status. If he quits so easily then what can we exoect ? It wasn’t as if he even tried to say differently but only attempted to justify it, by blaming everyone but him.
