Have they released the handicap league points for each team and their relevant odds yet?

Surely the odds for the handicap league will be the same for each team - something around 15/1 - as that is what the handicap points are for (or have I mssed something)?

I am pretty sure that VC had differing odds for each team even though the point handicaps were different

Right.. in theory you should get the same price for each handicap.. at least to start with. However, as with last year, if the bookie has laid too much, they will manipulate prices to balance the bookes. This happened with Reading last year as the Racing Post made it their chosen bet in the handicaps. Both VC and Ladbrokes shortened on Reading. The RP also had us finishing 7th, which turned out to be pretty much spot on!

The handicap betting will be a standout bet again this season..

Indeed, with a 50 point handicap Reading started at 16's and shortened to 10's by the time I got round to placing my bet on VC

hobnob If I'm not mistaken the Sunday Times said we'd stay up in 17th place with Fulham in 18th!


lol HobNob, they got it the wrong way round and a season too early.

(can I be a mod please - i use the internet loads and am clever and stuff)?)
