That’s right so if you can get much less then it’s worth a bet

Lots of bookies have us 500/1 on to get promoted.

More often than not these are the highest odds they offer.

I'm sure a few have stopped taking bets on us getting promoted too.

What if the next couple of rounds of results weren't to go our way (hardly unimaginable) and the gap went down to about 5 points with 5 games to play? I can just picture the panic on here. I maintain that there's something wrong with that modelling.

5 point gap with 15 to play where we have Sheffield Wednesday at home.

Panic on here does not reflect mathematics and probability.

I have real questions about whether you can effectively simulate a football match tbh.

They're not simulating every kick are they, just the likely results

WOW Otis I was expecting your 1-1 prediction , I'm with you on this - 2-0 win for the Sky Blues

Quite often am confident to be honest. But as the season has worn on, I have got a bit more nervous, hence the 1-1's.

I guess it's being too close to the finish line

I don't think there should have been Good Friday fixtures this season.

An extra round of midweek matches could have been accommodated at the same time as Ipswich are playing Portsmouth or Southampton.

Not an issue next year as there wont be any Easter fixtures at all. That though would have meant Ipswich not being able to complete the fixtures in time as they wouldnt have enough midweeks

even With the international lads missing we’ve still got a squad that will beat derby, comfortable 3-0

Derby will be a tough match . They are physical and top the Championship yellow card league table.
Additionally they’ll play counter attacking and if Adjeman is playing, his speed will cause our centre backs big problems.
We need to score early and force them to play more attacking.

Having listened to him, I think we should be pleased and relieved if they only beat us by five!

Asking to lose if we make that many changes, we'd be so disjointed.

Would be more of a grind than we'd want. But that team isn't too dissimilar from the ones who were able to grind out home wins in Nov/Dec

Still a very good champ team and we'd have an amazing bench to turn to

Surely the opposite Pete? According to Opta's flawless maths there's less than a 1 in 1600 chance of us failing to be promoted. It's nailed on, making 1/500 brilliant value for promotion, so I presume a number of people on here are grabbing the chance for their free tenner by betting £5000 on it.
