Start of the season odds

I know it's still early days, but am I right in thinking York were around 40/1 to go up at the start of the season.

I know after the Sheffield Wednesday match I was tempted to risk a groat or two, but then didn't bother.

Wondered if anyone out there was bold enough was starting to get a bit nervy?

each-way means i each money if we finish in the top 3.

The 40/1 odds were to win the title surely?

Doubt you'd have got odds anywhere near that to go up via playoffs.

e/w (each way) was for 1st and 2nd places only. However I am not sure if it was where they finished or who wins the play off.

I had 25/1 for promotion (1st or playoffs) a few games into the season - however I ripped the ticket up whilst we were in the "blip period"! Crying or Very sad

Looks like it was a good thing though - our forms way better since! Wink

All depends who you bet with as to what your particular each way odds were - i.e. how many places, and what fraction of the odds you get. Common odds were 25/1 or 33/1 with 1/4 the odds first three. Some bookies were taking bets on actual promotion. Then of course theres the handicap markets...

To be conference top scorer I have Andy Bishop 9/2ew (1st,2nd) and Justin Richards 4/1ew (1st,2nd,3rd).

Anyone know what happens if they both have the same number of goals?

I took 25/1 with Vic Chandler, E/W paying 1/4 for top 3 finish, before the season started. Within 5 minutes I found a stack of bookies giving 40/1! Rolling Eyes

Bet365 are now up to date, and have the following

York 4/1 to be promoted.

Andy Bishop 4/5 to be top goalscorer.

Clayton Donaldson 50/1 to be top goalscorer.

York to come second behind Accrington 7/1.

Betfair currently have York to win the league at 499/1 to come top 3 at 21/10, and scarboro just slightly better than evens to come bottom.
