League Two betting 2011/12

[Uncle Leo]

The 28/1 with bet365 on us to win League Two has gone now - they now go 22/1 Southend.

There is still plenty of 25s available - Hills, BlueSq, BetFred and totesport all at that price.

Latest odds here:

I'm duty bound to report that Ladbrokes, who are no longer on Oddschecker but continue to pay my wages, are 20/1 Southend

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

Can't believe Crawley are as short as 5/2 in places.

Rotherham at 19/1 looks a good bet, especially if they manage to keep hold of Le Fondre

I've put a fiver on with my Gillingham supporting mate that we'll finish above them - easy money :happy:

[jimmyshrimp]

I took 28/1 e/w on us, plus 13/2 for promotionon on Bet365 a while ago. Odds now 22/1 and 5/1.
They know the blues are going up!

[MK Shrimper]

I've got rather excited during this close season and dipped my toe into betting, something I only do once a year at the National. £10 E/W for us to win league 2 @ 25/1. :omg:

[SupaBlues]

Backed us the other week £10 e/w at 28s with Bet365. Look even better value if we can sign Ricketts:clap:

That's exactly the bet I had. I think we'll be as low as 16/1 come start of the season

[Beefy]

Other than us, I quite like the look of Northampton at up to 20/1.

[SARF]

total points prices should be out at next week.. if we open around what we got last season ill be buying some

[Uncle Leo]

Whilst 20/1 is generally available on Southend, we're now as short as 12/1 with SkyBet.

[Uncle Leo]

Thought I'd post a little update. Opinion still seems to be divided on Southend - we're 25/1 with Coral and Stan James, but as short as 14/1 with Ladbrokes (who, historically, have always been quite sweet on Southend).

Creepy are generally around the 3/1 mark to win the division, with this weekend's opponents Rotherham next up at around 7/1.

[Uncle Leo]

Shortest price on Southend to win League Two is now 10/1 with Ladbrokes. We're generally around 16/1, although Stan James are a little out of line, still offering 22/1.

[effy67]

Thought 25/1 was a good price at the beginning of the season so certainly a bit of value about us still being 22/1 with Stan James. Have to say even if we had lost at Rotherham I woulfd have thought 22/1 a more than fair price.

E/W is quarter of the odds 1/2/3

We are only 10/1 with Ladbrokes

[Leoblue]

Not being much of a betting man, I seem to remember that at the start of the season we were 25-1 for promotion. Does anyone know what the odds are now? Thanks

See previous the two posts prior to your one...

James,

What happens if you've inadvertently chucked your slip away??

[Uncle Leo]

James,

What happens if you've inadvertently chucked your slip away??

The shop will have a record of it. If it's a hand written slip and you have a decent idea of when it was placed, they would ask you to write it out again and if they feel it matches closely enough to their records, you'd be paid out. Slightly trickier if it's a coupon of course....

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

No, it's just a one-off bet.

£20 at 25/1 on us to win the league...

[Fish]

I have £25 on 7/1 for us to get promotion. I've stopped telling people now in case it induces bad karma.

:stupidme:

[Uncle Leo]

Southend now best priced 8/1 (Stan James, Paddy Power) for League Two. Creepy remain favourites and are now in to 5/6 (BetFred)

[Forever A Shrimper]

Very tempted to sign up to a Paddy Power Account, put £50 down (matched) on Man City to win the Premier League and Southend to win League 2. Returns £2,000. Decisions.

[BLUEBLOOD]

Southend now best priced 8/1 (Stan James, Paddy Power) for League Two. Creepy remain favourites and are now in to 5/6 (BetFred)

So we are about 2/1 5/2 to win promotion ??

Blimey there's no wonder you don't see a poor bookie with flimsy odds like that

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

UL, what's the latest Top Goalscorer odds? I would look myself, but most betting sites are banned in the office...

31 Oct 2011.

Tubbs 100/30 Ladbrokes.
Midson 10/1 Paddy Power (Shop by the deeping).
I.McLeod 10/1 Ladbrokes.
Justin Richards 11/1 Ladbrokes.
Hylton 12/1 Ladbrokes.
Tyrone Barnett 14/1 Ladbrokes.
Constable 14/1 Ladbrokes.
Grabban 14/1 Ladbrokes.

Kedwell, Miller, Carlton and Jolly all 25/1 Ladbrokes.
Well down the list, Neil Harris 66/1 Ladbrokes.

Coral and W.Hills haven't put their prices up on oddschecker, so worth checking them out before placing a bet. I didn't count firms like SkyBet also.

Southend to win the league 5/1 Coral and Paddy Power. 9/2 Ladbrokes and William Hill.

Promotion (including play-off method) Evens Paddy Power. 4/5 Coral, W.Hill. Ladbrokes not stated.

Accrington tonight (Hereford away) have drifted from 13/10 to 23/10 in places within the past 2 hours. What could have caused such a drastic shift?

Sorry, only just seen this. Most likely a run of money following some advice form an influential tipping line. When there was the big move for Bradford against us a few weeks ago, our Trading Dept were very suspicious - they reckoned that were it a game played somewhere like Greece or Turkey they'd have been asking serious questions about the integrity of the game.

I just explained that we played like **** and they accepted that.

[jimmyshrimp]

Does anybody know how we are doing in the season handicap table? Is there a site that keep you unto date?

Cheers

None that spring to mind, but I'll have a look.

I would have thought Cheltenham are leading though, fairly sure they would have had a bigger start than us.

In the league winner betting, Crawley are out to evens now, we are as short as 3/1, best price 9/2 with Coral or Paddy Power.

[jimmyshrimp]

Thanks, i backed Southend e/w so hope i'm in with a shout with that.
I also backed Crystal Palace e/w.

[Uncle Leo]

Time for an update I think:

Swindon 11/10 (Paddy Power)
Crawley 2/1 (Stan James)
Southend 10/1 (Coral, SkyBet, Victor)
Shrewsbury 10/1 (widely available)
Torquay 12/1 (widely available)
Cheltenham 18/1 (Coral)
