Championship Odds

[North Cardiff Blue]

When the full Championship line-up for 2023/24 was confirmed, the bookies initially installed Cardiff City as a 50/1 chance for the title.

When Erol Bulut was given the job as manager, the odds dropped to 66/1.

Following the signings of Yakou Meite, Karlan Grant and Aaron Ramsey, the odds have drifted again to 80/1.

The bookies were originally predicting City would finish somewhere between 14th and 16th. They are now predicting a finish between 20th and 22nd.

Work that one out, because I can’t. The downward trend in the odds following the recent signings doesn’t make any sense to me at all.

Wow that's crazy, but the bookies aren't usually wrong, they obviously feel that the Manager doesn't know the League and the players aren't good enough or are past it.

I would have agreed with 80/1 a month ago but agree they should be going in the other direction.

The bookies follow the money.

If all other supporters are punting for their teams the market will adjust accordingly
