QPR rumour

Thu Apr 21, 2011 12:43 pm

Certain bookmakers have started suspending bets on the winners of the championship

Word is QPR are getting hit with a monumental points deduction. If the bookies are running for cover, somebody somewhere knows what's happening and they're probably laying several large bets on the chasing pack

Hmmm, I can't see it. I reckon the bookies are just covering their behinds. Probably suspended bets because they're going to go up.

Several private bookies have, hopefully it'll filter through to the big players. Ask Annis to put 500,000 on City. They'll soon change their minds ;-)

Sure it will be a case of nailed on champions rather that a points deduction!! The Fa wont have the cahonas to take points of them at this stage of the season, it would open a huge can of worms!

What happens if they only deduct a few points, say 5. Will we then see 3rd place claiming compensation like Sheff Utd did before I wonder

Can’t see how the bookies would be running for cover myself.

If they had word of a massive point’s deduction they would quite happily carry on offering the paltry odds that they have on offer at the moment.

However if they had heard that no points deduction was forthcoming then they might choose to suspend betting on the” to be promoted market”, as offering odds on QPR to be promoted would be like giving money away as far they are concerned.

if they knew anything , they would def keep it to themselves, and can decline any bets at any time if they so wish without giving any reason why . i once tried to get only £20 win and £20 double on 2 of my greyhounds at william hills in st mary street the manager said he would only except £5 wins and£5 double had to get the rest on in other branches (both won 3to1 and 9to2)they always know what they are doing(bastards) :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

The Fa are not going to deduct them any points.

Anyway QPR are top by merit and deserve to go up as the most consistent team in the league.

I just prey we beat them on Saturday and go on to earn promotion ourselves rather than hoping the league help us out.

Hull at 16/1 on SKY Bet to get promoted, that's worth a f*cking bet given their form!
