What's the odds of us not getting promoted ?

Would you put any money on if the odds would give you a good return ?

No chance I wouldn't bet against us, even if I could see into the future and we lost a shed full of games in a row, and dropped like a lead balloon. I never bet on my own club to win or lose.

This is one of the most negative threads I have read on here.

To be honest I quite often bet against Cardiff as I dont mind losing the money at all if we get something out of the game!!!!!!
but if we lose I get a nice return out of it to soften the disappointment with a good night out to soften the blow. This season I am about equal on the out lay and to be honest if we do fack it up this year it would be the worst Summer ever with all the JB's infesting this board and gloating but a 100 quid on us not going up would probably return a very good summer holiday to dust myself down and be ready for the new season? I have followed this club for over 40 years so believe me you become battle hardened!!

You can get odds of 8/1 for city to make the playoffs.
you can get odds of 1/12 for city to finish in top 2

Yes they are good odds as the bookies believe its not going to happen. for it to happen at least two teams need to go on excellent runs and city need to go on really bad run. And in the championship its hard to go on good runs as anyone can beat anyone. Thats why they are offering such good odds

Exactly! I would have to consider it a compensation package!

My bets rarely come in anyway so I would see it as doing us a favour! :ayatollah:

I had a bet on Cardiff to loose in the FA Cup - because I knew we were fielding the reserve team and I got 6-1 on Macclesfield - EVEN though I still wanted Cardiff to win, it was like a consolation prize.

I prefer decimal odds, you would only get something like 1.1 to 1, would you risk a tenner to win 11 quid??? I wouldn't!
