Super computer lol. It's just using odds to put teams in order
Why are they still quoting odds like 9/4 or 8/11 from £sd days?
I’ve backed top two. May well go big on it again with a view to ran early cash outSkybet title odds down to 16/1
I don't think they've ever been so low. Are you all whacking all your money on this, or is this the bookies actually taking us seriously?
Currently 3rd favourites behind City and Liverpool
Super computer my arse. It's probably some hipster with his nut latte and a ZX Spectrum. The teams haven't even been assembled yet.
Good luck.I’ve backed top two. May well go big on it again with a view to ran early cash out
there is no super computer. A tabloid made up the table and published a silly "super computer" article. It's a pretty common trope now.I am assuming the Super Computer is making up transfers they think will happen. Only way Newcastle would be that high and they must think Chelsea and United will make some big transfers to close the window.
I have us above Chelsea right now, but if they make 2-3 big transfers then it's a toss up. United is way behind until they make 4-5 really big signings and ETH hits the ground running. I think he's going to be a failure but who knows at this point.

They always make the promoted teams favourites to go down, but every season at least one of them surprises everyone by finishing mid-table.

No, it's how you play the entire season. Dropping points in the first game is exactly the same as dropping points in the last game. If anything, it's probably more important how you start, because a good start gives you more options and flexibility down the line.It’s not about how you start, it’s about how you finish. If we’re a handful of points off top in second or third by the time the WC comes around, we’ve got a great chance in my opinion. Get the hard games out of the way and get on a run in the second half of the season.

But at the end of the day... Every. Game. Counts.
