Title Odds?!

[Guest]

It seems all too soon to discuss title chances, but Stan James are offering us at 150-1 to win the conference (place terms 1/4 odds 1st 3), and given that the opening quotes were generally 66/1 and 80/1 and that we have started well, played without our 1st choice X1 yet and have not played anybody a class above us, it could be a shade generous.

They still seem to have the pre season odds on the internet - would you believe we were 250/1 at that point - cant believe I settled for 80/1 with Hills at the time !!

Alan, for some reason the start date for the Conference still appears on their site, but Stan James were definately 66/1 pre-season and to put your mind at ease, the Hills price of 80/1 was the biggest of any of the 10 firms quoted in the Racing Post pre-season supplement. The Doncaster price of 11/4 reflects their excellent early season showing (Stan were 8/1 pre-season), and I can only conclude that these prices were available today and that trade has been taken at the 250/1 quote. Having taken 80/1 you are entitled to feel bemused at the current price, given the points made in my e-mail and our tough opening set of fixtures.
