Exactly, and every year someone breaks out the 'you never see a broke bookie ' line as if being made favourites is proof we'll go up and then inevitably we fuck it up and then the same thing happens the following Summer.

All bookies do is reflect the opinions of the people betting on a particular event. They calculate odds to ensure they make a profit whatever happens. Teams like SUFC will always be favourites in D3 as they have more supporters and hence more people will bet on them (football punters being notoriously optimistic types) than on any other team.
 
are we favourite because we are seen as a big club or is it because the bookies see Adkins taking us up, what is your opinion.
That should be a good omen, and from the new manager threads I remember reading that the bookies are normally right.
All this plus we remember what happened last time we were favourites, it must be nailed on.

Choo Choo, all aboard the promotion train!!!

I know that (and of course there is probably less bet of League One so it takes far less money to significantly alter odds) but yet we always get one or two fans who see us being favourites as proof positive we're going to go up.
