Hey Guys,Im fairly new to this and only just stumbled across this page...frickin delighted:D.Anyway I was came across the handicap betting on paddypower for the league.Spurs +17 22/1 I think personally that's a great bet considering the way the league is panning out and the form spurs are in even with all the injuries.Anyone else feel this bet is worth few quid?:)

Well thinking about it logically it's a great bet.

we are currently 6 points behind with 40% of the season gone so on that form we should finish up well below the the required 16 point gap.

having said that, allot will depend on us and I have a feelinf united could go on a major run this season with everyone else being so **** at the moment.

I'm going to go stick €10 on it now myself. its definately not impossible but i wouldn't count on it by any means.

Winner will be determined only after the handicap is added to all listed teams at the end of the season.

I didn't see that bit (I was wondering how Chelsea were 50/1 at +0)

it's dead money mate.

Do you really think so?Maybe im understanding the whole thing wrong but say Chelsea finish top with 85points and Spurs finish with say 70points + the 17points =87points,would that not mean the bet comes through?Im really bloody confused now

Yea thats right, but you have to add all the points to all the other teams. Then see who comes out top.

I'm on a day off so I've little else to be doing (ignoring family, lethal footpaths, jobjar). We're 40% through the season, so this is how the final table will look assuming everyone performs the same over the remaining 60%:

Man Utd 77
Arsenal 72
Chelsea 72
Man City 65
Tottenham 62
Bolton 57
Stoke 50
Sunderland 50
Blackpool 47
Liverpool 47
Newcastle 47
West Brom 47
Blackburn 45
Aston Villa 42
Birmingham 42
Everton 40
Fulham 37
Wigan 35
West Ham 30
Wolverhampton 30


If we add the handicap points to these final scores, this is how the table will look:

Blackpool 101
Bolton 98
West Brom 96
Stoke 90
Newcastle 87
Blackburn 85
Sunderland 85
Arsenal 81
Birmingham 81
Man Utd 79
Tottenham 79
Wigan 79
Fulham 75
Wolverhampton 75
Man City 73
Chelsea 72
West Ham 70
Aston Villa 67
Everton 62
Liverpool 60

So put your money on Blackpool!

Bolton, West Brom and Blackpool all on very short odds (11/4)...

richardjjd

So what would have paid off?

West Brom 1st on 96 points (their final points + 49 bonus points)
Blackpool 2nd on 93 (final points + 54)
Bolton and Fulham 3rd on 87

then

Stoke 86
Newcastle 86
Wigan 86
Wolverhampton 85
Blackburn 83
Man Utd 82
Sunderland 82
Man City 79
Tottenham 79
Birmingham 78
Arsenal 77
Everton 76
Aston Villa 73
West Ham 73
Chelsea 71
Liverpool 71
