13/8 madnot, 13/8.
My greatest Bolton moment? Wembley v Reading.
----------------
Although I'm just about old enough to remember it, and was at the Coca Cola Cup Final the same year I didn't go the game against Reading, so my greatest moment in a similar vein would have to be Millenium Stadium vs Preston.
I can understand your points, madnot. Of course it's nice to get a win more often than not. Don't mean any harm by this, but doesn't that make you a glory supporter?
Anyway, I realise our situation an understand that we are more likely to win in the championship, but I prefer to be plying the bet teams and snatching points from them. I like being the underdogs. I enjoy the scrapping and a hard fought win.
If I could guarantee our safety every year, I would take prem football over a promotion from the championship.
Just checked that, LH, the Stoke win is 13/8. Amazingly, however, bookies have us as slight favourites at 7/5.
Do they know something we don't? Or has no-one told them ZK is likely to playing....
TTR- 'Don't mean any harm by this, but doesn't that make you a glory supporter?'
I appreciate you might not mean any harm, and none done, but I don't think you've really thought that through properly. But the turn 'glory supporters' is accepted as meaningthe ones who come along when the glory arrives, that glory mostly being defined as getting into the big time.
Fair enough, madnot.
Not in any way suggesting thy you are a glory supporter anyway. Just wanted to clear it up.
Anyway, like I said, I hope it doesn't come to that. Beating Stoke away at the Brit is a dead cert...😳

That's good news. I checked it Sunday night and we were 13/8 with Stoke favourites at 13/10. This means that the betting market fancies us to win.
Zat Knight's glorious BWFC swansong, and all this scorn...
It's more like hope money from the Whites, sympathy money from the neutrals and a lack of clever money in the market affecting that price largehat.
Nothing else.
Yeah, because people bet money out of sympathy all the time, don't they Bricks.
How do you rate your chances on Sunday? If you manage to stay up do you fancy Coyle to turn things around or do you think it's time for a new face? Not a wind up just interested in your opinions.
PS is my Spanish ffriend still Around?
*Friend* still suffering from last nights celebrations.
People are obviously betting on the fact that we have to win to stay up and Stoke have nothing to play for.
Can't use odds changing as a good or bad sign really, unless Tony Pullis has had a large bet on us to change them.
Largehat: 13/8 is longer odds than 13/10, which means the betting markets fancy Stoke to win more than they fancy Bolton. I think the point you were making is that the betting markets see it as quite close with Stoke slight favourites, which is better than Stoke being hot favourites - the bookies think we have a reasonable chance. Something like that?
