O/T Odds for this season! : Thu Jun 22, 2017 12:34 pm  

After looking at a number of odds sites i have come across some bizzare prices! e.g. Wigan are 1,000 to 1 to be league leaders this season but are 6/4 favourites to win the Challenge Cup this year! and are 11,4 to win the GF! Cas are 1/20 to win the League Leaders shield! but are 8/1 to win the GF! Whoever is making the odds must be certain that there is no chance of any team catching up with Cas for the Lead leadership

I also noticed some weird odds, Cas are ridiculously high favourites for the GF, we are second favourites with most bookies but are at over triple Castlefords odds

I cant remember there being such a clear favourite half way through a season in any previous year, yet alone from a team who have yet to prove themselves in big games

In addition to that I saw that we were third favourites placed at 6/1.

With Salford (currently in 2nd) at 12/1.

Crazy odds....bearing in mind there's a high chance we won't make the Top 4.

I'd have Leeds and Hull bigger favourites then Cas to win the GF tbh. They're proven in high pressure games.

Wigan would rightfully be favourites for the cup at the minute. Leeds and Hull could go either way whereas the bookies will feel Wigan are big favourites for the other semi so they'll see them as being the most likely team to be in the final.

In truth both comps are totally open and anybody could win them. The LLS is done and dusted.

I'm feeling quite good about sticking a few quid on Leeds when they were 15-2 earlier in the season when us and Cas were unbeaten.

Cas are not 8/1 to win the GF.

Will be interesting to see what the odds are on Sunday morning, lots of key games this weekend. If Cas win they've got the LLS in the bag, a Leeds win keeps it alive although still in Cas' favour. Yourself and Hudds massive for both to keep clear of the bottom 4 and to have any chance of top 4. If Salford beat Saints then think Saints' top 4 hopes are dust and you have 4th vs 5th with Hull vs Wakey.

Can not believe that we are still third favorites for the G/F after Fridays match, would need 39 points to make top 4.

You can get close to 3/1 odds for Hull against Cas tomorrow, gotta be worth a punt given they beat them 2 weeks a go
