Just clicked on some evening news article. It's giving odds of clubs to win the league.
It rates the Gorgie bawbags as 16/1 and then next is ourselves and aberdeen at 150/1.
Who writes such pish ? Must be the Mr del effect.
Roll on the new season amd put them in their place again.
Seems a bit exaggerated but B365 has Hearts at 25/1, us at 66 and Aberdeen at 80 so the general trend they're conveying is at least in line with the current bookmaker odds.
Ladbrokes, it just feeds their insatiable appetite for delusionQuote:

It isn’t the writer that makes up the odds though, you would have to blame Ladbrokes for thatQuote:

Bookies are just going with the club budgets. Those with most money have best chance of success, makes sense.Quote:

Not yet I don't think, different markets will open in timeQuote:

Do some folk still get the slightest bit bothered about stuff like this?
16/1 is outrageously low odds for something that's impossible.
Hearts winning the league ffs 😂😂😂
The odds reflect the betting patterns. That is what the ‘book’ is. Bookies aim to break even at worst on an event (they usually make a profit unless a heavily backed outsider wins) They increase odds on teams to attract bets, hence Hibs at 150/1. If a lot of people like those odds and bet heavily they will drop the Hibs odds and increase the odds on another team i.e Hearts. It is far too early to start making meaningful predictions this early in the pre-season, so the current odds are just to tempt!
PS Or to create annoyance on Hibs.net
Yeah, can't imagine anyone backing a non-OF team for anything less than 100/1.Quote:

They always have some sort of inside info that we never get.
Its wait and see time, and there will be some muppets will take a punt, just for bravado!!!
Those odds are win only.Quote:

It's not that far fetched. Hearts split the Old Firm this season.
It is because they have their new investor. Bookies playing it safe just in case.Quote:

They were probably a lot higher and after the investment was announced people took a punt on the longer odds
They were certainly split from the old firm with 5 games to goQuote:

It's a Hibs message board so why not discussQuote:
