Celtic fans betting on Hibs to win SPL

**Coco Bryce** · 29-10-2009 10:12 PM

According to KDS. After seeing all the teams and how they are performing so far this season, Celtic fans have decided that both the old firm are rank rotten and odds of 100/1 on HIbs are to good to miss.

Kind of.

If you look at the thread 2 people have put about a fiver on us and three or four more think it's a good idea. They're probably just being dramatic.

Everyone else think it's a daft idea.

A quote from the Waterboy by any chance?

**Calvin** · 30-10-2009 01:38 AM

I'll admit that I stuck a fiver on about 3 weeks ago at 350/1, now we are as low as 66/1!

I've got a mate who's a Celtic season ticket holder. He's said if hibs keep thier players fit the old firm must take note

**bighairyfaeleith** · 30-10-2009 07:21 AM

I stuck a tenner on hertz to get relegated at 66/1 at the start of the season, much more likely to win that one I reckon

There you go then!!!

**JackRegan** · 30-10-2009 08:25 AM

I'm going to check out your odds on the handicap list and might even have a flutter of £10 on you at 50-1.

Hibs have a chance of winning the SPL this season. There - I've said it.

However......you lot are ALWAYS prone to coupon busting results like teh one you had at Hamilton a few weeks back.

If we don't strengthen in january and you keep your players fit, then it will be very interesting.

That and our tendency to Hibernate from November/December time. Dontyaknow that’s where we actually got our name from!

If Yogi can keep the results going through these months he’ll have done something I don’t think any other manager has done in my life time – at least it seems that way!!

And then sign them on the cheap?

**big-mo** · 30-10-2009 08:52 AM

One of my mates put a £10 on Hibs to do the treble before the start of the season and would have won £45,000 if it had come up. Fortunatly he also placed the bet as singles and doubles so he could still be in the money.

Thats why I would like to see summer football

**dirtydirk** · 30-10-2009 09:03 AM

Dont think it will happen, I would be content with 3rd place considering that Dundee utd are creeping up right behind us and seem to have avoided the spotlight.

I was thinking the other day though, I think Hibs and others could seriously challenge the old firm this season with a bit of investment and providing they were consistant up till January when they could strenghthen even more.

Surely there must be someone out there looking for a quick return. If someone was to plough say 8-10 mill in to Hibs or Dundee utd in the transfer window, I think the champs league would be a dead cert and the return they would make on that money would sound a decent investment. Is it not something like 12 mill for making the group stages or something?

They wouldnt even need to invest as much as that. Hibs could get sol campbell and Volz for nothing, pay campbell £50k a week on a 6 month contract and we would walk the league. Him, Bamba, Murray and Volz as a back 4.

How good would that ne, we can only dream

**mim** · 30-10-2009 09:36 AM

Yeah, Hibs are going to win the league and I'm going to win Euromillions tonight.

Anyone fancy a bet on the double?

The bigger question is; can we beat Aberdeen tomorrow and stay in touch?

Hibs are not a 'good thing' to win any single game in the SPL, although there is no game that they cannot win.

Rangers and Celtic are a certainty in many of the games they will play this season and that is the difference.

talk of winning the league, in October, with any non-OF team is just

IF we can win our next 2, stay injury free through to xmas, then and only then will we even have a SMALL chance.
If we're in touch come new year, I'd like to think the Board will support Yogi and get in 2 or 3 more quality players, espeically at the back.
After that, who knows.

And despite the fact we've played well in the last 3 games - We've only scored 1 goal in each match. Not exactly scoring for fun & still not strong enough defensively.

Leave me alone

£10 @ 100/1 must be worth a punt for any Hibby tho , you just never know do you

Jack, it's nice of you to be so flattering about our chances but if you really want to throw your money away, buy me a couple of drinks before the next All Green game at Celtc Park.

Oh, and the bit I've highlighted in green, it's sooooo true, unfortunately.

**HibbyScott** · 30-10-2009 09:51 AM

I stuck a fiver on us at the weekend at 200-1 - was far too good to miss. Just on the offchance that we actually do manage it you understand

That's it in a nutshell. I've said on other threads but will repeat it here. Some of the SPL teams who can't afford out and out quality have gone physical and that can sometimes upset (for want of a better term) a smaller but more talented team. Tactics also have a large part to play and I saw Motherwell score two goals in consecutive weeks from corners using the same ploy, which is mariginally legal but not sporting in my opinion. One of those was against Hibs at Fir Park. The teams and managers know each other so well that there are thin lines between a win a draw and a defeat. The long ball can get teams out of trouble and put teams in trouble. Teams might sit in and frustrate and get a penalty on the break when they are the underdogs

Anything can happen especially when goals dry up. I think on those grounds even Rangers and Celtic won't always be dead certs this season. I usually err on the side of caution and play us down even if I quietly feel confident. Those of us who have been following the SPL week in and week out must feel that the worst we can get tomorrow barring some catastrophy happening is a draw. There I've said it and regret having said it already. We are a clever wee side and I hope we can keep it up; at least we have something to lose this season, which is a nice pressure to have.
