    What if we were to lose the best player in our team to the team most likely to win the league though?

    50-1 eh?

    That means if you put 10 quid on you lose 10 quid.

    If you can afford it and we are in contention most of the season then it is a great way to spend $10
    I was thinking $100 would be worth losing for the fun of it

    To be fair, when I got in tonight Mrs Smartie asked me how I think we'll get on this season and I said "we're going to win the league", and I was only half-joking.

    A tenner at 50/1 is a fun bet, if you can afford to lose a tenner.

    If we finish 3rd it will effectively be as good as winning the league considering the financial advantage that Celtic and Rangers have over us.

    I cannot see any way that we'll win the league this season.

    I'm shocked the bookies are still taking bets on who's going to win the SPL - thought they'd have all closed their books after the Jambos thrashing of Hamilton ?

    Arguably a stronger hearts and hibs (and others) equals more teams taking points off each other. You never know!

    Hmmm... Haven't won the (top) League in over 60 years.
    Bookies are seldom wrong.
    Sounds like throwing money away.

    50/1is not exactly a generous price for Hibs to win the league? Not a gambler so not sure exactly how such things work, but 50/1 doesn’t sound like a fair price.

    Got 150/1 last season.

    The bookies think we are 3 times more likely to do it, if that means anything.

    I'll get BMD to put one of my tenners on it.

    Just need Barker to sign on a perm first.
    Mature, sensible signature required for responsible position. Good prospects for the right candidate. Apply within.

    Each way might be worthwhile, but outright is not.
