Excitement for season tempered somewhat because I've just checked out some odds.
QPR to win at Tottenham 6/1
QPR to be relegated. Second favourites at 7/4 (joint with Palace)
QPR to finish bottom. 5/1 (bookies think we have more chance finishing bottom that beating Tottenham)
The bookies think we have a difficult and ultimately disappointing season ahead, despite new signings.
With this in mind, I am more than happy to finish 17th. |  | | |  |

certainly going to be a relegation battle but ultimately 16th je pense. |  | | |

Based on the facts QPR were awful in their last Premier League campaign and they are a newly promoted team who came up via the Playoffs. No big surprise really. |  | | |

Despite our loss against Hull I am feeling optimistic ( maybe 15th). I think we have a squad of players who want to play for the shirt unlike last time when we had players such as Boswinga and walking red cards such as Diakate. I am heartened by new signings and the return from injury of Faurlin. |  | | |

In Harry we trust.
I'm really pleased with our ins and outs this season.
Of course we won't be top 10, but us, Burnley and Leicester will be there along with Palace, west brom. West ham and Villa.
I missed last Saturdays match, first home match for years, but on highlights and other people on here I'm quietly confident at the mo!! |  | | |

The trick is not to take these odds in isolation, its about making a "book" that is going to make a profit.
Another way of looking at it, to cheer you up.
We are odds on to AVOID releagtion and odds against to go down, sooooooo we have more chance of staying up than going down - feel better now?  | | | |

I wonder if instead of getting zero points with pitiful and spineless performances, we'll get zero points with gutsy, determined but ultimately below standard fare. Based on decades of support, I foresee costly errors at key moments. Please let me, and the bookies, be totally wrong, starting with an easy 3-1 victory on Sunday (odds at 50-1). | | | |

Slightly, thanks.
Given that I predicted we wouldn't hold on to a playoff spot, wouldn't make the final, wouldn't beat Derby in a million years, I wouldn't read a word I type.

Impossible to even guess until the Remy question is answered.
I just hope we get a win in the next 3 games (Sunderland home the best bet) otherwise the press will start comparing to the last prem season under Hughes and the pressure will build... | | | |

last season Burnley were pre season favs to be relegated and ended up 2nd, so they dont always get it right. | | | |

A lot depends on how we (players, coaches, fans) handle losing. Because we will lose a lot of matches. If confidence and self-belief are strong in spite of that, then we'll probably survive. We were relegated last time with – on-paper – a better squad than we have now, but they never became a proper team. Everyone with a stake in the club has to make sure that doesn't happen this time. | | | |

+1
These odds reflect where money is going and trying to balance books. | |

Steve Bruce said after the Hull game that he was grateful to get his first win to set against his target of winning a game a month. The short premiership season makes it easy to get behind a hoped for points total.
These odds are making book, however they do reflect the reality of our ability to win games....the first win and draw will alter the odds....check out the fixture list, Steve Bruces target is not beyond QPR, which presumably is 37 and upwards points, ten wins and seven draws....how wrong are the bookies at this stage in the season? | | | |

5/1 isnt all that generous really, but a way to tempt people into parting with cash that hopefully they wont be getting back.
100/1 for Blackpool to win Championship anyone? (thats right innit?) |  | | |

I've never really completely understood odds. I think that is why I lose at online poker, even on the $1 tables...
as a very infrequent gambler, I wonder if someone can tell me, at 6-1 on a two horse race, isn't that worth backing? (or is it a three horse race to include the draw?)

Reminds me of when my brother and I convinced a R's fan near his eighties not to put on £5 for the R's to beat Chelsea at 8-1. Thanks SWP! (he took it well, we bought him a pint! - the bloke not SWP) | | | |

6-1 for us to win at Spurs is stingy considering we haven't done so for a gazillion years. |  |

Do seem short and cannot see there being big bets on us to win, small wagers from QPR fans punting with their heart rather than their head is about all.
Going to stick my neck out and have a small bet on a draw, 100/30 with my bookie, think HR is going to park the bus and Spuds maybe not in full stride just yet.
Also tempted by the 11/1 for a 0-0 scoreline, average around 7/1 for most games so a bit of value there in comparison to the outright win odds. |  | | |

It's difficult to second guess the manager, I was hoping for an attacking display, especially with some class at our disposal... We'll see. | | | |
