I just logged onto my SportsBet account to see what price we are for a top six finish (I know, I know...).
Every other team in the league has a price against them apart from Rangers...betting suspended. Have we struck that much fear into the competition/bookies that they won't even offer a price?
I'm only looking to put a couple of $'s on as you just never know, so I think they should be able to cover that. |  | | |  |

is a bit mad. still a v high chance of relegation, even if Marti works some miracles. Top 6 is bonkers. I'd say top 12 is bonkers and out of reach weeks ago. |
Indeed. Still odds-on to go down with the bookies and we can easily lose against Hull, draw with Plymouth and lose the next two and people are bricking it again. The enthusiasm over two wins, one of which was very lucky, is misplaced but understandable given the form over a year. Chances are we aren’t going to be safe and we aren’t going to be adrift with a few games to go. | | | |

I felt 28 to 1 and 40 to 1 was a decent bet to get top half but its at a more realistic price now ie 12 to 1 but definitely feel got some value and not beyond the realms of possibilities ie around 40 points from 27 matches required.
I don't expect it though but hopefully we can give the bet at very least an outsiders value chance.
Top six is way beyond us and as said previously we need to perform for the rest of the season like a title winning outfit to achieve that.
If we started to do that by some kind of divine intervention then I would be putting aside a little wedge of dosh for promotion next year.
But am realistic about it, its a far outsiders punching chance. Its not beyond miraculous. But far enough away to have a fancy flutter !!! [Post edited 6 Dec 2023 17:27]

Doesn't hurt to dream a tiny bit. I bet many Nottingham Forest fans weren't thinking of play offs when they were rock bottom with four points from eight games when Cooper took over. |
Brilliant. There's always the one exceptional event that trashes the other 99% of data. Jim Carrey rules. |  |

Which is about right.
We are about one losing game away from needing 2 points a game for the rest of the season or, as it’s more commonly known, Champions form, just to reach the top 6.
It ain’t going to happen. |
Well, we did that in reverse last year. |  | | |

FWIW, I think the target is still what it was at the start of the season, i.e. finish outside the bottom three.
Where we now have an advantage is having a coach who is capable of helping us to achieve that, whilst having the opportunity to have a good look at what we have and what he will need to improve us next season.
Staying up and establishing an attractive playing style would make me very happy. |  | | |

I think you’ve all gone barmy.
We’ve won 2 games. We were very lucky to get the win v Stoke. We played well for 1 half of football and we are still 4 points away from safety. |  | | |

I’m not being a doom merchant. I’m not saying we’re definitely going down (I was saying that a few weeks ago) but now I think we’ve got a decent chance of staying up.
But come on now, if we saw a thread with some Huddersfield fans talking about putting on bets for a top 6 finish, we’d quite rightly rinse and ridicule them. And they’ve got a few more points than us. | | | |

Do I really think we'll finish top six...? Well, probably not, but I was checking the odds as I was enjoying the experience of optimism in relation to our prospects for the first time in a long time.
I was actually more surprised that SportsBet don't have a price for us to do it, while they do every other side in the Championship - I just checked again and they still don't.
I wonder why?
Also, there was a bit of the 'can you imagine if they did, and I didn't back them' going on. Not logic but emotion at work, which is why I only have a couple of $'s on at a time. | | | |

Whoa, hang on, are you saying that being completely bonkers is somehow a bad thing?
If so, I'm going to have to completely rethink my reasons for supporting QPR. | | | |

According to QPR news, Marti is the first QPR manager to get 8+ points in his first five games since Neil Warnock in 2010, which seems incredible if it's true. No wonder we've all been so depressed for so long. |  | | |

It's certainly the reason we don't believe in a new manager bounce! | | | |

I didn't say being barmy was a bad thing.
as they say in Alice in Wonderland "we're all mad here"
The Cheshire cat's clearly a QPR supporter, look he's wearing our old away kit.

Odds on promotion came down from 1000/1 to 250/1 after Hull. | | | |
| Betting suspended on a Top Six finish? on 06:15 - Dec 10 with 1813 views | BklynRanger |
Last night after a couple I opened an account with Sky Bet, stuck £20 on the playoffs at 200/1.
Daft but you never know. Covered that a bit by using the free £20 worth of bets on a top half finish, now at 8/1.
Hopefully this doesn't suck me into a life of gambling. |  | | |

Checked out my SportsBet account after reading this, and I'm scratching my head too. Rangers seem to have spooked the bookies – no odds for a top six finish! Is it just me, or does that scream confidence from the bookmakers? I'm not a big bettor, more like a casual few bucks for the thrill. Rangers are making waves, and it's intriguing to see how the odds are playing out. Wondering if anyone else is feeling the same? | | | |

Conclusive proof that the bookies ARE encouraging people to bet responsibly
Clearly they removed the play off odds to stop people who bet under the influence lumping on
(Apologies to Brooklyn — if you were “covering” your first £20 you should’ve put the second £20 on a bottom 6 or relegation finish)
Why three results that included a mad 10 mins versus Sjoke, a lucky win versus Hull (Begovic MoM) and a decent win at struggling at the time PNE gave anyone the indication world domination was ahead baffles me……. |  |

Very funny thread! It must be that everyone is so desperate for a bit of success that at the first sign and anything at all decent from Rangers they get carried away. I had a fair chunk on us to go down, sadly very confident I’ll be paid out. For us to beat the drop now we would need a huge turn around in form and pts per game. |  | | |

I made money on Middlesbrough away with. 13 to 2.
So put some on top half and then saw.500 to 1 £25 for top six.
So return on. £25 is £12500. Then we get one point out of nine.
Good bet Numpty :+!+!! | |
