Correct and also on the amount of money being placed on the clubs which is naturally larger for those with bigger fan bases as it's odd to back one of your rivals.These always amuse me so early in the transfer window. Without knowing the squads, how can anyone predict? They seem based on club 'bigness' rather than much else!
The bigger clubs have bigger crowds, higher revenues, and normally a higher squad budget. It doesn't make much difference who they sign, if a club has a higher budget, it should perform better. Relegated clubs from the Championship typically end up in or near the play-offs if they have kept their squad together.These always amuse me so early in the transfer window.

Yes, of course the better resourced clubs are are more *likely* to perform better. But (although I have absolutely no interest in betting) I think I could have put that list together based on the size of the clubs together with a cursory look at the finishing table from last season. And (as M points out in his recap of last year's odds) it isn't going to be very accurate. But I guess the aim isn't to predict the league but to separate people from their money and the more supporters a club has the greater to pool of punters!The bigger clubs have bigger crowds, higher revenues, and normally a higher squad budget.

Interesting that we virtually performed as bookies predicted. Lincoln and Charlton though - ahem.It's certainly more difficult, doubt many would have had Gills and Donneh as fodder.
Lasts season's odds for interest:
7/1 - Sunderland, Ipswich
8/1 - Sheffield Wednesday
11/1 - Charlton, Wigan
12/1 - Lincoln, Portsmouth
14/1 - Rotherham
16/1 - Oxford
18/1 - Bolton, MK Dons, Wycombe

And Barnsley who seem to have financial issues.Agree with Ipswich and Wednesday as the favourites, but Derby next!?
Hey, good predictions, dude! I think you have to work as a bookmaker or run your own business, connected with bets! Anyway, I checked all the top sites from https://www.mightytips.com/bookmakers/uk-betting-sites/ and your predictions are much closer to mine and I hope they will be right. Have a bet already on something?
