    Why are Stoke considered better money to be promoted next season based on current events?

    Because betting odds are only an indication of probability, they’re influenced by betting activity too.
    Do you genuinely believe Sheff Weds are odds on for promotion based on football activity? Nope simply that thousands of deluded fans can’t accept they’re not going straight back up and the bookies have to offset the bets.

    Plus the fact they know Stoke are far more likely to cheat the system than we are.

    Because they’ll spend money again.

    You would think the bookies would enhance their odds and lure more suckers in.

    If I could find the odds for Wednesday to be relegated next season, I'd be seriously tempted to have a dabble.
