I might have a go at this one. I'm thinking Rotherham, MK Dung and .....? Not sure about the third one, any thoughts?

Eh? Surely you could just put a £1 on 30 more then likely combinations. Easy money.

Bolton are my favourites to do a Blackpool this season, due to their cash flow problems and not being able to retain key players. I know they have a good manager for the league, but so did Wigan and Millwall.
As much as I dislike MK Dons, I think they'll stay up, along with Preston and Bristol.
Perhaps Rotherham, but more likely Brighton and maybe Burnley, as they're losing key players and they weren't that strong to begin with...they might fall straight through the league like Wolves first time and Wigan.
So:
Burnley
Brighton
Bolton

You just have to name the 3 that get relegated, not the order they finish in. Still that high? I'm not talking about the whole league either, just the most likely candidates for relegation. |

Once knew someone who put a £1 win on every horse running in the grand national.. The winner was about 8/1 that year, but he was still happy as Larry he had a winning bet. Think he went on to work for HSBC, I kid you not.. |

I'm not talking about the whole league either, just the most likely candidates for relegation. Even if you did every possible combination of just 6 clubs it would still cost you £216 to win your £150, bookies are not daft. Perhaps your best chance would be to go for two bankers, plus a third from 12 others. That way you spend £12 for your possible return of £150. The trouble is this league is always so very unpredictable. |

I think MK will do well to be honest. They scored for fun last season & have a stable infrastructure at the club & increasingly growing local fanbase.
Interestingly the article on the Examiner about them recently seemed a bit confused about their history. It claimed this was the first time in their history they had been at this level but then described our record in 30 previous meetings against them.

Any combination of three that doesn't include Town is perfectly fine by me, though L666s would be my preferential choice.

As long as you pick the right six clubs that is.. |

As long as you pick the right six clubs that is.. Or 35 bets for seven clubs, and 56 bets for eight clubs.. So pick the correct three from a combination of eight and you'd be more or less trebling your money. But you'd probably be suffering from writers cramp after you'd wrote them all out.. |

Preston
Leeds
Rotherham
Can see MK & Bristol doing ok.
I think it's going to be like the first year back next year in regards to points needed as any 3 from probably 12 could could go.

It's impossible to predict anything this early into pre season. Will have to wait a couple of months before making any informed predictions.

But still, nobody expected that to happen to Wigan and Blackpool this year. |

Rotherham, Preston and Brentford for relegation.
Wolves to win the league.
And also, doesn't the overall price depend which three teams you name?
There are some combinations that are nowhere near 150/1 surely, and some that are much bigger??
