Bookies do get the outcome wrong on a regular basis though - they just make sure that they have covered that eventuality by recouping more money on the other losing bets. 

Thats obvious, they are always going to be in a win win situation. If the favourite don't win, all the money bets on them become their cash. You will always get some die hard fan betting on their team early in the season when the odds are 100/1 or more and they will lose their money. But to say they get it wrong regularly is a bit off the mark. How many bookies go into liquidation, very few, the last big name was 666bet who went under in 2015 and most of that was linked to their online casino betting (not sporting odds). Bet365 owner Denise Coates in March this year paid herself for the 12 month period £421M. Oh and on top of that she got her company's bonus for the year of £48M. Bet365 mainly make most of their monies from people who make stupid bets. They were started by Denise only 21 years ago in a portacabin office in Stoke.

Denise Coates is the daughter of Peter Coates who is current owner and chairman of Stoke City. I just hope no Derby fan has bet on Rotherham staying up this season with Bet365, because when they go down, you are putting monies into Stoke City.

I go from feeling confident we will stay up to then feeling like we will go down.

I feel confident because despite our form we have played pretty well in our last 3 games. Also, Rotherham & Sheff W have done as bad as us over the last 10 games so it would take a huge turnaround from both of them compared to what they have produced so far this season as well as us to continue to be poor.

But then I think we have a few injuries, hopefully Clarke, Byrne & Waggy are back for the Blackburn/Preston games. I also think Rotherham have 4 home games in a row so will that work in their favour or will the quick turnaround in games be too much for them? Sheff W have 3 home games in a row too. Plus both Roth & Sheff W have Boro to play so we know we can never rely on them for any favours! Also, we're Derby County so we can never make life easy for ourselves.

I really hope these midweek games go in our favour and we can pick up some points from our next 2 games. Come next midweek when Rotherham have played their 4 home games in a row, 2 of which are games in hand and also 2 of which are vs teams around us in Cov & Birmingham we will have a much clearer picture of whats needed with us having 3 games left. Lets hope we can match or better both Roth (4) & Sheff W (3) points total in less (2) games.

Cmon Derby, lets get some points these next 2 games and try and get ourselves safe so we can start to look forward to the takeover, the summer & next season. Less than a month left, 2 more wins thats all we realistically need, its not beyond this team so come on!!!

Given the fixtures (at home) I don't think it's very unlikely they'll put up a points tally around that area. They've just shown they can put together that kind of form so there is no reason to think they can't replicate it. 

So you’re saying that if someone scores a hole in one in golf, there’s no reason to believe they can’t replicate that on the next hole, and the one after that?

Norman Manley scored 59 holes in one. Tiger Woods has 20. 

Kim jong-il shot 38 under, including 11 holes-in-one, at the 7,700-yard championship course at Pyongyang in the VERY FIRST golf round of his life, according to North Korean state media. This was in 1994, when Kim was 52 years old.

Wendy have goalie competency problems yet again.  Darren has a decision to make

now referred to as their 'week of death'.  Warne is saying that he will need to rotate the squad to cope with the demands this week.  Olosunde is a doubt after being injured last time out

 

All the games with different start times.  Rovrum will know the lie of the land long before it ends

No, because a hole in one is a one off event that might happen once or twice in someone's life if they play golf for years, not a run in form that can be expected consistently.  Putting together a run of points of 8 in 5 after they have just got 7 from 5 is akin to if they've had a run of 4 holes and and got to -1 then in the next 5 they can maybe get to -2 or -3.
