My guess is that the sad rags and dipper fans have lumped on.Just looked on Betfair to check that Liverpool at 13/10 are indeed the current favourites to win the league title. When checking relegation odds, found Liverpool @ 500/1 same as Arsenal. For some reason, Man City are 9/1 for relegation, around the same as Brentford, West Ham & Bournemouth. Do the bookmakers know something?

If you were totally convinced that something was inevitably going to happen and you could get 9/1 about it you would lump on.
Shrewd work from the bookies.

There’s no way a bookies would keep us at 500/1 with the threat of relegation being there.Just looked on Betfair to check that Liverpool at 13/10 are indeed the current favourites to win the league title.

If we were to get relegated and there was, say, £50k bet on us getting relegated across the country, they’d owe out £25m. There’s no way they’d take that chance, so they play safe and reduce the odds.

We've been priced fairly short in comparison to how we usually would (and how Liverpool, Arsenal are) since the odds were first released. It's been brought up before quite a bit on this thread, the current prices are very little to do with being backed in - I can't remember exactly what we started out at but from memory it wasn't any bigger than 15/1. So it's possible to some extent we've been backed in from 15s to 9s with various bookies, others still have us 12s, but again they will be adjusting their odds based on risk throughout too.
TL;DR, don't bother with them meantime. A complete red herring. Simply a case of bookmakers weighing up risk/reward accordingly.

It is to make the bet look attractive to punters. In reality we canbt be 'relegated' as such as the Premier League cannot order the Championship to take us. We can only be expelled from the PL which is not what they offer.
We can if they knock 50 points off us.
Fair point.We can if they knock 50 points off us.
