I've just started to look at the betting on our friendies, and have made a easy bit of money as the bookies seem to be very generous on us! Against Sutton we were 10/11 and today for us to win both halfs at 5/6! Was wondering if anyone else bets on us?

Not the friendlies but always the league games. Usually a clutch of correct score bets.

Although I still think you can sometimes get an advantage with some of the lower league games. It's the prem and top games where the bookies are really clued up! |

Yeah very true, especially when for example we know the team is playing bad but scraping wins we could easily lose, but all the bookies see are what league table is and form! And vice versa |

Yeah... see my thread 'odds for Sutton'
Couldn't find any odds for tonight although I didn't look further than Skybet.
Got 10/11 to beat Sutton and 21/20 to be winning at half time last night.
I think normally with friendlies you are prone to lots of changes, mixed teams, youth players, trialists etc which all adds to the unpredictability. Although we have some of those true for us, the fact that we have treated every game with a lot of respect in terms of personell and few subs it means we're treating it more like a 'proper match' and with onle 3-4 subs coming on, the continuity isn't necessarily lost so much after 60 mins than if a new 7 players come on which is often the norm.
I think these first 4 games have been a fresh and novel way to start a pre season and I comment DC in his approach.

It'll be interesting to see what odds we are against "Arsenal" on Saturday.
If we're over 2/1 I shall be getting on.
