It is better to be a qpr fan than bolton: official

[neetoneeto]

It is easy to do a quick mathematical calculation to work out whether QPR or Bolton are more likely to be relegated, though of course the probabilities involved are subjective.
For QPR to be relegated, QPR must lose and Bolton must win, any other permutation would result in Bolton being relegated. So if we say the probability of QPR losing is 17/20 and Bolton winning is 7/20, then the probability of one event and the other event happening is 17/20 x 7/20 or 119/400, so much less than half.
Even if you say the probability of QPR losing is 19/20 and Bolton winning is 10/20, then still the probability of both events happening is 190/400, so still less than half.
In other words, from a probability point of view,it is much better right now to be a QPR fan. Put your money on the R' s.

the odd sunday

[Qprmeath]

I think every angle is covered now somewhere but still the only things that matter are the results of a match in Stoke and a match in Manchester on Sunday.

There's a saying, 'you don't see a bookie riding a bicycle'

And they have Bolton odds on to go down (another thread highlighted this)

Nice one for making the effort to settle nerves mate. Shows you care.

going on sky bet odds

a qpr loss and a bolton win is 13/64
a qpr win and a bolton loss is 21/1
a qpr draw and bolton win is 13/1
for us both to win its 91/4

of course this isnt taking scorelines into consideration

if we were to draw and bolton to make up the 8 goal deficit it would be 9600/1

the odds are in our favour but doesnt mean well stay up of course

ps i do get out this took me less than 10 minutes

Would love to get out, but with a 4-year-old and a 11-month old it's a rare occurrence. Sometimes allowed out on a Saturday afternoon for a couple of hours though...

QPR to win at 14/1 on Paddypower is the 2nd most popular football bet at the moment. Some people are nuts.

I remember coming back from Old Trafford, and maybe because the train was diverted,but it passed within spitting distance of the Britannia Stadium.That would be double punishment if things don't go according to plan.So it would be nice to pinch a point from City.Also we would be back in the good books of the FA as we helped Sir Chewy win the title.
