ian1964 10,457 Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Bookies suspend betting on Rangers being RELEGATED and claim it’s due to rumours of Ibrox side facing administration Oddschecker confirmed punters had been lumping on Graeme Murty's side going down this season and said it was because of rumours of fresh financial trouble at Ibrox BOOKIES have suspended betting on Rangers being RELEGATED amid supposed rumours of the club facing administration. Oddschecker confirmed punters have lumped their money on Gers going down this season – the odds going from 5000/1 yesterday to just 500/1 in the space of 24 hours. And the company claim it’s due to supposed rumours of the Ibrox club facing fresh financial troubles. The bookie also confirmed that of all the bets placed on their “to finish bottom of the league” markets, a staggering 94 per cent were on Rangers. Graeme Murty’s men are currently in third place in the Premiership table, 23 points ahead of last-placed Ross County. But that hasn’t deterred the punters. Oddschecker spokesman George Elek said: “Here at Oddschecker we’ve seen a huge spike in bets on Rangers to finish bottom, a ridiculous bet when you consider how far off the drop they are. “However, with rumours starting to circulate on social media, and bookmakers suspending markets, it is easy to see how the story is starting to gather pace. “We’ve seen an abnormally massive amount of bets on Rangers to be relegated today, with punters piling in on the massive price of 5000/1. “So much so, that bookmakers will no longer take bets on Murty’s team finishing bottom of the league – despite being a whopping 23 points off of it. “To call it a strange would be an understatement, and Oddschecker sources have confirmed the unusual activity in the betting for Rangers to be relegated, similar to the circumstances the club faced first time around with their financial struggles.” Rangers have declined to comment on the claims.

Gribz 743 Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Is oddchecker a bookie? I thought they just assembled various odds. Not sure what to make of it though. One punter can lump a heep on in hope and if affects all odds. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cooponthewing 1,139 Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 There was talk of this on Clyde SSB tonight with a moonhowler questioning DJ and Wishart. They were adamant they knew nothing of this but wishart did say he had heard rumours for a while. Its no secret we are skint and I also think this is another carefully planned attack to keep us toxic. Compliant MSM in on the act with Liewell. However, it’s obvious we don’t have any money. Administration seems like Yahoos wiping the bed sheets again! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

scotjo 19 Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 A load of pee, even to consider it a 15 pt deduction would still have us in the top 6 in this joke league. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waltersgotstyle 297 Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 (edited) Rangers really need to issue a statement on this. These kind of headlines/rumours will slowly chip away at our reputation. Edited January 9, 2018 by Waltersgotstyle 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
