Three-figure odds on a Baggies survival are proving too tempting for Oddschecker punters.
A win away at Newcastle on Saturday for West Brom means that Caretaker boss Darren Moore has now gained as many points in four games as Alan Pardew did in 18.
West Brom’s fate has looked certain for a while now, and although this is still likely to be too little too late, there is at least now some reason to be positive as a Baggies fan.
Mathematically, they can still stay up as they sit 5 points off safety, with 6 points still to play for. They would need to take maximum points at home to Spurs and away to Palace and then hope that the three teams above them fail to reach 35 points.
Considering the improving mood around the Hawthorns, odds of 500/1 on offer are proving too tempting for punters not to have a nibble. 64.3% of all bets on the ‘Premier League – To Stay Up‘ market have been on WBA in the last 24 hours.
West Brom really would need a miracle though - just one bookmaker on the Oddschecker grid is still taking bets on them to be relegated (1/100).
Oddschecker spokesman, George Elek 'No doubt Darren Moore has managed some great results in a short period of time, but the Baggies are surely doomed and if he does get the job permanently, he will be managing in the Championship next season.'
