would have thought rovers would have been more favoured than that personally but would pretty much agree with the rest of it

Agree with you on that, surprised hulls odds haven't altered in the last few weeks however, 7/4 or 100/1 doesnt make it anymore likely, rather put £10 on 12/5 Hull KR(-6) Alternative handicap 2, Also on williamhill.

as much as it pains me to say it...swap Rovers and Hull and the list looks about right to me.

I think we are 5th favorites on reputation alone really, either that or the bookies know we have a top half back signed up!

so do i, i feel insulted by those odds but most of odds seem as expected?

This doesn't surprise me, Rovers have never been recognised, and are always put down by sources such as this.
This is maybe down to the stereotypical view of us still being the most recent 'promoted club'.
If we were two scores ahead with a minute remaining in the Grand Final, we still wouldn't be odds-on to finish it! Just the way it is.
Of course, this isn't always a bad thing, it's better to be out of the limelight.

C`mon on mate,according to Cab Man, Rovers are world famous.

Don't feel insulted have a bet!

Bookies work on historical data and the number of people likely to have a bet, hence England always being very low odds in a world cup.
If I was to have a bet I'd much rather us be 33/1 than 2/1. and at either odds I can't see us doing it. The betting for the CC is probably a better gauge as this is a lot easier for an outsider to win.

Gotta say that if you had a lot of money in the bank - the 4/7 on Rovers finishing in top 8 looks a steal. You can't not finish there. Like I say though, you need money to make money!

Bradford aside we are 7th favourites which is where we finished last year.

why bradford aside though,you are 8th favourite

totesport have us both at 33/1 along with Bradford today. WilliamHills are the same, 33/1 all 3.
bet365 have hull at 33/1 rovers are 40/1
sporting bet have hull at 28's rovers are 40's

so Hull are slight favorites then
