Being a little thick can anyone tell me what has got to happen for Leyton Orient to stay up.
I repeat stay up (not worried about other teams).

Its probably advantageous to have more points than the bottom 2 teams

I repeat stay up (not worried about other teams).
Stevenage can reach 58 points
Oldham can reach 55 points
Barrow can reach 61 points

We have 46 points and can get to 67 pts

As we & those below wont win all remaining games
We then need the others to lose 4 more games or we win a couple & they lose a couple.

To be GUARANTEED survival we need 10 more points, that said If we lost every game left, I suspect we have enough points already to survive.

The cash out option on my £10 Orient to go down bet is currently showing as 7 pence

I think that tells you all you need to know about our chances of being relegated are....

When I put it on we were 66/1. £660 would've numbed the pain (a little). It's not betting against your own lot, I see it as an insurance policy. More than happy to lose that tenner.

I see your point but that is how these Bookies draw you in.
I like a bet but that is not for me, we are all different.

I actually liked the season we went up as we looked good!
Liked a few of the away games too as never been those areas. The lower league fans were passionate about their Clubs which made it ‘real football’. Some fans i me were obsessed! At times , I went in the home fans section as the bogs were better and refreshments better. I had to bite my lip when we scored of course!

We cannot finish below Scunthorpe. To absolutely guarantee our survival we need to win all our remaining games - but that assumes that teams like Oldham and Stevenage will win also all their remaining games. I'm sure other sides won't be as generous to Oldham as we were, and Stevenage are looking pretty dire.

So we need 67 points to guarantee staying up. I think 46 is safe.

The point of the bet was in the horrific case of us being relegated I would at least pick up £670 , I ain’t bothered about the tenner and certainly not bothered about cashing out at any point. Pleased it never came to that......
