Don't generally bet at odds on but it's hard not to view backing Rovers as an 8-month investment scheme paying 83% interest tax free. Sligo are the only threat I'd see and I think they're weaker than last year. However flukily they may have achieved it, you'd have to think winning the league last year will lessen the chances of them planking it again on the run in. It does look like buying money. Opinions? Gambling ones only please, spare us your moral outrage and "I'm such a great Pats fan I couldn't back them" bolloxology.
