Black Cats Continue to Cause Carnage!

Bookmakers have been running for cover in recent weeks as the Sunderland steam train shows no sign of stopping! Their latest victory, a 2-0 win at Barnsley, meant another bumper pay-out from the likes of Sporting Odds and Paddy Power who had gone a best price of even money about the Black Cats leading up to the match. It's been an amazing turnaround from Roy Keane's men who conspired to lose their opening four matches this season. Despite this, they are no bigger than 11/4 (Blue Square) to win this season's Championship and are now just four points behind leaders Birmingham. The Blues are still market leaders but there's not been too much money for them despite Friday's 1-0 defeat of Derby and they're still available at 7/4 (Ladbrokes). The Rams have drifted to 4/1 (VC Bet) for the title and are starting to wobble at this crucial stage. Meanwhile, West Brom drifted to 12/1 (Ladbrokes) to win the Championship after a 1-0 defeat to Wolves. The Molineux men have now leapfrogged their arch-rivals and can be backed at 16/1 (VC Bet) to shock everyone and finish top of the pile. At the other end of the table, Leeds remain odds-on (8/13 Coral) to be relegated to League One, despite a 1-0 win over Luton. It looks like three from six to go down from the Championship, with Luton (4/5 Stan James) and Southend (4/6 Coral) favourites for the drop alongside Leeds. The other teams in the battle to stay up are Hull (13/10 bet365), QPR (11/10 Coral) and Barnsley (6/5 Stan James). In the next few weeks, there'll be plenty of twists and turns at both ends of the table - where's your money going?
