Lakesiders bit of a betting anomaly

Cymru Premier

Still very much in the race to win the Cymru Premier title, Bala Town present a bit of an anomaly.

While Bet365 have them as 16-1 to pip The New Saints and Connah’s Quay Nomads to the title, on Oddschecker both Betfair and PaddyPower quote them at a far more generous 275-1… a staggering 17 times that price.

And it’s not even difficult to make a case for the Lakesiders, who take a well-earned rest from action this weekend due to the Welsh Cup quarter-finals, which sees both the Saints and Nomads in cup duty.

With only the league to focus on Bala are just three points behind TNS and seven behind Connah’s Quay.

And if Bala could put an end to the Nomads’ three-game league winning streak when the Cymru Premier action resumes on 6 March at Maes Tegid, they would be right in the mix as well, having further away fixtures against both the Saints and Nomads later in the campaign.

At 275-1 they could be worth a flutter, although the title is there for Connah’s Quay to lose, win six of their remaining seven games and there’s nothing the Lakesiders can do to prevent the inevitable. At the moment only Welsh Cup action is accessible on Betfair, will 275-1 still be on offer when the league action returns?
