Hibs' title odds plummet with the mercury

Hibs' title odds plummet with the mercury

HIBS' LADBROKES Championship odds are falling as fast as the temperature according to the league sponsors.

An avalanche of bets on the Hibees to land the title has forced the bookies to take evasive action, cutting the side to 9/2 from the 16/1 chalked up three weeks ago.

Following the weekend results a whopping 87% of bets on the Championship winner are for the Boys in Green, leaving Rangers to drift to 1/8 from the certain-looking 1/100 offered last month.

Fans who think Jason Cummings will fire his team to glory while landing the division's Golden Boot gong can take 16/1 he gets that double up this season.

David Macdonald of Ladbrokes said:"Only a few weeks ago we had punters pleading with us to pay out on Rangers but we're glad we kept the book open. Hibs are certainly heating things up while temperatures plummet and the betting suggests the Championship will go to the wire."
