Have the bookies got it SO wrong?

I cannot believe that Chelsea are still favourites to win the title this season. My bookmaker has them at 11/8, Man U 6/4 and Arsenal 11/4. Surely, Arsenal are a decent bet with the problems (and the difficult run-in) Chelsea have. I had a small wager on Arsenal at 9/1 a couple of weeks ago, which seemed a huge price for a team in what is basically a three-horse race. I think I could be collecting come May 9th.

Bookies Make a Book,ie They take bets and the Money wagered makes the Odds.

who top? Who's 2nd? Who's 3rd?

Then look at the run in its what the bookies do if Arsenal were top they would be favorites, its the way it works.

Never seen a poor bookie.
