Really how can they put out odds for promotion before clubs have finished their recruitment and what have wrexham done to have lower odds than we have.

Because they want to entice people to bet. And Wrexham are very likely to spend a lot more money than us. That obviously guarantees nothing and no doubt they pay a Wrexham tax for players these days, but it's reasonable to assume it gives them a better chance. Plus, odds at this stage are quite likely to be based on how many are backing a team (or expected to). Like it or not, I expect more people will be keen to jump on Wrexham rather than us.
I agree, however, that the odds themselves are fairly meaningless in terms of 24/25 prospects.

Neutrals Lifelong fans who have followed them through thick and thin and definitely aren’t jumping on the bandwagon at all will be betting on Wrexham, which lowers the odds. Fixed that for you.

Have Reading been taken over?
If not they’ll be nowhere near 5-1 being worth a penny

Matbot doing Matbot things but this could be us and now I'm not saying we should buy him or I know who he is or anything like that but I checked his stats out
24 years old Left footed cb who plays LCB in a 3 3 years experience in league 1 Has 1 year left on his deal Pye has no competition or back up
His stats do look decent and at 24 has room to grow but would someone like that limit pyes growth or be happy on the bench I don't know.

Rovrum odds are quite generous, Steve Evans is a perennial overeater achiever and has already made a handful of quality signings. They'd be favourites for me (at this stage)

They'd be favourites for me (at this stage) True plus they bounced back last time they came down without steve evans who is not everyone cup of tea but you cannot take his achievements away from him. Not having a great playing career has not hindered his years in football management either.

Odds at this stage of the season are one of the many ways of ensuring that remains the case.
