Motherwell are only 9 / 1 to win next season's SPL, with a handicap of 48 points !
Like other sides in the SPL outwith the Old Firm Motherwell don't have a realistic chance of winning the Championship so the bookies have resorted to the handicap league betting.

Every team has odds of 9 / 1 -
Aberdeen + 44 points
Celtic - 0
Dundee + 48 points
Dundee United + 43 points
Dunfermline + 43 points
Hearts + 35 points
Hibs + 45 points
Inverness + 57 points
Kilmarnock + 48 points
Livingston + 53 points
Motherwell + 48 points
Rangers + 5 points
