Newcastle United might have only picked up a point in their entertaining 2-2 draw with Man City on Monday night, but the betting public saw enough to think that the Geordies will not be going down.
The Magpies got off to the worst possible start at St James' Park, going a goal and a man down after just 14 minutes with Habib Beye adjudged to have brought down Robinho when clean through on goal.
Beye was shown a straight red card before Robinho got back to his feet and dispatched the spot kick past Shay Given in the home goal.
But Newcastle fought back and a Shola Ameobi strike and a Richard Dunne own goal gave the home side a 2-1 lead - but they could not hold it and Stephen Ireland to leveled matters for City with just four minutes remaining.
Still, Newcastle were 7/2 but have been moved out to a best-price of 4/1 for the drop with VC Bet.
