Tottenham have been tipped to be relegated from the Premier League next season.
Punters have backed Spurs for the drop under Ange Postecoglou next term.
It has been revealed by Betfair that only Luton Town have had more bets placed on them to go down than the North London outfit.
Spurs have been understandably priced at a huge 55/1 to be relegated.Â

But that unlikelihood of the scenario hasn't put people off gambling on the club losing its prestigious top-flight status under Postecoglou in his debut season as a Premier League manager.
Should the unthinkable happen, it would be the first time in over 40 years that Spurs would be relegated to the second tier of English football.Â
Not since 1977 have the club ever been out of the top division.Â
By contrast to Tottenham, Luton's odds for the drop are very short at 1/3.Â
Wolves, Everton, Sheffield United, and even Chelsea all clearly have plenty of doubters too, according to the data provided by Betfair.

It comes as Tottenham announced the signing of attacker Manor Solomon on a free transfer.
Spurs moved to bring former Fulham loanee Solomon to the club after he was able to cancel his deal with Shakhtar Donetsk.
The diminutive winger has agreed a five-year contract with Tottenham after he returned to the country from holiday last weekend and passed his medical on Monday.
Solomon was allowed to cancel his contract with Shakhtar and sign for Spurs after FIFA in May extended its temporary employment rules relating to the war in Ukraine.
Meanwhile, Celtic goalkeeper Conor Hazard has joined English Championship side Plymouth Argyle on a three-year deal.
The Northern Irishman, who played seven times competitively for the Hoops, was at the club for nine years.
He recently enjoyed a successful spell on loan at HJK Helsinki in Finland, where he lifted the title and played in the Europa League.
Hazard's most memorable Celtic moment came in the 2020 Scottish Cup final, where he saved two penalties as the club lifted the Quadruple Treble.
