Craig Posted 13 October 2004 Author Posted 13 October 2004 Strange. 26357[/snapback] Might be something of nothing, but do they know something that no-one else knows?
Ric Flair Posted 13 October 2004 Posted 13 October 2004 Well either someone or some people have lumped a huge amount on a particluar person and the bookies can't afford to keep the bet open just incase this person gets appointed and more money is staked on. Or they know something we don't and someone is about to be appointed, does seem odd. Not sure if this happens all the time in the managerial race, it's a precarious position for bookies to be in as it's a strange bet something that inside info can ruin for the bookies.

And what would happen if a lot of people stacked a bag of sand on one particular manager, would they brick theirselves?
