Zingari Posted 4 November 2011 Posted 4 November 2011 Yes indeed , bookmakers rarely get it wrong , but that doesn't mean that the favourite always wins . Even if a 100 to 1 outsider wins they haven't got anything wrong, because the odds are worked out to cover the outlay in this eventuality. And when the favourite wins then the same applies. bookies aren't gamblers , punters are

His price is up and down like a bride's nightie at the moment.
The Doctor Posted 4 November 2011 Posted 4 November 2011 bookmakers know no more than we do - i.e. **** all. The odds change to reflect what money people are putting on. I could go and put £200 on it being Gloria the tea-lady and her odds would become very short. Now stop taking bookies odds as if they mean something.
goose2010 Posted 4 November 2011 Posted 4 November 2011 MON was 25/1 with WillHill as late as midday yesterday. His price is up and down like a bride's nightie at the moment. i took him at 25/1 put a tenner on it next think was down to 5/1!
Buce Posted 4 November 2011 Posted 4 November 2011 I could go and put £200 on it being Gloria the tea-lady and her odds would become very short. Cool... did you get this from someone ITK? I'd better get my money on this before the odds tumble.
Saxondale Posted 4 November 2011 Posted 4 November 2011 Well bookmakers rarely get it wrong in as much as they will have almost laid odds of some sort on the eventually winner of any given contest?
Dobos Posted 4 November 2011 Posted 4 November 2011 Bookies win when the favourite loses. Bookies are rich, so take the favourites with a pinch of salt. It better not be Roy Keane anyways!!!
BIEREDeLuxe Posted 4 November 2011 Posted 4 November 2011 i took him at 25/1 put a tenner on it next think was down to 5/1! Ditto. Too good a price to miss IMO. Worth a punt.
Mythyaar Posted 4 November 2011 Posted 4 November 2011 Range of odds available for the favorites for the job: Roy Keane - 9/4 to 15/13 Mark Hughes - 7/2 to 2/1 Martin ONeill - 9/2 to 5/2 Nigel Pearson - 6/1 to 5/1 Billy Davies - 10/1 to 7/2 Ole Gunnar Solksjaer - 10/1 to 3/1 Not much in it really That is approximately a 150% book. Over round by 50% and not containing the option of betting on "anyone not named above" which if they were honest would be about an even money shot, making it a 200% book. Bearing in mind they have already taken money for Lee Clark at odds on (so the book becomes about 250%), the bookies have been cleaning up. A proper book for example in horse racing should only be over round by 20% tops ie 120%, so betting on the next football manager is the ultimate mugs game.You''re better off sinking your cash into a fruit machine! How much did they make on Pardew's appointment at Newcastle, or Keane's at Blackburn. Save your money folks, dont give it to the greedy and highly patronising (in that they assume all football fans to be simpleton easy touch mugs) bookmaking fraternity!
adam1 Posted 4 November 2011 Posted 4 November 2011 Bookmakers rarely get it wrong? Bookmakers prices reflect the market. Those with the most money on are going to be the shortest prices. Where the money goes the bookie is on. So the question the op set should be reworded to state: Punters rarely get it right.
NorthernFox Posted 4 November 2011 Posted 4 November 2011 Shortest prices currently: Pearson 8/13 Skybet Keane 11/10 Wm Hill Hughes 9/4 Bodog Mon 5/2 Bet 365 OGS 4/1 Bodog Davies 6/1 Lads Clark 7/1 Lads Hmmm
