My mate who works in the city joined a group of lads who put 5k on harry to be Newcastle manager a few years back as they were told it was a done deal I reckon some of the Sky sports crew are working for the bookies.

I don't get your point? Are you trying to suggest I don't know how betting odds work?![]()
He sign for us yet Matth?
Have you just thrown a few Bob on Rooney to join Chelsea Drogs?
21:19Wayne Rooney’s odds on joining Chelsea this month have been trimmed from 6/1 to 4/1 as
the Blues are thought to have asked for the England striker to be involved in a deal that would see Juan Mata move to Manchester United. Mata is now 4/9 to join United this month.
No but I might do and then use my power of odds changing to suggest Rooney will be joining us

People flock to place bets when a story is released and the odds shorten due to the sudden influx of people placing money on that particular bet - which I'm assuming you already know! To suggest that a deal is likely due to happen to the odds a bookies are giving is absolutely ludicrous.

It really isn't ludicrous at all, what is the first thing you would do if you had some inside information on something happening? Sky sources are not the sources I'm talking about. Juan Mata has friends, his agent has friends, David Moyes has friends, and I'm sure there are countless other people involved, or that know from inside knowledge that a deal is likely, and they've probably gone down the bookies with a wheel barrow.
It's like on betfair (I assume you know how that works) A horse can just suddenly drift for an ante post race like the Derby, it might be 3/1 in the morning and then all of a sudden it's available at 25/1. Then a couple of days later you find out the horse has picked up an injury in training. So you then know that the stable staff, and other people who were in the know where on Betfair laying the horse for all they're worth knowing full well the horse was injured, before the injury becomes public news.
People that are having £5 and £10 on Mata moving, that are watching SSN do not move the markets. It's the serious players with thousands, that move the markets, and there is no one in there right mind that would bet serious money based on sky sources![]()

The plot thickens....
almost every paper is saying that we're close to signing him.

Do you not realise how many millions of idiots actually believe the papers and sky sports news? Of course it would move the markets.
