    Tell it to the bookies when you next see them. So in about 12 minutes right?

    What balancing is needed if we don't have a chance?

    If they know we have no chance, surely you offer even better odds to entice people to make more bets on it and guarantees the bookies free cash no <whistle>

    Yep, maybe he should learn how bookies work since he dumps so much of his money there

    His "short odds mean it can't happen" technique is probably costing him a lot

    Maybe you should love. They work on a balanced book I.e. Whatever the outcome they win. If they take a load of money on one outcome e.g. The RS then they'll shorten the odds to discourage further bets and make the alternatives more appealing. Cockspanner.

    So this shortening effect can be so large as to make something that can't happen become 2nd favourite to happen?

    Seems #legit

    However kopites opinion backed by their cash are.

    Put your money down the love.

    Let's get your betting thread going. I'll put any amount you like down, that you won't win the EL this season, want to take it?

    If you want to give me random chance odds i.e. 48-1 then sure (or 47-1)

    That's fair according to your opinion right?

    Bookies give about 16-1

    So we can split the difference and do 32-1

    Is that based on some cover bet you've found for yourself?

    Is this charity or to each other?

  20. Well, those groups fail in the excitement ranks! All groups are fairly easy to predict and all four English clubs should progress without too much trouble.
