    Just seen we are now 1/4 on with Bet Victor and 1/3 on with SkyBet to sign Austin before kick-off.

    Something happening?

    Yeah but it has to be serious money to effect the odds

    Not really, it just takes no-one else to bet on the others.

    It depends what you class as serious money, I guess he means a few hundred, maybe a grand or two.

    some bookies even put up overly short 'player to sign' markets for free advertising in the the hope one of the red-tops or betting sites mentions their markets.

    I suppose it has to be "serious money" (to be a twat and quote myself) in proportion to the total amount laid, which i guess isn't a lot on these types of markets unless you have inside knowledge

    I suspect the money placed on these bets is fairly small, hence my suggestion that it wouldn't take much to swing the odds.

    I'm no expert, I'm just guessing.

    Why? Not because I disagree, just wanted to know your reasoning?

    Now that would be nice but the first 2 will do for starters. £8m plus add ons for the pair could do it.? "cityshark" on twitter has the Austin deal well on the way.

    Seems a pretty insignificant market then.

    If you spend money to mess up the odds you've still got to make the right bet to win!

    Normally, when you place bets to try and change odds its because you are laying other options or maneuvering for arbs. It's relatively simple to do on an exchange if the market value is within your range. Winning is not relevant to that practise. Bookies and big gamblers just do it with far larger bankrolls.

    Mannone

    Davies Chester Figueroa
    Elmo Bridcutt Boyd Meyler Brady
    Aluko Austin

    All within the realms of possibility without breaking the bank......

    Throw in a couple more tasty signings and a couple of quality loans from one of the big 3 and I think we'd all be happy.

    Boyd has been cack in midfield, far rather have Quinn in there and we haven't been heavily linked with Mannone or Bridcutt but agree that'd be a decent team.
