Bookies odds are essentially set by what the punters will bet on. So you are asserting that the average punter has better insight than whoever performed that analysis. Another example of undervaluing expertise?

Well, that's just unnecessary! <laugh> Brutal way to stamp the 5-0 in.

I think you have to applaud Southgate's trolling, to be honest. Picks 17 right-backs, then plays a centre-half there. <applause>

Can anyone explain the logic of playing players not in the squad in the last warm-up game?

Gives him an opportunity to have a look at them in a friendly. Hasn't been that many of them for the national sides this year, IIRC.
He may also wish to protect/rest some of the squad after a long season.

Perhaps the incumbent large bookies do kindred analysis,
and then use the probabilities as an input to a function F
which generates the initial odds.


"Convert those percentages into odds and there's some damn good bets"

State your function F,, so that we can see what initial odds you
would generate for the previously stated probabilities.
 
Is Sancho being booed?
Edit: No, it was Rashford.
