I know you understand it, I didn't mean to sound patronising. It's amazing how many people seem to accept that bookies somehow have greater knowledge though.
But it's just maths. They can work out who the favourites are, of course, that's why they then shorten the odds.
We can all tell when the likelihood of something is increasing, but even if the bookies felt something was a dead cert, if the maths somehow told them they'd make more money by going against it, then they would- because that's why they're in it, innit?
I hope so too.
It'll be the best tenner you've ever lost, imo.

It would be funny if it were actually funny.
But then, the audience seems to think Chris Evans is amusing.
They were so desperate for anything they have focused on this joke.
Look, it wasn't bad but the show format has always been making such comments. they tore into peirs morgan i remember.
For me it was mildly humorous. a nice play on words.... the first was real laughter the second line was forced.
Evans was on about the firs tbit of show being most exiting ever on top gear and how dramatic it must have been for the guy and scary and oh oh oh... and the reality was evans was still trying to one up old top gear in his head while the guy in the car has racing experience and was neve rout of control of the car. it was more of a look how great i am bit.
As i said on weekend clarkson and may were out on weekend saying vote remain.
We all remember the going over clarkson gave many a politician including two jags and ladyboy and darling.....
Look at the stare may is giving cameron.. **** hate...
I quote:
The presenter also said he felt there were “compelling” reasons for leaving but added: “They’re not compelling enough for me to say I want to drive a Morris Oxford, which is what would happen.” Jeremy Clarkson...
(and i'll be clear, when this ape is the voice of reason you know the world is upside down)
his times article: who knew....
'It's being billed by the media as some kind of personal heavyweight showdown between Bouncing Boris and Call Me Dave,' Mr Clarkson wrote, referring to the rivalry between the Prime Minister and Mayor of London, who are battling each other on opposing sides of the EU debate.
'Which would mean we'd have to choose between a man who has screwed up London's roads to indulge his love of a Victorian transport system. And a man whose wife we quite fancy,' the controversial presenter added.
Mr Clarkson, 55, admitted the EU had its problems but said they could be solved if leaders were held to account by the press in Britain, where 'an MP cannot even put a cup of coffee on expenses without being torn to pieces'.
'Isn't it better to stay in and try to make the damn thing work properly?' he asks. 'To create a United States of Europe that functions as well as the United States of America? With one army and one currency and one unifying set of values?'
Mr Clarkson's intervention will surprise many as he is known for his politically incorrect views and his disdain for the red tape generated by bureaucracies such as the EU.
He is part of David Cameron's 'Chipping Norton set' and once hinted he might stand for Parliament against Ed Miliband in his home town of Doncaster.
However it is not the first time he has expressed pro-EU views. He first called for a 'one currency, one army' Europe in a column in 2014.
'I long for a time when I think of myself as a European first and an Englishman second,' he wrote in June 2014. 'I crave a United States of Europe with one currency, one army and one type of plug.'

Thing is, like many of us I was brought up amongst people more effortlessly funny and witty than most professional comedians, and so I'm largely unimpressed by their efforts. Especially the yank-style pointing at the camera "look at me being funny" stuff.They were so desperate for anything they have focused on this joke.

Big turn-off for me, I'm afraid.
Clarkson is funny, but I have always had objections to his moral standing on a lot of things. I know some of it is part of an act, and I'm glad he's spoken out about Europe the way he has, though his USof E standpoint will alienate many.
PREMIER LEAGUE BOSS: 'Nobody bears the scars more than me of having to go and negotiate in Brussels'
Richard Scudamore, the executive chairman of the Premier League and one of the most powerful men in English football, has come out firmly against a Brexit in the EU referendum on June 23.
Speaking on BBC 5 Live, Scudamore claimed that his job had given him a lot of experience dealing with EU bureaucracy, saying "nobody bears the scars more than me of having to go out and negotiate in Brussels and try and organise things a little bit in our interests in terms of the European machine.
"We would just be, I think, respected less around the world for not wanting to be part of something."
He added that the point of the Premier League was that it was "open":
That doesn't seem to sit very well when you travel the world like we do being welcomed because of the fact that we are open for business, open for discussion, and open for cooperation. There is an openness about the Premier League which I think it would be completely incongruous if we were to take the opposite position.
Scudamore maintained that all 20 football clubs currently in the Premiership were totally against a Brexit. Last year research found that just 33.2% of starting players in the league were English, down from 35% in 2014.
The Premier League is the most-watched football league in the world, with revenues set to skyrocket over the next few years as revenues from lucrative TV rights are set to rise all over the world. Manchester United alone is valued at €2.9 billion (£2.2 billion; $3.2 billion) by accountancy firm KPMG, with new manager Jose Mourinho set to make a slew of foreign signings for the new season.
The EU referendum is still too close to call, though some polls suggest Remain has gained a slight edge in the past few days. For instance, a Survation poll for the Mail on Sunday gave the 'In' campaign a three-point lead.

I'd assume being called right wing, racist fascists might give them pause....
True.
As I said saying I don't like Brussels is what a lot say.
I have not seen too many... but I suppose all I'd need to do is go to general chat... racist fascists
Always said it was a weakness in the "Brexit camp"....it's not a homogeneous camp....it's several camps...one of which are xenophobic morons..
Remain can call for "unity" knowing Brexit can't do the same without an accusation they are cosying up with the scum of the earth....
It certainly does though seeing hesseltine Cameron and Mr grey himself major all on the stay camp... well... thank god for jeremy-clarkson
