North London Red Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 We're still only 5th favourites to go down, which surprised me given how many goals we've conceded so far this season. Paddy Power (and most of the other bookmakers) still have Preston, Portsmouth, Crystal Palace and S****horpe as more likely to go down than us, and Barnsley the same price as us.

Matty-H Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 The bookies don't set the odds based on what they think will happen. They are a reflection of where the money is being placed. Nothing more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InCider Posted October 5, 2010 Report Share Posted October 5, 2010 The bookies don't set the odds based on what they think will happen. They are a reflection of where the money is being placed. Nothing more Actually, it's a bit of both. Compilers will set figures for opening odds. You wouldn't get evens on Spain to beat Lithuania, if you put in a bet before anyone else.

Old Dazzler Posted October 5, 2010 Report Share Posted October 5, 2010 I would think the bookies would consider the financial position and resources of each club and feel we have a better chance than clubs like Palace/Pompey etc. in other words they are expecting us to buy our way out of trouble, one way or another. To be honest, with 36 games to go I would expect us to get out of trouble, but something will need to change pretty soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are a reflection of where the money is being placed. Nothing more For a market like this thats probably not the case. I would say it is the odds compilers opinion and then only if they saw an influx of money would they shortern it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Cider Ed Posted October 5, 2010 Report Share Posted October 5, 2010 The bookies don't set the odds based on what they think will happen. They are a reflection of where the money is being placed. Nothing more and i must add nearly every single event a bookmaker prices up is based on what they think will happen. Occasionaly they may shortern something a little because they know they will see money for it befofrehand (England, Man Utd, Kauto Star etc etc) but they cant shortern it too much or shrewd punters will pick them off on the other teams.
