Favourites on SkyBet to sign Rhodes.

This is gaining momentum, I can really see this happening now :guitar:

Ah they must have seen the Poll on here

Betting odds are unreliable for this kind of this - as we saw with the Michael Owen saga. A couple of people see the story on NSC, so they bet on the transfer happening. The bookies see a couple of bets come in, therefore the odds fall. People then use the sudden fall in odds as evidence that the transfer is a 'done' deal.

It is a self-perpetuating situation.

I can't help feeling this is not the player we want as unproven and we spent a load of money last season on an unproven striker at this level

Well from a reliable source who works at the club, it looks as though something is going on today.

Perhaps "something" is going on, but that doesn't particularly mean it would involve Rhodes.

I backed a horse once that was paying $1.20 the win.

It came last.

Odds mean little.

No, good point but a transfer in the next couple of days looks promising.

Those odds are bollocks anyway. They're missing the obvious one:


Portsmouth - evens

Betting odds on players/managers joining clubs are utter shite! Completely meaningless

With Bridge it wasn't, thats my point.

Rhodes is an unknown quantity at championship level like CMS we can't really afford another 1,2 bedding in seasons whilst he gets to grips with the different pace of the division and 5mill smackers is a lot of money to pay out

 

[Biscuit]

Whether it's bollocks or not, the idea of having Bridge, who picks out a Vicente run, who knocks it into the path of CMS who lifts the ball onto the head of Rhodes is simple mouthwatering.

What about all the Poyet to x club over the last few months? Not to mention Michael Owen being odds on to join us last summer.

 

[WhingForPresident]

If I put £20 on him signing for Crawley, they would become favourites. I really wouldn't go reading anything into this.

 

[saafend_seagull]

Owen was 1/4, what happened there?

Bet Victor anyone? Reading 2/5 on oddschecker/victor

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

All anyone needs to do is make a tenner bet on us to sign anyone and we would immediately be made favourites. Using odds to guess where a player is going to is pointless.

Better get your money on quick as it'll be 5:00 today right?

Agreed. This doesn't seem like a gem. Just a very expensive industrial diamond
