8/1 does seem remarkably generous for a not poo poo Leicester side at home

If city win tonight feels like the league is wrapped up but I'm also mindful of peps greatest enemy, his own big baldy football brain, and his capacity to 3d chess himself out of a 9 point lead

The idea that the 29th of December is "a working day" is bullshit. There should be matches at 12, 3, 5 and 8 every day until the new year, I don't care if people would have to play several times a day.

Why do people always forget that betting odds are an indicator of nothing more than the opinions of a bunch of people dumb enough to be amused by Paddy Power adverts? I suppose at the very moment the book opens there's probably been some kind of stats looked at to set the price, but from that point on it's about as scientific as a Twitter poll.

sort of true but some markets, like the EPL, are extremely "efficient". which means that the closing price right before kickoff is generally very accurate in predicting the results, and there's not much room for bettors to profit--whatever bet they take. the premier league and the NFL are considered amongst the most efficient markets in the world

i recently heard about some guy who crushes 2nd divison soccer for 10%+ roi. thats a rare case. my pro sports bettor friends target low single digit ROI's, and some of them avoid NFL altogether becauase they dont even think they can achieve that there

no one gives a poo poo op, take your dumb gambling bullshit elsewhere. "professional gamblers" are without exemption terrible people who add nothing to society. it's bad enough that gambling is normalised in the UK and i guess the US, but there's no need to bring that poo poo into TRP.

Brentford get two good chances (one of them was a Dias bounding header backpass... thing) then Foden scores at the other end. This game sure is exciting at least
