Book now 227% with Coppell out of the race ... Hope Powell is in at 50/1!

So who suggested her on here ?

What exactly does that mean? Sorry for being a dumbass but I don't do betting so I haven't a scooby what you're saying.

You would need to refer back to my earlier post!

But in summary -- for a book to be "true odds" it should add up to 100%. However the bookies have to make a profit, so they build in a margin. This margin will usually range from 8% for a football match to maybe 30% for a horse race (occasionally more). these would then be expressed as 108% books and 130% books.

The fact that VC is betting to over 200% means that EVERY SINGLE RUNNER is theroretically half the odds they should be so there is no value.

In otherwords, Tilson should be 5/1 for value; Poyet should be 12/1; Wise 14/1 etc.

Southend fans would be suicidal to see him leave is about as much as I've found out about the bloke.

f***! Of the frontrunners, I'd take Poyet. What do we really know about Tilson?

2 straight promotions, struggled to keep side in the champ, similar run to our 12 straight losses, plays attacking football, and has a very experience CB, who can also play LB, and seemingly loyal.

 

[saafend_seagull]

but expect Tilson to drop to about 16s, when they announce in 2 hours that they have paid their 2M.

Why would we want this one club Tilson guy? We had our version of him in Dean Wilkins - and promptly sacked him!

 

[Giraffe]

I can't help but feel these odds mean totally nothing in relation to who is likely to get the job. All it reflects is the betting, and that is probably largely based on rumours heard, on here and elsewhere. Therefore it is a circle with no reality.

What has Tilson really got that others haven't?
