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...

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

253% now ... better ... but still got a long way to go before any value starts to appear

just back from a brief trip to Germany - now notice that the book is 302% - this is getting a tad ridiculous Victor!

the true part is that they would not take that bet ... on ANYONE (they would even knock you back if you tried to place it on Mr Blobby!)

^^^ Yeh but Bozza has already laid the maximum on Coppell that VC will allow .. hence they will knock back any further attempts. Looks like Bozza's wife will need to place a bet ;)

a new day breaks - Coppell is Evens and the book is 283%+ !!!

plus the even smarter people realise that every bet over a certain return has to be manually approved - and they don't to tie up the nighttime skeleton staff taking poxy bets on the next Brighton manager!

sol campbell as player manager might be more believable !

To be honest it might only be £10, but the fact that someone has considered him deeply enough to want to put a bet oin when he wasn't listed means that they would tend to err on the side of caution. They certainly would not have laid >£50 at that price ... unless it was from one of their...

quite simply, someone would have asked asked for a quote on him! It is often quite significant (from the bookiers perspective) when they get someone asking for odds about an unquoted candidate as it leasds to questions like you have just asked ... does the punter know anything? Usually they...

just taken another look - with the additions of Adkins, Thordarson, Ternant, plus no lengthening of odds anywhere else, the book is now up to 277%!

Not true actually. Victor Chandler are currently pricing up the book at an incredible 253% ... and to be honest it is actually greater than that as there may be candidates unlisted. There can only be one winner, and there is a 100% chance of that happening .. meaning that they are building in...

As someone who regularly participates in these markets (not Albion related ones of course!) I would take these stories with a pinch of salt. The only punter likely to get this size bet on would be someone who the bookies have noted as a complete mug punter, The bigger Bookmakers are...

I would be surprised if you could get more than £100 on anyone. The Bookies do these markets for fun bets - any decent wager is scaled back dramatically

hamstring tweak - being assessed in the morning -- hopefully they pulled him off in time to avoid a tear

Yes he is

yes - starting for the Gas, as does Mikkel Andersen

yes - noticed that when the fly was squashed by one of the "scripts" :)

almost had to wipe away a tear ;)
