Italian Odds Error?

[Hoggy]

From Skybet:

Siena (18th) v Lazio (3rd) - Lazio @ 6/1
Reggina (17th) v AC Milan (4th) - Milan @ 11/2
Parma (15th) v Empoli (7th) - Empoli @ 14/1

treble pays 681/1

BHABet are offering 9/2 against Milan and 11/1 against Empoli.

I smell a rat here - and I'm not talking about my sandalled feet.

...are you suggesting fixed fixtures in Italy, surely not!

 

[Hoggy]

i think its due to the fact both ac milan and lazio will definately finish 3rd/4th regardless of other results today, they are playing for third effectively. Whereas Siena and Reggina are both playing for their lives.

Not sure why or how Empoli are 14/1 as they could come 5th if they beat bottom half parma, who have nothing to play for.

Basically, if the Italian league wants to earn any reputation after events last season, it would be advisable that these games are played out seriously, unlike the Liverpool Fulham scenario where other teams critisized Benetiz for fielding a weakened side, however Liverpool had a champions league final to prepare for, AC milan and Lazio have nothing til August other than pre season!

Its unlikely to come in but it is the value that has sold my £1, and I also have £1 on each double!

10 quid on that treble... and i get 7k, surely thats not right

correct, it would be £6,810 - you tosser!!!

also I doubt they would pay you as it would undoubtably lead to an increase in rapings, shootings and paedophillia!
