[Albion] Man U are MASSIVE favourites this weekend..

[dwayne]

Come someone explain this one to me?

They have had one of the worst starts to the their campaign in years, have a mess of a team. Poor manager and poorly coached. Individually they are not that great and are playing a lot of fixtures at the moment, including one on Thursday.

In addition to this they have 8 points from 5 home games so not much to hold on to there either.

Yet......

Ladbrokes have a utd win at 4/7 and a Brighton win at a massive 5/1!!

I don't expect us to win but what am I missing here?

They’re Man United. We’re Brighton.

We could be 25 points ahead of them and they’d be favourites. That’s football for you.

The bookies know whose supporters are going to lay more bets, and know they can make a few quid

Maybe the bookies have been reading your posts, since Saturday's emphatic victory.

I get it but the numbers don't stack up for me.

I'm loving this season and think we've been great. No reason we can't get even better though.

The odds are a combination of how likely each event is and how much money is placed on each event. The odds in this case are probably reflecting the relative amounts of money placed (or expected to be placed) on each event more so than the actual chance.

Why complain? Those are great odds, slap a tenner on it and if we win. Quids in. We lose, well, the bookies were right.

They were slight favourites at Bournemouth on Saturday and I raised an eyebrow at that too.

5/1 is the worst price on the market, BTW - plenty of 11/2 about and some 6/1 in places too.

Probably a few quid to be made betting against man u all season.

Have we ever won there and how many top half teams have we beaten away since we got promoted? All very well having a team that play good football but we’ll we’ll remain underdogs until we actually win some away games against decent teams, even ones that are in shit form.

 

[dejavuatbtn]

Ask the Lizard.

 

[Raleigh Chopper]

What can you get for a 1-1 draw because that's what it's going to be.

 

[Jesus Gul]

Looking forward to the Leicester at home odds - should be some value there too

 

[AmexRuislip]

At least on MOTDX Sunday, we might have an ounce of a chance of punditry mindset.
Chappers will shit his pants if we beat Manure

Is this a spoof account, have I missed the slight miss spelling of dwayne somewhere?

Some posters do have a strange way of showing their support for the Albion.

Think GP will win the tactical battle just need the players to perform and we may get a win.

Wallpaper paste could win a tactical battle with Ole.



So yes I wholeheartedly agree.
