I didn't realize that winning more than Newcastle is the qualification for completing Football. Did we issue certificates ?? Oh I am very sorry Old Timer! I didn't realise you were correcting the original poster's grammar. I thought you were knocking our club's achievements. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Ric Flair Posted 12 June Popular Post Share Posted 12 June Might have been a coincidence but out of us, Leeds and Southampton we appointed our manager swiftly and hit the ground running. Leeds were an abomination all summer and it was no surprise they struggled initially. I really hope this gets resolved within the next 7-10 days. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chelmofox Posted 12 June Share Posted 12 June (edited) Don't want to be that person who refers to betting odds, but i always feel the betfair exchange is the best guide, although at low liquidity it can throw out false positives. Anyway, the market just shifted and a chunk of cash got matched. You can lay nearly £300 on Potter at 2.74 and can't back him for any decent odds. Cooper definitely drifted on the exchange and there is no decent cash to lay. Edited 12 June by Chelmofox 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramboacdc Posted 12 June Share Posted 12 June If I had the money I would do what someone else keeps referring to in here and stick a tenner on Harry Kewell just to watch the odds fly in. 8 minutes ago, Chelmofox said: Don't want to be that person who refers to betting odds, but i always feel the betfair exchange is the best guide, although at low liquidity it can throw out false positives.

Sol thewall Bamba Posted 12 June Share Posted 12 June I think it'll be difficult to nail Potter down before the end of the Euros. Especially with Southgate basically saying he's off if we don't win it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it suggesting that more people have backed Potter NOT to get the job? I wouldn't read anything into it right now, it was just i haven't seen much change at the Betfair exchange for a while. The Betfair exchange works different to a high street bookies. Account holders can offer both back odds (like you see at a bookies) or 'lay odds' which means you can bet against the outcome. Most of the bookies have automated systems that allow them to 'balance' they own betting markets with betfair, hence why i think it's a good indication of what is going on as it amalgamates lots of bookies activity. What it shows me is that account holders (or automated systems) have taken the reasonable offers on Potter. A lump of cash to lay indicates thats a level some bookies may be happy to balance their book at. Our market still has really low liquidity so i think its all up in the air. The Brighton manager market (although pretty much set in stone) has matched 36k. One thing to bare in mind is that, relatively speaking, very little gets bet on Manager markets. Even once Enzo was nailed on at Chelsea not a huge amount was matched at Betfair. 3k has been matched in the Leicester manager market but 3.6 million has been matched in the winners of the Euro's market.
