The Title Race - 2021/22

Bookies wouldn't exist in the first place if football were more predictable than it is.

I know I'm being pedantic but bookies existed long before football did.

They wouldn't have existed if horse racing was more predictable though.

So the dippers are allowed to be guaranteed to win but we aren't?
Sound logic!

It is the best defensive mechanism to assume they will win both games, that said I suspect that they will win both matches easily.

Don't assume anything, it makes an ass out of you & me.

In horse racing terms we might prevail and win the league by a neck or a short head, after being 4 lengths clear, but we’re carrying more weight in handicap terms with Var and the media all in love with the dippers.

Everton away and United at home are significantly easier fixtures than Arsenal away and West Ham at home.

There's more chance Liverpool would drop points in their two games compared to ours.

I'm not sure about that

Maths is not your strong side.

Why? If they beat us then we will be level on points but they have a better goal difference. So if we both win all remaining points then it will be down to goal difference!

yes thats a big fear and why we should have taken the point last weekend when we equalised

Yes they would. Games in a casino for example are very predictable, hence the house always winning in the long term. The bookies aren’t betting on a particular outcome, the odds are calculated to give them a profit margin whatever the outcome.

Not If the fav always won !
