Its NOW 2 responses you thick fucker and as I`ve pointed out to you its the punters who bet who will determine what odds the bookies will set, something which you clearly don`t understand.

Your correct I didn't have the best qualifications when I left school.
But we're favourites for a reason.
And it's not not just down to punters placing bets. CTID
Happy New year clever fella.
 
I work with a Newcastle fan. I told him to expect some funny decisions from now on and it looks like it may have started this weekend. Lump plenty on the Arse v. Newcastle as it suits the Red Bastards and handicaps us.

I'm fairly sure the bookie sets the fixed price, or starting price based on various stats. The amount wagered on other outcomes will then determine how that price then fluctuates.

City opened the season around 1/2 to win the league. Obviously that is largely due to us winning 4 of the last 5 leagues, and that there wasn't much in terms of competition this season.

The reality is that Arsenal are flying, so there will have been a lot of recent money on Arsenal, and the money on City has probably slowed down. Odds are now 4/5 City and 11/8 Arsenal.

The starting price isn't determined by the punters, but once the market opens the punters drive the price either way, but this is ultimately driven by results on the pitch.

Not necessarily. Betfair exchange pretty much dictates all fixed odds markets these days. Which in one way backs up what you’re saying. But so much money on Betfair is actually bets laid by big hitters and bookmakers themselves turning all options green, that it’s not that straightforward a conclusion.

Fucking hell you don't want much from a manager almost shown the door a year ago and a squad that finished 6th? Yes 6th!! And couldn't even get to a shitty UEFA final?
You have Pep to thank for what Arteta knows about the game.
God I hope we pip these jealous bitter letter writing hate filled self entitled twats with a deflection of Haalands arse in the dying seconds on the last day!!
Nothing personal mate;)

I think Arteta ‘almost got the sack’ in the media only. Don’t think the board ever considered dropping him.
