Lionel Messi | Joins Inter Miami (pg4111)

[BlueBlood84]

As expected all the press saying messi staying at Barca. Lol

if he does he will make him self look like a total knob to world football.

would love him at city this season but we walk away for good if he stays at Barca.

either way it’s a sad way for the greatest player to end his career

Whatever happens all of this will be a distant memory once the season starts. Mostly press bollocks anyway.
If he comes to City people will understand why, if he stays at Barca he'll be forgiven mid announcement.

 

[not my fault!]

1000/1 to join Hibs... Just as likely as staying at Barça at the moment lol.

What makes the odds change bud?

Usually a substantial bet on one outcome or they have got a heads up from someone on the inside.

 

[B\connellblue]

The odds are driven by pure speculation.

That's not entirely true. To say the bookies don't have some inside info is being a bit naive. Sure they get it wrong sometimes but by and large they have a bit more knowledge than the ordinary Joe soap. Will watch it closely today to see if there is any seismic shift.

No. the mere act of asking for it, writes ths bonus off, whether the club let hom go or refuse to.

The problem being possibly the reports that this was already part paid over the course of his contract. Does Messi owe them money...?

You are bartomeu's date police and i claim my £5.

We were banned until the result on 13th July exonerating us...

The bookies know fuck all.

The odds are initially placed on the balance of probability then shift based on where the punters lump their money.

They have absolutely no knowledge or inside information on transfers.

Can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not but for those who genuinely believe this (there are a few):

Odds are determined by the betting public, the bookies have no inside knowledge.

Should I add a winking face next time? Re-read my post but say the first word in a really sarcastic way. That will answer your question. ;)

I found out the hard way putting money on Sanchez coming to City. I basically thought it was free money... never betting on a transfer again!

Anything can happen literally its a minefield.

They never know fuckall. Like said, speculation makes people put money on. Bookies just change the odds to cover their arses. That's why they never lose.
