I ask because if you do you will likely understand that bookies play the mug punter like a cheap fiddle.
If you want to 'convince' a bloke with no info to part with his cash simply create movement in the market even if no money has been placed and bobs your uncle a few pillocks will jump on in the hope of catching a bit of the action.
Lets also not forget that SkyBet are actively promoting that market right now which would generate further revenue. Are they doing that because they know Mancini is safe and every penny wagered is profit ro because they like to pay out?
You decide.

As you say, If you put £300 on at 1/3 you win a £100 not bad, but you are encouraged to put on a bigger stake for a reasonable return, giving that the odds are almost a sure thing.OB1 said:fbloke said:Do you gamble at all?

No I don't bet.
By going odds on, how are the bookies going to generate bets, are they trying to push people into the lengthening odds on other people?
Or are they trying to encourage people to think backing MP is free money?
