As we fans from INDIA have high respect toward Roberto Mancini for bringing M.City as a great team that can fight for the Title. When I started following City, I heard several bad things about M.City’s attitude, Money power, egos but had a very confident hope that M.City will grow as a TOP with an authoritative leader in charge. With the arrival of Mancini, M.City investment proved its worth. He fine tuned M.City team into a Winning team.
Me being an optimistic fan, I am still confident that M.City will fight till the end for the title chase and win the PL title first time after 4 decades. We trust Mancini enormously that he can bring M.City to great height if he is the Manager for next 3 years. Kindly be wise in transfer market and scout very well so that we recruit cheap & the best player as possible. Kindly use academy players more and loan as much as you could .so that they gain experience more. True M.City fan.

Either I don't understand betting odds, or you don't.
Surely 4/1 means a 1 in 4 chance? 4 goes, win 1 of them? Not 5 goes to win 1. Isn't that 5/1?

I have never read such a load of complete and utter rubbish in all my time reading this forum. Lame duck my arse.

No. Odds are ratios rather than fractions.
if the odds are 4/1, you put 1 unit in to win that unit back plus 4 from the bookie. So for 1 unit bet you win 5. Hence 1 in 5 chance.
Hope that helps.
