interesting

considering that his teams are SIGNIFICANTLY weaker than the rest of them i would say that a 2 to 1 ratio of draws to losses is.................................actually its bad that he hasnt won a single game. but iwould still like to know how we would have fared in comparison

It's dreadful, 10 years in charge, not a single player in the team that is not his player, all the time in the world to create a system, and while his teams are weaker, the squad is actually not that bad.

People don't seem to acknowledge it, but Everton are consumate bottlers, only play well when the pressure is off, and Moyes has to take some of the blame there.

At the price that AvB is you would be nuts not to lay him to get your stake back at the very least.

My personal feelings is that with what happened at Liverpool the exact same thing is happening here in terms of the media creating a fav, formed from looking at MB voting.

Dangerous game IMO

Saying that, someone is definatley looking to stop the price from drifting. Whether its someone that knows something or a bookie hedging off its something we will not know. Personally if it is one individual, I'd sure like to know who it is, because its ultimatley nothing short of insider dealing.
Take the news the other day regarding Blanc, it drifted from 1.3 to 1.6 then someone came in and started backing it with large chunks back down again (remember against the breaking news), purposely putting larger blockers up to stop it drifting thus creating a uthoria of belief that he had 100% got the gig. As I said, I sure would like to know whether the individual has anything to do with the football club.

got to agree there....the FA semi against Liverpool was a recent example, Everton could have had that game won had Moyes been braver in his selection and tactics. I mean, they took the lead in the first half and just decided to hold onto it for the rest of the game. Very pragmatic and safety first manager. Thats why he wouldnt even contemplate working for someone like Levy. Its just too big a risk. Its nice and comfy with Kenwright

Its really simple Ian, even a girl knows how to use it.

Basically when news comes that is detrimental to someone chances you would expect it to drift. I gave the example of the Blanc news of him in talks. Someone was willing to back against this news and stop the price drifting and they kept putting up ?500 after ?500... until all the small punters had decided they had enough, thus keeping it at 1.5 or 1/2

If you look at the market there is still a chunk up to stop normal ?5 punters from making it drift.

As I said I believe its a bookmaker backing back after laying people in their shops at 1.2, therefore taking the margin difference of 0.3.

If its someone or an individual just backing then I'd want to know who they are and whether they are connected to the club.

Watch the next time that some snippet happens that would be detrimental to AvBs chances, in they come backing him again stopping him drifting.

They did it for Blanc news on Sky Sports, they did it when the back pages had him threatening to pull out yesterday.

All news detrimental to someone being favourite.
 
You talk a lot of sense unknown. However, the next manager market is very volatile and not to be read into too much.

I didn't understand that.
 
The blue side is money put up by the bookie

The pink side is money put up by the punter.

There are two middle colomns where the pink and blue meets. These are the actual odds available to take first

To back AVB you click the middle blue column which at the minute is say 1.35 underneath this decimal figure is the amount available at that price.

Therefore say you have 10 pounds on it at 1.35 you work it out you take home 35p for every pound therefore 10 quid would pay you 3.50 plus your stake back

If you don't think it will be AVB you click the middle pink column

If the price is 1.4 and you wish to take 40 pounds it therefore means for every 10 pounds your willing to give up 4 pounds, 40 would mean your outlay as the bookie is 16 pounds if you want to take 40 out of it. Basically you become the bookmaker.

Decimal odds are just the same as fraction odds

1.4 = 2/5

1.53 = 8/15

1.8 = 4/5

2.5 = 6/4

5.5 = 9/2

No? Both sides are by the punters.

not when your trying to make people understand it.. most know about walking into a bookies, I think its easier to make people understand this way.

Saying both are punters just confuses. In other words too much too soon.
 
Yeah sorry, the bookie analogy is helpful although tbh I think you're wasting your time trying to explain it to him :)
