Amazing, 100's of years of systematic gambling rubbished with one man's ideal
i'm going to stick to the people that calculate odds scientifically for a living and just say i definately dont agree with you

That I don't gamble on sport? I don't. Too many potentially unknown quantities, e.g. poor official decisions, can effect the outcome.
I'll stick with what I believe in though. Home advantage is an unquantifiable massive advantage. In the Premiership there are no easy away games, which is why I get so irate when I hear arrogant Spurs fans banging on about drawing 0-0 at Sunderland to be a fudging joke result. Losing at home to Norwich was a joke result, but losing against Everton away certainly was not.

It's called common sense. A concept I know you struggle with. And the key words are "at this level". Naturally if a Premiership club is playing a League Two club away from home, I'd expect the Premiership club to be favourites.
But bookies do pre-analyse possible betting patterns. Do you think they do not?!

You just said every home team is favourite?? Doesn't sound too uncertain!! Do you actually read your own posts??

Bookies analyze what they think the likely outcome of games are. They adjust to betting patterns to adjust for possible mistake and lower their variance. But if the betting patterns are different from the expected likely outcome that means the bookies earn money.

I never said I know more than the Bookies. The Bookies play the long game and they'll ensure they don't get hit too hard by freak results as well. If you think that Bookies set their odds based on anything other than past financial analysis then you are clueless on this topic and shouldn't really be trying to debate it.

Of course you know all about sports betting analysis, of course you do. Another one of your many talents no doubt.

Don't need to. And it would take me an eternity to go through because to get an accurate figure you'd need 100 years of data. Anything less could be dismissed as variance.

I don't, but other people I have played poker with do. And I'll take their word over yours. Especially as some of them are bookies.

Oh so now it's people you've played poker with?? I thought it was complex financial analysis I didn't understand? Sounds like you don't understand either old boy, and it shows.
