Transfer talk - managerial or otherwise

Recommended Posts

Forgive me if this is obvious to everyone else and I have only just cottoned on to the fact, but speculation is a gift to footy punters just as it is in any other market.  Start a rumour with no basis, odds are created, bet against it knowing it doesn''t have a snowballs chance of happening.  Hey ho, you''re (note everyone you''re not your) in the money.  The proliferation of betting has opened up this fantastic opportunity.  Don''t touch it.  Lambert to West Ham?  Doubt it but you never know.  What I do know is that there''s every chance it''s groundless, hope so, and that''s what I would be betting on.

But the way betting works, the odds for and against will add upto over one, so the hooky wins if the same amount is staked on each. If he''s 10/1 to go, he''ll be 1/11 to stay, or more. At those prices you''d have to stake a load of cash to make any money. When his odds are 2/1, 15/8 or something, then it will be worth betting against, but then it''s probably going to happen.
