Zak Van Burger 0 Posted April 8, 2013 We were 7/4 for relegation back in August, I''d say now the seasons form has been revealed we''re seen as much less likely to be relegated and the resultant natural tendency for the odds to rise as the gap remains constant with fewer points available has been negated by Norwich fans taking out "a little insurance" at big odds to the point the odds have shortened slightly.The Lord Montys of the board clearly don''t understand that 10 norwich fans benignly betting £50 quid each at 16/1 creates an exposure to the bookies that would currently require some mug to bet £800,000 on Reading to balance (1/100). Of course the odds change according to bets wagered, and in this market it doesn''t take vast amounts either when the favourites are so shortly priced as to be unbackable.

ncfcstar 287 Posted April 8, 2013 Exactly Zak, and the market wouldn''t allow a bet of £800k which means the odds can change with only very small bets on any team. I bet (see what I did there) if you went on Sky bet they wouldn''t allow bets of over £1k (maybe less) because it would alter the market too much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mister Chops 7 Posted April 8, 2013 [quote user="Row D Seat 7"]Saturday, we could and should have won considering we need the points. Swansea don''t.So many dropped points where we should''ve won the game:QPR home 1-1, West Ham home 0-0, Newcastle home 0-0, Southampton home 0-0, Fulham home 0-0, Reading away 0-0, Wigan away 1-0, Swansea home 2-2.Out of the above 24 points were available. We picked up 7 points. Not good enough. Soooooo many dropped points that could''ve been wins with a bit more positivity, which is ironic considering many Norwich fans constantly talk about being positive. Yet with a bit more positivity we could have 40+ points by now. 1 win in 15.[/quote]Man U home 1-0, Arsenal home 1-0, Spurs away 1-1, Swansea away 4-3, Everton away 1-1. 15 points there, we picked up 11. Soooooo much negativity in the post above. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
