game also pulled from goals galore coupon, grr

That is so pathetic.

They have a huge edge on that coupon and can't give the poor punter a tiny chance.

I hate bookmakers sometimes.

Where is the edge, just all the mugs doing million timers?

Was there a thread were you explained why it was shit, i can't remember?

Only reason I ask is that one of my mates keeps doing trebles and an acca from 4 selections and he argued that it has to be good value when he is getting 4/5 on 4/6 shots (both teams to score bookies prices on the selections he does after his research) and I failed to launch a reasonable counter argument, i just kept saying it should be renamed Mugs Galore.


If you are genuinely getting 4/5 about things that are 4/6 on Betfair then the punter does have an edge but the thing is that the bookies use the coupons totally to their own ends.  If a price has moved then no punter can get it to any kind of size but if a punter puts the other side in one of their accas they never ever give the punter the new increased price and unless you are really picking and choosing then the multiplication of the margin means that they really do have a huge theoretical margin.

More marv defending there, sigh.

Usual pattern is we go 2-0 down, then 2-1 on half-time, then start playing in the second half shooting towards our own fans. Goals coming.

bit gutted the game is a draw at ht because in a game like this the 28/1 shot ht fts posh x soton and ston x posh are monster value given the goal expectations.  Was praying soton would hold on til ht.  never mind.

More of a pen than Southamapton's second one!

CMS, Boyd and Lewis must be heartily sick of playing so well and letting in 4.

It's always the same. Tomlin was quiet tonight. Midfield is fine, espesh with Ball now in and Frecklington nearly back. Front three - Boyd, Mackail, Tomlin - awesome.

Full backs the worst in history. Can't do anything about it until the summer, so don't see any reason why things will change short term. Joe Lewis isn't as good as made out.

They'll improve when Zakuani comes back in a few weeks but, until then, we're away at Charlton on Tuesday. More of the same thanks if any other score is 5.6 or bigger.

10 2 3 45 32

What a redic home record.  77 goals in 15 games.  Surely the best value season ticket in the world.
